Get in

Wake up lads, c’mon

And is why the PL will never want to re-open this.

I didn't expect that. Quite stunned

We have been pretty shite, can’t say it wasn’t coming

Okay lads, forgiven!!

Come on lads. This isn't good enough

Confident we'll create a hatful of good chances, as we normally do. But our finishing leaves a lot to be desired. And this lot seem to raise their levels against us, so predicting a tough game here. We'll probably need a bit of Isak magic to squeak through. 1-2.

Not good enough

Massive

Now lets put these dirty cunts to bed

Ayew shit c***

I think we'll win. Isak, ASM and Willock will be too much for them on the transition. Plus Bruno pinging those balls around. We got this.

Smart operator

Isak is gassed

Fucking hell even Blaydon Races has got an airing

ISAK

OK fair enough. My thoughts are: 1) We would be financially strengthening a rival club by taking a player, that in my view, gives them an easy opportunity to strengthen an important position. 2) Does the signing of McT match the ownerships stated ambitions for where they want this club to be going forward (champions league position)? 3) We obviously don't have all the background data / analytics, but the good old eye test would suggest he is bang average. 4) Is it likely we'd sell him at a profit, if we signed him for £30m - £40m? I'm not sure. I have reservation on all these points, so I'm hoping Howe get rebuffed if he genuinely is pursuing this lad. Which I would add is all conjecture at this point. We need to do better than McT if we are serious about progressing. Howe will eventually need to get used to managing higher profile players if he is to take us forward anyway.

Why? Not being an arse but I genuinely don't understand this view.

Agree with this. The announcer with his "Enjoy the Game" cry - I mean wtf is that all about, it needs to stop. Literally encourages people to treat the match like going to a theatre, sit back say nothing and be entertained.

Thanks for the summary. It doesn't fill me with any confidence at all. 1500 odd standing places will just look naff.

Good to see Targett back

Burn being a tit

We need proactive subs.

Awful from Burn. Absolutely awful
