Strange post. There wouldn't be any discussion about Mitrovic if our top striker had managed more than 5 goals all season. Or if we didn't look useless in front of goal every week. To call what's gone on the last 100 pages or so a "discussion" is generous on a level I didn't know existed. Discussions usually have finish lines. Outcomes. Not circular arguing by people talking past each other with fingers in their ears going "la la la can't hear you." Not one single step of progress has been made towards consensus or answering the plaintive mating cry of the blue tailed mitrononce as it warbles "but why, but why" in its nest. It's all very pointless. As is complaining about it, I'm aware. But I've got it off my chest now, so as you were. Why would you expect to reach an outcome, consensus, or finish line when you're talking about ever-changing scenarios such as a club's form and player selection? Last I checked this is a football forum. By your logic, we should shut down every thread on here because I don't see a consensus in any of them. The whole point of a forum is that people will exchange views, often opposing ones. We have here a situation where our top scorer is on 5 goals, and looks unlikely to reach the 9 goals which a striker on our books - who has been farmed out on loan - reached in his first season in the Premier League at the age of 21. Now said striker is playing and scoring regularly - albeit at a lower level - and it's inevitable people will draw comparisons at a time when the club are desperate for goals. We can't just throw toys out of the pram because people have opposing views. Very good post.

Where did U2 go? Not seen any of his "divisive" posting for a while.

In the Championship. Where Dwight Gayle was top scorer in the league. Where Shola Ameobi had a better than one in two record. It's such an irrelevant comparison man. You not annoyed Slimani is injured? Been a real dud of a loan move so far. Hopefully he comes good (and there is time) but at the moment, it's not great. You can argue about the merits of the Championship, but Mitro is currently in good form and looking sharp. Well hindsight is a fantastic thing. When we signed Slimani he was supposed to be out for two weeks tops. You can't really legislate for injuries unless you are buying an injury prone player. That's fair enough, it's just been a shame so far. There's time, and if he scores a few important goals, that help to keep us up, it's all good.

It's super annoying that we've brought in Slimani, he's injured, probably won't play until Huddersfield, and Mitro has scored 5 goals in 2 weeks. Typical Newcastle tbh.

Will gan absolutely radge, if we're relegated, and Mitro bangs in double figures for Fulham tbf.

They're going to have to win back to back games, or at least win 2 games out of 3 somewhere, and I just can't see that happening.

I'm certain we'd have at least 3-4 more points if Mitro was playing instead of Joselu. I think Rafa has got this one wrong, but he's the boss, and we have to accept his decisions.

His second goal was a class finish tbf.

Happy for him, glad he's banging them in. Go on Mitro.

Palace have got Chelsea, Huddersfield, Liverpool next. It's tough for them. We need to take advantage on Saturday.

Worst interview of all time

Just a huge game. A win here really would feel like a game changer.

Get the fuck in. Massive result for us, that could really fuck Palace's season up. 2-0 up, they needed to at least get a point there.

I like the team, lots of pace for counter attacks. Howay the lads!

West Ham have got some "winnable" games but they also have a pretty tough April (Chelsea, Arsenal, City).

Whoa West Ham 3 nil down!

This site is such a part of my routine now. Was rattled when I couldn't log in this morning.

Swansea 2 up man!! Wanted a draw there.

Miss you sweet prince.

Loving hounding my Arsenal mate on whats app atm. He's so rattled.
