Strange inclusion imo, pretty high-profile signing and lots of focus & analysis has been done on him from opposing fans & the media since. Same with a few inclusions in there such as Anderson & Fraser, both pretty highly praised this season. Of our players, Hayden, Schar & Lejeune/Dummett are the unsung heroes. In fact, you never hear Lejeune mentioned by anyone but our fans despite being easily one of our best players.

Very honest. Can think of a couple of occasions just in the past 3 weeks where we could have won a penalty but played on. Occasions involving Schar & Atsu spring to mind.

Still fancy Man City to overpower them in the last 10 or so minutes and win it by 1 or 2.

It's a blackletter script aye. Given that blackletter dates back to the 11th century, it has a whole array of connotations and uses than just Nazi propaganda. Fraktur I believe was the specific blackletter typeface most associated with the Nazi party, but even then, they did not create or have ownership of the typeface, it's simply because it was prevalent in German literature and in general due to it's legibility when used with the German language. Naturally, the Nazis used it simply because it lends itself well to the language and its compact form when printed allows it be read quickly - allowing them to convey messages effectively, hence its use in this flag presumably.

Went with Schar. First season, defender, 3.5m, probably expected him to be bit part, but in reality he's been one of the league's best centre backs this season whilst providing some spectacular moments in attack. He's also the classiest player we've had since Cabaye left.

Arzani would be a class squad signing

I wonder if his knowledge of the criticism of him in his years here has influenced his thinking in terms of leaving? He's obviously aware of it displayed by his goal celebration.

No need My tongue was firmly in cheek with that post of mine, even if the mugs sentiment holds a degree of truth which I personally believe is what all fans are these days who pay to become some kind of card carrying fully paid up member to follow their club in person physically or on their person by way of a replica shirt, especially ours. Mugs for donating their hard earned money to the unworthy cause that is a Mike Ashley ownership and paying the salaries of players and managers like Alan Pardew and Jack Colback who represent themselves and their own personal cause fans’ money brings them ahead of any other other cause, the fans’ own especially. Whatever that now is today. Owners, players and manager whose cause is to their own wealth and fame, control and power - which 90% of those who represent our clubs and our game are loyal to and honour the pursuit of first, even a lot of the good ‘uns amongst them. Any other cause secondary to their own and most fans’ last on the list or not even listed. For Wor Flags I donated to their own cause and although they personally added the names of those who donated to help fund the banner (I opted to remain anonymous), the message WE ARE THE MAGS has the name of everyone of us on that banner anyway which I’ve interpreted as a message to the owner, players and managers and some so-called fans as WE ARE Newcastle United, not you. HTT, I like you and you often make some good points. But you can’t go around calling our own, superb fans which are often all that’s any good about this club ‘mugs’. I’m fully behind anyone who wishes to not attend and also those who do wish to attend, I see good reasons for both positions. Neither are mugs.

The crisp, North Sea air will mend him man.

Would be very happy with him as long as we're getting Rondon too. Welbeck is class when fit, him & Rondon would be very healthy options up top. Welbeck also able to play the role of Almiron or Perez.

He's good aye, bit of an all-round midfielder. Did cost a canny bit from Lille like, £15+ million iirc. Must be nice. No it was definitely Lille

3 realistic targets I'd like to see are Salomon Rondon, Solly March & Joe Bryan. Tons of potential in the latter two for Rafa to work with, and both seem like decent, hardworking characters.

I've used everyone else bar Hayden, Diame, Ki, Atsu & Manquillo. Dummett has been good for us this season

Well deserved.

A bit RTG there isn't it "raising our game for them" when we beat City and have been on this run of form. Plus I could be wrong but wasn't Salah applauded off? Whole stadium clapped Salah off What they crying about man, they won the game I'll now take extra pleasure in watching Messi put them to the sword in their own back yard next week.

Rondon was absolutely brilliant tonight man. Really deserved a point there, but unfortunately it's to be expected due to the quality of officiating in this country.

Unpopular opinion: He's better at attacking than Yedlin (as well as defending, obviously).

Quality tonight.

Because the refs in this country are horrific. We should start getting the best performing refs from the continent.

That's not Lee Dixon's voice? Also, NAH!

Van Dijk looking rattled mind. Apart from stupid, stupid defending, we've been good.
