I know!! Feel for the guy though, he made a couple of great saves (particularly the ‘fingertips’ Maxi one) and all that has been highlighted are the errors.

You’ve (we’ve) already got 11 strong game-changers helping with that inherent Geordie pessimism ?

Game week 30 Man United 2-0 Everton Villa 3-1 Forest Brentford 1-2 Newcastle Fulham 1-2 West Ham Leicester 1-1 Bournemouth Spurs 2-1 Brighton Wolves 1-1 Chelsea Southampton 0-4 Man City Leeds 2-1 Palace Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal

Looked really sharp, cool and collected when he came on. Great to see.

I am officially no longer at the ‘end of my tether’ with yer man Murphy. He was great tonight. Confident and progressive in a first half which saw few shine, even better until he went off in the second. Best of a few good performances in a row. Redemption arc popping-out like a semi-erect rainbow.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

What a goal that would have been. Murphy would have deserved it.

Thank fuck!

Can’t see us winning at the mo (feels ridiculous to say given how tight we have been this season).

To be fair, we were sloppy as fuck and disjointed from the start. Murphy the only player who is getting the better of his man. Paquetaaaaa (feel like it needs more a’s) and Rice dominating.

Second best in every department. Oddest game to have been two nil up. Hope we can settle into it/they don’t equalise this half.

Hard to say. Never seen us make so many unforced errors so quickly and we’re two up

Anyone else shitting it as Joelinton swing his left foot?? (Get in!!)

Really looking forward to seeing Bruno and Paquetá on opposing teams.

They beat Wolves 2-0 in their next match, then drew 0-0 away to Chelsea.

Seems realistic. Though think Brentford will give you a hard game and often more difficult than it should be against teams fighting against relegation.

There haven’t been any 65 point fourth place finishes in the last 10 years. 4th points total has been (going backwards): Spurs 71, Chelsea 67, Chelsea 66, Spurs 71, Liverpool 75, Liverpool 76, Man City 66, Man United 70, Arsenal 79, Arsenal 73. The average for 4th, over 29 PL seasons, is 68 points. 59 points at the end of April and, given the number of games per month, we’re on track for that.

It did.

I’ve seen enough in his game to suggest he will be a major player for us next season. Guess we’ll only be able to make a valid judgement when he gets a decent run in the team.

So many plaudits in the media about the atmosphere yesterday. Martin Keown raving on Talksport, Gary Neville in commentary (we are ‘ferocious’ apparently). Our own players raving about home support. Think we should accept that we are relatively speaking a good crowd, at worst, and also that the experience of it (as someone who sits where I can get a ticket) differs acoustically depending upon where you are. I’m proud of our fans (particularly away). I think we all should be.

Piece in the i newspaper at the weekend, saying there are three different lists of targets depending on where we finish. One for missing out on Europe, one for Europa league, one for Champions league. Not sure how the journo knows/what he was basing it on, but loved the comment that the latter list could see us going for the quality of players most had assumed we were 4 or 5 years away from.

Loved hearing Gary Neville acknowledging that the real Bruno (he may not have called him that…) was by far the best midfield player on the pitch.

Did intervene/act as peacemaker towards the end to be fair. Could be faintly heard: “Eh, Eeric, chill man ze Eddie has the know-Howe we did think.”

Does he normally have such a twitchy Meerkat like vibe? Or was he just a bit caught in the headlights after the ass-whipping?
