Pay us 20m and be done with it. We ain't budging if you ain't buying.

I really felt it!! I won't be so sure next time. Another trauma to get over as a newcastle fan haha

It's been bumped about 3 times now hahaha

If Aston Villa win the conference league and get into the europa league but also get into the europa league via their Premier league position, do we get another EL spot?

Whaaaaat???

Haha ill keep my mouth shut next time!!!!!

FUCK THAT PREMIER LEAGUE

Yes please do tell us

The one that got away

Please don't leave Eddie!

I don't think it can be underestimated how much Pope helped us. Arsenal fans have said the same thing about Raya and Ramsdale. They said that against Brentford, even though Ramsdale is the better shot stopper, the reason he has to pull off worldies is because he lumps it up field every time and they can't get it on the floor and are liable to the counter. Raya helps them play the way they want to play. They've all said it and all notice it, plus they all say that all their players are press proof and Arteta notices it which is why he dropped Ramsdale quite suddenly. We play differently to Arsenal. We aren't usually a play it on the ground team, I think Howe wants us to be but we don't have the players gifted enough for that yet (only Bruno, possibly Tino and Isak are press proof at present). Even though Pope lumped it up field, we pressed significantly and when we lost the ball, we had a sweeper keeper and an excellent shot stopper to prevent the counter attacks. In Dubravka, we don't have that. He's a good keeper and he can play the ball at his feet but he doesn't come out and he isn't as good at shot stopping as Pope. I really don't think we can underestimate this. Plus looking at what players we are still playing with on a consistent basis. Until the squad is completely overhauled (even from the Eddie Howe-saving-us-from-relegation-year) we will have disappointing results.

Anyone wanting instant success needs to slow down. Eddie doesn't just bring his magician ways in making forgotten players like Schar, Joelinton and to an extent Almiron perform way above their station but he brings a stability, a class and a willingness to improve. Don't let us be like Chelsea. He obviously has what it takes but we've lost 300 mins/or was it days?? more than anyone else due to injuries. I believe he's our fergie. I don't want anyone else. I want him to make mistakes, learn from them, improve. How all humans should operate and be treated. You're not made into a world class manager over night. It takes dedication and failure. And don't mention Pep because every team he's had everything at his disposal. Yes world class but Eddie has taken a bunch of championship and mid table prem players and with a few sprinklings of quality, got us top 4. We should not be so short sighted.

I admire Froggy's admiration to defend Ratcliffe to the death but honestly, if we had done this I'd be embarrassed. I was certainly miffed and had an uncomfortable egg on my face feeling when Ashworth said he was leaving us to join Manchester.... now? I'm rather enjoying the whole situation and feel like we have wiped the egg off our face and thrown it straight back at them. Splat!

Two words for me. Jesse. Lingard. Man United can literally fuck off with their whining - I hope the club make them bend over backwards. I hope we take them all to the cleaners. If people continue to joke that our owners, mainly the Saudi connection, are ruthless then that's exactly what we should give them.

And can we get some of that AI juice for us? Fuck Ashworth, let's have Mr AI in charge.
