I'd love it if Everton were relegated. But it's one of those teams that you can't even cherry pick the best players from them because they're all pretty bad. "Onana what's his name" seems pretty good and I always liked the look of Demarai. Plus he was a Rafa signing. Leeds going down would be better. Sommerville and gnonto look very good.

Even this beautiful beach in Mexico I'm on cannot calm the nerves!! Will be a 1030am game for me which I'm glad about because I don't have to be awake all day waiting for it. Gutted to miss it at Wembley though, I hope all that go have an amazing day!

Yeah I think the run in to this season in FPL is brutal. I've not used any of my chips yet but I know the fixtures are all mental coming up so even though people are jumping me now, in a few weeks time they'll be a bit fucked. Especially with loads of BGWs coming up.. That's what I'm hoping anyway! Managed to field 10 players, 4 doublers and no chip this week. Took a -4 but I'm thinking about the big BGW in week 28.

In the article he said he was a skinny kid so be played winger haha. Must have shed a few pounds!! Great great article. What a humble player! Down to earth and a grafter! He is the epitomy of Newcastle and we will not be leaving Wembley without a fight!

Love Shearer. Thanks for posting.

Snap I'm afraid. Fight ya for it!

Sweet Karius, buh buh buh, good times never seemed so good! Now that would be absolutely class. Make it happen wembley peeps!!

Beef or chicken oxo cube? Or are you vegetable? I'm feeling beef but not sure why.

I get that he will get a medal and all that but it CANT genuinely feel good can it? Like he played 2 games for them, was barely even on the bench and the whole loan was just an embarrassing shambles. If man Utd win, he may have that on his Wikipedia page, but is he actually going to feel like he "won it". Cheap to me. Should support the club that have supported him for all these years IMO! At least with us he's actually the number 2.

Exactly this. Imagine Pope did what he did in the final.. I mean I get it's fucking shit that you've helped the team lose by making an error but what happened to Karius was terrible..awful set of fans. I went on RAWK to see what they thought of Karius playing in the final and one fan suggested it would be nice if he was successful and STILL, still most couldn't even bring themselves to wish him the best just because it was for us. If any ex Newcastle player went through that and then joined another team after we'd let them go because of the one error, even if it was a team I hated, I would still wish them the best. Horrible fans. I know it's only a message board but I got the general gist. Most don't care if he crashes and burns.

I have no idea but I like it.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

He will put in an absolute blinder and become our steadfast number 2 next season.

Feel for him.... What a keeper. Allison makes mistakes like that all the time but it's also what makes him so effective.. He will brush it off, I hope he does! One match ban right?

Haha now this I can imagine!

I think we've weirdly been the better team albeit two well taken and created chances for Liverpool. Hit the bar twice and now down to 10 men and still have had more shots. Good spirit..a Howe inspired half time chat will have the lads raring. Karius to have an absolute blinder in the cup final and stick it to Liverpool and Man Utd. But yes one or two points to forget. NEEK POPE, happens to the best of us eh? Even you're human!

Pleased Brighton lost and also Estupinan came off at 61 mins so I got my clean sheet points

Get behind Elliot! Last time he had a start in the cup, he was playing with mostly championship players in the dreggs. He looked very good coming on last week so I think he's fine. I am quietly confident, hope you all will be too!

Really pleased for him, great to get an early goal in a new challenge. Hope he does very well. Helped keep us up last season and hope he does the same for Forest.

Well well well. Delighted for Anderson with first premier League start, I'm sure he is absolutely buzzing. Howe must see something. And in him I trust! Very interesting game to watch. We have Gordon to come off the bench and Wilson so enough to change it up if things go south. Come on lads!!!

Potter must regret jumping ship so much. He should have stayed with Brighton. I mean, what idiot thought going to Chelsea was a good idea? Honestly, if I can see it, can he not?! His reputation has regressed so much now that when he is inevitably sacked, he will only get jobs at the likes of Southampton or Bournemouth etc and he will have not progressed at all. Anyone could see Brighton were doing well. Tbh I'm not sure how good a manager he is now since the new one is doing brilliantly also. He's had ages with that Chelsea team, plus a mini pre season. You could see instant changes at the toon with Howe and in 3 months we looked like a much better side. Chelsea look worse. Very worrying for him! Delighted for us though!

Hopefully a Newcastle win can add to that. It's what Atsu would want and that's what we need to give him!

Inevitable after so long now... Really upsetting. I thought a lot about him last night and the people of Turkey; I'm currently in Mexico and we had 3 little earthquakes over night that woke us up. The air con machine and windows rattled so hard, it felt larger than it was and was quite scary. It kept me up all night, just making me reflect and think how fucking scary it must have been in Turkey/Syria and I pray to whoever the hell is up there that Atsu and many others did not suffer and were knocked out quickly. RIP Atsu and everyone else affected by the earthquake. X

Unfortunately they were! It had to be a loan fee and then if clause was activated, a separate fee of 15m.. Laughable. Chris Wood for the win!!

Don't forget the 4m loan fee too. So we actually got 19m for him!
