Didn’t see the game as I’m out with the family (this is last three games v spurs at st James park I’ve had to go out now) but it seems like barnes and Tonali needed to be starting for the time being? I’m having Tonali on Forrest game

There’s only one statistic that counts… XG - how did we do on that, does anybody know?

Can lions defend

His corner was better than any of ours

Yeah and the stories of Howe vetoing others also fits that as well - along with Ashworth reportedly struggling to work with him, and the Bournemouth fans post.

I actually think this is probably correct

Maybe but all the others paid off and Tonali probably still will.

Agreed, got great results and loads of credit in the bank but after we did great at first buying overseas with botman and isak we just stopped and bought British. I don’t know why or who is responsible for this but something in the system needs addressing as it seems to me a lot of prem clubs don’t wanna deal with us. I know I’m simplifying this but it seems obvious what we should do.

It’s £500m in two ands a bit years but around £540m in around 16 years 😀 - we were starting so far behind and we’re now seeing that rod on Eddies back that was spoke about earlier on. I do believe though that Mitchell would love to get Poch in as our next manager though as they have a history.

I said on the day of the takeover to my dad “I wonder how long it will take”, now we know.

Point and case - calling a season where finish sixth a failure would have been unspeakable just a few years ago. A season where a better backup keeper would have seen us into Europe again. Unfortunate or unlucky is a word more appropriate for me than failure.

When does that sport support start?

Our fans have become so spoiled and needy so quick it’s cringy to be honest,

Can he make amazing saves with his feet - so good that everyone will take him for granted and zoom in on just his negatives, quickly forgetting how many points we dropped last season when he wasn’t in goal?

Can I give you a thumbs up for that comment? Were you including me in that assumption or not?

If we make a sensible signing in a position we need cover for I’ll be fuming.

Just says it was mutual consent so who knows, could be the club being good to him or the other way round.

To take the Burnley job the first time I think but returned back and wiki states he turned several other offers down sitting his time there, he doesn’t seem like a quitter to me. Second time he left on mutual consent after relegation, that sounds like just falling on the sword to me.

And managing a club bottom of the lowest division on minus points must have been seriously worse than this but he stuck it out.

Isn’t this the first time he’s ever been in this role? How does he have a style already - so many things bring pulled out of thin air in here. None of us know what’s going on behind closed doors.

Mental isn’t it - we have a manager who only ever walked away from one club (Burnley) in 16 years of management apparently going to quit because he theoretically hasn’t been backed enough in this window to his liking.

Then when do we ever do it? Keep running isak into the ground and it’ll bite us in the arse.

Can we discuss this over 280 pages?

You’ve got more self control than me

Road oak was a great pub and lovely father and daughter owners, many a full summers day there and I was probably watching that match in there as well lol. You used to occasionally get the five live sports blonde Geordie lass in there watching the matches as well, she was actually dead sound.
