Good job you're not a referee... and on camera!

Really worried it'll be Scott...

Reading through this thread and seeing what goals have been disallowed (wrongly IMO) does confirm there's a definite need for VAR. If only we could use it correctly....

Puncheon Akinfenwa Vokes Toure Pique Pepe

McTominay next....

Medical today and not announced yet..? Worrying.

Johnny, who got sent off lad?

That was my problem I also realised we didn't have tons of loveable LBs. Couldn't bring myself to include Enrique.

I was asked a question earlier by a family member, which made me think.... "What's your favourite Newcastle XI, and managed by who?" A difficult one! But I went with a semi-credible formation (some creative license). Given Solano Schar Coloccini Burn Cabaye Speed Bruno HBA Jonas Shearer Manager: Sir Bobby. What's your starting XI? Really interested in hearing some of the answers..

Taylor vs Villa. When two of your players get sent off for having a punch up in the centre circle and it's NOT the most ridiculous thing to happen in the game, you have to wonder what the hell is going on

They're doing f*** all about it. They know it, we know it, and they know that we know it.

Whether Howe would or not, and whether it'd be a good thing or not is irrelevant IMO. I don't see any situation where the FA give the Saudis any level of compensation... The FA are massively risk adverse and won't want a media storm or questions asked. The next England manager will either be in the system (Carsley) or available on a free (Lampard or Potter).

In it for the money, or for the love of the club. Tory, or not. Likeable, or not. All irrelevant to me. They gave me the best present I've ever received. They gave me back my club. I'll be forever thankful.

Apparently, Fenerbache and Mourinho are "monitoring his situation". Off to Turkey?

Didn't want a penalty. Don't believe he has a concussion at all. He got a ball to the side of the face. He doesn't fancy it. Just like he didn't at St James' Park...
