Playing purely fantasy football he would be my pick for a PIF statement signing... Could be this generations Shearer

Not really - was genuinely puzzled at the two year ahead thing other than manager length of service

Totally agree! As a Newcastle supporter I'm not jealous of anyone

Champions League final was 2019, Spurs were in last season's champions league both fairly recent... we were relegated in 2016. Not that is matters as we're both agreeing the same sentiment... It just irks me a little when other non NUFC fans forget just how badly Ashley hamstrung every single aspect of the club

On re reading I am assuming it's seasons with the current manager in place but TCD summed it up nicely and no way other than length of service of current manager are we ahead of Spurs

I agree with the sentiment especially the having a bit of fun and enjoying watching your team bit - we were \ are hit with the same stick regularly but I did raise an eyebrow at the bold... Yes Eddie has been in place longer than Ange but us two years ahead of Spurs really? Relegation v Champions league final and we are ahead?

I agree with the bold but I don't see Gallagher as better in anyway - seems to fall down an awful lot ruining any good work he had previously done; I would have been over the moon to sign him after his spell at Palace but now I'd take Sean all day everyday and twice on Sunday

I agree with this but fail to see what Gallagher brings to the table at international level above what Sean and it would be nice to see him get the recognition but overall it's probably best he gets a rest those weeks

Rightly or wrongly player or the tournament in the U21's too - so much for progression etc.

He always and to be fair most modern players do, does roll with his studs, so it’s not like he was show boating with the chance

Yep that is correct... I remind anyone in earshot of that whenever (insert idiot media pundit) recommends Sam Allardyce for a job or defends his time with us!

What I was trying to say!

There is a sense of excitement (for me anyway) when he picks the ball up and runs at defence but second half yesterday Wan Basaka (sic) had him in his pocket so much so that ASM seemed to panic a little or maybe got desperate... As much as I love Burn and good be a little knee jerk after yesterday he needs to become Botman's backup and Targett come back in when to fit with a potential upgrade in the summer and hopefully that gets ASM to where he was between now and May because by God we need more goal threat at the minute.... Could have played till now and not looked like scoring yesterday
