Next season we need to improve our away record against top half teams. It's shite frankly. P9 W1 D1 L7 and no clean sheets. If you include current teams at 11-13 it's still only one win. That's two thirds of the league. We lose too easily away at the top teams. I'm sure Howe will be onto this already.

A bit of tail risk from the old FUN888 deal https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ce9vnk2pky8o

A favour for one of his American mates who owns Chelsea? £20m is peanuts to him but helps his mates justify the £200m valuation, just a thought!

Open to a move to Arsenal per 'well placed sources', according to the BBC live Transfer Q&A page. They won't leave it alone will they.

We need to finish above two to get 5th. People keep overlooking Chelsea.

If only football was played on paper 😁

Two of our rivals played tonight. Between them they accumulated 3 points, if it was a draw it would have been 2 points accumulated. How is Man City winning better than a draw!

In the Athletic article it says our new owners converted the MA loan nto equity. Bournemouth didn't do that they took the loan w/off credit into the P&L

Once again it shows how good our scouting team is. We do miss a few gems to others like Brighton, Bournemouth and so on. But we rarely seem to make bad signings.

And once they sell their woman's team to themselves for £100m+ they'll be able to invest in it further.

I'm not going. I was there on Sunday and nothing will top that.

Brilliant atmosphere in the stadium. Crowd was in full voice from about 3pm on the concourse in the top bowl. Continued throughout the game. We made it like a home game and the players knew it.

Based on how it worked last time it will be very difficult to sneak into the Green Man without a ticket.

And the opposite to the opening question is. Why do people with no ticket watch the game at home by themselves. Why not go to the pub to see mates and watch it together in an atmosphere with fellow toon fans.

Totally agree. I now celebrate a goal like I celebrate a penalty. It's 90% there but you know there's a good chance it won't count. The Schar goal against Brighton last week being an example FFS 😫

.....as the size of the Wembley pitch gives wingers as massive opportunity.... A lot of people make this mistake. SJP and Wembley pitches are the same size.

No complaints from me on the rise. The lad next to me pays something like £895? for his this season. I was expecting it to be close to £1000 next season

Yes, well 14 years I think it is. It's the East Stand. It's all category 1.

About £560 to £940. Quite a jump!

It's not just the signings. It's the selling of players at the right time. Those funds can bring in more adventurous players in the £5m-£15m bracket from the lower divisions or abroad. We didn't sell Miggy or Wilson or Trippier at the right time. That's passed now. But we can't replicate that going forward. This summer is the peak time to sell Longstaff, Murphy, Pope, Barnes and maybe even Bruno. Willock wont increase in value going forward I suspect. So its this summer for him. The whole team looks stale. We need a big turnover of players. KK was brilliant at selling at the right time, Howe needs to do the same.

I'd love to know the cost of each of those 16 players Brighton had on the pitch today plus the unused subs. I bet not many cost over £40m each, if any. There's bargains and value to be had out there, we need to be more adventurous in our signings. Not every player needs to have PL experience. Not all RCBs need to cost £65m from a bottom half PL team.

Was holding the bottom of his back a few times on Sunday. Looked in a bit of pain in the second half after one heavy knock.

Bruno's replacement in the medium term.

Yes. We bought ours last week. Not sure if there's any left now. They were selling quite a few though.

2-1 win followed by a 4-1 defeat at Anfield.
