I don't imagine him sitting out the last month was his decision entirely. It was a decision that worked for both parties in that the club were also likely to be reluctant to play him in order to not jeopardise the imminent £70m transfer that everyone knew was going to happen once the season ended.

60-80m? In this market Tonali is clearly a £100m midfielder. Arsenal, Man City and Man U would all be in a bidding war for him so there's no way he goes for less than £85m in my opinion

Headline should read "sad Mackem bastard throws shade at Newcastle United"

Is Champions League back on for us? 😅

Unbelievable shift from Gordon today! His running stats must of been off the chart

Biggest red flag is teammates are clearly ignoring him even when he's in space and good positions. I just don't think he suits the tempo of the prem.

Was great tonight 👍

Their songbook hasn't changed since 1999. Embarrassing

Peter Bankes can fuck off. I feel like a conspiracy nut complaining about refs every week but I swear this season has been particularly bad when it's come to officiating of nufc matches. Added time in 1st half? A red card for 1 foul and a non dive? ludicrous

I agree. I think premier League teams should be banned from the conference league tbh. Wouldn't surprise me if Chelsea's budget was equal if not more than the other 35 teams out together the season they won it.

I'm a proud happy clapper but even I can't see how we get a result here tbh. Winning 3 matches in a row should help with the tired legs but this surely is a defeat once again. I'm just hoping we put in a spirited performance and keep the score respectable. A run of 5 home matches after this thankfully.

If it works then I'm not complaining. By the same logic was Joelinton stinky business?

He's been great in the last 4 games in his new role. Don't understand the hate at all

Fletcher on commentary is terrible. The sound of his voice just grates on my nerves.

This prick is unbelievable. - Contributes fuck all in income tax to the country - Fucks off to Monaco while promoting Brexit - Accepts tens of millions of pounds of UK state aid for his companies - Shamelessly pleads poverty in order to sack Manchester United workers and send them onto benefits. First class dickhead. It's abundantly clear that Reform is just a billionaires wet dream that will be used to trample on the working class.

Did you not watch Isak second half of last season?

I've come to terms with the disappointment of Saturday now and feel we should back Eddie more than ever. The fact is we've been spoiled over the last four seasons, been punching far above our weight, and now fans expect us to get CL football every season which is simply not realistic within the economic reality the cub has to operate within. Paul Mitchell deciding to leave a day before the window opened started this nightmare. People seem to be quick to forget how amazing our recruitment has been under Howe before this summer, and I'm not buying the argument that Howe (who'd recently just recovered from pneumonia) wanted to play Sporting Director over the summer. I find it absurd that anyone that wants to back a manger who has a large body of work at the club is now a delusional "happy clapper". Be very careful what you wish for I say (see the sacking of Poch at Spurs for example)

True Geordie and his pal from The Toon Review are clearly eager to jump on the EddieOut bandwagon as it's great for click$ and engagement. I find the lads from Gallowgate Shots to be much more level headed and reflective of the average fan. Probably not great as a podcast business model but I find their Monday show to be a great listen

I think he'd suit Serie A really well. I hope he turns it around here. Looked at lot better on Saturday occupying a number 10 position

If someone is willing to pay £100m and he wants away then it's a deal we should make quickly. Preferably not to Man U though 🤮 We need to start becoming a good selling club if we're to start closing the gap with the top. £100m would go a long way in repairing the terrible business we did in the summer.

Hahaha brilliant. Virgil van Dijk is a right dickhead, always bullying refs, it's disgusting. Terrible terrible loser

How in god's name are they going to integrate Isak into this team? They don't need the rat at all. No way they can bench Ektike, and I don't think he'd be happy to be shoehorned onto the left to allow Isak to play through the middle. They'll be forced to play Isak though the middle simply because they were stupid enough to spunk £130m on him.

I wonder if we'll ever find out what happened on Liverpool's end during the summer window. If their stance earlier on in the window was genuinely "give us Isak and we won't hijack the Ekitike deal" then we've seriously fucked up. Ektike looks amazing if not better than Isak. Meanwhile we have Nick W who can't press or run on the shoulder of a defender. Need to get another young striker in the summer again.

The gap between us and Manure is now 11 points. Fucking hell

Fuck off Ben Jacobs. Clearly a client journalist getting paid to unsettle players in return for information from cartel clubs. If Bruno G left for Manure I'd be done with football
