  1. Not sure it obviously makes sense for a tournament winner to get access to the competition above it. I think it makes more sense for the winner to gain access to the same competition in order to defend their title without having to re-qualify. Also for the CL, there is no tournament above it, so the CL winner has to just get access to the CL again, and then the Europa winner does too, it's kind of asymmetrical.
  2. Even a loss can be enough if Villa lose to Man U.
  3. Hopefully this is a bit of Eddie Howe misdirection.
  4. He can work 6 months there, get another massive payoff and then move to the MLS or Saudi FA!
  5. The points predictions are averages of running thousands of simulations. So if Villa have a higher projected GD than Chelsea it just means that over the thousands of simulations, the average points total was higher. GD doesn't come into it at all. For the NUFC Arsenal game, they're assuming we'll get about 1 point on average (based on their projected probability of us winning, drawing or losing).
  6. Because until we're actually CL secure, I want every team that can still finish above us to lose.

    Nick Pope

    I don't think it's a given he'll be replaced, and we'll more likely than not see him as our starting keeper next season.
  8. Much rather Spurs, want Man U buried.
  9. Never really understood why they rated him to begin with.

    I was thinking the same thing especially last year when we were short CMs and starting Miley every game. Even if he's total crap, it's more useful than carrying a 5th keeper on the squad. You could at least imagine a possibility where we sell Longstaff, and maybe Willock and Bruno get injured and you might want him there just for bench cover.
  11. Earn his way back into the team.
  12. Of course we want Man U to win. They're no threat to us and we can still finish above Forest.

    Garang Kuol

    He's starting today!
  14. Yeah, I didn't see the logic of leaving Hayden out of the squad in favor of a 5th keeper. Even if he's basically crap, you'd think a backup DM would be more useful and there are times when you might have him on the bench depending on injuries and suspensions. Whereas there is truly no point in carrying 5 keepers on the 25-man squad.
  15. Good with his feet today but he didn't have to make one single save, let's not get carried away.
  16. No CBs on the bench (Alex Murphy I guess would be the only possibility?)

    Hayden had an assist for Jamaica today and played the whole match.

    Why couldn't we loan him out and split the wages with the loanee team? Even splitting it unevenly, it would be better than us paying him the full amount to do nothing as we are now.

    He's played in at least one recent game for the under-21s. https://www.newcastleunited.com/en/news/halifax-town-1-newcastle-united-under-21s-2
