Wasn’t it 7th place or above? it’s quite tight up there. Could go either way. I think they are 4 points off 8th.

I’m not sure if he is taking his responsibilities seriously now the big shot has landed the title winning game.

Archbishop of Banterbury.

Thanks for ruling that out.

To be fair to Ready To Groom, the first couple of pages seemed to condemn the chant.

I think the original idea of PSR was that clubs should be pretty much sustainable on their own. PSR has just happened by chance to benefit the clubs already in a strong position.

Juve only 3 points off 8th place now.

Villa look dangerous. I reckon they’ll beat Forest today as well which will tighten the race up.

When they had their the strongest 11 out last season they were a force but their recruitment has been poor and they’ve had a load of injuries. Archie Gray will no doubt be a good player but he has been awful every time I’ve seen him (which may be a bit harsh as he has been played out of position a lot).

Beresford is a probably the best we’ve had so far (and he wasn’t international class) in my era. Enrique was class for us but tarnished his rep. I can’t think of anyone else. Olivier Bernard was great under Robson. edit: Elliott before his first knee injury was superb as well. He was never the same after that. I think he did it v Leeds.

They used to be able to control games and looked deadly up front. I think they’ve taken a massive confidence hit and don’t seem to be able to pull themselves out of a rut. Son is a shadow of his former self as well.

Does Rob Lee get any credit with the younger generations? In contrast players like Warren Barton (who was absolute shite at best) is a cult hero and often finds his way into Top XI discussions.

Later in his career he changed to a defensive midfielder (and barely scored during that period). I think Robby Bobson also deployed him as a sweeper at one point. He always played well for England as well.

Rob Lee was class by the way. Especially early on in his nufc career.

Which outlet is reporting that?

Rumours today are that Juve are going to offer Douglas Luiz and possibly Vlahovic for him.

I don’t find him frustrating at all. His pros nullify any minor weaknesses.

Makes you think

Wissa might give our old CBs and issue over the top. Schade and Mbeumo are rapid on the wings as well. This will be a tough one.

England u18 player, I think.

If Bellamy was shit he wouldn’t have gotten away with his attitude. The counter argument is that good managers should be able to manage these mavericks better. I hate Dyer more than anything. He seems regretful the way he treated Bobby but he can get fucked as far as I’m concerned.

Yeah. we've hit a massive milestone by winning something this season. It might be subconsciously easy to take the foot off the pedal slightly which wouldn't result in a good run. Whatever happens we can look at this season as being great. I'd love us to get CL but if we don't then im still happy.

Aren't they due to open a Hooters in Newcastle next month? @PaddockLad can confirm.

I can see him being shipped out on loan soon, especially if this Big Mitch Summer you keep banging on about takes place.
