pulled my calf playing 5 a side last week. thought nothing of it as i was able to walk around and load bear without too much discomfort so carried on walking to work. fast forward 7 days and i'm hobbling - am now wfh with a comedy inflated calf and ankle with savage bruising. pass the codeine

i don't think you are. time is not being kind to the barnes signing - looks increasingly like an opportunistic signing rather than one the squad needed. but tbf to the club it's a rare one since the takeoever that hasn't worked out

yeah. perhaps not. or they have rolled the dice on a smaller squad getting through until the end of the season. with this being newcastle, this sort of injury/suspension crisis at a crucial moment in the season should have always been priced in. good things don't happen to us

aye, exactly. cue gemill wading in to tell us off for questioning the decisions made by the club's directors.

i have no issue with them selling kelly and miggy to comply with psr - we got good fees for two squad players. but why not bring in a couple of loans to plug the gaps? villa did it and are reaping the rewards.

they were shit last night, but that might be partially because psg were so good. on that evidence psg would storm the "great league in the world™"

nor would he come here without champions league football. that ship has sailed. psr means we need to sign players on their way up, not established CL players from the likes of barca. our summer window hinges on 5 o'clock shadow man identifying some gems

Actually, I heard he is out for the final but the knee surgery bit is news. Who is reporting that? This is just unbelievably bad luck, to lose three crucial first team players the week before the final.

I guess we can’t rule anything out

Though I know this will bruise his ego and he loves a vendetta so who the fuck knows

Their keeper has been superb tbf. Made a few class saves

The last time a Supreme Court justice was impeached was the early 1800s. I mean, I guess it possible but it would be batshit even by his standards and I don’t know how he would engineer it. It’s already a republican-dominated SC so probably not top of his in tray

Absolute smash and grab raid that

PSG have had 25 shots to Liverpool’s one

got to wait for one of them to die though.

It’ll probably be Joelinton or Willock 😬

Good news for the half time receipts at the bar

Liverpool chasing shadows against PSG, having to do loads of work off the ball because they’re seeing nowt of it

Apparently Botman won’t make the final. Maybe let’s forfeit

I wasn’t happy going into the season with Miggy and Murphy as our two RW options. I assumed Gordon or Barnes would fill the void. Neither have been willing or able to do so. So we’re going into a cup final depending on Jacob Murphy, one of the squad’s longest serving players, providing the quality we need from that position. Good luck with that, everyone

It’s a pointless argument either way. Both positions needed to be strengthened. Only CB was strengthened in the summer. Our pitiful RW options were weakened even further in january when we sold Miggy. RW remains the solitary area of the squad that hasn’t been improved since the takeover.

This came before the Guehi fiasco https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11095/13152596/michael-olise-chelsea-and-newcastle-approach-crystal-palace-about-signing-winger

Not getting into it again btw You were the one who went fishing for bites

the point is we had numbers and some quality in that position at the start of the season. At RW we had Miggy and Murphy. Now we have only murphy.
