Murphy and Miggy were more than good enough.

krafth. i'd start him ahead of schar in current form

i tried but the only option was a corporate ticket with a lad i know who supports liverpool, who will be insufferable if they win. tickets in our end are like hen's teeth. i'm going to west ham on monday. don't fancy our chances in that one because they're bound to all have an eye on the final

While we’re clutching for positives, we are now even bigger underdogs than we already were and we usually perform better when we’re underdogs. Maybe it takes the pressure off and allows them to play with more freedom and aggression given no one expects us to win.

Our first choice left flank out for the final. As if we didn’t already have a tough enough job to beat Liverpool. The most Newcastly outcome imaginable. Just need Isak to do his hamstring against west ham now

No, never. You’ll see player plus cash deal occasionally but I don’t recall a multiple player swap ever happening.

I’ve never known another club to attract such comedy misfortune at times of need

If true, we must be cursed man

Hall rumoured to have fractured his ankle

the only argument better than I’m right, you’re wrong: I was first

i think that’s the direction of travel tbh. Trump hasn’t attempted to pretend which side he’s on, backing Russia at the UN, parroting Russian propaganda, calling Zelenskyy a dictator etc

not much was agreed at the UK summit other than a nice group photo on the steps of Lancaster House

i think he's gambling on the minerals deal giving trump and economic interest in the country and an incentive to not want to see it levelled by Russia. not much of a guarantee, but he's been backed into a corner. so much for europe's coalition of the willing

it clearly won't contain any security guarantees.

Russia have basically got four years now to do whatever the fuck they want

Zelenskky has caved

all trump cares about is money tbh, so don't rule that out either

Aye exactly. The business he cared about did alright

It’s a strange one in hindsight. One of those opportunistic signings, I suppose, in the sense that a player became available and the recruitment team liked him rather than him being the player in an area of the squad that actually needed to be improved. The problem with that strategy is we we were then prevented from strengthening the areas that needed improvement by PSR.

Everybody needs an editor. You’d be amazed if I showed you some of the raw copy I’ve received over the years. Lee Ryder is apparently a journalist and my nine year old can write better than him.

when everyone is fit we have plenty of depth at CB - we literality have one player who seems comfortable at RW and he was signed by rafa

barnes has been such an underwhelming signing. one of the few transfer since the takeover to disappoint. he's got a massive opportunity these next few games now gordon is out and i hope he takes it. he must think he has a point to prove and has the chance to become a club legend in the final

no, you're right. our single RW Jacob Murphy doesn't need to be upgraded and definitely hasn't reverted to type after his purple patch
