Thats can just be a method of extracting a higher fee though if the player wants to leave? You might be right about his press tbf. Can be taught though…

He wouldn’t cross it with his left on at least two occasions v West Ham. Less than a week later he’s put a ball in that Murphy won in the air for Isak to smash into the net in the cup final. IYAM that’s the result of Mad Dog drilling the shit out of him at Benton for three days

For those who think Mbeumo is out of our reach, I think there’s a good chance he’s leaving this summer due to his contract running out in a years time …. If we get CL we may be able to tempt him… https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bryan-mbeumo/profil/spieler/413039

In the future it will be acclaimed that Howe and Livramento killed the inverted winger stone fuckin dead in the 2025 league cup final I think we’ll see teams playing full backs on their opposite sides next season

Hang on, what about hot bitch summer?… am just making sure you’re not cry arseing on September 1st. Gloom is setting himself up for a fall by going all in on a RWer. Think about it as bandwidth saving for the summer. No need to thank me

Agreed. But I really can’t see us getting everything we need in one window. Everyone wants to identify what we need but no fucker is talking about money

Ok. So that’s a 6-12 month project minimum to get up to speed given Howe’s legendary reticence in throwing young players in straight away. I hope we’re all happy with that as an “upgrade” because the way it’s talked about sometimes I think people’s expectations are a bit high. I think we certainly could get Mbueno if we’re in the champions league. That’s the pivot upon which the summer hinges… I think we’ll do it

How much will we need to spend on Murphy’s direct replacement? No one’s putting a figure on anything here so we’re still pissing about playing fuckin computer simulations. Am saying north of 55 million. And what knock on does that have on other priorities?…

That’ll be here then https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/hmp-the-verne-prison.html?sortBy=relevant

People need to think about the level Murphy is playing at this season and then they need to see where he sits among the whole of Europe in goal involvements. In this division only Salah and Isak sit above him. Now go and think how much a direct replacement might cost. He’s one of the best players in Europe in his position this season and he needs to be replaced with very similar quality. Not sure if Mitchell is known for utilising the loan market to any great extent but I look at Asensio at Villa and I think he’s been a good signing. Champions league would help with that, so does Spanish manager too I suppose..

Yeah I looked at the years so assumed he was there. Point remains, he can say “well look at who I played for after Newcastle”… if he says he played his best football at either of them who are we to say? Playing for these clubs after us allows him to say he moved on to bigger clubs, in the case of Man City at the time that’s questionable but their subsequent success allows the point in his head. It was the first thing the presenter put to him last night “you played you best football at NUFC” and he only partially agreed. So what tbh.

He was there in 2011, they won the title in 2011….but you’re right they might have let him go, am not sure…

Brilliant player, made a huge difference to the entire team. But as we said last week, he’s a fuckin cunt. You don’t need to know anything more that about why he’s a bit iffy about us. I couldn’t give a fuck if he kisses our arses on the TV tbh. He’s a fuckin narcissist and as such will never, ever make it as a manager to any great extent…

He played for Liverpool in a CL final and was at Man City when they won their first title under Pelligrini so it’s easy for him to be a bit meh about Newcastle especially given the circumstances of his exit… there was a lot of football still in him…

Yeah Palace’s start was abysmal but they’ve come into form at the same time as they did last season. Very good away record, but there again Brentford were the same… basically win our home games and a 2 points from Villa/Brighton/Arsenal and we’re there I think we’re there…

Palace might be the hardest game of the run in. It was last season (we should’ve twatted Man Utd too tbf) If we win both our next home games v those same teams by the time we get to Chelsea it could be all over bar the shouting…not sure if there’s been too many champions league places decided by goal difference over the years but looking forward to be proved wrong by some smart arse in front of a screen with too much time on their hands

Hope with the stats that matter ✊🏻☺️

You’re painting a beautiful picture there Anyone else’s missus being forced to watch this instead of the idiotic Australian marriage thing? ps well in Harvey

Fuckin hell

it gets worse…ex Leicester City legend Alan fuckin Smith on co comms 🤮

He can’t disguise the contempt he holds other clubs in the sneering bastard…

Gordon fails to make bench
