Summed up nicely.

It’s been a rollercoaster of a season but a good one overall. We’ve scored 85 goals in 38 games - an average of over 2.2 goals per game. That’s impressive and evidence that we don’t need an overhaul....

De Zerbi is overrated. He has taken Brighton backwards, albeit only slightly, has he not? He’s got Brighton scoring more goals but has them conceding more too. They’re not as good now as they were...

Don’t like him but he’s an elite manager and will be a loss to the Premier League.

Of the top managers, Eddie Howe’s style is most comparable to Klopp’s but happily Eddie is a lot more likeable...

We had a hard to beat mentality last season whereas this season we’ve been a bit more gung-ho. If we can tweak our system to mix the two, improve our mentality and have more luck with injuries, we’ll...

The difference between our home and away form this season is like night and day. Our home form has been exceptional, gaining 12 wins from 19 games and only suffering 3 defeats. The 4th best record in...

Anthony Gordon summed VAR up perfectly in his post-match interview. The idea of VAR is great, the way the officials are contriving to fu(k it up on a constant basis is the real issue. Absolute...

I don’t think saying Longstaff and Anderson aren’t good enough should be considered as giving them pelters. In my mind it’s a demonstrable fact, more so with Longstaff. I’ve seen nothing but positive...

An 8th place finish seems likely as the players will be deflated going into the weekend. It could be the difference between keeping Bruno or not so I really want to be proven wrong. 7th would be a...

A professional athlete should not be mentally fatigued in the 31st minute of a game. If he was then he should have been nowhere near the starting XI despite injuries to others. He also failed to...

We’d have won today if Wilson had been available from the bench. The game was begging for a 6 yard box poacher - Isak needs to improve on that aspect of his game.

Alas, he was missing again...

A name I recognise from the past, welcome back stanleymag. Best wishes to your grandson too.

I agree with toptoon and Magzer. Wilson is a natural goalscorer. We have to box clever with FFP and selling a proven goalscorer for peanuts - who is going to pay big money for somebody the wrong side...

Darren Eales (Newcastle CEO) on why NUFC may need to sell player(s) in the future to grow:

“If you are churning players you create more headroom. We have seen lots of examples of this elsewhere:...

Isak would be perfect for Arsenal. He’s perfect for us too and the Arse don’t have the resources to sign him. They’re not the force of old, for all they’ve had a resurgence in the last 18 months.

It does seem as though FFP has us hamstrung at the moment. Of all the valuable players we could sell to make some wiggle room in the transfer market, I do think Bruno is the ‘obvious’ one. He has the...

This is why we should be careful with threads like this. Innocent until proven guilty, mackem or not. Can’t even imagine how miserable the last 18 months have been for him after being accused of...

Looking forward to sitting and watching it again at some point this afternoon.

Christ I’m rough today. The game itself was surprisingly easy. We cruised through the game in second gear. I genuinely thought they’d put up more of a fight.

It’s a shame that none of the old mackem posters visit anymore. There were never many of them but I thought that most were good craic. The likes of AndyJ, Linetrash, Ritchie, Staples. I was a...

Howay then, what are we thinking? We have plenty of excuses with injuries, suspensions and fatigue. However, we have a significant class advantage and should win the game. I’m going…

2-0...

Not sure what the problem was with the mackems rightly laying down the red, should i say black and white, carpet when footballing royalty comes to town. Surely they must accept their place in our...

You could certainly argue that we’ve missed ASM. However, the reality is we’ve missed Harvey Barnes a lot more. As others have already mentioned, ASM was electric on his day and a real entertainer....

Personally I think it’s clear that Hall isn’t ready for first team football at left back. He was originally a central midfielder before making his Chelsea debut at left back. I think people tend to...

To be clear, I’m not calling for Eddie to go. I was stating that if we lose our next 3 games he will be under enormous pressure, both from the board and a fair section of the fanbase. I think the...
