Murphy is ok for the squad, like Longstaff I feel they both need to be playing at 110% just to keep up with the first team, when they both dip they both look very average and become the weak links imo. I'd probably keep Murphy over Almiron this summer but that RW definitely needs a proper upgrade. L...

Burn was completely found out this year and it's been clear to see in many games, last season is last season, we can only judge the now and he was getting shredded almost weekly at LB. I don't agree on the Joelinton injury for the pressing issues and protecting the back, I think since the beginning ...

I'm not saying that they should all be allowed to just bet on whatever they want but I think it does need some perspective. The whole thing is still a bit of a mess and not fit for purpose. I think this latest Tonali thing has been handled perfectly by the independent panel. They have looked at it a...

Hoping we can finally put a bit of consistency together for this run in, if Spurs and Man Utd s*** their pants there's a chance of 5th if we can put the results in that we know we are capable of. The amount of goals we have put up this season is amazing, it's just been let down by some utter s**** a...

I don't really buy into that argument, one bet even if it's 10k or whatever is barely going to change odds when in the grand scheme it's going to be nothing in terms of the volume of bets during the week/weekend. I think the influence these individual bets make is vastly overstated here. Definitely...

Lucky boy, As mentioned before match fixing isn't the only issue it's influencing the market I don't really buy into that argument, one bet even if it's 10k or whatever is barely going to change odds when in the grand scheme it's going to be nothing in terms of the volume of bets during the week/we...

It's not the length really that's weird to me, I just thought it would have made sense to ban in Italy and for a ban hearing to be held separately to enforce a PL/FA ban. The whole betting thing is bizarre in football though considering the well covered argument of how the sport is rife with bettin...

https://twitter.com/NUFC/status/1786032972824498499?t=oJnu7rdUNNufDoYZtsBJ7w&s=19 In short no ban extension <diva> Good to know he just admitted these charges without any evidence that he had breached whilst in England. Brave an honest decision, would have been so easy to keep quiet about it. Hopefu...

Will still probably get judged on Hazard though

First impressions last a lifetime

Funniest thing is at the time someone guessed he was talking about Yoshinori Muto, then we went and actually signed Muto a few weeks later

Lots of talk about Tosin today, some in the local press claiming we are very close to agreeing a deal.

Seems like it would be a massive project, not from the area so don't know the ins and outs of Leazes park and why it can't be on there. Is it possible it moves onto that land and then the park gets extended onto where the ground is now?

Chelsea are already knackered though aren't they by being already well past the UEFA thresholds, so holding other clubs back might benefit them? To be honest I'm not reading anything into this until details start coming through and clubs actually act on it. For all we know the threshold could be 20...

That's f***ing ridiculous if that's true. Jesus. I think he was on decent money at Villa and when we signed him he got a pay rise. Always felt the Targett one was a bit of a weird one, he did great on the loan spell but i never thought he was a must buy for us, was always one that would be immediat...

In related news, PL clubs voted in favour of an anchored finance cap for the 25/26 season (finer details to be ironed out in june) This rule would see an overall spending cap at 4x the tv revenue if the bottom placed team the previous season. In context of us it would have ment this season we would ...

Dubravka is a decent GK but I don't think he will ever fit into the style of play we want, he's just a shot stopper and one that has seen better days. Ideally want a back up GK who can play that sweeper keeper role, Pope is still one of the best at that in the league in terms of stats from last seas...

Been looking at the squad and I think it's possible we can still have a good summer of recruitment and we can still keep our best players. I think the key would be for us to try to get out as many of the fringe players and those who imo are not needed. Outs: Almiron (£20m) Wilson (£15m) Longstaff (£...

Murphy and Longstaff shouldn't start a single game next season unless it's the league cup or an injury crisis. I struggle to think of anyone in the top 15 of the PL that would have them as regular starters. Also probably an unpopular opinion but I think Anderson won't ever offer much more for us, I ...

Isak is a killer

Can't wait to see the back of Longstaff, Atrocious footballer.
