Newcastle 1 - 1 Brighton (Gross)

Stoke 1 - 2 Newcastle (Atsu)

We look so so so much better when Shelvey and Merino are both on the pitch together yet it just never seems to happen.

He's got the touch of a brick wall.

However he has managed to be a bit in the way all game, also much like a brick wall.

There's never been a more negative approach in world football ever, at least as far as Gary Neville's concerned.

Happy enough with that so far. This is one of this shittest quality teams we've ever had against one of the best teams this league has seen (so far) and we're doing alright.

Watching Diame chase the ball is like watching a dog chase a car having no idea what it would do if it caught it.

Last time we beat them we had Aarons in the team

Danilo looks like he's about 45

How the **** did I end up top 6 in our table after my abysmal start

Will take the mid table mediocrity and make a push for the top 6 overall next year

Cheers for doing this by the way Tommy!

Newcastle 0 - 2 Man City (Yedlin OG)

Just on this point, he didn't have £5m to sign a striker, he had £5m left for a striker after signing a centre back (when we had 3/4 decent centre backs) and spending £12m on a winger that was wholly intended for the future. That's an issue of prioritisation more than anything else, nothing against...

Who said anything about not being able to discuss his faults? I'm as vocal as anyone on some of his tactical decisions. But the recent question marks over recruitment are actually going beyond ridiculous, it's almost as if people have forgotten we have an owner who tries to operate on a shoestring ...

So Sky Sports reporting that the relegation drop clause hasn't been withdraw from the improved offer... and Ashley doesn't like it. He's gonna **** up this deal isn't he <urgh> It's his property. Imagine someone buying your house and them asking for you to take £30k off the price if it floods.. Usi...

Shelvey and Merino start together and then it all gets ruined with Diame starting too Guess we'll just wait and see what happens...

GK - Bernd Leno - £14.4m RB - Sime Vrsjalko - £14.4m CB - Ciaran Clark CB - Jamaal Lascelles LB - Jordan Amavi - £9m CDM - Fabinho - £22.5m CAM - Mikel Merino CM - Charles Aranguiz - £7.2m RAM - Matt Ritchie/Cristian Atsu LAM - Lorenzo Insigne - £36m ST - Bas Dost - £14.4m 117.9m. Sort of a 4-3-3/4-...

The thing is, yeah maybe the players aren't that good, but it's hardly a great confidence booster for them to hear that being said in every post game interview by the man who's supposed to be inspiring them to play out of their skin for the club. Sure we haven't had sufficient investment but it's j...
