This is the last thing we needed. 

If we get two vans out of this, might not be too bad.

We could be men... with ven.

There was a white BMW heading towards Ewood tonight registered in the Netherlands.

Thought it might have been a player coming for talks but could well have been JDTs car

JDT's car is registered in the Netherlands?? 🤔

Hartlepool's manager is called Paul Hartley?

I do like a bit of nominative determinism. 

Almost as good as Wolfgang Wolf of Wolfsburg

I think Newcastle are trying to play to the gallery with their summer business.  They know they are highly unpopular with other supporters especially considering their owner's less than scrupulous history.  Had they been owned by anyone other than some oil rich Arabs they would have splashed the cash on more glamorous names

Think it's more to do with Financial Fair Play to be fair, they're on a limited budget and can't afford the outlay on lots of big names

Might be a blessing in disguise if it pushes the club to invest in one JPVH (one can dream...)

Im sorry but Dack hasnt been the same since the injuries. Stunk the place up on his latest return. It isn't about the player he was but the player he is.

Rubbish, we've barely seen him play. Give him a chance at least, arguably best player in the league on his day.

Ha, forgot about that one 😂 (I meant the one before that!)

A kid on loan from Liverpool. That's about the best that Broughton can do. Shouldn't come as a surprise.

The last kid we had on loan from Liverpool wasn't all that bad, as I recall.

Right lads for some reason Tomasson has followed me back on insta… who am I recommending us to sign 😂
 

(yes it’s his official account) 

Chloe Kelly!

I'd be interested to know goals scored vs crosses made this season, piss poor from Mowbray

We are not punching above our weight!

Okay, by what metric then? History of the club?

Are the owners paying enough attention to know we are currently chasing promotion? 

I think the £10m bonus for the team if they go up, probably tells you they are.


Honestly why do people think it's that easy to get players to sign a new contract - we're an unfashionable club in an unfashionable area punching above our weight in a precarious financial position who can't afford to offer top wages to most of our players and are trying to run things on a shoestring.

Funny how that £7m Mowbray “wasted” on Brereton seems to have been conveniently forgotten. Now it’s tie him to a long term deal , he’s worth more than AA. 
Just maybe he was bought as a 20 year old kid with potential, and that potential is starting to be realised. 

He's scored one goal on the bigger stage. I think it might just be a touch premature to say, "his potential is starting to be realised" and we need to tie him down NOW to be honest.

Unfortunately you are comparing apples with pears. They have a world class Manager and top quality players. We have a journeyman Manager and bang average players. 😤😤😤

I disagree with the last part, on the whole we very much have above average players and with the right manager could've actually done something this season. Now any quality in that squad appears to be about to evaporate, and the journeyman manager appears, for once, to be going nowhere.

I would say our centreback options aren't that bad. Tomori is playing regularly for Milan. Gomez might be back.  Stones is superb.  Konsa is doing well at villa.

Tomori definitely at the moment. I can't help thinking Gomez, Stones and, to a lesser degree, Konsa look better because of the players around them.

Shame really as a couple of decent centrebacks and we could go into the tournament quite confident, but you'd have to say it's going to be a bit unpredictable.

 I don't know why Wan-Bissaka has never been tried as a right centre back. It's so infuriating that we have a player who's so defensively sound (when England are lacking good defensive players and who clearly isn't an attacking full back), and we might lose him to the DR Congo team because he won't even get in the squad with the embarassment of talent we have at right back already.

Seems obvious, but that's not the way football works (as we well know).

Elliott though, what a player, some genuinely Pirloesque passes in that game

I don’t know why any of us, including me, seem slightly surprised, as we’ve seen this script a hundred times it would seem under Mowbray.

We simply won’t get in the top six under the bloke.

Completely agree, just doesn't have the tactical nous.

Elliot looking sensational every time he's on the ball, Ayala looking shaky, Armstrong selfish
