The reason the defence looks so bad is because we can’t keep possession in midfield and carry no attacking threat up front, so we just invite constant pressure.

We are absolutely toothless and if it wasn’t for Wolves missing a hatful of chances the score line could have been far far worse. Embarrassing!!

Excluding our own, there are some nice kits this year ... Chelsea home, City away, Watford home

And some pretty awful ones ... United away, Arsenal home

is Brady playing?

Farah running in the Great North Run with “Sir Mo” plastered across his front. Brilliant athlete, but this just makes me cringe!!

I can’t remember the circumstances of his departure, whether we didn’t offer him a good enough contract or he was just allowed to leave, but either way I thought it was a mistake to allow him to go. Although he blew hot and cold, when he performed he was Premier League quality, as he has gone on to ...

Not sure why people think he would be refusing to play. He was enjoying his football here up to his injury, which was unfortunate. If he'd have recovered properly from the injury then no doubt we would have been playing him as he is our best midfielder by some distance and, presumably, he would want...

One more Twix sake and our transfer window would have been sooooo different

kaptin1

Problem was that we were sat far too deep, particularly in the first half. Even when we did win possession and got the ball wide, Wood was isolated in the box and there was no one one the edge of the box to pick up knock downs.

Starting McNeil would be a brave call. The kid will have been mentally knackered after Thursday’s match.

Off to Ipswich on loan

Ward getting subbed a lot this year having rarely been subbed in the past. Clearly something not right with his fitness or performances.

Would have been nice if we could have carried some of those points over from last season!!

kaptin1

We really miss Defour and Brady. They were key to our success in the first half of last season. Once they got injured our form dropped off significantly.

He’s either very quick or the Bundesliga has some of the slowest defenders on the planet.

Wasn’t JBG suffering from a stomach bug earlier in the week. Hence his poor display and early substitution in Istanbul?

kaptin1

The Defour situation is a real concern. Without a proper preseason he struggles with fitness. Even when over his injury I think it will take a while before he can get back to the performance levels we saw in the first half of last season when he was instrumental in our strong run. Once he got his in...

Didn’t Newcastle lose 2 or 3 of their first four matches when they last got relegated only to then finish Champions?

Can depend on your broadband speed. I used to have Sky on SD and the picture quality was awful until I upgraded to faster fibre and then it was fine. Admittedly not as good as HD, but perfectly watchable.

This is an exciting signing of it goes through. Top quality player, at a decent price with scope to develop further. Preferable to either Dawson or Mawson in my view.

kaptin1

I presume he was probably asked to stay with them for a year to see if they could get promoted back to the Prem and, if not, then he would be allowed to leave. I would actually be quite excited by this signing if we could pull it off ... still fairly young, scope to improve and potentially make us s...

Apparently Pulis not ruling out him leaving. I suspect a deal is likely to get done, hopefully with us.

Stick Aaron Lennon in goal!

If Ben Mee leaves then we need to replace him with a LEFT sided centre back We would also need another centre back who could be right sided like Craig Dawson Why, plenty of right footers play successfully at LCB? Indeed, didn’t England actually play five right footed players across the back in the ...

Why not make clubs hold cash on their balance sheets equivalent to, say, half of the contractual wages outstanding. So if you sign a player on a five year deal at £100k per week you would have to also set aside £13m as a contingency for if you get into difficulty. It would have a gearing effect as t...

Its difficult to see how we can improve on what we have achieved so far. I suspect 7th in the Prem is as good as is gets. Maybe we can have a good cup run, but with the priority always on maintaining Prem status, that seems unlikely. So, with this in mind, maybe Ben feels it’s better to seek a fresh...

People on here show their ignorance when they say he is crap. He helped get Newcastle up with a blistering season. Ask Brendan Rodgers if he is crap-he was one of several reasons why Liverpool lost the title a few years ago. They were coasting against Palace and virtually title winners and he got t...

Why not, Keane went for the same amount and Mawson seems to be similarly rated? We can’t expect to pay bottom dollar for players we want to buy when we expect top dollar for similar ones we sell.

All 5 except Lindegard and Vokes who I’d give an 8

That’s the problem. Without Defour we really lack someone who can unlock a defence, which means we become more reliant on long balls and set pieces to create chances.
