Regardless of the money Eddie Howe is doing a fantastic job. Think that often gets lost. We haven't spent half as much as people expected us. The work he's done with the likes of Joelinton, Almiron, Longstaff, Lascelles... unbelievable. 2 of them had one foot out of the door, and Joelinton was a £4...

Couldnt have happend to a better side Aye, much better that PSG benefit from a dodgy decision. I was ragin about the penalty last night, but I'm more sanguine now. 2 years ago we were scraping a 1-1 draw with Norwich, now we're disappointed to have a win robbed off us at Mbappe's PSG. And to get th...

We are staying overnight so will be looking for somewhere to eat Saturday evening. Any recommendations gratefully received Loads of options, Newcastle has really improved in the last 5-10 years on this front. If you're after something special, House of Tides or Broad Chare have amazing food but are...

Ah ****, you're right. That's a kick in the clems and no mistake.

You could try Wobbly Duck, or Beer Street. Head of Steam is an old favourite too.

The Split Chimp on Westgate Road? It's still open. There's one on the coast in Whitley Bay too.

Newcastle fan here; There's 100+ within walking distance of the stadium. Mile Castle is good for big groups You could get a crawl going if you try Town Wall, The Forth, Tilleys, Rosies, obviously the Strawberry, (but you'd have to get there early). Anyone needing restaurant recommendations let me kn...

Got to say I'm really happy with the deal. £10-12m for an England international 'keeper, who's better with the ball at his feet than our current number 1, and who has a good reputation as a character too? Really good bit of business. To be honest, the only bit of business that hasn't appeared really...

TheFish

That’s a risk, I get that. But when you consider his stats in the PL, we’re talking one of the worlds best keepers here & I think that would ultimately attract others from across world football. If you’re Pope though, would you be so happy about going to a club that only want you on the cheap? Or t...

Footballers used to score a goal and turn around and walk back to the centre circle. His team mates nearby would come and shake his hand. The way to stop all this could be, as soon the the team who have conceded get the ball back to the centre circle they can kick off, regardless of where the playe...

TheFish

I don't know why you are even thinking about Weghorst, Wilson or Wood. You have billions, shouldn't you be looking at players like Mbappe? Then planning on how many to execute next week. Tell me do they hang them or behead them? We need to improve the striker situation, Wilson is great but injury p...

TheFish

Thank you. I thought I was going mad. That clip does not show what happened. I don't know why. I am not used to sitting so close to the goals, but I did find his behaviour inciting. Smiling/grinning, finger to mouth etc. Given what's happened with pitch invasions, for this match, players should hav...

TheFish

They have players of his quality on the field and players of Woods quality on the bench. We have players like Wood starting every game possible. Not enough quality, although Wilson will always struggle to make it in a top team because he's injury prone. How has Weghorst worked out for you? We were ...

When he scored the penalty thats certainly where he headed, I was sat there, he was in front of me!

Every replay I've seen he punches the air, salutes (as he always does), is mobbed by his teammates, then walks back to the centre circle.

It's not like he was Adebayor-ing it man.

TheFish

Good, best thing you've said all morning. I don't know what you were expecting the morning after a relegation? You're probably right, I didn't see anything wrong with the way Wilson celebrated, but I guess anything above meekly and mutely walking back to the centre circle would be seen as inciting....

I'm genuinely not on the wind up or owt. Think some of you are getting wound up, so I'll leave it be.

Genuinely hope next season is brighter and you're back in the top flight soon.

If we want a Newcastle fan's opinion we will ask for it. There were quite a few disrespectful actions from your players yesterday. I did fear what would happen to them if there was a pitch invasion. Anyhow, enjoy your blood money. How many executions next week? What disrespectful actions? Genuinely...

How have you managed to get that so wrong.

Foggy recollection of something that happened yesterday which was quite boozy.

TheFish

Just rewatched the highlights. He punches the air, salutes (as he always does after every goal) and then waves away the abuse from the fans, he's not even grinning. He certainly doesn't run up to your fans. The way you were going on I was expecting flicking the V's or whatever. But honestly... it's ...

Getting the sense this thread is very much misdirected anger, lads.

TheFish

Sorry that some of your lot had to put up with that from some of our lot. Unfortunately there's a lot of wannabe hardmen amongst the young lads (and some people who are old enough to know better) who follow their teams across the country. Safe to say if they weren't safe in their big group, or behin...

TheFish

From what I saw he was celebrating with the Newcastle fans. Wilson isn't the type to give it large to the crowd, unless they were giving him ****.

TheFish

As a Newcastle fan there's a few things at play; 1. We see each other as among that group of clubs that are kind of 'best of the rest' in terms of the endlessly tedious Big Club debate. And as such we're suddenly rivals (same with Spurs, Villa etc.) 2. They think we've an inflated sense of our own i...

TheFish

As a Newcastle fan, can I just apologise on behalf of the team for not holding on for a few more seconds to deny them that win. I want Everton gone for a few reasons; 1. The right manager would have them midtable and that's surely where we're aiming next season. 2. It would stop them having that "Ne...

TheFish

He has generally. He might be a Geordie but the Newcastle fans were never going to accept him given he’d already managed down the road at Sunderland. If I’ve counted correctly, I think this is his 11th club. That's not why we never took to him. He had the worst PL win percentage of any manager (who...

TheFish

I prefer the team playing regular and in a routine. We don't change tactics that often so games have to be more worthwhile than training. The rest didn't do us any good either. Makes sense. I guess it also means that should you stumble in one game, another one will be along to pick yourselves up so...

How do you feel the extra load of those postponed games will be born by your squad?
When is Cornet back for you?

TheFish

So you are writing Wood off after one game despite what you stated earlier. Problem is you are really worried that a 'minnow' like Burnley might get under your feet and spoil your big plans. Coming on here 'shouting the odds' as though none of us have any idea of the dire position we are in. Sign e...

Would that be the two postponements this week against Leicester and Watford which were both at Burnley's request because of Covid. I seem to recall that Newcastle, with their far superior squad members, were responsible for calling off games against Everton and Southampton ----so it would appear th...

TheFish

Isn't Wilson becoming a bit unreliable with his injuries? He's always been a bit brittle. That's why we signed Wood. We're apparently after Zapata, Etikite, Dembele, Aubameyang, Nunez, Solanke, Dzeko, Brereton-Diaz, Alvarez, Azmoun, Nketiah, Barbosa, Cabral, Origi, Martial, Dieng, Morelos, Isak, Ok...

TheFish

How much does he weaken us? If we get Carroll it would be like for like (+25m). I don’t think, over last 12 months, he’s quite good enough to describe him as an “average Pl striker”, bar perhaps Norwich and Everton, can you think of any other team where he would be first choice striker? We had Carr...

TheFish

I think you're wrong when you said it weakens us, we were doomed with Wood upfront. All you have done is given us a sizeable chunk of cash for a player so out of form he was hindering us and helping you long before he put on the black and white shirt. That signing could seriously bite you on the ar...

TheFish

Newcastle fan here, pretty happy with the signing to be honest. £25m is the going rate for an average Premier League striker and Chris Wood is an average Premier League striker. Anyone writing him off after 1 game is an idiot. Anyone thinking he's going to fire us up the league, is an idiot. What th...

Ooof. That bad? I know nothing about the goings on with your owners. What's the top line?

He is an average PL striker but he's an average PL striker having a very poor season. The likelihood is that new surroundings, a fresh challenge etc will see an improvement in his form (I really hope not) but if he continues the season as it has gone so far, you're going to be very disappointed.

As a Newcastle fan I'm very happy with this deal. Wood is an average Premier League striker and that's a huge improvement on what we've got. Wilson is class, but injury prone. Gayle was a Championship striker at his peak, but he's past that stage now. And that's your lot. Hopefully Trippier and Fras...

Well safe to say we weren't in it until the subs came on. Against Spurs we pressed high up the pitch, we peppered their box with crosses and didn't let them settle. Against you we should have pressed high up the pitch, played the ball on the deck into the box and stop the ball getting to Vydra (who ...

It's interesting to look at what has happened to clubs who became fan owned. Bournemouth have done pretty well since being bought by the fans, obviously that's due to the new ownership but of course fans are much more concerned about the long term. Portsmouth were fan owned from 2013 to 2017, they ...

Option C most likely. All the recent major takeovers by the big hitters have cut the fans out entirely. It would then just be a paper exercise. As for option B how long would the capital be held before reverting to option C? Oh definitely option C is the most likely. Quotes from the Trust suggest t...

Dunno if you've heard but the Newcastle Supporters Trust has launched a scheme to have Newcastle fans invest whatever they feel comfortable with into a trust fund. The fund is there to a) buy a stake in the club if the opportunity arises, b) buy out the club should we tumble down the leagues and nee...

Honestly? No. Newcastle were everybody's favourite team because Keegan lead an expensively assembled side on an unsustainable whirlwind from the bottom of the 2nd tier, to the very summit of the top flight, all the while playing some ridiculous football. But that was when it wasn't a closed shop. Ev...

Why would they need to win by 4? Fulham's goal difference is better than yours. If you look at the form table over the last 8 games, Brighton have 8, Newcastle have 7 points, Fulham have 11 (but just 7 games left, 10 points from their last 7). If they all continue on current form the table ends: Bu...

That’s been the way for many others. Very strange season with covid. Far too many injuries for all clubs and no crowds has taken away so much home advantage. Bruce is a great Championship manager but can’t cut it in the PL. Not sure he's even as good as that any more. Couldn't get Aston Villa promo...

Burnley, Brighton, Fulham drew blanks, only Newcastle scraped a lucky home point. That’s the likelihood at the bottom of the league, 7/8 more similar outcomes in store!? To be fair, we were unlucky to only get a point against a really poor Spurs team. Gayle, Joelinton, Almiron all had good chances ...
