Rosco

He holds our defence / midfield in place also very noticeable how much better Trippier/Almiron play when he's involved, Isak / ASM should benefit as well

Normal service will be resumed soon once this fella is back back in the groove

It was similar under Keegan all out attack....Pav would race out then try and dribble/knock it past opposing player and nearly give the fans a heart attack

Somebody in the Pope family must have had a bet yesterday🤣 From NUFC.com While Nick Pope made the headlines for his dismissal against Liverpool, he wasn't the only member of his family to have issues with officialdom on Saturday. Pope's elder brother Josh - also a goalkeeper - was red-carded earlier in the day for Mildenhall Town against Harleston Town in the Eastern Counties League.

I sense pre final nerves are kicking in

Still keeping fingers crossed Rashford and Fernandes gets crocked this week

I would start with ASM and Isak next week which means Wilson on the bench Karius Trippier Schar Botman Burn Bruno Joelinton Longstaff Almiron Isak ASM Subs Wilson Willock Anderson Murphy Targett ...probably to early for him as he's only played 60 min of U21 game etc etc But knowing ASM he'll have one of those games running into blind alleys and producing nothing so maybe Wilson and Isak both start

As already mentioned ASM had a very good game and should start next week as for which goalkeeper to play flip a coin but Karius gets my vote…..yes he hasn’t played for ages but I can see him having a brilliant game

After tomorrow's game they'll all be patting themselves on the back for a "class / mint display" & FTM

I dont get all this doom and gloom........we are 4th in league with one defeat they are a place above granted we've hit a sticky patch of draws,but its a one off game and we have the meanest defence atm

My work mate checked his bank for any pending payments and saw the word "Newcastle" and for one glorius millisecond sheer ecstasy..........then saw "Building Society".............BOLLOCKS

5th place would be a real pisser CL spot would put us miles ahead of schedule and money wise CL is worth tens of millions more than the Europa

I was really hoping we'd give them a good hiding today but we badly miss Bruno in midfield and the same problem as last week,giving the ball away way too much and nobody bossing the middle.......Next two games are a worry as we show no sign of ending this poor run

Two words on todays match.......PISS POOR

Our bench looks shite apart from Gordon

That dog looks a vicious bastard......Is he living in Benwell🤣

Different rules for the mags.........now what could that mean🤣

Lots of empty seats and not just the top tier sure I read somewhere they charged £15 even though live on BBC would keep people away £10 ticket they might have filled it

Tickets sorted The hard part is getting there and finding hotel........atm its drive there and back in same day from North Yorkshire, two of us going down so we can share the driving but I'm sure we'll find somewhere to kip

Great news.....more here https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11726775/Newcastle-make-major-breakthrough-plans-improve-St-James-Park.html

Its like Eurovision.....tacky🙄

We're on a wobble at the moment all teams have one but we're not losing and still grinding out results,I'd play Isak and Gordon at Bournmouth to freshen things up a bit for a 3-0 win.Then home to Liverpool last game before the final give them a good hiding (hopefully Klopp will still be there) then have this blasting out the PA system to get everybody right up for it

You just know that the mackems will be scouring tiktok/facebook/twitter etc that weekend desperate to find someone in TS fountain making an arse of themselves......unfortunately they will probably succeed

Just think those 6 points dropped against Palace/Leeds/West Ham would have us 4 points behind Arsenal if you include 2 further points from the Palace home game, at least a point at Liverpool and we're a point behind them

What you on about........all I've said is a CL spot would put us well ahead of schedule
