Its actually a 40% boost if you account for the minimum 20% negative impact Brucey's 'coaching' had on this squad.

Not an easy game that against dirty cunts. Decent performance and result.

Longstaff is a poor man's McTominay

Great analysis from the commentators. Questioning our players' mentality because Lascelles got a bloody nose

Ok so we HAVE started shitting ourselves

Proper elite mentality installed in the team here. We would have been shitting ourselves here a year ago. Now its 90% possession not really giving them a sniff.

Come on Wood man

Take that you dirty cheating pricks

Wtf referee? Is he blind? Hows that not a red?

Yup, our final connections to the championship days. Get rid

Oh dear me not this cup shite again please

Probably has been the plan all along, as some here have been saying the club could have decided to hold back till the last few days when a lot typically tends to happen and you're more likely to get a better deal. We're not used to Newcastle United operating in a well planned manner but thats what we are now. Not that the notion of someone in Saudi going 'feck this ffp thing lets have some fun' isnt amusing

Guy who writes for a living taken apart by Twitter trolls. How sad can you get and how sad are the Telegraph?

West Ham really aren't going anywhere though. Great last season but they're just as likely to be finish 15th than repeat it. If the hype about Paqueta is correct he needs to be more ambitious. Top 6 club or lets say a project in the works

Massive waste if he does end up at West Ham though, hope he has more sense than that and stays put till January at least if nothing else works out.

So this is what Bruno's tweet yesterday was about?

So basically the perfect material for Howe to do his thing. The couple of times have seen him play for Sweden does seem to have tons of natural ability. Thats the extent of me technical contribution

Typical CT luck the minute he has a meltdown the club instantly decides to prove him specatuclarly wrong again

Aye that cant be accurate, with the business they've already done dont see why they would accept that for him considerning the amounts being touted for the likes of Gordon and Gibbs-White.

And he's a very limited player. Aye he's quite good at what he does, but very limited to that role. Being in the right place at the right time breaking up attacks and laying a 5-10 yard pass to Modric/Kroos. Worked great for them as thats just what they needed with the other players in that team. Should be quite interesting to see how it pans out with McTominay and co

They had it coming really failing to invest in the midfield in the summer. McTominay been all over them ffs.

The fit 'The King' would have thrown in the dressing room should help with the feel good factor

He's always been class. A fair few people try to undermine him by saying he's always spent shite loads wherever he's been but there's plenty of examples of that not working out if the coach isnt right. Just look at their red neighbours. Klopp generally seems to have been the media darling but personally I've found him a bit tiresome with his excuses that seem to be getting more elaborate with time.
