    Only on the theory they're in form, Burnley and the like got surprise results last year (and this by the look of it) doesn't make them great
    Its the beauty of the prem, sure we'll get our own.
    This could have been one but for two injuries and a red

    Let him get it all out - it's just his way of coping with the constant misery of supporting NUFC. It's his comfort blanket if you will, and that's important so he can get a good night of sleep.

    Perez and Lascelles should be nowhere near the team

    As expected for me. A negative display but if you are Rafa you have to play the way you have to in order to get a result. Going head to head with Spurs would see us beaten 9 times out of 10. So his game plan was a good one and going ok until baldy decided to play the hard man.

    We will just have to buckle up, we have a weak team and squad, and we will have to play a lot of negative counter attack to get results.

    We will be fine this season. It won't be pretty but I expect us to survive. Next summer will be the key for Rafa. TV money and no excusrs.

    Unlucky my Magpie friends and all the best for your season

    Atsu was my MOM for the Toon, looks good, direct and puts the ball in. You need a striker, I don't think Gayle is the answer.

    To be fair, if someone wants to do Vinny they need to be blatant about it

    Don't give MA any ideas - can imagine him buying an old London club ground and moving us there!

    Gayle will score goals but he plays a specific type of way and in some games will just be anonymous. He's sharp and clinical in any league though. You are probably right that he won't get enough goals though.
