    Really some Newcastle fans have absolutely no clue about the level of some of our side.

    I sound horrible, but it's born out of pure frustration. It's like watching people trying to eat candy floss in a wind tunnel.

    They're not good enough man.

    Yeah they are not good enough for a top 8 team but they are good enough for a Pl mid table team.

    Possibly yes and that's why the people predicting top 6 need a rethink.

    The penny is starting to drop isn't it ?

    I can sense the trouble coming like a mouse locates a piece of cheese.

    Let's hope I'm wrong because I really don't need all the agro.

    Schar should be 3rd of 4th choice he's a dinosaur..a good player but we're supposed to be a top half club now.

    I'm not sure you guys realise the importance of that area of the pitch or how many games it will be before they're both available?

    Nah I know those players exist but one is buckled until Christmas and the other is suspended. It's possible we never see that partnership until the seasons hopes are up in smoke.

    Perhaps if they sign this Guehi bloke and Howe actually plays him before he's gor cobwebs it might help.

    Right now we have Krafth and Burn.

    I mean surely we were all watching the match thinking “if only we had a bang average young GK on the bench we could bring in, that would change everything.” I blame Ruddy for the result.

    Why will having Trafford instead of dubs and 30 million less improve results? Surely a rw player that scores goals for 30 million would be better.

    The Looney toons are still alive and well.

    Something I wondered - Howe said transfers were “out of our control”. I just thought could he actually be referring to the owners and our decision making structure? Assumptions were that “out of our control” meant Parish dicking about, what if that’s not what Howe implied??, If I compare to City, Mansour and his team were there at the Etihad all the time, super visible, and Mansour had complete authority on the spend. IIRC from the Amazon doc, there was a committee of people outside of the NuFC structure on a zoom call about Gordon. Could there have been changes here?

    I just know somethings not right at the club and trying to pinpoint what it is. Can’t believe it’s Mitchell, can’t purely be Howe.
