    He lives in every Geordies head it seems, an achievement in itself.

    It was nowt to do with Pickford, I think as a team we mentally switched off for some reason, as if the game was won.

    It'll do for where they're now and if they drop to the Championship. If they want to fulfil their lofty ambitions with a new chairman, top 4, challenging for cups etc, then they'll have to move with the times and build a modernised stadium. Elite players would rather not play at something resembling a scrapyard these days. It all helps to build the brand.

    The infrastructure issues are a pain in the arse for them, though. Everytime they want to do something they have to go off and ask the council first of all and then renegotiate their rent all over again. I'd imagine if they want to be a top club they'd rather have full ownership of the stadium and be able to build around it.

    Walker is big and fast, but he has the agility of a wardrobe with three broken castors, and the brains of Kustard on morphine.

    Harsh on Shaw. He left his man to pick up the runner which one of the centre backs should have been covering. At first glance I thought it was slab heads man.

    I disagree about elite players not wanting to play at **** stadiums. They'll go wherever the money is and won't give hardly any thought to that, I'd wager the training facilities would probably mean more to them than the ground.

    Chelsea don't really have a fully modern ground and it's not affected them. Not sure if they've made improvements since Roman bought them?

    Yeah the idea of them finishing top 4 and challenging for cups is a mental one that they need to let go of.

    Not sure it should be a blame game really. Was just poor defending all round rather than a specific player imo.

    Plenty of opportunity to clear it in build up.

    It's all supporter/fan bullshit mate.
    We have a world class stadium and state of the art training facility's so players will die to come to us.

    Players point of view.........what you paying and is the grass on the field decent?
