    I’d say it’s more like 21. Or 19 maybe.

    That's just the 8 points we've been robbed of this season then.

    Like I said ages ago VAR will ensure newcastle do not finish top 6 come May.

    Newcastle will have to have a side that doesn't rely on the big decisions to break into the top 6.

    It's all been said, but I just have to reaffirm how dreadfully poor Longstaff particularly was today. Wood too, but that goes without saying... I mean, these kinds of games we need to be able to take a chance... We created plenty. Top and bottom of it - a bit more quality and that's 3 points.

    However... Delighted to be 3rd at this stage. MUCH better than I had hopped for, and January looms, so let's get the cheque book out and draft in a couple of quality signings.

    Yeah it was a pen... couldn't believe it wasn't checked / referred to the ref.

    I'm not sure Newcastle have the money to spend much this January you know. Seems like ffp is knocking on the door.

    Much needed point for us today.

    Now go and smash that top 6 wide open (until we play you later on).

    I agree. We may have to sell before we buy.

    Would you sell ASM for 40m to buy Maddison for 60m?

    I'd just not bother for a while rather than sell anyone of note . 75% of the squad are championship players so I'd focus on upgrading the turd before the inconsistent.

    Im hoping they spend another 100 million this January but it would appear there's nothing much to spend.

    Yes because he's an upgrade on Murphy and fraser.... the issue we've got is depth.... some of our squad are so horrendously bad they shouldn't be anywhere close to the pitch , but they do over a season they get quite a lot of game time.

    Same here I couldn't tell
    Thought it would have been soft but it was no different to what Leeds were being awarded for free kicks
    They went down very softly but got the free kicks

    We're going to get beat on Tuesday like but it's free hit so something to just embrace.

    We're doing well, but over the next 5 months we'll be the Derek chisora of the top 10

    Pretty sure they can spend a chunk, but would be a bit scuppered come summer. New deals on sponsorship haven't washed through books yet...
