    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    Ange absolutely embarrassing himself here, learnt nothing at all from Fulham and Forest. Putting out the same XI for the second half was incomprehensible

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    Ange needs to take a look at himself imo. Keeps sending out teams that look hopelessly ill prepared first half, and keeps picking players who aren’t performing. I wish we could say it was hindsight to say Bissouma should never have been picked but it’s not. It was fucking obvious and he’s...

    That’s just pathetic

    So weak from Udogie

    Son with a terrible touch. That’s a huge chance the commentators didn’t even mention

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    That’s just outright weird refereeing. Not even sure VDV fouls him, and why is he pointing at different areas of the pitch as if VDV had committed fouls before?

    Maddison should have been booked there - on the other hand, obvious foul by Gordon first

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    Not sure what the point of picking Bissouma is if he is completely unable to help us play through the press. Not offering himself for the ball, not doing anything

    Loan Watch Troy Parrott - Excelsior Rotterdam

    There is absolutely zero evidence to suggest he’s good enough to contribute to our squad. A good loan that boosts his value is the best we could possibly have hoped for and that seems to have been realised. Good news all round but let’s be realistic and cash in while we can

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 23/24

    So to clarify, it’s ridiculous that anyone reads comments from fans at rival clubs because they find them funny, but it’s absolutely fine for you to read them and our fans’ responses because you find them funny? If people are getting genuinely upset by comments I agree that’s ridiculous but I...

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    That’s hardly surprising though when 80% if his appearances have been off the bench (24/30) and the few that weren’t were when we were racked by injuries. I think Bentancur should start and if that’s the case I would start PEH over Bissouma

    Tosin Adarabioyo

    First I don’t accept the implied premise that signing Solomon was a bad idea. He had performed in the PL and Ange seemed to like him, his injury problems were not predictable. Second Tosin is a good player and would be a fine squad member. It’s just not a position we need right now. Signing...

    Tosin Adarabioyo

    This is a good point - I think LB/LW is possible but LB/RB is also a good shout. We could justify a decent fee if that gave us 3 high quality full back options

    That was what I said a few posts ago…. Sometimes I feel I’m shouting into a vacuum :-)

    Tosin Adarabioyo

    As I said above, do we really think Kelly can play as a LB for Ange? I struggle o think of anyone I think could cover both LCB and LB to high standard in our system

    Tosin Adarabioyo

    It’s a tricky one because the role of our full backs makes it a lot harder to get someone who can adequately cover LCB and LB. Most people we would be happy with covering Micky won’t be suited to playing as an attacking 10. So on paper Lloyd Kelly looks ideal - HG, on a free, decent LCB with...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Yves Bissouma

    He started ok but we completely lost control of the midfield in the second quarter and that was down to him and Pape. He trod on the ball to launch one dangerous counter and gave away the ball countless times. Replacing them at HT completely changed the game. on the goal I have absolutely no...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Yves Bissouma

    I don’t want to sell him but I think you’ve swung too far the other way and are making excuses for some pretty shit form. I agree he was good at West Ham but we can’t have a first team starter where you have to think about which games he has played well in. He was absolutely dreadful against...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Yves Bissouma

    It’s hard to say. What I can say with confidence is it won’t work if you have a 6 who can’t be arsed to track back at all. Watch Bissouma for the Forest goal again- he starts yards ahead of the guy who crossed it and simply doesn’t bother trying to track the runner at all. I’d have subbed him...

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    You seem to have a problem in need of some evidence rather than some evidence that suggests a problem. As others have pointed out 3 or 4 of our first team lineup were established prem players when we bought them
