Just saying we beat easily Chelsea in their own back yard. They then draw away with Liverpool. We beat Sunderland in a way how we were beaten by AV. Today Sunderland are drawing atm with MU. We lost, let’s face it, against AV because we worked very hard to beat the above two quite dramatically.
The Geordies are a mere 3 points ahead of us. Should we beat them - which I think we will - we not only make ourselves safe but also be above Newcastle.
My guess is you cannot keep a good man down and if the club medics give an amber light, MGW will play.

Haven’t been on here for a while as the negativity and childishness for certain quarters became draining, thought I’d have a look back in, and the same two people are still causing the same issues, I’ve not always seen eye to eye with winter, but he’s bang on here, a couple of wind up artists have ruined this site, and the comment about winter and illegal substances was a disgrace.

Miss you Stevie F. 😁
09 May 2026 17:12:59
Good to hear from you, Stevie mate. Hope all's well. 😊

I'd like to know how Bowie feels about tomorrow and what the score might be?
09 May 2026 10:40:58
Come on Munmad, mate, what’s your team for the Geordies tomorrow bearing in mind injuries and that it’s our 3rd game in 6 days (which is ridiculous), plus we have Big T and Netz available.
Newcastle have had 8 days off...
I’d go, for what it’s worth...
Sels
Williams Milenkovic Murillo/ Cunha/ Morato/ Abbott Netz
Anderson Yates/ Dominquez
Hutchinson Jesus.
MGW/ Ndoye/ Mcatee
Anoniyi/ Wood
Thoughts?
Ps I’m putting Yates in to counter Jolinton who always bullies us and is fresh
A point will do us tomorrow.
09 May 2026 14:16:33
Yes, come on, Munmad, I need a good laugh after the other night. 😁
09 May 2026 14:34:44
My view is Bakwa is better than Hutchinson at this moment, and Tiawo is better than Wood/Jesus. Is it time to drop two up front, especially if MGW is not playing? Then 5 at the back, with Netz and Nico as wing backs. Midfield: Anderson, Yates, McAtee, Bakwa, Tiawo.

I don't think it was a case of players not turning up on Thursday night, it's simply a case that players like McAtee, Jesus, Morata, Chunja, Abbott, Dominguez aren't good enough at this level of football. They can get away with it when good players like Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Aina, Murrillo are in the team, but they can't do a satisfactory job without them.
Dominguez is showing that he can't improve and move onto the next level - he showed promise at first. Also we were without a world class goalkeeper in Sels who boosts confidence in the defence. If these players are still at the club next season, I'm afraid it will be another relegation battle and no silverware?
09 May 2026 12:55:44
We'd gone 10 games unbeaten without most of those players. We were still in the game until one of our established players came on and gave them a penalty. You're wrong. They played poorly and let the club down.
09 May 2026 13:34:53
Abbot and Jair are 19 and 20. They will be inconsistent, and they play out of position.
Football is a team game. Of course, more talented players help other players around them, that's how it should be.
We didn't match Villa's intensity for whatever reason on Thursday.
Time to look forward to tomorrow's game and go for the win and cement our Premier League status.

Just a reminder that James McAtee cost thirty four million pounds. Should he need other players around to carry him?
09 May 2026 14:10:56
It's not carrying him, it's teamwork. McAtee makes passes that some players can only dream of, granted he is a little bit lightweight in a battle.
09 May 2026 14:19:35
McAtee will do ok in the Championship. Next season, when we sell him on cheap as chips to a Championship side, another reminder of the shower edu wasted on bang average players.

Not posted for a while but I wish people would calm down after the result the other night. The performance was poor, and the line up a little odd from VP despite so many key players missing.
For me, VP has exceeded all expectations and if we stay up (which we will) he has done much better than I feared.
What the result highlights is that the squad was nowhere near good enough for Europe really. We did well to get to the Semis, but the other teams were quite weak, and against the best team in it (Villa) we were played off the park when we had to play lesser players.
But the overall message is we need stability and planning. Anderson will leave (good luck to him) and I suspect Murillo, but how we redeploy those funds and actually sign with some logic, is all that really matters (and keeping Morgan).
That, together with proper support for VP, is what he deserves, what we need and - also - what we deserve in many respects.
The problem is this has zero chance of happening without owner, I assume. VP may or may not stay and any player arriving will have seen the turmoil of last 12 months (longer?) and have concerns.
That team. squad as it is an 8th-10th place team and it has chronically underperformed (albeit without Wood it is harder to tell). With some stability etc we can stay at that level and get rid of the annual relegation drama. I hope that happens but I very much doubt it will.

Great post, Agen! 👍👍👍

Good post, Agen.
In VP we trust.

Do we have 'bouncebackability'?
09 May 2026 09:17:55
Newcastle ain't exactly having a good season, so if we turn up, we should get a result.
08 May 2026 22:17:44
Find it quite intetesting how all rhe wind up merchants have fell out with wach other tonight.
09 May 2026 06:04:12
I've not fallen out, dtp. Even posters that get on can disagree on the team, and how we see things. That happens in everyday life.
