If he has a clause then all of that is Newcastle's problem If he doesn't then he isn't coming anyway

We didn't start the fire?

Yeah, I think he could have become an absolute superstar, whatever that means - though it wouldn't necessarily have us better as a collective.

He was the start of it all really wasn't he? Pretty much immediately looked a level above almost anyone else we'd signed for ages. He had the lot.

Kind of feel like there might be something in the Isak but only if (a) he has a release clause and (b) Salah goes Quite a lot of noise now - even a suggestion last week that they want Nunez!! - and also talk of Arsenal moving on to that Gyokeres or whatever his name is But yeah, we've generally been wrong in the last few years when we've reckoned that a big signing is lined up so who knows. On that, Alexander-Arnold must have been pissing himself when there was all the stuff about Bellingham to us being done.

I don't think he's a big enough upgrade on what we've got

To be honest I hope we just wrap up the league and his injury keeps him out past the end of the season. Can't see him wanting to rush back and wanting to jeopardise anything anyway and would rather have someone who'll be around next season get the taste of what it means to stuff. He can come and ponce around in his trackie, obviously.

They must be in line for joint Managers of the Month Seriously though, surely at least some of the players wish they'd f*** off and leave them to it

Utterly affected. Try-hard little gremlins.

Contrary. Deliberately obtuse. No idea. Paul, you seem sound but you don't half adopt some mad positions.

Assumed he'd be driving it, 6 pints in. The little c***. What else was there? Jimmy Nail checking tickets? In every single respect they are the club not to be. I f***ing hate them. So do I. What 'vibe' do Nazi salutes give? How much more educating does he need? If only his dog was still around to tell him he's being a prick.

Ah go on... You can probably remember all of everyone else's best (least s***) moments

I don't believe that deep down they just think it is funny. There is an underlying but conscious contempt for the people most likely to be offended by it. It's indefensible.

Ha ha I was trying to remember that earlier on

Pretty much every good team ever has managed this so yeah

Not seen that one. What's the issue with Miley Cyrus? The impact on our achy-breaky hearts or something?

Did Klopp do big LOLZ adverts that nodded and winked to him moving on? Think that's the issue isn't it?

I loved Rafa What was the thing he said about Hodgson and priests and sugar abs stuff?

He was crap and a d****ead

Wild times them Rafa turning up in a trackie and just saying "I am focused on training and coaching my team" over and over again. Tragi-comic

Our record of buying fullbacks is pretty dire We've had some absolute dross there Who have we brought in the last 30 odd years who's been any good? Rob Jones Babbel Robbo Gomez, if you count him as FB Anyone else? Suppose Finnan was ok-ish, Arbeloa too Aurelio was a lovely footballer but yeah... Other side of the ledger you've got Barragan, Bjornebye, Cissokho, Clyne, Degen, Dossena, Enrique, Insua, Johnson, Josemi, Konchesky, Kromkamp, Manquilo, Moreno, Riise, Traore....

Fair enough, I think that moves it up a significant notch The rest of it is just generic, boring bantz but come on, nobody can just chuck Nazi salutes in with that now and claim 'only joking' He managed Tottenham, like
