With hindsight, the retention of Dubravka may have been advisable given the lack of faith in the January goalkeeping market.

Struggling with the NHS England’s MCA online training still referring to Emergency Medicine docs as ‘casualty doctor’ in 2026. I wonder when this will go away?

Presumably, it’s supposed to be MAP x Vd/Vm?

Callum Wilson should have won it for West Ham a few minutes earlier. Clean through with only the keeper to beat.

VAR is ruining football. It’s wringing the joy out of the game and it needs to go. Offside by a haircut is absolutely ridiculous #TOTNEW

The sad part of the ridiculous behaviour at corners is it’s filtered through to the level of children’s football. I’d like the PGMOL to be a lot stronger on this nonsense.

Yes, I’d agree. I thought it was a foul at the time. But he’s in that position because he’s allowed Lewis-Potter to get the wrong side of him. But it’s a penalty for me.

I’d agree, Steve. He was exposed horrifically yesterday by both Lewis-Potter and Ouattara. It’s clear he’s a spent force at EPL level now. He’s been a great player for us but his time is up.

It was a listless performance from a side who look wholly exhausted to me. Reinforcements needed; lack of creativity and invention is alarming to say the least. Tough run of fixtures coming up.

I think it’s safe to say he’s not exactly a “principle” politician.

You’re one of us.

Maureen was in the Pantomime I saw on Boxing Day. Still smashing it as the Fairy Godmother.

He’s possibly the best pound for pound player at the Club. A superb footballer who always inverts into midfield with such comfort & ease.

Wheezer’s ‘Buddy Holly’

Never a truer word was written 🤣

The boardroom churn has really not helped above Howe, but we need to see shovels in the ground very soon, to stop these Emperor’s New Clothes vibe surrounding the Club.

Absolutely. The question is why…now that Staveley is gone, I am sceptical as to whether NUFC remains, or whether it ever was, a priority PIF ‘project’.

The owners have had far too easy a time of it, and both stadium and training ground planning should have been clearly mapped out by now. Both Howe and fans should be questioning them. I don’t know if it’s the beginning of the end. We have some winnable fixtures coming up. We’ll have to wait and see

Many have short memories; NUFC replaced Sir Bobby Robson with Graeme Souness so we do have form in the idiotic decision making department, which is why our history is largely one step forward, two steps back.

You might be right you might be wrong. Time will tell. This is a Club with a history of underachievement (in my lifetime). We’re not entitled to immediate success? Howe achieved what Keegan, Robson and Benitez failed to do. Deliver silverware. He has some credit in the bank.

A league cup semi final and potentially one win away from qualification for the knockout stages of the Champions League. It still has potential to be a ‘good season’, but I feel the same. And it’s horrible, I know.

I hope so. I hope he also recognises genuine competition exists and he needs to up his game. I feel his kicking has improved this season, albeit from an abysmally low starting point.

Correct. I don’t think think it was unreasonable to give anyone a chance, but clean sheets are the foundation for results & there haven’t been any. With hindsight, a loan for Ramsdale was a good move, but signing him permanently would not be.

It’s been noticeable how quiet the gobshites who were calling for Pope’s head have been. His errors have been high profile but he’s a great shot stopper and merits a recall IMHO.

Is this just rebadged MARS? #emimcc #medsky

1-1 is my prediction.

3-1 to this Jekyll and Hyde Newcastle United side.

This is among the daftest takes I’ve seen. None of them ever mention a specific name for the “time to replace”. With whom? Exactly.

We live in a reactionary age, where every idiot with a smart phone has a platform to provide an opinion. Yesterday was disappointing but it was 3 points. Most of our top players were playing. The players we are missing are important. We will bounce back 🖤🤍🖤🤍

The green is very obviously a play to the Middle East market and needs to go. We should be in black and white stripes unless there’s a reason otherwise.
