Don’t want to be that guy, but how is it not offside with their player stood right in front of Pope?!? Did Tiote not have one ruled out few years back for same?!?

Last time I posted was just before West Ham home game - probably jinxed it! So been quiet, but how are people feeling now and where we are? I’m still happy with season. I don’t think we’ll sign anyone this month, and that’s purely down to PSR, so we need to play the game! Our time will come! #nufc

Feels really important we get the 3 points tonight, with top 4 within reach it’s games like this we need to put to bed efficiently and effectively. Wilson and Trips back hopefully to add bit of experience and guile from bench too - let’s pick up where we left off! 3-1 to us, Isak brace #nufc

I wouldn’t argue with that - keep up the momentum and still got decent options off bench if need to change things/close it out

Interesting to see how Eddie lines us up this afternoon. Been saying for a while our midfield just didn’t feel balanced - the Bruno/Tonali conundrum - Longstaff coming back in and doing that dirty work - the Big Joe and Willock axis on left which just seems to give us way more legs and options…#nufc

Loving the Lewis Hall call-up - well deserved and reward for consistently high level performances this season, showing he’s developing his game and tactical understanding under Eddie. Hopefully we have both full back positions sorted for next few years! #nufc

Looking back on yesterday’s #NUFC match, strikes me we would have drawn or lost that last season. Having Pope and Big Joe back is massive and even when not playing well we still ground it out. Plenty of room for improvement though, but happy we have that steel back - rest will come

Another day, another mad Chelsea signing. Genuinely don’t know what their strategy is, other than buying enough raffle tickets and hoping one wins (which in reality means selling them in few years for a bit of profit) just seems a strange way to run a football team - is the coach on board too? #NUFC

I am always impatient when it gets to this stage - just get it done man! Ha - but I think we just need to (hate this phrase) trust the process and Mitchell et al will do the right thing

Very true - I at least have utmost confidence that we do actually have the right people in those positions, so things will get done. It’s probably more external factors impacting things too (Euros, Olympics and Copa America delaying some moves, PSR guidelines etc)

Yes, I know we have a bit of “deadwood” but you’d think some champ teams would be keen (must be wages causing issues?) I’d love us to go big on a RW, rather than “potential”, but finances might dictate..

Yeah, when you look around there hasn’t really been a lot of movement, so maybe it will kick off in next fortnight. I’d love to free up some squad space with people like Fraser, Targett and Lewis all being shipped out

Agreed on keeping key players - that was first priority. PSR has clearly knacked most things up too (unless you are Chelsea..) so given all that I’m not panicking… yet ha

What is everyone thinking of #NUFC transfer window so far? I know there’s still a few weeks left, but I’d hoped we would have got more deals done early (both incoming and outgoing!) - wishful thinking maybe. If we end up with Guehi and a decent RW (who though??) I’d be confident of top 6..

Cheers, that’s really useful! Still finding my way around these parts!

Have to say it’s pretty refreshing being over here and away from Twitter noise - let’s hope there’s more #nufc peeps to follow and it becomes the place to go to for all things Magpies related (he says hopefully anyway)
