Not all about the pass from Barnes, its all about the pass before that from Woltemade. His link up play is fantastic and if we can play off him in the box we will score tons. #nufc

Yeah as long as it's just the one , im really happy for him. What Geordie wouldn't want to score at SJP?
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
I think that was my fault
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
If they would put in a cross for him to attack, he would have other things to do!
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
Just put a cross in for the big man ffs! #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
To be fair, Osula had been moaning at him a lot!
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
If we are 5 nil up, he can have 1!
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Liverpool second half was pretty special up until the end
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
He's free all the time, we just aren't playing him in
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
Can someone put in a cross like Bradford did at the end there? We would be 5-0 up if we could cross. Good half though. Nice to not to have to grind out a result against a low press. #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
God if Gordon had a final ball,we would be unstoppable #nufc

Love being referred to as the holders ❤️ #nufc

Yeah I dont think it will happen, I would just like to see it
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
Would like to see Woltemade behind Osula tonight in a number 10 role #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
Can't believe Southampton gave him that goal to get him off the mark #nufc

In the circumstances and how well Bournemouth are playing i would say yes! I agree with the previous reply. Total disrespect to a superb Bournemouth team
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah but we dont really want balance. We just want them to get the calls right. If they got both decisions right, we would be defending a 1-0 lead with 5 minutes to go down to 10 men. That would have been preferable. I dont blame the ref tbh, I blame VAR blindly backing their mate. #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Won't be buying any more of that after today's announcement
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
The amount of times we come away from Bouremouth with absolutely nothing, I'll take a point away. Good bit of rotation, which we haven't had the luxury of for a long time. Another clean sheet. Plenty of positives #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
The ref thinks if he gives decisions like that they might give him a Champions league game! Fucking awful decision! #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
Think Thiaw is very lucky there. #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
He doesnt need to bring him down for it to be a penalty, the pulling back of the shirt is enough. #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Not s good half
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
Wow Sesko is so on the back foot its unbelievable. Would still like to have signed MBeumo but think we did well not to get Sesko #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
I think its definitely a red
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
I meant it as a joke. He gets hit in the face every game. Thursdays was particularly bad however
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
But then Schar would never play again.....
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Doesn't matter, they will just sell another hotel to themselves and job done
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
Barcelona was never going to be the game that decides if we progress in the champions league. I would love to have seen this match with a fit striker but it is what it is. Our build up play has been great and when wlWissa is fit and woldemade up to speed, we will be flying. #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
Im sure Schar looked unbalanced when Rashford scored. Don't think that would have happened without the head injury. #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
God we need a striker on the pitch! #nufc

Gillespie is often doing the corporate hospitality circuit at SJP anyway. Im sure he will be there.
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Not if you listen to Talksport. I was on a long drive home and they made him sound like prime Messi! It was an amazing back heal apparently which shows hes class 🤷🏼♂️ think they just wanted that to be the case rather than reporting on what actually happened.
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
I find your honesty refreshing and completely unacceptable! 😂
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Talksport making it sound like he was man of the match because of a little back heal 🤷🏼♂️

MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Ironic he scored his first goal in the air. At the moment based on a small amount of evidence this season, he looks head and shoulders above Sesko (literally and figuratively.)
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
Why doesn't MacAlister have to go off for 30 seconds? He was injured, he received treatment but different rules for Liverpool. #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Don't see Man Utd in top half but Frank is a very good manager and Bournemouth look very good

6 minutes from all the fake head injuries they have had. #nufc

Yeah i just said the same to my dad. I can't think of anything particularly controversial going against them

The one time Barnes actually finds someone from a cut back and hes 2 yards offside #nufc

Yep, I went to 7 games last season, I live in Cornwall. I've supported Newcastle for over 30 years but was born in the south west. I've been fortunate in the ballot and I have paid for corporate tickets. I spend a fortune on flights, hotels and tickets but to some I will still never be a true fan.

The problem is the title and definition has been eroded by the last 5 PMs. People have forgotten what a good PM is.

Nick is definitely not a number 9 but if we hit him early when he comes short, he is going to get Gordon and Elanga in every time #nufc

Do you know where we can watch the lasses game please Amy?
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
Anisimova beating herself at the moment.
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah I dont want it to sound like a criticism. He cares and hes trying really hard. Like you said, I think he needs a goal just to calm it down a bit and refocus.
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social)
Do you remember when Gordon first signed for us and he was a bit headless chicken? I feel like he's reverted a bit to that. Trying really hard, maybe too hard, and not concentrating on the end product, not thinking about what they are trying to achieve, just relentless effort is not enough #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
I will only watch the Andorra game to support Burn, Gordon, Livramento and Anderson. Otherwise I don't think im bothered
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
I haven't decided if im going to put myself through the torture of an England game vs a low block again. I keep saying im not going to do it again but I usually do. #nufc

Good interview with David Hopkinson. The only thing that concerned me was that he said he had been based in 4 countries in 8 years. An average of 2 years before moving on. #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
There is a difference in finding players that are good, (we can all do that) and actually creating a viable deal, persuading the player to come to your club over all others. I think you are doing him a disservice

Your right but I fear UK is on exactly the same path

Yeah when you have someone actively sabotaging you at every turn, its amazing we still finished where we did and won the cup. The annoying thing is we thought he was happy to win, he was actually seeing it as his ticket out of Newcastle

@putters.bsky.social
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah the club did him a massive favour not telling the world what a dick he was being. He doesnt deserve to be treated so nicely
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Until a few days ago I wanted to keep him still but that article made so much sense, the periods of time that he didn't play well, he was trying to agitate a move. It all makes sense now. Glad hes gone. Good riddance!
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Have you read the Telepgrah article? The club had been managing his poor behaviour for over a year. He purposely didn't play well in games at the start of last season and after the cup final. He tried to stop us qualifying for champions league as it would be easier to force a move!
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
I think from the write up in the Telegraph, Isak has been acting like a dick for over a year now and the club has been dealing with his behaviour in secret. Wissa did act poorly but it was only for a few days. I dont know if that makes a difference
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Lets see what happens when he doesn't get a run-in liverpool team because they will rotate. He is nowhere near match fit as he hasn't put in a shift since March. If he acts like he has here, he might find himself sold to Saudi in 1-2 year's time. He thinks he won the cup single handedly for us #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Its only cos Eddie's doing the medical and the paperwork too! One man band! #nufc
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Most of it is out of their hands they will be relying on the council, architects and other third party surveyors. For a project that big, it will take years. They also don't want to announce a circus tent embarrassment like manure did
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
And Oliver Glasner as he will be gone at the end of the season after losing his 2 best payers without replacement. 1 year left on his contract
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Lost my crown! Grr!
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah and you look at Villa getting Linderlof on a free and losing some of their best players and you think having no PSR worries is a huge plus
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
He brings guaranteed goals! (As much as anyone can guarantee goalsnon football) Thats what we are paying for and at the moment there are not many options out there that do that. Strand Larsen and Jackson couldnt guarantee the numbers Wissa could
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
We had no strikers!
MikeyG (@mrg102.bsky.social) reply parent
I think it might unsettle their front line and Ekitike who has started brilliantly might be rather annoyed to find himself pushed outside or even on the bench. Isak hadn't played properly since March, might be difficult to get immediately up to speed as will be expected
