Come on Newcastle. Royal is exactly the type of wing back you need to drop £50m on this summer.
Where is Tripps?

I've changed my avatar to Greavesie and it's done something to me
Lucky you ain't a pundit then...?Loved Ginola as a player but as a pundit I struggle to engage.

Goalless draw. Just, y’know.Just voted for Spurs win![]()
Well Conte was right and I was wrong, humble apologies Antonio ?
But I still wouldn't want that team v Arsenal
So hope we can keep Bergwijn, looks a different player
It also shows how good a coach Conte is.Kudos to Davies and Doherty today. Just goes to show the importance of goals coming from every player and every area of the pitch.
I've got 4 pages left to find out if you've all sent out a search party.
This was back when it was 3 or 4 to 1
I think it was largely down to Newcastle being compact and disciplined. They played a good first half and whilst we weren't super sharp, I think we were probing but not throwing everything at them. Sometimes, it's better to do that.My wife said ‘oh dear’ when Newcastle scored but I said it’s what we needed to wake the team up. From then we went up three gears.
Not sure if it was the international break or not but I hope we start the rest of our games with attacking belief.
The pundit have been wanging on for half an hour and not mentioned Romero and Bentancur once.

In contrast, Rangnick, who is an excellent coach, hasn't taken any United player up a level since he's been there.
Pretty much, every single player we have has gone up a level, some 2 or 3.
The players themselves deserve credit for that but that will mostly be down to the coaching and clear direction Conte is giving them. Also, the attitude and standards he is setting.
I said a few weeks back, before the Leeds game, that top 4 and CL football may be too much for us next season as we still had so many issues. I felt that we'd need to buy too many players and we'd still need a big bedding in period.
However, Bentancur and Kulusevski have added such a dimension to our game that means we only need to add to these positions. If Bergwijn stays, I would trust him in a lot of league games, so we can rotate.
Then you have Doherty and Dier who have massively stepped up and we'd only need to add to them, starter ahead of Doherty, back up for Dier.
Basically, there's not as much work as I feared. We could actually start the same 11 next season and be bedding new players in and I think I'd be fine with that. By the time we are deep in CL, the new players would have bedded in and Conte would be able to have some rotation.
This thread is very disjointed with people talking about things that happened 3 mins before. Lots of streams being watched on a delay

No they don't. It's not until the 17th.Don't think we can expected much in the palace game. They have a cup semi a few days later
