apparently there will be protests.  i hope they are protesting the last time we will play with such a huge disparity between the teams.

the fat cockney bastard is gone.

[Stan]

Schar scored to give Newcastle the lead, then Son set up Davies to equalise.

Emerson Royal now goes down like a sniper has shot him after an altercation with Saint-Maximin & Joelinton. 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Spurs looking brilliant right now

[Danny]

This brings Newcastle straight back into it and they don’t have a fantastic run in to come 

[Danny]

Howe-ball has arrived

[OrangeKhrush]

Was one of the games I wasn't looking forward to.   But the next 3 are home games after 4 away games on the bounce.    Trippier and Wilson back before the end of the month is going to be a big boost.

35 points should be safe,  and we have three home games.   Sure they are against Palace, Wolves and Leicester,  neither of them are anything close to spurs level.    Games against City and Liverpool were write offs  theoretically.

Norwich away as well. Newcastle will be fine I think

Norwich and Burnley we must treat as absolute priority wins.   Crystal Palace, Wolves and Leicester at home is a good chance at points to.   wolves have fallen off a lot,  and leicester can have a whoopsie here and there.   Arsenal, Liverpool, and City are probably a bridge to far but sometimes  you have those last minute equaliser type moments.    I would say 4 more points gets us to 35 which given how watford and burnley lost seems like a good gap.

Spurs on song are really good. I think with a couple of decent additions this summer they'll fly. Hard to say how high they can go through - possibly 3rd.

[Storts]

We were really good second half. Howes teams always seem to collapse against us.

Was sceptical but fair play to Paratici. Romero, Bentancur and Kulusevski have been superb signings. The former is going to be one of the very best centre backs around and the latter have been such an upgrade on our team. Bentancur head and shoulders above our other CMS. Just ridiculously calm and composed on the ball, like a midfield Berbatov the way he glided and well Kulusevski is just superb. 

[OrangeKhrush]

the only player that looked capable of playing spurs was Bruno Guimaraes, which is why we need more of those players in.   

 

I know we are interested in Phillips, Renato Sanches and Bissouma, who paired with Bruno is a massive improvement.  Joelinton and Willock are subs level players.   I would also like Antony from Ajax to have him and St Maxifall would create havoc.   

 

Defensively I have really liked Ben Godfrey, he is very underrated.  though the Botman and now Schlotterbeck links persist.

Tottenham are the bench to be at by at least 2024/2025

Saint-Maximin must be the most frustrating player. All the skill and talent dribbling, but end product lacking and he gave the ball away for at least two of our goals yesterday.

he reminds me of Ben Arfa, a show pony without product or Cristiano Ronaldo circa 2003-2005.   if someone offers us 50m like a rumour suggests I'm taking it and putting the money into Lucas Paquetta and Antony.

Reminds me of Adama Traore. Lots of skill, can get by players but the end product lacks...

Will Spurs get 4th?

with all the rumours I am fine letting him go.  we can do better than him.   ludovic Blas for instance is less of a show pony

I just can’t see us catching them of Arsenal. Not consistent enough still

St Maximim could only dream

[Lucas]

Where's the Saint-Maximin disrespect come from?

Granted he may not have had the best of games yesterday (Who really did for them) but that was his first start in 7 games.

Bloke has pretty much single handedly carried Newcastle the last couple years, sometimes on one leg. He's the 2nd highest scorer in the team too.

Think it's a bit unfair really. You accept with these type of mercurial talents that they will have swings and roundabouts but I'd love to see where Newcastle would have been without him this season.

I say this as well given we have an identical talent in Raphinha who has blown hot and cold this season but without him, we'd be a dead duck.

I thought Kulusevski would be a good signing for Spurs. I was told he was shit because he was shit at Juve and the Serie A is dogshit

ASM needs to be a better team player, a simple pass here and there is the difference.   he has been poor since trippier got hurt.   when trippier was causing trouble down the right it left more space for Maxi.

 

he is a  frustrating player
