Yeah that response to the Wissa question sounds like a yes in Eddie Howe double-speak to me. Although it could equally mean he's weeks away!

Record breakingly tedious group stage incoming.

That's an abomination

Pretty sure I watched that game on C4. I remember the 17 year old I goal being a real eye-opener and I guess I was about the same age.

Nice one, Guy! I've just started working with Plant 1 so very much looking forward to being involved with this campaign.

He's achieved more than any Newcastle manager in my lifetime. He's a legend.

Utterly ridiculous that you have to even ask this question. Our security services should be all over this already.

My first ever game at SJP. What a night, I'll never forget it.

Peter Beardsley

He's got zero excuses now. Sandro missed 10 months. I know he trained with the squad but had no matches and actually came back a better player. There's only so long this lack of preseason line can go on. It's almost November.

I absolutely love the fact that Moussa Sissoko is on that list.

Please no.

If any of the "get Mourinho in" crowd actually watch tonight they might finally understand what turgid football he delivers.

What's the gist of the Wissa sitch? I can't bring myself to click on anything that geriatric radicalising hate mag has to say.

It's all very '85 Budweiser Springsteen for my liking. Shame for Martin Carthy.

I'm desperate to work in conservation again but apart from how hard it is to get the jobs at these orgs, a big part of me just doesn't want to. So much waste of resource, energy and enthusiasm of staff. And leaders on big wages but no courage. A prime example of the great failure of our times.
