It was/is, yes

Would those two be so accomodating in adding a buy back clause to his contract though? Would Chelsea want to help strengthen West Ham who are going for top 4 and where there is no love lost between the clubs Would Chelsea want to help kick start the Newcastle revolution that could see them as rivals (altho not with Howe in charge) I'm only trying to convince myself by the way 😂 It would however send out a massive statement from the new owners as well 👍

I don’t see why £25 million would be turned down, saying they want £30 million. All they need do is adjust the buy back figure surely? As stated it would be strange to randomly submit a bid if the talks with Chelsea hadn’t encouraged it. If it’s true of course.

Agree, I think he would be a fantastic signing, he’s a big step up on Djenepo, Moi, and Theo.

Well despite your flippant response we signed 3 from Chelsea this past summer so we are doing alright without them.

Poor little pup, hasn’t set the world alight at City, maybe Oriol mentioned that after he flicked his Alice band 🙄

Yeah, I see Lampard gave him his Chelsea debut. If we stand any chance of signing him, on a buy back or whatever, I feel it has to be done in this transfer window. If it’s left until the summer and they decide to sell we don’t stand a chance….and if Lampard ends up somewhere you can bet your bottom dollar he’ll be sniffing around as well.

Can’t fault anyone tonight, superb effort. Surely Ralph can’t drop Forster !

I’m trying not to think that’s even possible 🤣

Tella must either be injured or has tested positive for Covid

I fear you are correct.

Yeah I'm sure training in that heat will be great preparation for a freezing February night in Newcastle fixture 🙄 Never liked him at Bournemouth, hate the fucker now, smirking, arrogant little twat.......and i know from my experience in my job thats true.

The PL want to ensure clubs get two weeks off? Most have had it with these postponed games. That Newcastle game will be rescheduled for the Tuesday after we play Coventry in the cup, the bar codes have a free weekend so it will suit them and that’s all that seems to matter.

He should think himself lucky then cos with that keeper they were fortunate to keep it down to four. He should be concerning himself more about him.

Chris Wood - if you are a Burnley fan you’re upset selling your centre forward to a relegation rival. If you’re a Newcastle fan you’re upset buying your new centre forward from a relegation rival. Whichever way you look at it’s a bit odd. Does this mean that footballing genius Edward Howe is changing his philosophy and going route one? He’ll be wanting Andy Carroll back next!

Enjoying the first time we’ve scored 4 at home in over 4 years….yeah, the bastards, how dare they!! Much better to bang the Perspex at the back of the stand and chant about having a disco, or even better that ridiculous bloody geography lesson - “we’re the Northam, we’re the Itchen…”

This boy is the real deal, he looks a proper striker. I think our only hope is Chelsea being prepared to let us have him for a second year on loan….unless they sell him to us and insert the first option buy back clause as they have with Tino.

Cant believe I'm saying this but it would need to be Redmond, at least he tracks back. Not sure Armstrong is up to that level of fitness yet

Unfortunately he was absolutely awful against the kind of opponents he shone against last season.

Long has shown Armstrong up here, big time

Is it just me or has Adam Armstrong contributed absolutely fuck all since he’s been on?

Vardy Maguire Maddison Zaha Kane (in the past couple of years, he was esp annoying Tuesday at St Mary's with his little words to the ref) Manager award goes to the gurning German Klippity Klopp cos he's such a bad loser, more so than all the rest. Oh and although it was 1984 special mention for Adrian Heath......i just cant let it go 🤬

That is correct. Pretty sure the yellow card ban extends to 10 bookings from 1 January.

Brentford home now on Tuesday 11th January so get this Newcastle game scheduled for the following week or week after providing they can get a few players together of course !!!

I believe it’s been stated that these fixtures need to be rescheduled as soon as possible. Didn’t Ralph indicate the Brentford game could be the midweek after the Swansea cup game?
