Of course you can think and feel what you like and if you are disappointed sobeit. I think the point is that the transfer window isn't closed yet and two quality signings (if they happen) could well make all the difference. If you had posted this after the window had closed and you weren't happy, different case entirely. Didn't we sign Toby on the last day of the window last season?

Whitey, you cant join the night bed soiler brigade! Don't drink anything after 9pm and make sure you fully empty your bladder just before you go to bed and you will be fine.

A lot depends on the length of the outstanding contract, the offer and how much the player wants to move on. I don't think that any of the players we have lost over the last two summers were desperate to stay here were they? They are all on substantially more money than they were with us and they have all departed to "bigger" clubs.

Being "disappointed" about the transfer window now is like being disappointed with the Christmas presents you have opened before 25th December. Wait to see what you have under the tree on Christmas Day before you weigh up how well you have done from Santa. Also remember that the biggest isn't always the best!

No one is irreplaceable and Morgan isn't even a firm starter for his country. It could well be that we will not be as strong defensively as last year but even if the people who left had stayed there was no guarantee that they would have performed as well again. The club have said that they are looking to bring others. Caulker is a replacement for Gardos and we have yet to see what Clasie can do. No need to wet the bed just yet.

It does also say that we are a more than decent team and to be fair when we lose our better players we want them to go to top sides, not equals.

I can see why you didn't go with the name OptimisticStan.

Gazza looking poor still and was at fault for the second.

I love it when you deliberately misspell people's names to make them look rubbish. Can we have one for Les Reed please? What about Less Weed?

Who told you this? Alpine?

This is a wind up, right? If not, I don't think you will be missed. Better off becoming a plastic for some other team with greater ambitions.

I don't think there is any reluctance involved!

You make it sound like it is part of the club's business plan. Even if we were to lose a couple of decent players every year (and players always move on at some point) it doesn't have to hurt you as long as your recruit well.

Hi Guan. Thanks for what you have shared so far and also for clarifying the current situation.

I think it is just you. And Alpine.

Of the three chances I still think that Maya's was the most straightforward and you could tell by his face that he knew it was a glorious opportunity. Pelle and Long both had more to do with their respective headers. Still, it is done now and Newcastle squandered plenty of good opportunities too.

Can of worms

Agreed. And Yoshi missed an easier chance but because Mane's came right at the end Yoshi got away with it.

He was a quality player and although as you say he didn't live up to his hype, he still was decent for us. I don't think we used him properly though.

I am sure he wasn't. He would have wanted a win. But that was made less likely by very poor defending and poor 1st half performance. Taking the game as a whole we were lucky to come away with a point even if we did finish the game stronger than them. As I said, if they had taken their chances earlier we would have been well out of the game by the time we got our 2nd.

That's football though isn't it? You have to take your chances and if Newcastle had of done they would have been out of sight well before Long got the equaliser. As long as Mane keeps making the runs he does he will get goals. The attacker hasn't been born yet who puts every chance away. Harsh to blame Mane for not getting three points after the two poor goals we gave away.
