Do think if Burn was playing at the back and not up front he would have got that second goal.

Look, if we want to grow we want to be targeting players that could play for big teams. So we'll miss some targets. But it means the ones we get will be the quality we're after.

Don't worry Newcastle fans, just asked Google's AI mode who we are looking to buy and we are apparently targeting Elanga, Madueke from Chelsea, Pedro from Brighton and an exciting young winger Toure.

If transfers continue as they're going, we could almost put out a pretty strong first 11 agreed 25 and under. Building for the future. Jaouen Hall Livramento Thiaw Manzambi Miley Ramsay Steur Osula Woltemade Toure

Would be genuinely interested to know how much our new transfer strategy is down to Wilson and how much Howe. These new, young players don't seem like Howe types but imagine he'd have had some say

If Howe stays on after we lose Bruno it's going to be a proper chance to proven himself. Almost completely new leadership team of players needed, working with untested but talented youths, and no European football. Expectations for the season of already so low, so a chance to reinvent Newcastle.

This was it. This was the point it was inevitable he'd go.

God knows what Burn is coming back to. From the so-called leadership team, he might come back to being the only one left - Tripps gone, Bruno possibly going, Pope and Murphy also look like going. Honestly doesn't feel like we'll have many leaders in our team anymore

Genuinely think the penalty miss and getting knocked out had changed Bruno's mind. Think he wants to win stuff and he's not going to get that with Newcastle or Brazil. Hope he doesn't go, especially to Newcastle but if he does he'll leave a legend

So basically, Farage saw the boost the local win gave Burnham in his bid to be Labour leader and thought, I'll have some of that. I just hope Labour puts someone good up against him and we get rid of him for ever

What US fans who support the red card overturn is that as fans, we can moan about decisions, call for refs to be sacked, ask for rule changes, knowing that nothing will be done. That's what being a fan is. We've got decades of bad decisions we want to over turn but we know it won't happen.

If a club wins PL & Champions League, & you add in TV rights etc they'll take home up to £400m. Which is a lot but not when you have to spend £1bn to get there. So the main value players provide is their sell on cost, not their football ability. Which is why team values youth over someone like Bruno

With all these young, exciting transfers for #nufc, I can't wait for the 2028 squad rebuild when we sell them for £100m each.

When Harry Kane retires this country is screwed.

Madueke and Spence just do not work well together. No pass and go, no overlaps, no runs into space. Nowt

For me, offering Bruno a huge new contract is a no brainer. It says to both current players & potential signings, if you bring both the passion and performance, you'll be rewarded. So many #nufc players underperform or have an eye elsewhere for big money. This would be a motivator for them.

Not just because I'm a Newcastle fan, but would have started with Burn tonight. They're going to sit back and we'll get plenty of set pieces, so would be good to have him up there

Mill Media is hiring! Liverpool journalists, or those willing to relocate, should jump at the chance to apply.

Good on you Spence

For 37 years between '79 and 2016 we had 5 Prime Ministers. In the 10 years since we've had 5 going on 6. Did I think Starmer was the right person to lead Labour forward? No. Do I agree with this whole chopping and changing because people don't like someone? Also no.

If - and it looks likely - we sell Tonali for £100m. That with the £75m from Gordon and £60m CL money should give us enough for a proper squad refresh. I'd hope for 4 or 5 high quality players coming in. New CM, new RW, new GK, cover at both full backs.

Spurs going after our players shows the big 6 is about money and status, not football. We can outperform Spurs, show more stability and vision than Chelsea, even go toe to toe with Man U in recent years, but these clubs have financial clout, historic status and worldwide fanbases. That's it.

Pochetino looking like a young Russell Crowe

Predicted Sun headline tomorrow: It's there 4 us 2 win.

Wish Bellingham would stay on his feet and stop moaning.

Why aren't Newcastle going for Harry Wilson. Gives us a different profile on the right to the likes of Elanga. Can make goals out of nothing when facing a low block. Feels similar to Barnes' role on the left. No brainer for me if we're keeping Elanga

Liverpool win first PL for ages with long term manager. City dominate with long term manager. Arsenal win finally with long term manager. Chelsea and Spurs constantly under perform as they chop and change. Why don't owners see this?

Isn't it great how #nufc are wishing Gordon and Tripps well in their next move. I know Isak probably had his agent in his ear but it shows it's about more than just money. He could have left a legend if he'd handled it better

With Gordon going, feel we can take a bit of a risk on the LW position as Barnes can fill the gap for now. Would love to see us look further afield.

My uninformed, finger in air predictions/hopes for #NUFC transfer window. Think it can get done for £150-180m, with Gordon and pos Tonali sales funding it. GK: Big investment needed here. Trafford obvious choice but I'd consider Mio Backhaus. Great with his feet, young & under the radar at Bremen 🧵

Do think with the leaving of Tripps and potentially Schar and Murphy we could do with adding a few more leaders to our team. Someone like Andy Robertson, Stones or Bowen who are all on their way out possibly.

Do we think Pep has been told a decision will be coming on the 115 charges soon, so her should get out before then not to be tarnished by it

My tin hat theory on the awful new #NUFC kit is that, as we have no European football next season they go with something crazy. Then next season, if we get back into Europe they'll bring out a really classic kit that fans will go crazy for.

Hope we play well today as I've got what I asked for

Said from the start would have loved to see Woltemade and Osula. Nick's composure with through balls like that and Osula running like a mad thing

The 3 issues for me for #nufc have been: 1. Transfer in and out. Caused so much upset without adding much. Needs to be sorted earlier. 2. Not having a fixed 11. Despite the above, don't feel we have a preferred 11....

So, definitely need a new goalkeeper this summer for #nufc. GK, full backs, striker would be my priorities.

So if York and Rochdale draw tomorrow, and Forest Green lose the gap between the 6 play off teams would be 28 points! That's crazy. @theguardian.com is this the biggest gap?

Here's a question to #nufc fans. Would you rather be Everton (won nothing this century but stable in the PL) or Leicester (with the PL but get relegated to League 1)?

My biggest worry for #nufc this summer is that, once again, we won't get a proper preseason. With Bruno, our full defence potentially, Woltemade, Gordon, Elanga, off to the world cup we will have just month with the full squad, never mind integrating new signings.

The more I think about it, the more I think if Howe does go Mourinho would be a great choice. He's the ultimate 'us v them' manager, which NUFC could use. He speaks Portuguese to get Bruno on side, and knows how to grind out results. Do I hate him? Yes. But could he work for us? Maybe.

Once again, this feels like an important game for #NUFC. Lose this, we've got Arsenal next and will be well behind the pack. Win and we could get something from this season. But most of all, I want to see some energy and desire. That's all.

Hmmm. As a Newcastle fan I'm trying not to read anything into this

It's not even that I'd expect Newcastle to have held on to every lead and be joint top. But Sunderland, Palace and Everton and we would be on 51 points, just behind Liverpool and pushing for CL. That little bit more composure and effort is all that is needed for a very different season

I'm not Howe out by any means, but between now & end of the season, apart from Arsenal, we have a lot of winnable games and no cups as an excuse. He's got until then to keep his job. Again, if we decide he has to go we need to do it early and have a replacement in other it's another wasted summer

Tuchel at the Newcastle game

If..and still a big if...we get a result today, apart from Arsenal we have some decent looking fixtures for the rest of the season and can see us making a push up the league

#nufc fans. What do we do about GK next season? Ramsdale played well, & while prefer him to Pope he's not the level we need for no1. Ideal situation is bring in world class first choice & Ramsdale, and sell Pope and others. But can't see us selling Pope. And looks like Ramsdale isn't going to stay.

At least we're not Spurs
