These refs are absolute hacks. The Fulham player turns in the air and doesn't make himself bigger "unnaturally". All the decisions going Chelsea's way in a consistent manner.

Trying to do effectively deadline day business with two pretty dysfunctional clubs is far from ideal. Not saying we should overpay for either player, but it'd be a great concern if we're risking the deal for Guehi because of a few million quid. These should have been done one way or and other weeks ago, not on Sky Sport Big Day.

This is it really. In comparison to other top leagues English referees really make a dog's dinner out of the use of VAR. Not saying there aren't bad ref decisions in Europe, but Howard Webb's Clueless Circus really stands out as a bunch of clueless idiots.

Could bet on him being at the Prem club that is first to sack their manager. He'll be unveiled at Forest during the international break.

Think this is it. When told to defend and actually stay at RB he was no worse Walker or James, but his body language and strolling around not giving a f*** that made it look worse. I was often pissed with his attitude long before Dec thou. I don't mind a footballing diva, but that lad seriously lacked grit.

Especially the ones from Dairy Mail.

With Newcastle using the Isak money already to buy expensive strikers it would be ace if we pulled a deal for Alvarez out of thin air tomorrow and left both Newcastle and Isak on their arses.

TBF, he also hid both for Bruno's pen and when defending a late corner during the weekend.

Should be more than 3. It wasn’t a wild tackle, it was just vile.

He really should pipe down and check his medicines. Is over the top and exaggerated all the time now.

Going to be some game today with all that’s been going on with Isak. The Geordies will be pumped up to show us that the are an our rivals and peers. Could have drinking game set up here with one drink for 1) any Joelinton tackle that should merit a booking but none given, or 2) any reducers where not even a free kick is given or 3) Anthony Gordon getting a free kick or worse after throwing himself around with no or minimal contact.

Did we have a bid on him or was it just talk? Wonderful if he actually had a straight choice between us and going to that freak show…

Great result for all humankind. Early days, but City look out of puff. Thomas Frank looks like a great signing for Spurs.

0-2! City look clueless.

Rather think one of them starting and doing 20 minutes before collapsing and limping off.

They might be going for three hoping against hope to sign even one of them. If their previous efforts are anything to go by.

Ah, cheers!

Which podcast is that?

If you're so smart, why don't you talk to Eddie Howe then!

She is their Northest footie journo, covering Newcastle most, as they're the biggest club around. She supports Sunderland thou.

Typical Arsenal signing. Nothing wrong with the player, apart from him being 27. Just like Gyökeres. And Nørgaard is absolutely ancient. Like I said the other day: out of Money Ball perspective they buy badly and sell even worse. Keep at it thou.

Kinky. I like it.

Think they'd sell for less actually, a fee of 125 + 10 really should do it, in the circumstances.

So there is a chance?! (True, didn't react on it until you pointed it out.)

We should now make an improved bid with a quick deadline and if not accepted or no willingness for negotiation shown from Newcastle shown, we should walk away double quick time. That should stop this sad story in one way or another.
