Just on the talk of Barkley, while I think it's unlikely, the only reason I could see us going for it is PSR. All these free transfers might give us more wiggle room for making a couple of actual top quality signings so I guess it's a cheap way to bolster the squad. Still can't see it mind unless we sell Longstaff.

Bruno plays as a no 6. I always thought Barkley played further forward, more in the Longstaff sort of mould...and to be fair the only way I would want to see us sign Barkley is if it meant Longstaff would be on the pitch less. He's definitely an improvement on Sean.

Feels like he put in two seasons of work in one to make up for those missing in action. No wonder the fans love him.

Top 4 or we die tryin'.

Just a slight correction but the sentiment is right.

Thanks. That's really an impressive achievement considering the season we've had.

I don't have that many Newcastle players down the years who have been an idol, but he might turn out to be one of them.

He's leapfrogged Miggy for me. While his football is sometimes a bit less tidy, he has far better delivery and for a wide man that's crucial.

Just hope that loss against Man U doesn't come back to bite us, but other than that we've done all we can. Conference league at the end of a nightmare season for injuries would be very sweet indeed.

Aren't they going for some record number of trophies in a season or something?

Nicely timed observation, right after Brummie posted.

Cheers Yorkie, saved me a couple of minor heart attacks.

Update the thread title ffs, I keep thinking it's been ruled out!

Thank fuck for that.

Couldn't ask for much more really. Game is over and we've done what we needed to from our end. Just need other results to fall our way and it will have been a very decent season all things considered.
