I put down a draw. I'll feel better if we have Dias and Stones available. Newcastle have improved and look ready for the season now where we are still a little away from full fitness. Going to be a good game

Edit - Fuck, Stones is out. We need Dias at least

Where have you seen that?

Wow, I don’t know about everyone else but I really feel we have way fewer back ups for our first 11 compared to last season. For example on Wednesday maybe had only one potential ”game changer” on the bench (Alvarez) . Our midfield feels much lighter than last season, with KdB out for months and if Bernie leaves too we are going to be 2 or 3 midfielders short, unless Philips can deliver which is so far has not been the case. Maybe I am panicking unduly??

Bernardo is NOT leaving

Yes you are, stop flapping.

Just to reiterate about Bernardo, he isn't leaving.

Saturday has got the making of a classic, I think it'll be a proper humdinger of a game and I reckon we'll win it by the odd goal.

As per the source who first revealed Dias wasn't in the squad on Friday

Love reading these.
Flap, flap, flapity flap from some posters.
For those that remember the real bad times it’s like, can‘t wait to hit the 40 point mark.
Whether you’re glass half full or half empty, Enjoy :-)
