If you asked me before the transfer window at the start of this season, I would not have "Kai Havertz will be instrumental to our title challenge" on my bingo card

That would have been the HOT TAKE of the fucking preseason if someone had tried to claim that

Absolutely hahahaha. Ramsdale being completely displaced is fucking news to me too, I was sure Raya was going to be a waste of time.

I did think we'd regret selling Xhaka and that's been sort of true? But we're now better for it so I would say definitely the right decision.

With all the changes, it took the team a while to get cooking. I just hope they can maintain with 2 competitions to focus on.

Still think if Trossard had scored on that Ramsdale long bomb that would've been the sequence of the season.

"wish if we just SWAP Raya with Ramsdale with no addition on fees."

some Brentford fan on YouTube.

Newcastle have really fallen off a cliff recently, haven't they?

That squad is showing its limits. Unless if their prince is a penny pincher I would expect a purge and spending spree in the off season.

Newcastle a buncha frauds

Injuryasu and Timba training with the squad today. Figured he might get back to fitness for Japan.

Haysoos on the left wing looking likely.
