Way out West
Noticed that Newcastle only had 7 on the bench....although they could have had 11. Seems bizarre. I realise their are rules regarding who you can include in the squad, but I'm surprised they didn't have ANY other youngsters who might have benefitted from just being on the bench. Oh well, Eddie knows best....

It’s to keep up the narrative that they went out because they have lots of injuries don't you know. It’s smug Ed’s excuse to the beheading bosses

Howe won’t consider his squad until his best 12 players are waddling round the pitch on bloody stumps where their legs used to be.

Who cares about the league honestly. I’d rather finish 12th and have absolutely all of our eggs in the European and FA cup baskets
I’d like to qualify for European football again, as would a lot of others.

Anyone not putting Galatasaray as last choice needs their heads testing.

Wilf Zaha would love nothing more than to knock us out - you know full well he’d put in a worldie performance.
I get your point but I was "Anyone but Marseille" in the group stage draw. That turned out alright..I reckon a trip to Istanbul could be a cracking adventure.

I'm hoping if we get drawn somewhere sufficiently dangerous, unpleasant and difficult to get to, I might stand a chance of getting a ticket like I did for Marseille.

Anyone not wanting to experience Galatasary away in competitive football supporting the Albion, needs their head testing.

This isn't about individuals - this is all about the collective experience.

Personally want Young Boys down at the Amex, can you imagine the abuse we would get for the fixture? :lolol:
Brighton turning up at Wankdoff beating Young Boys.



Noice.

Which we would do, by winning the Europa league or FA cup
Which we’re less likely to do than finishing in the top 8.
