But he's not talking as an Albion fan, is he? He's being asked his opinion purely based on his knowledge and experience of the financial running of football clubs, in the context of standard business operating procedures. Simply, if Newcastle have owners who have massively deep pockets, in...

It's hard to make an argument for our retail operation being anything other than absolutely shite. Do we have a separate warehouse or something, because I've been similarly confused by the 'we don't stock it here, but it is available online'. Also agree that having some sort of live stock...

This. I think we did the same with Mac Allister as well.

Joao Pedro did his medical a couple of months before his move happened, and the deal was announced before last season even finished. By the sounds of it, this move was supposed to happen in January but was delayed by agents bickering etc. It's therefore perfectly logical that all of the other...

Frankly ludicrous work! Bravo.

Roberto is just box office, isn't he?

Curiously, I've attended hundreds of Albion games and NEVER bought a programme. No particular reason for it, just never got into the routine of doing so.

A few media outlets saying he’ll be out for a couple of months. Potentially until after the international break in mid-March at least.

I *think* I'm grasping this. So, if they were to sell Enzo Fernandez for example. He has approx £87m of unamortised value sitting on the books. As a crude example, Chelsea would need to sell him for c£187m in order to hit that figure of making up a c£100m shortfall. I appreciate they can spread...

I'd disagree. If you've had a history of recent hamstring injuries, including a recurrence barely four days before this game, I don't think the best cure is to come on for 45 minutes into an environment where your fans are going to expect you to be covering every blade of grass to ensure the...

Totally agree. I made this point to someone on Sunday. This seems to be a decision that Roy took in the interests of himself and not the club.

It's just an absolute clusterfuck all round - and a brilliantly amusing one at that. All three parties in this should shoulder the blame fairly equally, I think. Perhaps Roy carries a bit more blame for wanting to take a massively unnecessary risk in a game that was 99% already gone. Even if...

Not at first team level, I don't think. Adam H left the Albion at the end of the 2008/2009 season. Dunky made his first team debut towards the end of the following season.

That’s absolutely not what @Weststander was saying. I have no idea how you’ve reached that conclusion, to be honest. Quite the opposite, he was saying that every person’s struggle with cancer is of human interest, whether you’re prince or pauper (or in this case, King).

You’re normally spot on with what you post, but you’ve come across as right **** in this thread.

It is now entirely your fault if we don't make BOTH!

That's a slightly unfair comparison, IMO. I absolutely don't think our fans/players would have reacted in the same way as Palace's on Saturday, however our game versus Luton wasn't a derby match. If it had been against Palace, there might have been a bit more anger from our fans!

This. One was borne out of necessity, the other from desperation. Whilst the end result may have been the same, the circumstances from the scoreline at the time to reasoning for the substitution couldn't have been any different.

I agree with your broad assessment, but on the specifics of your suggested squad I couldn’t see Enciso being left out in favour of both Welbeck and Ferguson on the bench. It’s a minor nitpick though.

It’s harsh on Hinsh, given how well he’s done since he came in but IMO he doesn’t get near our starting XI when everyone is fit. Veltman and Lamptey ahead of him at RB for me.
