Saudi is way worse than Abu Dhabi as a regime. Newcastle fans can be ok with that but if they don't accept that truth they are ignorant or in denial. A lot of companies and people make peace with it and I am sure the Geordies will but they should accept criticism of their owners will come with this. I've been all over the Middle East (requirement for work- wouldn't go there on holiday) but I won't go to Saudi.

He was dealing with a failing team, with people used to hands off management and no scrutiny. In that situation sometimes there's no turning people around. I thought they weren't that bad- the size of the job was enormous. It just shows how much damage bad owners can do to a club from top to bottom. Yes they got things wrong for sure but I bet there's tons worse out there.

Next week is huge. I know we are all down from that result but we are still out the zone so I have hope. It feels like it's going down to the last game to me.

I love my mini collection- my kids like picking one at random off the shelf and then cycling through the games. I've got a retro pi of course but theres something about having the right controllers and the nostalgia of the (albeit small) box. For above if you did want to revisit the playstation- I had seen classics go as low as £20 at one point, and then if you google "true blue mini" on amazon you will find loaded usbs for sale. Theres lots of different collections and they are plug and play. You can do it all yourself but if you arent keen on hacking- finding the roms etc its a cheap way to get the playstation classic to actually have some good games on it.

Hopefully stay out the relegation spots these next 2, then a critical Christmas week. If we are in form then we could be moving up the table with a buffer.

We have got to sell him and get a new reserve left back this upcoming window. He's nowhere near premier League standard

It's from Nixon. He holds the world record for made up transfer rumours. It's his job.

All hail Connor king of the itk

I think he'd be a good squad player- not every player we sign can be for big money and this is one the the manager knows well. If he gets his form back of 2 years ago it could be a bargain

Worked in the end- site went down for 5 mins then came back up. Always a panic buying these tickets!

Im getting a not on sale error after looking at seats. Any idea how to fix? Keep refreshing?

Got my ticket but so annoyed it's early. Pain for me to get too plus I had plans for Tues as well. Arghhhh

Assuming we are 4th or 5th does that mean we play later on the Saturday and then on the Weds (The B fixture?)

I think for a chance of automatic we need to beat leeds and go on a big winning run like last years 7 wins asap. Im confident of play offs but lets see how this christmas goes. Lots of games in a short period.

Its been a week. Ever started a new job? How much did you influence the company that first week?

I worry Bolasie wont be fit this season for the impact we all hope for.

The wrong sub. He is not the man when you need the ball held up. I dont think its going to work out for him here.

The Hogan substitution was a mistake but you can see changes in style already.

Happy with this- felt like we needed an attacking coach and we have one. Ive read that brentford article and dont really see the problem. He wont be buying players, we all know the style of football we want and what we need is someone to execute it. Plus hes from the area and has proved himself at champ level. If we're giving anyone a shot at stepping up a level why not him?

I would love Olof as assistant to Rogers

This guy on the left Bolasie on the right. Jack/mcginn/hourihane/thor rotating in the centre. Should be the best midfield in the championship.

I read Bolasie tried to take the ball. Dont know if its true but he would have been my pick.

I dont think I will understand what just happened as long as I live

That has got to be him gone

What a missed opportunity with top 2 dropping points. The first half was horrific and he has to go now
