I said the same myself after the game. Last season we finally built some consistency after years of on off performances. I’m certain Emery will have looked at the Newcastle game and learned from it.
I agree that we aren’t going to catch teams by buying players that they consider not good enough for themselves. There’s the odd gem that’ll work out, but I’d rather the club be looking outside the prem, really.
I got married yesterday, it was amazing. The best day of my life with the woman I love, and so many amazing friends. But I’d trade her in for three points today
