Every time I hear Mourinho speak about Newcastle, I wish there'd been an opportunity for him to manage us.

The faux outrage from Tory/Reform MPs over Rayner, whilst they're all squirreling money into offshore accounts and failing to declare all sorts of "benefits" is laughable. I'm not going to condone what she did but have some self awareness.

"Isak still determined to join Liverpool". Liverpool need to bid then because he's not going on a free. I never want to see him play for us again but his antics cannot be rewarded. Let him rot and lose a year of his career then send him to Saudi.

"Can't even fly our flag without it upsetting Muslims." Of course you can. The union flag and cross of St George are everywhere. No one cares. But that doesn't create headlines.

"Taken from another group, a friend's daughter has been approached by 'foreign men' wanting her number..." are you too think to realise it's made up or just too racist and want it to be true?

When you see someone and think there's something off about them, so you look on their SM and it's all "stop the boats" Farage, and made up shit about grooming gangs. That.

That statement doesn't fit with him being in Austria, social media interactions and interviews he'd done. Broken promises will refer to new contracts but making out he'd said he was off, just doesn't fit. The only promise that matters was the one he signed saying he'd stay for 6 years.

Seriously how have Liverpool got £25m for Ben Doak? £600k two years ago, ten first team games. The question should be why have Bournemouth played £25m for Ben Doak.

If Wissa is £60m, Watkins the same, Jackson 60-80m, I'd rather go for Mateta who I'd imagine would be a similar price.

Keep him and keep fining him. Don't care if his fee reduces. We have got to stay firm and set a precedent. These actions cannot be allowed to win.

This summer has really soured my love of the Premier League, though. I can't stop supporting Newcastle United. I've tried but it runs too deep. But my time and energy will be at Marine and with my grassroots teams. Real football, real people.

And that, my friends, is my thoughts on our current situation. It's a mess but there's no point dwelling on it and it's still salavagable.

Just go and get Wissa or another Wilson replacement, a young, progressive CB and a CM. Hopefully with Dubravka and Vlach gone, we've got a bid more headroom. We need to be cleverer though. If this window has proved anything, we can't shop at the top table. We've got to be smarter.

People keep telling me 'he'll be worth less next year'. Why? Still have two years on his contract and there's a good chance it'll be more than just Liverpool who are interested. I'd rather take £135m next summer than £150m now.

I'm not as against Jackson as I first was. I think Howe could get something out of him, we've not seen yet. Ideally though, I'd re-integrate Isak, get our house in order, off the pitch and identify his replacement now, ready for next summer.

You can't dispute the size or the pull of Manu. What I don't like/understand is how a club who've made 100s redundant, were days away from bankruptcy and are nearly a billion in debt, are still allowed to keep spending and pay huge wages. While a club with zero debt isn't. The system is rigged.

If the Premier League could prove and of the 115 charges against Man City, they would have done so already. It's getting dragged on because they can't and they know the repercussions could be huge.

Amazed Liverpool can afford anyone, must be paying Romano a fortune. Talks more about Liverpool than The Anfield Wrap.

If we don't act, the Premier League reset will be allowed to happen and the Super League Six, will have their way and no one will be able to compete. Which is exactly what they want.

PSR isn't the issue, it's that we're not (appearing) to do anything to help ourselves. No training ground sponsor, no training kit sponsor. Two potentially huge revenue streams that aren't being exploited and that's before you started getting into the murky stuff of using the KSA teams to "help".

Hard to put into words how good that gig was. Cast were brilliant, Ashcroft was amazing and Oasis sounded as good as I've ever heard them. Heaton Park was well organised, no queues for the bar or toilets, just a shame its miles from anywhere. Pain in the arse to get back into town from.
