No sign of a Spursy so far, been a pretty tepid affair so far....Utd absolutely woeful as per, not even a shot on target.

Lindelof subbed off injured.....Evans on over Maguire. 

Just keep taking shots at Forster.

Take anyone with 2nd leg at Anfield please

Spurs v Liverpool then Liverpool V Spurs

Come on Newcastle!

Someones paying 100m+ for Isak in the summer and they're getting a special player

Definitely not us unless you took off a couple of 0s

Don’t think there are many with that level of money that can afford him tbh

The level of revolt would be off the scale by the Geordies if they sold Isak. Plus with Arab money on offer.....

Hahaha 2-0

£75 million + Nunez.. may swing it..

I don't know about European clubs but in the Prem both Chelsea and Arsenal will be wanting a forward and could afford the 100m+ price tag.

Again I don't see Newcastle in a position where they need to sell, they jettisoned a couple of youth and fringe players in the summer to meet "ffp"

Total misjudgement from Havertz from that header, scratch that, came off his shoulder.

They've got a good chance of making the CL but do you think Isak might try to force a move if they don't qualify?
