Why was Piers Morgan & his clan on the pitch at Selhurst? Nowt worse than celebrity fans muscling in on things. Especially one who called for Arteta’s head on several occasions in the early years. #Arsenal #COYG
















The worst #NUFC side in a decade has today reached a new low. Hideous.

🧤 The Ramsdale Dilemma: Trigger the Clause or Walk Away? 🤔 The loan deal is officially in the books. After investing a £4m loan fee to bring the England international to Tyneside, Newcastle United now faces a £20m decision. Triggering his permanent buyout clause isn't a question of talent, well for Eddie Howe it isn't—it’s a matter of cold, hard finance. Eddie Howe’s admiration for Aaron Ramsdale is well-documented, having now managed the shot-stopper at both Bournemouth and Newcastle. Even though Ramsdale finished the season on the bench following Nick Pope’s return, Eddie was quick to praise his keeper's immense locker-room influence: "I've really enjoyed working with Aaron again. I think he's an unbelievable lad. Every time that I've worked with him, I've always had a great feeling about his personality and what he brings to the group—very, very positive guy. He's actually become part of the squad so quickly... very good off the pitch, very good in supporting the goalkeeper who's playing. I think we've seen a big improvement from the moment that he came." While Eddie Howe is eager to keep Ramsdale in the squad, Newcastle doesn't hold all the cards. Parent club Southampton is currently licking its wounds after a devastating exit from the Championship play-offs, missing out on the £200m Premier League promotion jackpot. According to The Chronicle, the Saints are now desperate for a cash injection. This leaves Newcastle with two distinct options: Bite the bullet and pay the agreed £20m upfront or exploit Southampton's financial vulnerability to negotiate a significantly lower fee. With reports suggesting up to three Magpies goalkeepers could depart St James' Park this summer, squad depth behind Nick Pope is about to look incredibly thin. However, the ultimate question remains: Is £20m simply too expensive for a player destined to start next season as a backup? Eddie Howe kept his cards close to his chest when summarising the situation: "Let's see what happens in the next stage of his career. We're not in control of what happens with his future; that'll be Southampton's choice." What’s your take? Should we splash the £20m to secure Ramsdale permanently, or should that transfer budget be prioritised elsewhere? 🤔 #NUFC #NewcastleUnited #TransferNews #EPL #Magpies #Southampton
