A card trick from Guimarães
Should Bruno Guimarães be booked against Tottenham at St James’ Park the Newcastle and Brazil midfielder faces a dilemma. Given that Guimarães is on nine yellow cards, a 10th would trigger an automatic two-game suspension, depriving Eddie Howe of a key player for forthcoming games at Crystal Palace and at home to Sheffield United. Alternatively, Guimarães could make sure he collected a second yellow card, ideally late in stoppage time, and be sent off. In such a red card scenario, the sanction would merely be a one-game ban. Considering that Guimarães has managed to avoid a booking in 10 games since mid-January the best solution would be to extend that run to 11 matches and then relax in the knowledge that the accumulated bookings slate will be wiped clean after the Premier League’s 32nd game – Tottenham’s visit to Newcastle. Yet if the Brazilian transgresses do not be surprised if he follows Anthony Gordon’s example.Gordon has remained on eight bookings, despite acquiring his ninth and 10th yellow cards in his team’s recent 4-3 home win over West Ham. The collection of the second, deep in stoppage time, dictated that yellow became red and, despite Gordon being sent off, the England winger stayed on eight bookings. The current rules certainly seem ripe for manipulation. Louise Taylor

All of those definitely happening...
What value do they really think their basic bitch narratives bring? Back in the day those tagline became headlines for tabloids. Nobody reads those tabloids anymore and everyone hates the boring cliche narratives they build up around their teams.
The only fans that actually enjoy the coverage of the big UK broadcasters now is probably woolwich because they are full of ex gooners waxing lyrical and protecting them from any criticsim.
Is that two 2 week breaks and a 3 week one since the winter break? What a pointless idea that was
On top of this.
Howe has ruled Willock out and confirmed Lewis Hall didn't train all week.
No excuses for not putting a few goals past them given their defensive injuries tbh - issue will be keeping them out.
When you’re a bit shit and only play 3 cup matches spread over 4 months and finished by January you’re going to get quite a few weeks off.
Sure the other teams in the top 5 were happy for the break.
Think they had all played at least 6 cup matches by the start of November!
Richarlison not available for Newcastle but will be back after that.
That's what Ange said last week - he'd miss Forest but should be OK for Newcastle.
What time is KO? Second half I mean...
Wait, the Culty McCult members keep telling us how amazing we are.
Wtf is going on in their medical department?
The what members?
Is that like a cult gag about our fan base being Scottish?
I never knew we had so many jocks
