The league table looks great with us Arsenal, Newcastle, and even Spurs near the top. I think Arsenal will go all the way and it will be tight. They are resilient under Arteta. Apart from Spurs all the leading teams are playing attacking technical football. So are teams like Brighton at the next level. English football is moving forward. Let's hope Southgate pays attention to what is happening. The dinosaurs are finished.The sooner they are a permanent fixture in the top four the better. I want United and Liverpool to die of a slow death.
Newcastle's current form will be put down to the new owners/cash injection by the usual suspects, but imo its another case of proving the opposite. They've not really spent anything that the likes of us, chelsea, arsenal, spurs, united and liverpool have been spending for conescutive seasons - and they've had to catch up. Credit goes to Howe and the team for me.
If they keep building on this they'll be consistently keeping one of the above out of the top 4, hopefully without putting up much of a title challenge though ;)
Eddie Howe has done a great job
They’ve spent money though when you add it up but definitely spent it well, building a side to take them through the levels gradually rather than throwing money at names, thinking they can leapfrog trans like us.
Still, I do wonder if Howe will get rewarded with loyalty if they do make it into champions league. With that money and the status of playing in the champions league, it certainly starts looking appealing to flash names. Would Newcastle become tempted to try to replace him with a more exotic named manager?
Not while Newcastle keep winning.Eddie Howe has done a great job

We're already seeing some of that, it's like water off a ducks back.
Exactly, not all about money spent as much as some would like to pin it all on that6 of our starting 11 today were at the club before the takeover, 4 of our 5 substitutes were also at the club before the takeover. The good thing for us is that we're still not playeing our best starting 11 and winning games like today when we went 3 up and stopped playing. I think we got to 3 and started thinking about playing Palace in the cup on Wednesday.
I’m sure the temptation was there to try to do something stupid, like try and sign Messi. But Newcastle has spent their money very wisely. The future looks bright for them.
Stupidly put on a £50 bet with a Newcastle fan in my local pub that they’d finish in the bottom half. Be as well paying out now
All the toxic shit will start very soon they may say they don’t mind but when they actually try to destroy you it makes you hate the cartel even more , it will be great not being the only ones in firing line of the cunts all the time
I hear Klopp’s on the beg as Liverpool cannot compete with the likes of City and Newcastle.Tell him it was a charity bet.
Don't get too carried away.
It's not possible to gauge a fan base from its social media, but I don't get the impression they see common cause with us, quite the opposite. I've seen some pretty niave and stupid comments from the Toon, along the lines that they're doing things differently to us, the right way, and Newcastle will be accepted by the big boys in a way we're not.
There's rumblings Newcastle's management see it that way too.
They're all living in a f**king dream, if Newcastle start to challenge there's a torrent of shit heading their way, there's too much money at stake.
Credit where credits due they're playing with style and a purpose. Howes done a great job. Good luck to them, nice to see another big club spoiling the party. Media are in a bit of dilemma arn't they ? The toon have an English coach, revived playing some great football. Do they paint them with the same brush as City or do they somehow justify that this is different so they can be positive and make them the new media darlings.
The media are the same media that told us that we were lucky to have Steve Bruce and he was a top manager that was doing as well as any manager could have done. Arteta actually said that Steve Bruce as one of the most important English managers in the last 100 years.
I doubt many could watch that video and keep a straight face.
Sky and BT seem to be OK with us so far which is more than can be said about the written media. The ones bashing us are probably the ones bashing you. Miguel Delaney, Adam Crafton and Oliver Holt seem to be having a go and getting some bites from our fans.
