"They have done things the right way here at Newcastle. They have been very shrewd in the transfer market, unlike Manchester City."

WTAF!

If City haven't been shrewd in the market what does that say about the red shirts, and I wonder what part of City sticking to their valuation of a player and all the trophies won since our takeover makes Newcastle shrewder than City? He should button it until the barcodes actually win something.

He's a thick Geordie prick which is why he ended up with one trophy instead of a basket full. I'll give him credit for turning the rags down but it wasn't the wisest move. Like his career, when Newcastle have won half the total of trophies we have he can start saying they've spent wisely, until then he'd be better off keeping his trap shut.

I've heard him say on a podcast that although the rags were sniffing around while he was at Blackburn, they never actually made a bid for him. So either he or the media are telling porkies.

It seems this was true. The rags had apparently agreed a fee with Blackburn, but the bank would not allow them to borrow another £3.4M on top of the existng debt.

Can't really argue with what Shearer has said. We bought Kalvin Phillips.

Great timing from this former England and Newcastle star as Tonali gets a 10 month ban for breaching betting rules!

60 million for Phillips in January it is then!

Good lord, there's actually video of it? Nothing surprises me anymore :)

I would give him a six month stadium ban… the vile little shit.

A lifetime stadium ban is the only thing good enough for him!!

I see the BBC are reporting that we have found two of the individuals who were doing the chanting about Charlton's death. Amazing that we can find two individuals within 5 days isn't it? I wonder where the individuals who injured the young girl and the ones who attacked our coach are?

"Manchester City have released a statement regarding the fans who were heard singing offensive chants following the death of Sir Bobby Charlton at the weekend.

“Manchester City can confirm that two minors have been identified in connection with the vile chanting heard at the Etihad Stadium during half-time of last weekend’s fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion.

"The individuals in question have subsequently been suspended from attending all home or away fixtures and their details have been shared with Greater Manchester Police who are investigating the matter.

"Following the conclusion of Greater Manchester Police’s ongoing investigation, the individuals will be subject to the Club’s official sanctions and bans process.”"
