To be trying to find negatives in that commentary last night, well it will mean you are never pleased.
I find we are rarely talked about in terms of money anymore. I can’t remember the last time we were called big spending Manchester City, or any of those easy tags to put on us of late. I’d say we are accepted now as the top club in the land. The pinnacle of what a club has to be when the comparisons come out.
I’ve noticed the transfer talk for Newcastle. The quotes will be if they want to become the Manchester City’s or liverpools of this land etc etc.
It’s taken a hell of a long time, and yes the odd easy off the tongue comment will always be there, but I’d say we’ve shaken off the oil club, spend what they want narrative now, and are admired and respected for who we are.
Newcastle, over to you!
