So captain no mark and never will be a mark, writes a load of shit and members of this forum not only report on it and give him the clicks he’s after but continually link the story, to give him more clicks AND now increase his Twitter traffic. Just ignore the fucker and he’ll be gone. Give him exactly what he wants on the other hand……..

I'd love this thread to not have direct links. Feeds them.

Shearer is totally wrong. I think Kane is an excellent player and would no doubt score plenty if he was at City. But he doesn't have the pace or physical presence of Haaland. Haaland is scoring goals that no one else would get near. There is no comparison between the movement off the ball made by Haaland compared to Kane. Look at Haaland's winner against Dortmund. Kane doesn't have the mobility for a finish like that and he wouldn't have reached Kev's cross for the second against United.

Exactly this. Some matches it rocked. Some it didn't. I used have a guy sat in front of me in the main stand who used to read the Daily Telegraph during the game. I honestly kid you not. Lets see how many Geordies are turning up and paying for early Carabo cup games when they are paying to watch three games a week, week in in and week out for years on end and are deep in every competition possible for the duration of the season? If they ever even manage to get near that degree of success that is. I'm going to say it: Maine Road was a fucking dump. It really was. When you think back about the toilets, the catering etc etc and I say that as a bloke who spent all of his formative years standing on the Kippax. I was sad when we left but happy as hell about our new stadium. A dramatic and significant upgrade and improvement. Also lets not forget: no new stadium no Sheik...

Stood on the Kippax from 1972, compared to what we have now your right, but it's the only dump we had.

Soulless, stilted and hard to sell out - why Newcastle United must avoid being 'new Manchester City'

WHEN Newcastle United’s Saudi-backed ownership group completed their buyout of Mike Ashley a little over a year ago, Amanda Staveley immediately…

Kinell, virtually every word of that is complete and utter bullshit. Could have been written by someone on RAWK.
Especially liked the ‘can barely sell 30,000 for a CL semi final’

Seems like a back handed complement from Shearer to think any striker would score a ton of goals playing for us. It really isn't that simple considering that people and pundits were questioning if Haaland can play in this side at all.

The English football media will do anything to find a negative slant. We have the greatest league in the world, watched by billions across the globe, and pundits and reporters choose to revel in the poison. It's not just City either. I think a lot of the criticism of other clubs has been totally overblown. They were slaughtering Arsenal and Arteta until recently, the same with Chelsea. Even some of the criticism of Klopp has been way over the top, especially using comments from a drunken coke-head scumbag like Hamann. What the fuck is the matter with these people? I don't want propaganda and don't have any problem with balanced critcism but we don't get that in this country. We just get tribalism and hate.

It's impossible to know there to start with that article. The writer is so incompetent he has not even made a cursory fact check on Google. He has obviously never visited Maine Road or the Etihad and doesn't even have the most basic knowledge of Manchester City. He has just hoovered up all the cliches and packed them into one fabricated feature. Many years ago the Northern Echo was a respected regional newspaper nowadays it has become a laughing stock.

Unfortunately “good” journalism these days is solely measured in how many internet clicks an an article gets.

I see what the guy is trying to do here. He’s got a problem He’s writing almost exclusively for a Newcastle based readership, so he can’t push the “dirty oil money” “sports washing” angle. So he’s desperately trying to find an angle that oil money is ok but there’s somehow some big difference between Newcastle’s oil money and City’s. It doesn’t stand up to any sort of scrutiny but if enough geordies give him a like, he’ll keep his job.

It's odd as Shearer has been absolutely full of praise for him in The Athletic, and went on record before the season started that he would score a record breaking amount of goals.

Clearly Kane would bag a lot, but this suggest Aguero was a good, but not great striker. Clearly that's rubbish as he's at least on a par with Kane as a goal scorer.
