The perfect fumble said:
Both owners have not broken through the cosy cartel. We are presently under investigation by the Premier League, our reputation is trashed, trophies yes, respect and influence? No. The cosy cartel want us gone and while I don't think they'll succeed, they might yet.

Newcastle? They're in the top four and might well be in the Champions league next season, but FFP will slow their progress and sustained success is not easy, no matter how well run a club is, with many a pitfall on the way.

Besides, and this is something we rarely talk about, we see City breaking through the cosy cartel but that was never our intention.

We wanted to join the cosy cartel, we're not revolutionaries, we're arrivistes.

Our frustration is we've arrived but we're not welcome, but that's our problem and nothing to do with Newcastle, what Newcastle do is of no concern of ours.

The Geordies might piss on Tottenham's chips, maybe even Chelsea and Liverpool this season, but that's noises off for us, we'll worry about Newcastle when we need to worry about them.

Allies in the fight against the Yanks? I think not.

To paraphrase Pep and Lord Palmerston...There are no eternal allies, no perpetual friends, only perpetual interests.

Was it Palmerston with the gun boat Continental blockade ?
If not was it lord Carrington ?
