Newcastle Thread - 2022/23

[Mick_]

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.

I think Newcastle signing a Messi type player are years away, if they happen at all. People high up in the club have said that we'll have to make mistakes if we're signing players for world record fee’s. By that I think they mean that they want to sign players who are young and still developing rather than buying the finished article.

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

Tell him it was a charity bet.

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

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.

I hear Klopp’s on the beg as Liverpool cannot compete with the likes of City and Newcastle.

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 ?

I see a lot of our fans understanding the shit that you've put up with. Some will be the same people who gave you the shit out of jealousy. I’ve always been jealous, that didn’t mean that I had to slag you off, it was the opposite and I always said that any fan of any other club would take what you had.

As for us doing things different to City, a lot of that has originated from the media making those claims. Some of it does come from within the club who I think are trying to say that to keep people’s expectations grounded because we were being linked in the press to Neymar, Mbappe and Messi and I think the club were just trying stop the fans getting carried away. Everything I have seen from the club is respect for what you’ve done and what you’re doing.

Living in a dream I can get, I’ll admit that what is currently happening does feel like a dream.

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.

It’ll change drastically when you’ve won your 1st PL, are deep in CL, and challenging for a 2nd PL…
That’s when I noticed the dial of bile was turned to 11, and ‘sports washing’ became a thing… (along with Financial ‘Fair’ Play)
