Newcastle Thread - 2022/23

[Barcon]

Since Jack took the piss out of almiron he's improved ten fold.

Hopefully he returns the favour.

Maybe Newcastle are going to announce a missive Saudi Arabian Airlines sponsor?!

They had advertising around the pitch tonight and I don't think that has happened before so something is happening.

Funny, when I used to take the piss out of ‘Joelington’ to my mate, he always said he’s a really good player, but being played totally out of position, shows you how bad people like Bruce are when your average fan could see it and had been saying it for a long time.

Bruce got away with murder from the press, they're all quiet now though.

Newcastle seriously don’t need to do all that time wasting shit. They’re acting like they don’t believe in this position and they’re just a plucky bottom half side doing alright but will fall away.

They’re a proper side now… just play football!

I'll watch the game again tomorrow but can't remember too much time wasting, I was surprised that 7 minutes was added at the end, I guessed 3 minutes maximum.

Ex rag, these fuckers are untouchable no matter how shit they are.

3rd top on Christmas Day, absolutely outstanding. Isak has got over his injury so it now working towards actual match fitness and things just get better and better for us, I’m running out of superlatives to use.

The mini protest before the game was tiny, fair play to the people who held it as it can’t be easy when you’re potentially upsetting a lot of people.

The only spoiler of the day was the Chelsea fans acting like pricks on Barrack Road and getting their arses handing to them. Come to Newcastle, have a good drink, enjoy the game and then act like civilised people afterwards.

How are you going to set up when Wilson and Isak are both fit? Isak wide, or in behind Wilson? Surely both start?

Bruce had a win percentage of 28.87% and the club was criticised for binning him and the fans were criticised for wanting to see him out of the club, crazy.

Honestly, I don't know how we play them together. My original thought would have been to drop Almiron but that really can't happen at the minute. Maybe Longstaff could drop our for one of Isak or Almiron and a change of playing style. Having said that, I wanted Joelinton to replace Longstaff in the middle with Saint-Maximin going on to the wing, maybe Longstaff out, Joelinton in the middle and Isak on the left. I'm just glad that I don't have to make that decision.

12 months ago it was easy saying who could come into the club or starting 11 to improve us. I'm at the stage now where I really don't know because the differences we can make are small.

That’s the power of the media. They knew what was coming. They tried the same shit with us over Hughes, although he did buy vinny, zaba etc so not a total shambles like Bruce.
