Got to admit I have a soft spot for the toon and like them to do well but not that well if you know what mean . If they get champions league next season which could now happen then they will get top tier players to go with sone very good ones already and suddenly they are title challengers . I think they will move for Kane or mbappe in the summer .It looks like we might just be able to keep something going for the rest of the season and today is the first time that I've felt that. We have a style of play which is getting results and we still haven't played what I think will be our best starting 11.
It's amazing that Bruno wasn't given more games for Brasil. He's one of the best midfielders in one of the best leagues in the world and Tite still thought that he was behind Paqueta, who I like and Fred who is garbage, Bruno is better than both.
Botman not going to the World Cup with Holland was also mad. He's 22 and had played 17 times for us now and he hasn't been on hte losing saide yet having played 17, won 12 and drawn 5. He's probably the best defender that I've ever seen play for Newcastle. Woodgate was the best defender we'd ever had before we signed Botman. They both play the same type of game, niether were/are fast but both were absolutely superb at reading the game and being in the right place at the right time.
We played without Wilson today due to illness and Isak who is just about ready to come back after picking up a thing injury whilst on international duty so we will have some good options soon.
I would love to see us play with what I think is our best 11.
1. Pope.
2. Trippier.
3. Targett.
4. Bruno.
5. Schar.
6. Botman.
7. Almiron.
8. Joelinton.
9. Wilson/Isak.
10. Willock.
11. Saint-Maximin.
I think that team could hold its own against any team in the Premier League and win against most.
We play Leeds next week and then we're on TV 9 games in a row if anybody is interested.
Only one team in Newcastle…..it’s not fair.If it’s not City’s year this season (and that is a big if) then I would prefer Newcastle to win the league than any of the realistic alternatives.
It would irritate the teams in red and their media lackeys and it would reward a following that has been starved of success for too long. (Same could be said of Sunderland to a certain extent).
I am biased and think nothing would top the loyalty City fans showed in the mid 1990s to the take over but Newcastle are a proper football club in a great City. So good luck to them. Except when they play us.
True. But there’s only one team in Manchester. City!Only one team in Newcastle…..it’s not fair.
There's only one team in Manchester my friend.Only one team in Newcastle…..it’s not fair.
you sure about this?Makes me laugh when the hypocritical Geordie fans were lambasting our ownership and now they are lapping up their rise up the table with thier "dirty Arab money" , and the Rags and Dippers will be exactly the same if their rnew owners have a different colour skin and religious beliefs.
Were not English we are Scouse will soon be out the window if some Sheik hands Clubshop a £500m transfer kitty.
