Newcastle Thread - 2023/24

I’m not convinced of the need for these meaningless additional games like Super cup, world club championship etc. Players need rest. With internationals some might play 70 games this year. City will rotate but others might not.

These 'meaningless' games give us the opportunity to win something we've never won before.

Don't think they "rolled over for the rags" in the League Cup final last season ?
Thought they were the better team, just that MUFC were very fortunate for about 10 minutes of the match.
Newcastle have recruited very well and are now building a strong squad.
Eddie Howe is a clever manager, but will be interesting to see his tactics for Saturday's game at the Etihad ?

Our tactics will be the same as for every game and we'll try and play attacking football but will try to adapt if that doesn't work.

I hope ye do well (conditional on ye not attacking our bus).

Fucking hell.

looking good. Aggressive, physical, direct and with quite a bit of quality throughout the team. Like the look of your new Italian. Will be a good game on Saturday if you come at us like that.

That’s partly why we can go deep in all competitions every season.

Based on last year and that performance yesterday I can see them being major title contenders. I honestly can't see a weakness, they've got quality, strength and power right through the team Next week will be a tough game. We're going to have to be at the top of our game to get all 3 points. Kev will be a huge miss.

I’m really looking forward to it.

Well, I’ve never won the over70s egg and spoon race, but I won’t be entering.

Villa should of scored at least another 2/3 goals

Money, exposure and a chance to win a new trophy what’s not to like.
Our season won’t be defined by the game against the barcodes.
