Newcastle Thread - 2023/24

[Gabriel]

It will take time for Newcastle to get things right, and while Howe probably has plenty of good will on one side of this season's ledger, I reckon they would be advised to move off him and take someone else.

In terms of personnel, the loss of Joelinton has been significant, and he's the first player I hope we go in for this summer.

Never really noticed empty seats yesterday.
They are nowhere near passionate as our away support.
Compare them yesterday to us at Spurs in the earlier round.

FFP has kneecapped them, unless they get really lucky the cartel will make sure they don't get the chance to exercise that financial clout.

Unless they throw a wobbler like Chelsea and think "What fucking rules?".

Also lost Tonali their big summer buy after a few games.

Toney, Tonali…I’m not a gambling man but there seems to be a theme.

Hope we aren’t in for Guimares he’s very average. I think that Isak is decent though.

Personally haven’t seen enough of Guimares to form a definite opinion. Clearly a decent player but not sure he’s good enough. Isak, on the other hand, is fantastic!

He’d be better without clowns like Longstaff and Willock around him.Not good enough for a team looking to finish top 4 every season.

I wonder what's in the Newcastle trophy cabinet? Probably Jackie Milburn's shorts and boots from 1955.

There were a few in ESL2. I was looking directly into them from CBL3.

They gave that back the following year.

There are so many teams capable of being in the top four now - its going to be a rotation every season which is good for the game. I think Poch will make Chelsea more competitive next year, Emre embedding his news buys at Villa...no guarantees - good for the game mind you.

“Empty trophy cabinets, empty trophy cabinets…….

and plenty of empty seats and empty terraces over the years when they were not winning...City on the other hand...they don't like stats though, this ''we are a small club thing before takeover'' that they fire at City holds no water yet we don't rebut it enough (the meeja won't that's for sure) Since they got a win over US ironically, in 1955 we have won so much more before the takeover... Won the League / European Cup Winners Cup / FA Cup 2 x / League Cup 2 x plus a lot of runners up spots - interesting to look at average attendances since then and league placings... basically every measure of being a bigger club...might make this a weekend pursuit!! we should do this v every opponent and post it on their forums... Many will still just say 'that's just facts though' and carry on lol! So... in column one - Proper Trophies we are 7 ...SEVEN trophies ahead BEFORE 2008 take over...Haven't had time to look at average league position 55 - 2008 yet

Thats not a proper cup..silly invite..not a competition..more like one of these daft pre season tournaments you get now. No way should they count that

 

[Tolmie scores]

They beat us too - in a time when there were no subs and we lost one of our best players, full back Jimmy Meadows, to injury on 17 mins yet we equalised when down to 10 men and got to half time. It would have needed a miracle to win it though and sure enough we lost 3-1.
Oh and we had 34 years of shit since then. So goodness knows what they've been like.

Since then we have been so much better - we have won 7 major trophies since NUFC beat a ten man City...they really need to do some research. We should call out these modern day idiots who cite small club etc... not being able to read some basic football stats... its easier then trawling through football books as proper football fans used to do. Shows them up as not being that passionate about the game if they are not interested in reading about it!

Tonali in hot water again for betting early in the season been charged.

Wonder if that means if he’s banned for next season too. Must be close to a breach of contract.

If they hadn't spent a shedload on this guy they would surely have been considering cancelling his contract. Looks like they're stuck with an unusable asset who may well be facing yet another lengthy suspension.
Someone at the Toon clearly didn't do due diligence.

romano posted that he was betting in england when he was already suspended for betting in italy. that guy is a moron.

if he gets another ban will newcastle just keep paying his salary?

You’d think that they would have grounds to sack him for breach of contract.

Newcastle 5-1 up here and hes messing about, gets booked for time wasting....
