Newcastle United thread | 2025/26

I actually have a soft spot for Newcastle, their fans always struck me as pretty down to earth and humble guys. They had a long trophy drought (something City fans can relate to), and I recall people who went to the 76 League Cup final telling that, in an era marked by hooliganism, the crowd was very good natured that day.
Yeah that final was a great friendly trip all round.
 
If the barcodes want to move uptontye next level and be serious challengers for the PL and in Europe. They have to stand up to the arrogance of "European royalty". Both on and off the pitch.

I hope PIF don't repeat our mistakes and don't give the scousers any respect.

To be fair to those in charge in the early days after the takeover, they were resolute in their determination to keep hold of our best players.

We had the best years of guys like Sergio, Vinnie, Merlin, Zaba, Yaya, etc, whom I’m sure were all coveted by the likes of Brokelona, FC Franco, Littlewoods and the rags (when they were good).

I hope Newcastle's hierarchy is just as determined to keep hold of their best players.

It just proves how hard it is to rebuild from scratch. It’s not just about money. City played a blinder from 2011 onwards. Lots of solid signings like Gareth Barry, Milner, Clichy, as well as the stars.

2009-11 - Barry, Tevez, Milner, Yaya, Silva, Kolarov, Lescott, Hart (return), Clichy, Balotelli, Dzeko, Johnson.

Those are some finds/lures during that two year period.

I would put Gareth Barry as pne of out most important sigbings.
YaYa,David and Gareth
3 starters every week.
You must have it to be undropable next to that pair.
