Nobody expected a Newcastle win? Really? I beg to differ.

For what it's worth, I think you're right that they have improved on and off the field. I would seriously quibble with the word "hugely" though. They have some games now where they play decent acceptable football (which is definitely an improvement), but they are far outweighed by the many games in which they are absolute garbage, yesterday being a fine example.

Team discipline,moral and tactics are all much better.Hag takes no shit and will get a grip of anyone who step out of line,as he has proved with Rashford.The entire club has stabilised beyond expectation1

They have won one trophy,they will probably win another and they will achieve a top 4 finish.Their fickle supporters have returned in numbers,delusion or otherwise.....they see huge reason to be positive.

They are still light years off our level,but they have improved hugely.

I can understand our fans not even entertaining the idea,as its not seen as being a Big Blue.....but it's a reality.

I'm amazed at how high they are in the table........

Possibly due to the PiGMOL effect, perfectly demonstrated by the Rashford / Fernandes
" goal " fiasco at the swamp ???

And I'm sure there are plenty of others

The day GPC shuffles off. SSN will make the queen's funeral look like a private event.

I bet they didn’t have jelly and ice cream for the queen though.

Thats what I see. Usually the goal difference is a good indicator towards the end of the season. That utd goal difference is weird. Maybe it is WC year though, and they early games they had where they were being twatted by Brentfords etc.

Had a laugh while watching the rag game.
I thought I'd have a look at Alice and Goldbridge in their watch a long videos.
Alice had 276 viewers where as Goldbridge had 52,000.
Even funnier was the Geordies scored the 2nd goal and Alice was about 30 seconds behind me and I'm watching it in Florida so no idea what she was watching ot on! Her face when it went in was priceless.

Great choice of top for a rag.

 

[When The Levee Breaks]

I`m still at a loss as to whom this is about. Somebody give me a clue.

I have a sneaky suspicion they may be referring to Jadon Shitshow

 

[levets]

Rashford is a good finisher granted, brilliant player nah.

Wouldn’t start for City…

Sancho

 

[Fred_Quimby]

I wouldn't know....I don't watch them.

Only time I have them on my box is when City play them away. I wouldn’t soil the electronics on my box with those f..kers

 

[Gazza]

Sancho

Agent Sancho, by his full name.

 

[dadnlad]

Sancho

oh ian Darke didnt write post .................

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

I'm trying to take my sky blue blinkers off and look at them objectively.

• Their defence is mid-table.
• Without Casemiro and Eriksen, their midfield is lower mid-table.
• Their attack is lower mid-table.

You do wonder how the fuck they're even in the top four. If it wasn't for Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool fucking up, they'd be nowhere near it.
