Don't I know it. ;)

Surely you mean "know don't it I"

Brilliant that it can be tweaked for any club. Suspect we'll be hearing a lot more of it over the course of the season!

Well that’s what happens when you try lording it over every other team for 20 years, they don’t forget. Win with a bit of humility and grace and you’ll gain some respect. They never did that hence where we are now.

Neville and Cole slating Martial. Remember when he was the new Henry? They all keep saying what a talent Hojlund is. What is that based on? It’s clear as day TH has been no upgrade from Ole to this point. His recruitment has been dire. He hasn’t improved a single player. It’s great to watch.

Why is this almost like a funeral, instead of everyone trying to offer advice on how to fix the rags why are the media not just saying they are shit?

Newcastle did well, not much being said about that, it's all about how unfortunately poor the rags were.

I'm surprised that Shay Given didn't push the Newcastle did extremely well and outplayed them in every area narrative. The opportunity was there.

Instead he came out with the same old shit that the muppet rag followers love to hear like if you play for Man Utd you have to step up. As if you don't for clubs like Newcastle etc.

For someone who played at Newcastle for over a decade and had a fairly decent stint with us, he should have stuck the boot in regarding this bollocks about them somehow being different to other fantastic football clubs in the country.

Rags and their overly entitled fans are getting their karma at last. It's fucking great, and the worst hasn't happened yet. Their squad is shite, full of overpaid primadonnas, some of whom are on ludicrous long-term contracts. The very financial restrictions they put in place to stop us are now biting them. They are a billion notes in debt. The stadium is a shit tip. Leaky roofs and inadequate leg room, with ludicrously cramped circulation areas. No decent manager in their right mind is going there any time soon. There's not one player who would get in City's side, and no more than a couple who would compete for our bench.

Lap it up.

Agree with everything apart from a few of there players could compete for a place on our bench.
Sorry I don't see who.
The diving rat.
No chance he's a ****.
Rashford don't make me laugh.
That's the only two average players they have.
Oh fatty Shaw???

He probably wants a repeat gig as a pundit. No way would they allow him back on if he ripped Man Utd a new one. Their fans would complain, the producers would blacklist him.

So he toes the "mediatory" line, neither giving praise to a dominant Newcastle B TEAM, nor scalding Utd as a club. As you say that placates the muppets, Given gets considered in future (which he likely will given Newcastle's investment) and there's no pressure placed on Tent Peg.
