I reckon we'll (NUFC) get somewhere between 4 and 8 points. That should be enough, but we never should have been in this situation in the first place. I look at the West Ham and Arsenal games for possibly snatching a draw, but we should beat Sheffield and Fulham on the final 2 games. If it's a...
In a season where nobody's been in the ground, I'm not sure how 'supporting the manager' would benefit a team that's been comprehensibly outplayed by the second string of Championship Brentford, a Sheffield team who hadn't won or kept a clean sheet until they played us. and a below strength...
Comedy is fine, there are left and right wing comedians by the bucketload all producing stuff that their audience will enjoy. Go to gigs, listen to podcasts, watch youtube, watch their specials on Netflix or wherever.
The issue is a government who don't want dissenting voices on tv (so you'd...
I don't think Bruce continued with his upward trajectory.
I think fans hopes/frustrations are mistaken for expectations. Liverpool fans will have hoped to win the league again, and been frustrated that they're nowhere near. Newcastle fans hope for a top 10 finish again, and are frustrated that...
Are we (and they) not? By most metrics we're all 'big clubs'.

Sunderland probably the smallest of the clubs I mention, but if they get some new owners and return to the Premier League, nobody would be...
Benitez left because Ashley refused to let him spend money on the Academy, or the Training Ground, or have control over transfers. Benitez believed he could get Newcastle top half and challenging for cups if he was given a bit more control.
Bruce has fundamentally not done an incredible job...
Fair to say I've watched Newcastle more than you and I can confidently say that Clark, Fernandez, Lascelles, Lejeune and Schar are all at least midtable quality. The Latter two work best in a 3, granted, but they're still good.
As above.
They've all suffered because of the manager this season.
He has one of the lowest W% in the top flight. His teams have, throughout his career, relied on individuals getting them out of trouble, rather than a cogent plan. A quick google returns articles from papers covering each of his clubs begging to know what the plan is, and bemoaning the string of...
Could he? No. Could someone else? Yes, somebody else definitely could have got more out of the players we have. We've 4-5 midtable-or-better Premier League Centre Backs and a top quality 'keeper. We had been very good at the back in previous seasons, but this term we were flipping awful.
We've...
Geordie in peace here,
First off, congrats on staying up, you must have been fairly confident given the buffer you had, but it's good to be mathematically safe before the final day.
That was one of the worst games of football I've watched in years. Our lot were on the beach from the off, but...
His wages aren't £90k a week, for goodness sake.
He's got a wand of a right foot but, in the Premier League, he's closed down before he can wave it to any great effect. He's received two of the stupidest, most pointless red cards I've seen, and both this season.
Talent vs liability is about...
Michael Adebolajo was born here, as was Khalid Masood, Salmen Abedi, Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Hasib Hussain...
Is it their country too?
Your logic is fundamentally flawed.
But you said regardless of his circumstances. His nationality is a facet of his circumstances and you agreed it should be disregarded.
I come back to the point; if someone leaves a country that is a shitshow and legally comes to Britain to make a better life for himself and his family, he...
No but he does have Boris Johnson's number, on his "other phone". :lolol:
The daft thing is, he's been a radio engineer for the Police for decades so has plenty of true stories, was one of the first people on the scene of the Hatfield rail crash by pure coincidence, he runs a couple of small...
Was on a project in conjunction with the Met Police for a time and the number of bellends there would... well it wouldn't surprise you at all to be honest.
One in particular was so bad that we had 2 printed A4 pages of Stanisms. Stan was a 50ish yr old, over weight man with gout, who regularly...
Few things;
You never mentioned before that his nationality was a factor, you agreed that "regardless of whatever his circumstances were or are, he should just stop complaining about things that bother him?" So it doesn't matter where he's from, or what he does, or anything,(his circumstances)...
I think fascism is the extreme of the right wing, and were right leaning people calling left leaners "Commies" I'd get it. But the right seem to use fairly childish names, in an attempt (I assume) to make their targets seem childish? Back fires if you ask me.
Also, when the self styled...
