"By actually watching the game you could see who scored more goals, no reason to write the result down" would be about the same level of logic as yours about xG
:lol: why do we even bother with league tables showing points, games played, goals scored and conceded. We would know all of this by watching the games, surely?

I disagree. I think they were one of the five biggest teams at one time, especially in the 90s before the Chelsea resurgence with Keegan coaching and Shearer doing his thing and the iconic Newcastle Brown shirts. They were considered big imo.
Achieved nothing, smaller than villa
Nearest team to support are Sunderland and Leeds

Since December their defence has been historically bad. Like "worst defence in english football top flight history" bad. Like "even an amateur team would defend better than that" bad

Kind of like it.

While a Premier League club shouldn't be getting giddy about beating a Championship club in the FA Cup, local rivalries are a huge part of football culture and fandom. It was always fun beating City when they were shit.

I'm sure Liverpool fans think the same about Everton.

Normally I would say that's really cringe, but I'll let this slide since I despise Sunderland.
Anything to do with those cnuts doing a poznan and celebrating aguero goal v qpr?

Maybe you don't understand how small time Newcastle are.
All I’ve seen from the fans is this photo being shared winding up Sunderland fans, our owners would do well to look their direction and see how to win hearts and minds

Yeah I sincerely hope that no one at United looks towards the cnuts that own Newcastle for inspiration on how to do anything really. Football or otherwise.

Over half here wanted Qatar based haha
I dislike Newcastle more because of the fans than anything else, but there is no one but Sunderland or Newcastle to support here so the hatred isn’t just football based. Seen some saying it’s small club mentality, personally I find laughing at a club doing something for their fans even smaller

Funniest thing since the Premier League started if Newcastle went on a speedy inexorable decline resulting in them being relegated Leicester last season-style.

I genuinely don't know what you're trying to say here.

Well they seem to have their shit together better than what we do recently, the team did a photo for the fans that they could use to take the piss out of their rivals, bit of fun, lighten up

No you're alright.

We've just had our worst 1st half of a season since the 1930's. Newcastle are behind us in the table.

I was laughing at it in the first place. Which you didn't seem to like. So...

so are you saying us having our worst start to a season since the 1930s is better than Newcastle who over performed last year ?

I'm saying we're currently ahead of them in the league table despite us being in historically diabolical form. We also finished ahead of them last season and beat them in a cup final if you want to go back that far.

So I don't think you can claim they 'have their shit together better than what we do', currently they don't. Their shit is spread out around further apart than ours so far this season.

Anyway let's move on. This thread is for laughing at Newcastle.

I don’t think we can laugh at anyone because as you said, we are in our worst ever form.
I would like to think our season goals are different to Newcastle
We our under performing, drastically. They are on par

Of course we can, if you don't laught at something you'd cry.

And besides Newcastle are even worse which is saying something.

Says something alright.

Worst part Newcastle under new ownership are meant to be a well ran club now. Man United the opposite with some hope that Jim can improve things.

Looks like they'll have to sell one of their big names this summer, did laugh when I heard Barca/Real could be in for Guimaraes for £100m. He's been an excellent signing for them at £40m.

Their fans are complete shithouses, so it sort of fits.

However from an outside fan it just feels a bit smalltime to do that for an away game at another teams turf, considering they're backed by a whole state with the biggest purse in the World.

I mean it's a bit like a big man inevitably bulldozing a bug and then continue to brag and take pictures about it.
