  1. Newcastle United lack of spending with bottomless pit of money

    Interesting reading comments from supporters of United who have the most expensive squad and wage bill in World football. Bemoaning our build up towards a decent push for a European place. Will take many years, even if we could just splash the cash. Madison will come and Howe has extended. That...
  2. Nordic Ghost Yeti | Haaland at City

    Think Newcastle will have him covered.... Not worried one bit. Dan Burn will own him ;-)
  3. Newcastle United

    Shelvy and Longstaff .... can't pass and progress a ball with any accuracy.... The 'give it back' twins
  4. Newcastle United

    Great result and performance last night. Ground was jumping. Maxi is a beast of a player and Trippier has begun to show his deft touch at last. Thinking we may just survive...... Then bring on the Summer....
  5. Newcastle United

    Doesn't seem to have for United recently ;-)
  6. Newcastle United

    Not going to get giddy. No chance we can avoid relegation. Even with signings we need a 200% improvement from a first half of season performance to stand a chance. 25 ponts from 18 games. No chance unless a mid table team crash and burn. Signings will paper over cracks and jump ship in summer...
  7. Manager's Press Conference | Watford v Manchester United | Ole Gunnar Solskjaer | Premier League

    You guys will smash Watford tomorrow and the yo-yoing about Ole on here will start all over again. His defense of Harry is admirable. Thought he came out swinging. Next few games will be easy so he will get a reprieve. He ain't going nowhere. His best press conference in ages.
  8. Cavani is not respected enough around here

    Can we take him at Newcastle in January please. Him and Jessie would do us just fine. ;-)
  9. Newcastle United now owned by the PIF | PL receives "legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control NUFC" ;)

    And?? Searched the forum and found no stone being thrown at your own glass House (no pun intended)
  10. Newcastle United now owned by the PIF | PL receives "legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control NUFC" ;)

    Not enforceable because strict laws govern business related parties and these apply regardless of what other clubs vote for. (cartel laws may be invoked against the others). City, despite repeated attempts by others have demonstrated their sponsorship was neither related parties nor inflated. I...
  11. Newcastle United now owned by the PIF | PL receives "legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control NUFC" ;)

    Is this article wrong then to say United have been sponsored by the Saudi Government? https://www.themag.co.uk/2020/04/manchester-united-funded-by-saudi-arabia-in-part-for-12-years-with-deals-wheres-the-outrage-newcastle-united/
  12. Newcastle United now owned by the PIF | PL receives "legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control NUFC" ;)

    And happy to be sponsored by said government organisations to fund the transfers.
  13. The manager has lost the players

    From an outside point of view I can't help but think you have a great squad. Better than most contenders for top 4. But not all. Top 4 should be minimum expectation and Cups a reality. But, I still don't see a strategy or shape to the play. It looks like the team is picked to appease big name...
  14. It can't be just luck, can it?

    Not so sure about that strangely. My best mate supports the Foxes and was so pleased with their title ( but didnt enjoy the football that much). Discussing this he senses that the thrill of the Keegan era and what might (should) have been has lived longer in the hearts of us toonies than his...
  15. It can't be just luck, can it?

    You have a great (not a good) squad (as reflected in your transfer fees and wages). You could still finish second, win the FA cup and Champions league (not a bad season). The style is not great however. Does that matter? Us Newcastle fans never stop discussing this about the Keegan era and 'that...
