Too games?

Tomato.

I'm not sure I even agree that they were coached poorly last year to be honest. That first half at Barcelona was some of the best football I've seen a Newcastle side play. Against Chelsea at home we absolutely battered them. Liverpool and Arsenal we played well. Man United. There are loads of games last season where, for the first half, or even the first hour in some cases, we were absolutely fine. The players themselves have even come out and lay the blame at their own door and not Eddie's. We may have been fragile mentally, we may have been tactically out done in later stages of games and been predictable, we may have been unmotivated, but poorly coached is one thing they're not, in my opinion (of course).

Absolutely love this "poorly coached" line being dished out The same "poorly coached" players who for the significant, most part have all improved in their time here, gone on to win a trophy, play champions league football, play for their national sides, be sold for improved sums of money, etc. But aye. Fuck you Eddie. You made them worse.

I'd love little in this world more than Dan Burn to be a world cup winner. All of the grief Tuchel is getting for being a) German and b) Not taking the big names makes me really rally behind them tbh. Cause "Golden Generations" haven't done shit for 60 years and folk like Dan Burn are the spirit we need. Burn is the epitome of what every English lad should aspire to be - representing their country on the biggest stage after winning trophies for their boyhood club and simply loving and living life to the full. Being a proud Englishman and more importantly a proud Geordie. Folk who don't like that need to fuck off into the bin.

You just know Dan Burn will think "Why would you wanna go there over my Newcastle" Or "You think you're well better than you are" One of the two, or maybe even both, and he'd be absolutely right. 🩶

Ner just thrown the towel in for half the games he's played

This name sounds like something a child would say to another child when rubbishing their name.

Pedri

Rashford for £30m

Barely played though. We ideally don't want players of that age but we need leaders replacing in the squad and we need people to set the bar. Bowen is one of those and for £30m let's say, I think it'd perhaps be a smart move, even if to only last us a couple of years whilst we readjust and go again.

Get you more goals and assists than Gordon on a regular basis...

He'll fast forget about us here don't worry.

How much do you reckon you get Bowen for? £30million? Less?

To be fair though his goals did help fire us there. I'm being somewhat facetious. Gordon has the ability to do far better than he has been for us - if he eats some humble pie and sticks to what he's good at - driving at defenders and being a niggly, relentless bastard. He decided he was of Isaks ilk (which he absolutely wasn't) and has noticeably thrown the towel in or simply not bothered his arse on many occasion this year. Isak paved the way and now Gordon walks it. Let's see if he has better fortunes... I suspect he will fwiw and it'll always vindicate the behaviour and decision - but I dotn suspect he'll ever be the player he thinks he is. A lot of time on the training ground required, I think.
