We had no spine last season. Make no doubt about it, we need at least 2 CB's still if we are to become anywhere near a top 10 side. To become a top 10 side and win something we need a good 7 players. Because we have 0 quality in the ranks when it comes to squad depth. With Mitrovic and Wijnaldum and 2 CB's we'd have a decent spine with some flesh around the edges. With any injuries we'll be wounded and f***ed. Given our injury history, so far (this transfer window) I'm not filled with hope. What you have to remember is everyone is spending this year, so we're merely keeping pace. If we keep pace, we're relying on McClaren to pull us up 5 or 6 positions. That isn't unachievable given that for 6 months last year we had Carver. However, we'd need to drastically improve and if only two players come in and one or two more go then I severely doubt we'd make that level of improvement. The point being Ashley wants to win something (and btw the champions league classes as winning something) and he hasn't shown anywhere near that level of investment, yet. Given history I'd be gobsmacked if he did. Have we punched above our weight with our signings? Well, that's subjective - it depends what you class our weight as. I class it as a top 7 side given the size of the club, or at least one challenging for it. If it was Ashley's weight and we were punching above it we'd be champions of the world, wouldn't we...

Aye. Fair point like.

He's entitled to do it like. He's not achieving anything but peace in his own mind. I won't say the prayers at a Christian wedding or funeral a lot of the time because I don't believe it... I'm pro-British, for sure, and this does irritate me but the more people go on about it the more he has achieved his goal.

Might give this a try. #NUFC close to signing #Giroud

2 significant signings thus far. How many more required?

23 days left 'til the start of the season?

TBH I think the whole 17th minute thing has been observed as a notion that it's all we have to cling on to at present. I too think it's served it's time now to a point. I don't see what harm there is in singing things like "John and Liams Black and White army" spontaneously though on the flip side. It's a mixed bag. People hate us singing about our past players and managers too as if it's embarrassing. Never understood that. We should celebrate everything worth celebrating as winning trophies isn't on the agenda, evidently. Whether we fucking try or not. Top and bottom of it is that it could have been any of us, but why should that be different to two lads dying in a car crash on their way to a game, or whatever...

Top and bottom of it...were we shit again?

I'll play

Terrible.

Cheers. Who sanctioned the use of them on here? They need their heads checked.

What the fuck are these fucking Red thread logos? Fucking shite.

Fantastic performance. Created shit loads of chances and totally destroyed Gateshead...

If it wasn't 23:48 I'd write what I thought of this. It was about 22:48 when I began reading the twattery (slow reader).

Aye, some of them are like.

Why's that cos are fans are retarded? New season man ganna be proper canny like.

Wouldn't kna about it being to feed peoples egos like but it is a bit pointless. They come out with the same shit all the time it's just a different person saying it. Anyways...I'm going with...

It's gonna be hard for them to gain momentum like I hope they have something up their sleeves.

These seem to have been quiet recently like. Just released a new article today though. Guess they haven't had much to report on like.

Why the fuck is Moncur getting involved with these cunts? He is literally making himself go from hero to zero. Used to be one of my favourite songs that one too :-(

Depends which way you look at s*** I guess. Better int he hope we get rid of the fat f*** but worse for us as a club. It's a shame it's come to this...

The club are such utterly detestable cunts.
