    My wife calls me Mr. Consortium of One
  1. He's been a good lad. Sorry to see him go and wish him nothing but the best.
  2. Awesome signing. Put the stamp of legitimacy on the club.
  3. For what he did, when he did it, he will always be one of my favorites.
  4. He's played some good football for us. I've always rooted for him and always will.
  5. Obertan running around like a chicken with its head cut off. He was probably the worst I've seen in a Newcastle shirt. Siem DeJong was quite talented until he started coughing up a lung and have bits and pieces of his body falling off.
  6. It has to be a difficult transition from being the primary offensive threat, prior to Howe, to being a more complimentary player now. He's made the adjustment and can be deadly while creating space in the box.
  7. from our position earlier to not qualify for Europe at all would be extremely disappointing. Top four is slipping away and with out a glut of goals I can't see us making Champions League. Someone needs to start getting hot be it Isak or Wilson and we need some others to chip in as well. Defensively we're still sound but a lack of scoring will take it's toll on the squad mentally.
  8. If we played October form we're in with a shout. But it is not October and out attack is rather toothless. We didn't create many chances and if we didn't I'm not convinced we would have converted them. We were only going to have a chance to win if we scored first. Still, I'm heartened by the fact that this isn't a one off. I expect we'll have more of these types of games. Now we have to focus on staying in the top 5. I'd much prefer top 4 but we have to start hitting the back of the net to make either of those happen.
  9. As will ownership. I think, though, that they have stuck to their principles in the past and this is just another example of it. If we gain CL it will have been a big gamble that was won. If we gain Europa it's a pass. I really don't see us falling out of the European spots so I think it shows confidence in Eddie and the squad to keep things rolling and hope for no major injuries in the center. I also think that had a qualified CM loan presented itself they would have snapped at it.
  10. I went with 7. Got some guys off the books. Brought in some for the future. I like the Gordon signing. Would have liked some cover at CM
  11. Elliot Anderson will qualify. They will have to run with just 23 players if no one else can qualify. Dummett will be back next year. That's all I got.
  12. I was an ardent hater of his but, imo, he redeemed himself somewhat with his fitness and play last year. Had he been healthy from the start i think the club would have been happy to extend him. But, since he wasn't I'm sure the club told him that he's no longer in our plans for next year so he'd likely sit and not trigger the extension. Wood and Shelvey are both part of a limited rebalancing which I'm fine with. Just surprised that it came in January and with Shelvey, this late in the window. Hopefully someone is queued up to replace.
  13. I like him and have followed him quite a bit since last season. I think he'd be a good addition to the squad. We could buy and hold and when we outgrew him he could be sold for a decent price.
