Geordie Ahmed

Their season is defined by us so if we get relegated that will be considered a success

Phew, was worried it was gonna get disallowed

Since you put it that way

Can't beat a bit of Macktracking, it's fun to see

Don't think we have any chance of getting Torres, we would need to have CL football I reckon and that's a long way away

They reckon he's shite so surely they'll be voting yes

This is a fanbase that once said they prefer Simon Grayson to Rafa, it's their coping mechanism kicking in again

Chuffed with Emery, if he can bring Moreno and Parejo in January even better

3-0 to them and they'll dish out a footballing lesson

Didn't realise he's a Geordie, the Shearer celebration makes even more sense

The difference between now and 18/19 is the fixtures, they were much tougher in 18/19 If I had to call it now I'd say we are down However, get a new manager in, try and get 3 wins and couple of draws by the time the window opens, get 3-4 decent signings and we have a chance

Surprised he didn't bring the likes of Schar, Fede back in but never mind I hope we announce a manager this week, he is going to need time to work with our players Just got to try and not be too far adrift by Jan

If it was just a manager appointment then you would ordinarily hope a decision would be close if not made already. However a DOF role as well makes it more complicated, it's not a role we currently have so understandably it will take time. If we haven't announced anyone just after the Brighton game then I would be a little concerned.

Barca will probably go for Xavi

I don't think he refused but they were kind enough to give him the time, then 7 months later he pissed all over them the horrible prick that he is

Was intrigued so started watching it but stopped as soon as I heard how he pronounces Gutierrez (1:06 if anyone cares)

But he was harshly sacked by Newcastle, at least that's the narrative being pushed

Wow

The fact that they have tried to spin it as a good thing for them speaks volumes They reckon everyone will hate us (thought they already did), if we do win something it won't mean anything, we'll be upset when we don't sign Mbappe etc etc In reality it's broke them, Ashley was their hope because with him as owner they knew we had a ceiling they could surpass but this takeover changes that even if we get relegated

Watching that and he was right that it had some good stuff but the parts that weren't good, they were unacceptable

From what I recall I thought he spoke quite well about it

He's always been class but he's recently just took it up another level, don't think he took losing out on POTM to Ronaldo too well In terms of Ballon D'Or I think the voting for this year has stopped so think he'll miss out this year but hopefully he can continue this form as he'll run away with it next year

Ole won't quit and he won't get sacked (not yet at least). He'll get a decent result soon enough which will buy him some time It's the can being kicked down the road. They should get rid and bring Conte in

I'm sure they've spent a billion People lay into City and Pep for spending loads (understandably so), Man-U since Fergie aren't too far behind and have nothing to show for it in comparison to City

The fixtures were tougher then from what I recall This time we've had a kind fixture list We are very much in trouble, key is to ensure the gap is no more than 5 points come January. Some smart investment and we'll be in with a chance.
