Geordie Ahmed

The only thing I do find concerning is the backup to Emery being Howe, the drop from Emery to Howe is pretty big, surely they could find someone in the middle ground Still, at least Howe knows how to get a team promoted from The Championship, that's likely to come in handy

It's been twisted what he said. He talks about not being able to do anything about the blueprint being out there but that he can coach to resolve it. Hopefully his coaching is shite and they keep losing

What? Surely he didn't say that

Moments FC strike again

I'd rather they didn't even make the play offs but surely even they will not cock up that badly

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
