"Not to worry lads as we don't need to win til November"

Massively pretentious ponce who actually knows fuck all about anything.

Reckon the players will have been told some home truths yesterday.

Does back to basics mean that what we've been doing so far has been too complicated? As from what I've seen so far the players make it look very easy. Pretty basic actually.

It was so obvious to anyone who knows anything about football that Rafa was getting far more out of these players than their ability would usually allow. Our owner knows nothing about football, yet him and his mates like to go on like they know better than people who have succeeded in the game over many years. Can't deny it's really nice to see it blow up in his fat stupid face yet again, and as others have said when we go down we'll stay down a while this time. No way you'll see the stars aligning the way they did the last 2 times.

Whoever said he'd throw Joelinton under the bus was spot on then

Was a good decision for me to go out for a walk at HT seemingly. Just saw the score and laughed, really not feeling anything about the club these days.

Did we graft though, really hope we grafted

Based on the first 5 minutes I'll be amazed if we don't get beat here

Yeah, this 2 weeks running and makes zero sense.

This is what PFMs do, they take pride in blagging everything and carrying on like it's all easy and the foreigners are the idiots for putting some effort in.

I wish people would let me avoid things in peace You're on the football section of a Newcastle United message board, Ian.

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-gary-neville-carragher-16749548 Some real misinformed garbage in here from Neville. Apparently Steve Bruce is about our level and Rafa was shit anyway.

He's clearly not been paying attention. I've been watching Newcastle for over 25 years and can't recall us ever having less issues with injuries than when Rafa was here. At times in our history we've had epidemic levels of injuries but was never more than a handful the last few years.

It's frightening that manager and players are coming out with this. 2 shots on target and couldn't even get anywhere near their goal 2nd half when we had apparently thrown caution to the wind.

Lying comes so naturally to him. A perfect fit for the role.

The absolute gall of this little flid acting high and mighty about player investment after over a decade of underspending and one summer just gone when our net spend was about a par for once (and still only about 1/5 of our turnover). Stop trying to argue with Rafa about football you tit, you're making yourself look really fucking stupid. "Perfectly adequate" ffs :lol: £30m net spend this summer leaves £90m from just the TV Money alone to be spent on the academy and training ground. How does the club pay wages to players then? Well that's just the TV money. Our turnover 2 seasons ago was almost £180m. Spending £30m net then claiming we are skint with that kind of turnover means the sums don't add up and lies are being told again.

Been a really entertaining game, this.

Good sides almost always get lavished with praise as we rightly were under Keegan and Robson. Anyone slagging us off during that time would have been slaughtered or ignored. But any time we've dropped from that position the "who the hell do they think they are, expecting success?" narrative starts from pundits with a chip on their shoulder about Newcastle then gets parroted by fans all over the shop.

Don't think all of Charnley's quotes in response to Rafa have been posted? https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11678/11785249/newcastles-lee-charnley-hits-back-at-rafael-benitez-claims The absolute gall of this little flid acting high and mighty about player investment after over a decade of underspending and one summer just gone when our net spend was about a par for once (and still only about 1/5 of our turnover). Stop trying to argue with Rafa about football you tit, you're making yourself look really fucking stupid.

Dummett's about 8/10 without the ball and about 2/10 with the ball. In this age where everyone's a good footballer regardless of position it's not really good enough to get away with.

Bruce can just bring them to Wet & Wild instead, it'll be a lovely day out.

If you're reading this, hi Lee. Hope your life gets fucking ruined m8

Good piece but I dont think its a big mystery whats going on. To me there seem to be to types here. 1) The obvious trolls like Richard Keys or Talksport who just try to make ludicrous claims to get a reaction/clicks/views/callers what ever. 2) The ones who have it in their best interest to keep a steady interest in every day events at the football club for business reasons. Who's fit for Saturday, what did Jonjo eat for breakfast today etc. These are the ones who tow the "lets move on and focus on football" line like the local papers. The whole of Newcastle boycotting the football club isnt good business for anyone in the media. Do agree but I think there's a 3rd type personally - people within the football media who have always hated Newcastle, who begrudged us having one of the best teams around in the 90s and 00s, who are delighted to see us back "in our place" now and therefore talk Ashley up or play his disastrous ownership down at every opportunity. They want us to fail and Ashley is the perfect man to facilitate that.

Implies Ashley is a proven and consistent liar when in reality you have to look at each situation as it comes.
