Interpolic

5 attackers in the 26 seasons since the PL was formed

How respectful of them.

Ermahgerd it's Ross, it's Ross, it was him all along!

It's a very strange list when you look at it properly like. A lot of steady eddies who probably didn't do a lot wrong. 90s "glory" years we had players like Lee Clark, Venison, Darren Peacock, Watson winning it ahead of all of our flair players, goalscorers, playmakers etc. Also amazed Santon and Bernard won it once each and had no idea Ciaran Clark won it last year

Knew straight away the headline loss and wage costs didn't look anywhere near right like, what a load of fucking bollocks.

Wtf, isn't he one of their best players? Googled it and seems he's had run-ins with Martinez.

International class foul there.

Yeah I think we have more PL points against Villa than any other side, don't we? Partly due to them being almost ever-present and often mediocre, but our record against them the last 25 years is actually pretty good IIRC. Record vs Fulham in the PL is much worse I think. Would still prefer Fulham went up mind, it's a fun away trip other than the result and I like their side.

Good name for an Orbital best of album once they decide to call it a day.

What the fuck. See, that sounds about right. How the fuck do we have an "operating loss" of £90m?!

Didn't realise until today that this monster wants to bankrupt the club.

A £90m loss (given incoming transfer fees and parachute payments) and such a high wage bill don't sound right whatsoever like.

Just the way it was at the time. https://www.newcastle-online.org/forum/index.php?topic=48631.0 Some belting quotes for McClaren in there If only we knew what lay a decade ahead and we'd give him 80mil That list. It was super-close to being Redknapp until he decided his dogs would get too homesick.

I know. I can barely remember a mistake he's made. Not even English and I'm rattled. It's crazy. We go from losing every single game to prolonged top half form entirely based on his presence. For a 22 year old he's ridiculously influential yet he barely even had any hype from the press in the same way Shelvey has a bit lately.

Don't understand this patter about picking versatile players when you have a 23 man squad. If you simply pick 2 players for every position it's generally always fine and you end up with loads of players not even featuring.

Do you think he's international class? 100%. Confident it will be proven in time as well. Well, we agree he might well be 'in time' as I alluded to earlier. He's ready now, the reason it will take time to be proven is that he hasn't been given a chance.

Everything alright in here, I heard a Telling It Like It Is Klaxon?!

We were buying almost exclusively French, Dutch and African players until a few years ago tbf.

Because the football is joyless and he's a fat obnoxious bellend, he never builds up any goodwill with his employers that you might get when being perceived to be building something, playing football on the deck or being a decent person who accepts responsibility. Ehhh. It's Everton. Martinez's tenure was slightly livelier than Moyes' but i've never associated them with "fun to watch" tbh. I'm strictly talking about footballing reasons here, not the fact he's a turd golem btw. I get and agree with that. They should just be careful what they wish for. I'm just saying that's the reason fans/owners get sick of him sharpish and he simply gets binned. The goodwill towards him is non-existent, so "football reasons" aren't enough to persevere with him. You know what you're getting with Allardyce, in a bad way. Stability for a while but it's ugly and it's not leading anywhere.

An entertaining read. http://www.planetfootball.com/nostalgia/tony-dorigo-on-david-batty
