Plays with Lewandowski at international level. Some Pole.
Pardew had his eye on him. No chance. Pipe dream.
Anyway, once we've got Remy back, we'll be firing on all cylinders.
I wouldn't be surprised with a draw out of this one, then again, a 5-0 defeat wouldn't surprise me too. One thing I do know is - if we draw, it'll feel as 'meh' as a 5-0 defeat would feel.
You may not have noticed but players who have come to us with a mackem connection always seem to get better treatment from us than anybody with a connection to us gets from a lot of your fans.
I genuinely don't see it. Aren't Johnson and Colback both Newcastle fans? As long as the stuff on the pitch is right then I doubt anyone cares.
You don't see it..?
Were you alive when Venison and Bracewell were in our promotion side and welcomed from Day 1..?
We also had Montgomery as GK coach for a few years, and if you go back to the 80s there was Alan Brown on loan who was very popular and Joe Harvey signed Stan Anderson in the 60s...
Incidentally nearly ALL of these players thought NUFC was a better club because of the fans....
Wasn't there a story doing the rounds a while ago about Bracewell giving a speech at a mackem players wedding not long after he joined us?
God forbid!
Thing is, they're playing good football and they are a joy to watch, at times. Just signed Jack Lester, manager has been able to bring him out of retirement. See if he helps maintain the push.
