You cunts buying McTominay or what? Fucks sake.

There are similarities. For example Antony might also be good enough to play for a Saudi team.

The difference in football going from Howe to Mourinho. You absolutely do not want Mourinho. It's miserable.

I must say, reading this thread makes me feel like a bit of a hopeful idiot. I absolutely believe we can finish in the top 4/5, and I don't see why Newcastle shouldn't still hope for that as well. Howe and Ten Hag both have a track history of being streaky managers who go on long winning runs. With a lot of players to come back for both teams I do still think there's 5/6 teams in the top four race. I'll delete this when Forest beat us tomorrow.

There is no Man Utd fella.

Nice.

Warmed my heart reading this. He was unbelievable yesterday, and easily MOTM in my opinion.

Not outright, but there has been plenty of thinly veiled posts about how fatigue cannot be blamed anymore and how he has to turn it around quickly. About how much pressure he's going to be under and how PIF will be looking at other managers. The knives are certainly being sharpened. He deserves at least the full season and another two windows IMO.

We're in a similar enough situation I feel. It's easy to resonate.

Mental reading this thread as an outsider. My thoughts: Are you in poor form? Yes. Is fatigue/injuries to blame? Yes. Should Howe also take blame? Yes. Should Howe be sacked? Only if you're a fucking mentalist. The guy took over a relegation threatened side and has had four windows, one of which you were signing players like Chris Wood just to stay up. We realistically shouldn't even be talking about Newcastle breaking into the top four yet, yet you finished fourth in his first full season in charge. He's a victim of his own success.

And that kid is pure quality. Always in the right position for the cross. Just another player for us to destroy.

I think I'd rather host another sheep quiz than watch us atm.

Injuries and fatigue.

That's Garnacho for you. He's got bags of ability and is very direct, but makes some terrible decisions. He's 19 though. It'll hopefully come.

Donny signed with another team and still on the bench.

Make the injuries stop please.

A half time meat and potato pie and bottle of carling at Old Trafford is top notch. It's not called the theatre of dreams without reason.

We've been begging for a director of football for years. If Ashworth was to come in and we're suddenly signing competent players who don't sit on their Playstation instead of coming to training then he's going to get the credit. I can only speak for myself and the fans I talk to, but there's very little expectation from us. A title challenge any time soon is laughable. We just want to be competent and consistent.

Oh I've seen it. Newcastle Online went and done a Red Cafe. Trippier has been a great player for you over the last 18 months.

Incredible how opinion changed on this guy once we started getting linked. No concrete sources from our end reporting this yet. Wheeler isn't totally unreliable, but I'll believe it when I see it. I don't understand why someone would come from Newcastle to us now given the trajectory of the two clubs, but I suppose the appeal of being the man responsible of taking us back to the top is very appealing. He would be treated like a God.

It's win/win for them. If Ratcliffe turns it around, they profit. If Ratcliffe fucks it up they still profit and can absolve themselves of any blame for what happened on the pitch. This situation is exactly what they wanted and it's why they turned down the Qatar offer.

This situation suits the Glazers down to the ground.

6 league starts in 3.5 years. He must have been woeful in training.

Honestly, as bad as we've been this season, we annihilated Chelsea. I can't see any other result than a comfortable Newcastle win.

He's our top centre back target also.
