  1. You brought on Paul Dummet 5 times, 4 of those were for 1 minute each when you were winning the game. Paul Dummett was never forced to start a game for you. Likewise, Ritchie made 13 sub appearances, many of those were 1 or 2 minutes. Never forced to start him even once. Rememeber, facts facts facts. Not what you think is true. This was my point mate. You're reinforcing it. Man United and Chelsea had significant, season long injuries before the season started and they weren't included in those lists. So exactly aye, it doesn't matter if they're injured before the season starts, they're still not available to play.
  2. Not my stats to be fair. Also your link, it doesn't include players injured before the season started. Same as the BBC one, so you're not top even at that point, Man United and Chelsea are. And I wouldn't say your season was over. You were 3 points behind us in January and 4 off the European spots.
  3. Miley played the 1200 minutes across the entire Premier League season. It's barely a third of games. Remember please, facts, not opinions.
  4. See above for indisputable facts, all on the BBC website. Cheers.
  5. I am not trolling. We had the worst injury crisis. Newcastle fans seem to think it was them, despite never being down to even third choice in any position. We were on our 7th choice centre back. Most time-loss injuries = Man United (Chelsea were second, Newcastle third) Most individual injuries = Spurs (Man United joint second, Newcastle joint third with Chelsea) Most players out injured in a single week = Man United/Newcastle/Chelsea/Luton all joint first Now to the only metric that Newcastle were clear at the top of, which was days lost to injury. It's there on BBC to see, but if you don't look at it through black and white tinted sunglasses, it clearly states that it doesn't include players who were injured before the season began, so it doesn't include Mainoo, Malacia etc. for us, and it doesn't include Fofana for Chelsea. So, most days lost to injury, if you include players injured from before the season started = Man United (Chelsea second, Newcastle third) Yes, we all know about Tonali. It wasn't an injury. Yes we all know Man United and Chelsea have squads that cost hundreds of quintillions. I mean, didn't you hear Man United paid £89m for Pogba? It doesn't matter and it's not the debate at hand. Man United had, by some way, the worst injury crisis last season and Chelsea were next, not Newcastle. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm only going on facts, but if you want to use something else to justify it that's cool too. It is a forum for sharing opinions.
  6. Ehhh. We can live with this one.
  7. If you don't think we had the worst injury crisis last season you need your head checked like. But I've went over it 10 times already with indisputable facts and don't need to revisit.
  8. So both are worse than they initial reported. Great. Worst injury crisis in the league again this season then. Another Ten Hag miracle required.
  9. At least someone is taking the high ground. Celebrating an 18 year old getting injured ffs.
  10. Not at all, just saying his style is chaotic. Can be successful with the right players though. Fully behind him.
  11. The more I think about it, I'm not sure it's a deal that makes any sense for us unless AWB wants to leave to be a guaranteed starter. Dalot is and will be first choice, so we're essentially swapping AWB for Mazraoui, but losing a valuable skill set with his departure as Mazraoui is quite similar to Dalot. AWB does have glaring positional weaknesses mind, which are even more exposed with Ten Hag's chaotic Man United, so maybe he's just not trusted in that system. Would have been fine with him leaving last season but a little bit sad about it now. He'll be good for West Ham.
  12. It was but just a tweak so 1-2 weeks recovery and sounds like he'll be ready for Fulham. Might miss the Community Shield next week as a precaution. Gutted about Yoro like not going to lie. Can't deal with defensive injuries again this season.
  13. Looking like 8 weeks for Yoro. Hojlund is fine.
  14. He had pretty strong numbers contribution wise for a box to box midfielder last season as well. 5 goals and 7 assists nothing to be sniffed at. The price seems to be £30-35m for him which seems quite cheap. He's an upgrade on players like McTominay and probably Eriksen now in the centre of the pitch. I'd take him with zero issue.
  15. Fraser on £42k was the most shocking one for me.
  16. Capology has Kelly on £150k a week and marked as verified. https://www.capology.com/club/newcastle/salaries/ You can debate the accuracy of this, but they're bang on for us anyway.
  17. I'd take Gallagher in a heartbeat. Seems to be wildly underrated by many.
  18. I just know everything about football mate. When it's comes to venues and licenses, I'm out of my depth.
  19. Best centre back we've had since Vidic. A Rolls Royce of a defender. Too injury prone though and good to get the massive wages off the books as he's aging. Funny enough, it was £34m we paid initially, which was an absolute bargain. The £7m in add ons were success based and we only activated some of them over the last 18 months. Worth it.
  20. He's not really involved in transfers anymore. De Ligt and Mazraoui are purely coincidental. They do make sense mind.
  21. Mourinho did this to Schweinsteiger in 2016 and proceeded to win two trophies. Just saying.
  22. Get ya tax money out lads, Sir Jim is coming to town.
