I agree it's a sideway step. BVB shouldn't have to lose top players to clubs like Atlético.

It'll be Malky Mackay I reckon. He's worked with their sporting director before.

The real question is: why is that an article? He's a kid ffs.

Can't defend. What absolute nonsense.

Those teams would be packed with Newcastle players.

Career total of 43 goals in 146 games. Better than Riviere who has a career total of 40 goals in 160 games. Neither of them is Shearer, like.

He's not wrong tbf, we expected him to be shite and he has been.

Aye, that was the problem

Alan Pardew reveals plan to emulate Newcastle United's Entertainers in new season http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-pardew-reveals-plan-emulate-7603407

I'd say my ill will towards Pardew isn't mainly based on football factors. But the fact that he's a negative, uninspiring manager doesn't help.

97-99 and 04-09 was a joy compared to this tbh.

That's one season you're talking about. Or do you think 12th, 16th, 10th is "pretty high up in the league"?

Aye.

LEFT BACK!!!

Haidara and even Dummett deserve a run of games before Santon gets back in. And the fact he has no f***ing left peg to speak of. Dummett is terrible, shouldn't be near a PL club. Santon still first choice for me.

This.

7th.

Inverted, aye. Both Adidas.

Bellamy was way more effective, for sure and for a period he was probably our most important player. Dyer had similar problems to HBA I guess. But then neither of them has/had the status Ben Arfa seem to have amongst Newcastle supporters, despite doing way more for the team (Bellamy). That's simply not true. Ben Arfa is moreso because it's ongoing and not ten years ago. Bellamy was absolutely worshipped amongst those who could see what he was worth on the field and it upset me for years afterwards seeing him play for others. I was very much in the Bellamy camp but there was a sizeable proportion of Newcastle fans who backed Souness 100%, and offered some of the exact same arguments - bad attitude, nobody likes him etc. Morons then and morons now. Wasn't it like 50/50 in the Bellamy-Souness feud though? I don't remember Bellamy chants game after game, maybe my memory is failing me.

de Jong will score goals, Riviere will score goals, Cabella will score goals, Chucky, Cissé and Sissoko will score a couple of goals. We need a central defender.

Sort out the fucking dots man!

Pirouettes galore.
