Maggies

We have 5 or 6 clubs who want to limit competition. Then we have 10 or so clubs happy just to do enough not to be relegated/finish mid table, with owners limiting how much they need to invest. Then a handful of clubs with ambitions but hamstrung by the rules set by the others. I don’t understand fans of those 10 or so mid tables teams, who are blinded by lights of the Premier League and are happy to never compete.

Yasir back on Tyneside this weekend.

Weren’t City after damages as well for loss of earnings. Let’s hope they’re substantial! Any idea on what the ATP votes was going to be about today?

Haha wish I had that power! Good news it’s a home time and if we win it, then a few other top teams should be heading out as well.

Would like to avoid Chelsea. Rest of them will focus on Europe so will play weakened teams. any idea what time the draw is and our ball number?

PIF increased their holding by 5% when Staveley left recently. They could have easily left it to Reuben family. That’s evidence enough for me that they’re still committed. Plus experiences of people on here who have worked for Saudi companies mentioning everything just takes time.

Let’s rearrange at St James’ and give them a bit extra from ticket sales to repair their ground.

Will we be able to wear any of our three shirts against Brighton away?

Worrying part for me is that the level of performance isn’t improving regardless of who plays. Feels like the beginning of the end. Big few weeks coming up.

Over a year now of these awful away performances

5 chances created today. Willock - Bruno - Tonali is the starting midfield moving forward.

Shouldn’t be starting, but not his fault he is.

Would guess so. How long does that keep you out for? Or will we see a masked Isak against Fulham?

Southgate-esque insanity so far

Worst part is that we’ve already seen this season how poor it is… makes no sense. Hopefully we’re still level after an hour so Howe can do his usual triple sub.

Nailed onto to be a repeat of the Bournemouth match. Hopefully we’re just as lucky this time.

Starting Longstaff and Murphy reminds me of Howe’s stubbornness with Burn at left back last season over Christmas period. It makes no sense.

When old ways included: - worst injury record in the league two season in a row - Botman deciding when he was fit or not - Gordon deciding when he wanted to do gym work Then I can see why Bunce’s involvement has been well received. Hopefully we see a lot less injuries this season.

No. Same message for me.

Not sure how I want this one to play out… A weakened City brings us closer to them on our path of world domination vs. Premier League getting another kicking which hopefully challenges legality of PSR and APT Leaning towards wanting City to hand the Premier League a new one and hopefully opening up our floodgates.

PSR isn’t going anywhere particularly with UEFA imposing their rules soon. What we need is City (or anyone else) to blow away FMV so we can aggressively start increasing our revenues.

First match that we’ve won with Yasir in attendance?

Worst part about Palace is they’ve hit their glass ceiling with no ambition to be better than mid table/staying in the premier league. I understand their owners be like that so they protect their income. But I don’t understand how their fans can just accept permanent mediocrity.

Was the most honest press conference I’ve seen from Howe. Seems frustrated with the whole thing. Multiple targets identified and hours spent by him on scouting - none delivered. Also confirmed money was there and support from PIF. So this window can be squarely blamed on the executives not getting the deals done.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Surely after the Freedman saga, we know how Palace work.
