They are in the best place they've been in 10 years, and can genuinely focus on looking forward with the potential they have in their squad. So much wasted energy focusing on speculating what imaginary Newcastle-fans think rather than just enjoying what they currently have and what it can be.

Agree, but when they're talking about their midfield plodders going for prices that would frightening Chelsea off its amusing. Seem to recall their last 40-50m player went for about 15m and looks every bit the championship player he is/was

Aye, the fella who was going to absolute destroy a severely out of form Tripps and who went on to spend  the full match curtailed inside Tripps' pocket!

let me see if I've got this right

The only people that obsess over 'top dogs' the handful of times its happened in their lives and sequences of wins, that milked getting to a cup final relative to us and having one more seat aren't remotely jealous about being behind their hated rivals as per usual, being brushed aside with more ease than Bromley, seeing us get to and currently sweating us returning to a cup final, being absolutely decimiated in attendance comparisons as usua, who currently have half their team as England, Brazil and Italy internationals whilst having had Shearer captain England for years following Gazza as the star player and era of Sir Bobby and Bryan Robson manager and captain before that.

- but it crushes us that its vaguely plausibly possible they may have two future England captains that will be long gone from there should it ever happen?!

They'll never be able to enjoy their own club as long as we are doing well. It's always been NUFC first and their own team 2nd. Their crowd on Saturday was no great surprise. They've been struggling to pull in a crowd for league games, often over egging the actual attendance by some 10/15k people, occasionally more, despite being in the Promotion frame all.season.

 

Whilst we are flying they've got absolutely nothing, and it shows.
