I like Shola (cards on the table here). But I think for whatever reason he’s not remembered fondly by sone fans despite goals v s*nderland, Barcelona, bayer l and some decent performances albeit not enough. But people need to remember he played for years with an injury, was a decent pro and is a local lad done well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea he was good that day, but if you needed proof for the existence of the multiverse through an average Newcastle player socring in the Champions League, surely it has already been proven?

Geordie Ahmed Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Although I wanted as easy a group possible I'm actually really excited about this group These are such fun fixtures and to my knowledge we've never played any of these clubs before so that adds to the excitement And maybe I'm just a bit giddy at the moment but I genuinely think we can do well and get out of the group. The competitiveness of the group means it probably won't take a huge amount of points to go through. Plus I don't really fear those sides, they are a level below the elite teams and they are going through a transition phase having lost their best player of key player(s). And finally I think we play a style of football that they will hate to face, it won't be something they are used to facing and with the atmosphere at home I can see us doing well. What an experience it will be for all involved. Can't wait for the fixtures and for the games to get going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Tbf, wouldn’t our previous group have been tougher than this one? Barca, Inter and Bauer Leverkusen who were in the final two years prior? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Yeah, just checking and they finished 15th of 18th in the Bundesliga that season, with only 40 points from 34 games. They had a Franca or someone who wasn't particularly good either. That was actually the 2nd group stage when we played them, so technically the last 16 as well, rather than last 32, so you'd expect tougher sides. Leverkusen were in an initial group with Man Utd (lost twice) Olympiacos and M Haifa, and lost 6-2 in Greece - they were pretty much a gift, lost every match in our group with a -10 GD. There will surely be no whipping boys this time around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Not going through 20+ new pages for this. But has anyone mentioned Mbappe's reaction when Griezmann bought him for Newcastle on FM?

I just want us to have the biggest possibility of winning. We’re you chuffed to draw Man City in the league cup ? And you can't go all the way if you draw big teams aye? Or you avoid them all together if you draw minnows? Can't get my head around that want either, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
