Think the idea was to counter, but the distribution was poor, just aimless hoofing for the most part. Merino's looked handy when he came on. Gayle didn't look completely fit either.

Re: The hardest Championship ever?

However difficult it is, we'd be in the flight of our lives in the PL next season if we go up. We're a long long way from even looking at being a top half side (assuming we go up) and 17th will be our aim next season. Desperately need to add quality in key areas, traditionally there used to always ...

Re: Sissoko to Spurs (CONFIRMED)

£30m is hilarious. Good to see him gone, but he'll definitely be a better player for them than for us. Not 30m quality, but he likely won't completely flop. He had Pardew, Carver, and McClaren for most of his time at Newcastle. If you ask a violin player to let a gorilla do the conducting, he's goi...

Great window, I'd expect us to bring in one or two in January purely due to the AFCON, maybe Judge will come up again.

Re: The Daryl Murphy Thread (Fee Agreed)

Please say the rumoured 5m fee is a joke. He is 33 ffs! I don't think it's a terrible signing, but that price is 3.5m too high.

Newcastle United 4 vs 1 Reading - 17/08/16

http://toonblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/nclreafor.jpg Life in the Championship could hardly have got off to a worse start after successive defeats have us languishing in the relegation zone. We remain favourites with the bookies to win the league, but today feels like a must win. We are al...

Re: Weekend Football (6th Aug - 7th Aug)

I think we'll be slow burners. Can see us being around 6th after ten games then slowly creep up the league when we get to grips with it. Certainly won't be like last time where we just powered the division. Agree that I can see Sheff Wed having a great chance at automatic promotion too. Completely ...

Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 16/17)

Now I love Mitro, but I can definitely see the upsides of selling Mitro and it wouldn't surprise me if Rafa wanted to. However, this window isn't the time to do it. Let him have a season under Rafa and reassess it next summer. If he is still costing us with silly reds, let him go.

Re: Fulham vs Newcastle Preview 05/08/2016

It was frustrating, but not the end of the world. I think we are going to start slow and hang around the 4th-8th places until around October, where we will start to fly. Next two home games are crucial, need to get ourselves on the board early, because our away form is going to take a while to fully...

It's going to be tight and I f***ing hate playing at Craven Cottage. Hopefully we win, but could see a draw.

33 goals in 368 games for club and country, think we should continue looking for one.
He is the solution in the short term given his Championship record last season, but will be less of a goalscorer when we go up.
