    correct, they spend every waking minute trying to convince the world that they should be up there with the top european clubs, based on, erm...... **** all. massive sense of entitlement, while the rest of football completely ignores them, or ridicules them for being so pathetic. sad muppets

    Warren Barton being interviewed on SSN about the mags:

    • New owners taking the club forward after years of neglect
    • 52,000 screaming geordies
    • Eddie Howe the right man
    • Referring to them as "us"
    • Exciting future
    • Comparisons to Man City
    • Should have taken 3 pts against Man Utd

    Yup, ticking all the boxes to curry favour with them. Embarrasing

    I love that point. So badly neglected. How dare the previous owner keep them in a stable, profitable financial position and have them playing season after season in the biggest money pot in the football world? Neglected beyond recognition!!

    They should have beat Man U.....they were the better team on the night.
    But.....that's the best the Mags will play all season, against the worst Man U performance ive seen in years, and they still didn't win.
    Tbh, I can't see any other PL side playing as bad as Man U did....

    What a lot of them don't really grasp us that it was probably their behaviour starting with the badly spelled bedsheets - cockney mafia out protests that stopped Ashley investing more into them. Once they turned on him, why should he put in more than he needed to? He put in enough to keep them in the EPL or get them back at the first attempt, knowing fine well he'd get no credit for any more that he'd do, so at least it preserved his assets' value and made them attractive to eventually being taken over. No massive losses, unlike us, no risk of administration, massive cost cutting or player fire sales, all things that have happened to other clubs or even themselves under Hall and Shepherd. If they'd been more even minded, who's to say that Ashley wouldn't have invested a bit more and gradually grown them to be on the lines of Leicester? A bit of self awareness that they are holding themselves back wouldn't go amiss, but it's not really their way, is it?

    It is a joke how that is the ****e they come out with and I think it was widely accepted by the Premier League fan boys of other clubs. Partly because they had a brief spell under Keegan and then to a lesser extent Robson where they were one of the Premier league top teams but even Robson was 20 years ago.

    The main reason I think it is accepted is that vlubs aren't run this days to keep themselves afloat stay clear of debts that one wrong move and the club will be in administration or at best selling anything not nailed down. In the new era since Chelsea clubs spend more than they make add to their debts every year trying to buy the best players. However, the catch 22 of all of that is clubs are willing to spend so much that the price of players just inflate. A 1st team player that is average Premier League quality is not 3-6million anymore but 13-16million add another 8 or so if they are English. England International you say? 50-60 million.

    And they think Ashley neglected then by not getting into that ****e and piling the debt on? Serious lack of self awareness.

    They are blatantly gaming the system now. Southampton manager rightly saying he had to play a very inexperienced ream last year and got thumped 9-0.

    It is not even known how many of that lot have covid and how many are injured. Is this asked? What proof is delivered? Why are U23 players who have featured no longer counted? What's thw point of having young players?

    All started when Everton managed to get away with a game they didn't fancy because they had some knocks.

    This is where the broadcasters make a lot of money, and I can see them quoting this when the next rights come up. Who wants to pay for something, when you don't know if you'll get what you've paid for?

    Yet more utterly shambolic ( let's be charitable and call it that), from the useless blazers at the PL and EFL.

    Seems like Trippier will be the first name through the door for them, decent-ish enough signing for them, if true.

    He’ll certainly improve them at full back, but that wouldn’t have been hard to do.

    Had a good chuckle at this part….,

    “Lee Johnson’s Black Cats won 28 of their 53 games and could finally end their League One purgatory at the fourth time of asking.

    If they do, and Newcastle continue to stink the place out, a first Tyne-Wear derby in the second tier since 1992 is on the cards.”

    Well if they pay the release fee for Trippier, which I think is £34m, and then some agents fees and signing on fees and no doubt sky high wages, on say a three year deal, they could be shelling comfortably north of £50m for a full back the wrong side of thirty.

    Canny player still, but that's a big chunk of the " £190m" they can supposedly spend this winter. And their best two players are both injured.

    Maybe they can get all their games postponed until they can sign some more players?

    i get the feeling both those players will not be missing for long, as for trippier he popped his shoulder quite recently apparently and we have all seen oniens problems after his popped, granted he may not have the same problems but will it cause him to just take that second longer before committing to a tackle or header, he may never think about it again but he is also at an age where he has nowt to prove and could be happy just picking a wage up and going through the motions...something else we have seen many times over (rodwell and owen being quite recent examples), would still be a damn good first signing for them mind but long term it could bite them in the back end.
