****ing hell man. They cannot help themselves.At my mate’s wedding do at Bowbirn hall today. Watching the England game in the bar sat next to a mag.
He literally turned and said that Newcastle have the best midfield 3 in the premier league in Tonali, Bruno and Joelinton.
Then went on to say the same about their front three on Isak, Gordon and Barnes.
Nonidea why they haven’t won the league yet. When I said none of those players get in ahead of Rodri, De Brutne etc. he argued again!
Ironically, another mag who is here couldn’t look him in the eye and agree. He knows how embarrassing it sounds!
The 6 players mentioned there are very good (jury is out on Tonali and Barnes as they haven't played enough games) - I'm a huge fan of Isak and I think Joelinton is a beast of a player
BUT
There is a reason they are playing for a team that is essentially a top of middle table and not a Man City, and Arsenal or even a Chelsea. Newcastle fans are desperate to consider themselves part of the elite, but in reality - apart from the odd anomaly over the last 20 years - they are miles away from being an establish top 6 side. The truth of the matter is that if City, Arsenal, Liverpool etc came calling for any of those players listed, they would be away like a shot.
Newcastle fans know this. They KNOW they know this, but through some sort of misplaced bravado they will never admit it.
Arrogant, deluded ****s.
