    It's a ****ing stupid argument mate. The whole subject should be dropped and everyone involved should just go their separate ways and pretend it never happened. <laugh>

    Size isn't everything or so my lady tells me.

    I think every club is big to it's fan base and the term big is always open to interpretation.

    Take my **** house of a club.

    We're amongst the top 10 best supported teams in Europe:
    http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/row-zed/man-united-arsenal-among-10-6470197

    ... have one of the top 8 turnovers in England, are one of the most profitable clubs in the land.....yet....
    ..... struggle to string a pass together and languish at the foot of the PL table.

    Glancing at the PL table a neutral observer would see us as small.
    An accountant would see us as big.
    A statistician... big.
    A historian... medium to small.
    Most other fans... small to medium.
    Toon fans.. probably large.

    there's no clear cut and meaningful measure of any club IMHO.

    Off course you're a big club. So are we. Not the biggest but we're still a big clubs. Neither are top clubs or anywhere near for that matter.

    As you have said you can argue the toss over which club is the biggest etc etc, it means **** all. All I know is we are utter gash where it counts and have been for a long time.

    Very true, we can be proud of our our footballing heritage all we want but it's the here and now that matters and we're rubbish.

    Great relegation tussle in the late game today. But Newcastle really need to be winning games like this against their rivals if they want to escape the drop <ok>

  11. Indeed, Treble. The Toon will see that as 2 points thrown away, rather than a point gained.

    Mourinho has gained a point. 1 more than he's ever managed at Newcastle tbf so it's an improvement for Chelsea.

  13. Yes, Treble, he can certainly take that as a small positive from today's game. It gives him something to build on for the rest of the season.

    I so hope Jose loses the plot as every time he does it is funny to watch

    It's brilliant the fall from grace. The way his whole persona is unravalling before the camera, it's rather ironic. A kind of "live by the media, die by the media" scenario. I wonder where he'll end up if he does leave?

    Of course. The ref's postman will be dreading the next delivery day. He's going to need a bigger van.

    Atkinson spent too long talking to players apparently. Looks like the Eva situation all over again!
