Like who? Have we ever had best players? We have had some talented players who have got fat... We can't go all the way back to Shearer etc, that was so long ago its irrelevant
Yes our best players are all better than most of our other players mate Basically anyone that anyone good wants
You cant really argue with the Captain, he's always right. Just to prove his point, Shane Ferguson has gone for good now.
Rather than start a new thread, this one had the correct title for how i'm feeling. I'm delighted that Rafa Benitez has taken over until the end of the season and it certainly gives us the best chance possible. After watching the derby, it made me realise that Newcastle United simply don't have enough good players to stay up. Defensive mistakes / frailties are being reduced but it's all come a bit too late. The game at Norwich is now more important than the derby but I honestly think we'll lose. Rafa is a supreme tactician but he is working with poor quality players and has nowhere near enough time to get his ideas across properly. Mike Ashley has acted too late in employing Rafa and I think we all recognise that we face another Ashley-era relegation. It seems he (and we) will never learn.
