    love Jake to bits. He gets us 100%. That’s why BT coverage knocks spots of Sky and BBC who are full of **** and agendas IMHO.

    bruce out.

    Tbh my expectation is actually 17th.

    It's not rocket science that's what the owner of the club sells and that's why I stopped going.

    If you're going to pay and go then you should be happy with what's on offer because they're quite open and honest about what they're selling ie a relegation battle.

    There's no miss sell.

    I also think the fans that keep banging on about his 'our club' thing need a dose of reality... Sorry I hate the world, but it's actually not your club it's Mike ashleys club and you're invited to buy a seat at his club and at his ground.

    Sad facts im afraid gentlemen

    Now now, Captain. It's his club only on paper, as you well know. Its ours in our blood, as you well know.

    Told you the truth and you didn't like it, so you dismissed it.

    @the #Cans Master

    Perhaps you could explain what was wrong?

    Surely its actually more exciting being in a relegation battle than finishing comfortably safe mid-table but with no chance of winning anything?

    I actually agree with that, but it's also not good for my cortisol level and that effects my health and wellbeing

    **** relegation battles, I'd like to see us win more games and see people say "Newcastle's a tough game."

    I find absolutely no excitement in losing again, again and again, before picking up a win and saying "ok, we are now mathematically 3 points safer."

    Its absolutely ****ing ****

    Big Dan Burn telling the nation they're right

    “As a fan base we are like that anyway. We always get ahead of ourselves. It has been like that since I was a kid. We have to be realistic, the way we look at the takeover and how we are building our squad.

    The ones that chased out Bobby are the reason for all this.

    Well, the reality is we were like 4th in the table at one point for form. We have the richest owners in the world. I don't have much doubt we'll one day be challenging for Europe, but it's not simply Newcastle fans that have high expectations of us, I've seen plenty of pundits back us for a top 6 finish.

    The reality is this time last year we were the worst team in the division, bound for relegation. Top 10 would be a good finish.

    I expect us to finish 8th.

    So you don’t demand a team that tries. You demand a team that wins every game.

    Fair enough!

    Indeed. What’s the point if you’re happy with losing?

    Totally agree. Never ever seen the point in playing for a draw.
