Newcastle fan here.

Well, I just can't be disappointed with us losing some of our last games. We've had a fantastic season finishing 5th and fought Arsenal and Spurs right till the end for the CL spots.

I like Arsenal more than the other cockney clubs, and I'm glad you got 3rd.

Anyways, congrats, and just saying, I think you'll be immense next season!

I think you'll threaten the top 2, but not quite make it, but be a strong 3rd place team.

I'm just thinking of your team next year, you play the same sort of formation we do, with the two more defensive mids, the one attacking mid and the 3 forwards.

I could see you being like this

Hazard---------RVP-----------Podolski

-------------Walcott**---------------

-------Song--------Wilshere---------

New Lb---Vermalen--Vertonghen---Sagna

-------------Szcezney------------------

** I think Ramsey's a good player, but not good enough. I think Walcott would be much better in that central role. He's a good player, but not top class. But he has great pace, he's a decent finisher and could be lethal behind the front 3 and on the counter attack.

If you could add some depth to some areas, I could see you really pushing for the title in the next few years, but I think City could be just too much to beat for any team. You could perhaps worry Manure for 2nd.

Well done, and I hope to see you playing the sensational passing football again. You don't look the same at the moment, I want to see you passing it around and dominating teams again.

With the line up shown above, I think you can.
 
Yep well done! hey Jayram you wine like a mule but I told you it would be ok! see you next season and hopefully we will compete again. No doubt we will sell one or two of our best players but hopefully we can perform miracles in the transfer market again.
 
Appreciate the friendliness but the team you posted would be awful. With the players you gave this would be better:


Hazard----Podolski----Walcott
------------RVP----------
--------Song--Wilshere-------
Gibbs--Verm---Kosc---Sagna
---------Szczesny----------

Mertesacker should replace Vermaelen if he doesn't pick up his game.


But once again, the friendliness is good, it's just a shame you couldn't beat the spuds to fourth.

Thats a good ****ing team but you need two CB
 
Thanks for the congrats Tash, but i'm not keen on the team you posted. I wouldn't want Eden Hazard anywhere near an Arsenal shirt.
 
We don't. We have four technically fantastic centre backs. You could partner Nesta and Moore and Arsenal would still contrive to ship a tonne of goals. It's our system. Hopefully Bould will instil defensive maturity for next season.

You concede goals though mate.
 
Bizzarely enough hes been linked to us today though i thino its because his quotes have.been misinterpreted when he said he.may be playing in red.next.season but.not the red.of lille. Agree though wouldnt want him. His attitude seems like.nasri
 
BTW Good job on 5th, I wanted you to pip Spurs but considering the situation you were in a couple of seasons ago 5th is a massive achievement for Newcastle

I think this would a bit too offensive, I would see our defense being exposed.
Song and Wilshere, who will be the holding player? Both of them like to move forward, I reckon that Arteta should have his place there. Or M'Vila, who I see more disciplined than Song while carrying out the duties of a holding midfielder.

Do you guys think that Hazard is realistic? He is way too expensive and he seems to change his opinion on his dream club every week.
 
-Podolski---RVP---Walcott---
---------Wilshere------------
-----Arteta-----M'Vila-------
Gibbs Verm Vertonghen Sagna
--------Szczesny-----------

This team would win the league. Make it happen Wenger!
