I dunno about improved, think weve had 7 out and 2 in, arguably we are weaker as a squad than last year. We stilll need 2 in possibly 3, but i think fsg have closed up for the window now cos thats how thay roll
I know hence give us 5th place now lol. The thing is say we finished 6th, get out of the CL group, or even finish 3rd in group and get to quarters/semi's of europa it will still have been quite a good season but because we overachieved and got CL last season, some people will see it as a let down. I still think Howe needs to win something ASAP though as the board aren't here to not be winning stuff, we don't know now patient or not they will be with managers yet.
I'm beginning to wish Newcastle had finished 7th or 8th and we'd not be seeing unrealistic expectations returning. All those years of denial regarding unrealistic expectation claims and claims we only wanting a club that tries but low and behold the truth has been uncovered.
In a way getting to the final and losing has inadvertently put him under a bit of pressure, cos if it happens again it won't be a good look, unless it's against man city but even wigan beat them once in a final.
Was saying this should happen at the time when it took him 45 minutes just to get off the pitch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66650729
I think i got over the cup final quicker than i have this game like, what a ****ing pisser that was man.
