    They'll more than likely be in a relegation battle, mate. Their club is imploding and they can barely field a team.

    Still, 3rd favourites for promotion at kick off after us and Barnsley.

    Benitez is on a winner, if they do well it's him, if they do badly, it's Ashley.

    Meh bookies haven't got a clue mate. That's just going on the club size and having a decent season. Their fans are all predicting relegation. You'll probably get decent odds for that and I think that they will actually drop.

    He won’t walk he’s getting to much money and zero expectations, plus if a decent club wanted him Ashley would sell him.

    I reckon fat Mike is grinding him down until he can't take it anymore and leaves of his own accord. He comes across as being really fed up with it all now. Unless they shock everybody and splash the cash this week, it should be entertaining on Tyneside again, this season.

    I did. Apart from the two centerbacks couldn't be happier at the progress in such a short space of time. Everyone ran their socks off. Some struggled some looked a class above.Played aggressively and never said die. Deserved the win overall. Lots of room for improvement but most of this squad has just met each other so well need time to click.

    Charlton are in a mess by the way fella. We'll play better teams than them this season imo

    I've just placed £25 on Charlton to be relegated at 14/1. They've sold 17 players and brought in just 2. Bowyer as manager and can't even fill a bench. Attendances have dropped from 18k to 6k. That's a club in total turmoil.

    The players have gone on strike and are not participating in any media duties in a protest against player bonuses.

    Trouble indeed!!

    Keith Downie tweeted.

    Newcastle United’s players have withdrawn cooperation with the media as part of a dispute with the club over bonuses for the upcoming season. The players refused to give their time for “walk up” shots for TV companies at the training ground today.

    They're all on Twitter saying Mike is rattled all the while completely foaming. So that's another piece of prestigious silverware for the mags cabinet. The Petition cup. Remember, they're always champions of the world <laugh>

    Some of these MP's these days are just downright embarrassing, jumping on any bandwagon to get their name in the press and curry favour with the masses, without first checking the facts.

    Ashley comes across as an absolute muppet at times but we could have done with a muppet owner like that over the last 10 years.

    Oh yeah, That MP is playing the Fans, Ashley and NUFC. But the Mags can't see it and think this letter shows Big Mike on the ropes. ****ing delusional and that petition is hilarious, as was the number of MPs who turned out in parliament to discuss it. <laugh>

    Another win to Mike by the looks of it.
