Week going well for them so far!

I am starting to think that unfortunately they won’t go down.

Just one win this season but only three points to safety. At some point they will be starting to win a few games and that might be enough.

Two new players in January might be enough to turn it around and they can easily bring in 4.

Yeah, few other clubs are also in the mix; but we always hope.

They are really quite fortunate that this year there are four absolutely woeful sides in the PL.

Ah, but they can’t go down, they won the league in September.

Would prefer Burnley to go down.

Woeful against everyone else but us. Just watch them on Thursday.

1004

I know what you mean, yet another team treating a game against us, as if it’s their cup final. I’m just not sure Newcastle are good enough or disciplined enough, to defend for 90 minutes.

TĂ´ be fair we did beat Southampton, Watford and Norwich with ease.

Burnley gave us a game but the others even Everton were shocking.

Will start as a trickle but the floodgates will be opened soon enough.

Hope we fuck them up big time on Thursday.

Never in doubt :man_shrugging:

Thing is if they actually stopped this fully it would benefit the league considerably but then Man City wouldn’t be able to cheat the system so easily.

Can see them make a move for Dele Alli.

only way I can see the EPL clubs on the cusp of European play to survive the Newcastle flood of money, is to not do business with them. if Newcastle cannot retain or obtain any domestic or home-grown talent, won’t that affect their roster size @Kopstar

Yes, most likely but I can’t see that being an issue beyond this season.

assuming they end up being relegated (which would be fantastic karma) then I would hope that the domestic black-ball by other clubs would be somewhat maintained and see how they struggle to get enough talent in to stay afloat.

it’s a pipe dream, but a nice one. we all know, money talks
