Are you not forgetting about Newcastle's extravagance when they paid £15 million for Wor Shearer which was a record at the time.:)

Well there's the blueprint to beat Man City. A team with better attacking options can copy that and do it. Many will view it as negative but City were knackered and there for the taking come the end. I don't mind them doing an invincible to be fair though.

I'm really starting to change my opinions on Pep. He's really starting to look like a Managerial God.

And Jose is increasingly looking like yesterdays man.:D

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Very pleased with our performance today, we could easily have won that.

I wonder if the FA will do anything about youngs deliberate elbow that was caught on camera........

Nike have basically announced Coutinho to Barcelona. :erm:

Ashley Young though, a great snake of English football. I guess he's passed flopping to the ground. Isn't even a hard decision for the FA. Whilst there at it. They should retrospectively ban him for his dives over the years. That should set him into retirement.

Its not nice having it in for someone but the guy really is one of the most prolific cheaters the premier league has seen. If Roy Keane thinks you're a disgrace you're definitely doing something wrong.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

It will be very sad to see him go officially at the end of the season as he has enriched the Premier league but a club is always bigger then one player.

Sadly in football cheats prosper nowadays as the authorities worldwide have given carte blanche to it in these last 20 years due to their clear inactiveness to act on it by punishing those who do it with a stern deterrent

Arsene Wenger not happy with the referee it seems and for once l agree with him..

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Absolutely Den.

Mike Dean is a disgrace. :mad::td:

I can't wait for the day when we finally get video decisions during a match.

On another note, the idiot young gets a deserved 3 match ban. :)

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

It certainly can't make things any worse Julian and with all the other major leagues having it its about time it arrived.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Mike Dean gonna Mike Dean. What can you do?

What's annoying is that he booked Cech after the game for questioning him. He booked Wilshere in the aftermath but that looked like Wilshere got too angry and deserved it. Cech however seems quite reasonable and didn't look too animated other than asking the question.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Leaks claiming the Saudi Royal family will be the new owners of Newcastle United in the coming weeks. It's been claimed it's going to be announced on Saturday but that seems premature.

Can see previous posts about the implications of being a state owned football club. :erm:

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Good grief another poor penalty decision.:(:td:

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Agreed, then Yoshidas deliberate handball at OT may have been a game changer.:(

The player himself admitted he got away with it.

Very soft penalty again tonight.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Gary Neville oh what a pundit... :no::no:

English assistant coach a complete and utter disaster
Valencia head coach well the less said about that the better...

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Soft , very soft, but not as bad as Mike Deans one at West Brom.
