Re: Football Season 2016/2017
I'm assuming United are actually putting all their eggs on winning the Europa League. Arsenal had to win, still isn't that much easier for them of course, any points Liverpool/City pick up just make it that much worse.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
With Arsenal, Spurs and Saints all away and on there 58th match of the season I for one was not expecting anything else, at least we didn't appear to pick up any injuries to key player in this game.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Jose really needs to change his game plan this sit back and defend then try and score on the break really isn't working well for him.

You should never put all your eggs in one basket, you run by he risk of getting egg on your face.
Utds mammoth unbeaten run is over then, 26 games ago they were 6 points behind liverpool, now the gap has been narrowed to 5

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
The Championship title climax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LrV...ature=youtu.be
The cohesion, the interested players, Rafa Benitez.. Is this really Newcastle United? It's hard to believe. There's a group of Premier League players over the moon to have won the Championship.
Rafulation. Dare I risk the famous.. Back him or sack him?
Onto Europe. Juventus vs Real Madrid final? Ronaldo Hat-trick.

Perhaps that's what you get when you support Liverpool.
Monaco are giving it a real go but they can't defend for toffee. That said some of Juves swift, one touch passing has been tremendous to watch. couldn't see Pogba getting a game.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Benitez and Mike Ashley met to discuss the future of Newcastle United and Benitez. Everything went well, both parties are happy and it's thought they're ready to hit the transfer market with Ashley saying he wants to the club to hit the ground running, rather than hang on for a season.
I can't fathom what money we're talking about to hit the ground running but it's already been suggested there's going to be a minimum of £100m available to throw about, whether that's set to increase is unknown. Edit: Apparently they were talking about spending to the tune of £150 million
What is clear is Newcastle are a different club than they were 2 years ago, in which no manager actually had control over anything, money was spent where Mr Director and Mr Chief scout wanted it to go and it was spent on the 2nd-3rd choice targets over the main one.
So I must have traveled to an alternative universe where Mike Ashley is the best thing for Newcastle besides an oil rich playboy.
Whilst every Newcastle fan is still sitting in the clouds, I may just go stick a bet on Newcastle qualifying for a European spot next year. Where's Robbie Savage at? Anyone fancy a new car?

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Unless I'm wrong, discounting the Champions League trophy in which United have won more recently and even more recent was Chelsea (being the last English winners)
Liverpool would then be the expert on the wooden spoon trophies. Strangely enough they're not.
Since 2010, United have won 3 wooden spoons and 2 golden spoons.
Since 2010 Liverpool have won 1 wooden spoon.
Since 1992 (EPL Era) Liverpool have won 0 golden spoons.
Since 1992 United have won 13 golden spoons
Random facts and nonsense:
Leicester City have one more golden spoon than Liverpool
League one's Blackburn Rovers have a golden spoon.
Newcastle United have 0 wooden spoons and 0 golden spoons. FACT - Rafa Benitez
What I can take from this expert and in depth Analysis is I'd sure as hell back United to win another title and major trophy long before Brendan Klopp does. Tottenham Hotspur being the next new addition to the club of winners.
