Shows the difference between our club and theirs. I'm not sure raising us spending 30m quid on a player to play him in the wrong role, leaving us short of genuine quality out wide is the best example of us being better than them 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniFox21 Posted 21 April 2020 Share Posted 21 April 2020 (edited) Aurier and Sissoko videoed disregarding social distancing; which would be the 3rd set of Spurs players to do so. Surely at this point the FA has to step in and give some kind of punishment? If they're stupid enough to break social distancing then don't be complete morons and post it online.

Bruce has done a good job this season, more points than Benitez ever had at this stage I think I might be right in saying and when you put that to the fans they're just like yeah but we've just been lucky. They're a weird bunch. And really they have spent some money the last few years. It may have been a bit up and down but aren't they at the same level as when Ashley took over? To be fair to their fans views, they have been lucky. Virtually all statistics in terms of performance have them bottom, but the defence has held out enough then scored enough to see them just about safe. I'm not sure they'll be as fortunate next season if they play the same way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, when are we gonna get off Perez’s back for not being Mahrez... that’s another discussion to be had tho. I like Perez but that doesn't mean he's a 30m quid right winger, like Ricardo isn't a 30m quid goalkeeper Also on the Newcastle takeover, it's tough given Mike Ashley is a belle d but I'd rather be in League 2 than be a sportswashing soft power tool for the Saudis Edited 21 April 2020 by Kopfkino 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not on his back for playing out of position or not being mahrez. In fact, I'm not on his back at all. He is what he is. An average player. In any position. Not top 4 material but that isn't his fault. And at least he tries hard. Edited 22 April 2020 by Toddybad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans have absolutely no say in who takes over their club apart from few cases lower down the league such as Portsmouth and Exeter. Now you'll always get some who do not care where the money comes from as long as it brings success, but others may be welcoming the cash but not the source. But I challenge anyone to just give up following the club, as was suggested yesterday on the radio. A football club isn't a shop or takeaway outlet, you don't just lose interest or refuse to go and feel nothing after it. I completely understand the concerns of people about the takeover group, I also understand why Newcastle fans would welcome a change. Until the league brings in measures about who invests beyond mere financial issues, this is what will continue to happen. Let's just hope we're never faced with it. Where would you draw the line? What is and isn't acceptable to you and your family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Newcastle supporting mate genuinely refuses to talk to me because I pointed this out to him when he said he can't just stop caring about Newcastle. Now he's running back, all ecstatic, despite the fact they're about to become a propaganda tool for a country that doesn't realise human rights exist.

Pliskin Posted 21 April 2020 Share Posted 21 April 2020 Newcastle’s takeover means little in the grand scheme of things. If you go on owners net worth Man City should piss every season. I can’t believe Ashley is selling the club to genuine people, they’re probably a couple of local cabbies taking the piss and actually don’t have two bob between them but he’s that desperate to rid himself of the club he will fetch his own pants down in the process. The fact that there are concerns regarding the take over should set the alarm bells ringing early doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 22 April 2020 Share Posted 22 April 2020 So 'if' the EPL is not completed, Arsenal may be given a UCL place (despite currently lying 9th) - 'if' UEFA choose to award places in next season's competition based upon their co-efficient basis. Seems fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 22 April 2020 Share Posted 22 April 2020 Surely they can at least arrange for the games in hand to be played if they cancel the league. Man City, Arsenal, Sheff Utd and Aston Villa deserve to at least play as many games as the rest of them. This way if Sheff Utd and Arsenal don't win their game in hand there will be no controversy about losing out on CL and EL, and if Aston Villa lose some of the unfairness about their relegation is mitigated.

Unfortunately UEFA said a few weeks back that entry into their competitions was predicated on final standings after completion of a full season. Think that's just in the general rules rather than being a specific got now thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
