This is a new era. Not good enough for PSG, not good enough for Newcastle.

'a resurgent Newcastle would be the death of us. Let's be honest, neither of us have had anything to shout about recently so inevitably it turns into a mini league between us because that's all either club have. We still had supporters around me at Brentford yesterday declaring the mags were winning. If they take off and leave us lightyears behind them, what does that leave? I genuinely believe our recent drop in crowds is due to the fact Newcastle are now so far ahead of us. We're literally playing for nothing and when there's nowt to play for most crowds naturally fade. Our crowds wouldn't have dropped below 30,000 this season if we still had Newcastle in our league.sad but true imo.' From RTG (obviously), this is the mentality most of them have but they don't realise we don't follow football to compare ourselves to our rivals like they do. It's really, really strange tbh.

Make your argument, leaver.

Sissoko

The 6 months he spent here represents the only time in his career that Townsend's had much in the way of end product

Not looking too clever for Koeman. I thought he did a good job at Southampton but just watched the game and Arsenal were slicing through them like butter.

Baines to sign by the end of the week, guaranteed

Cabaye was a dirty little coward when he was here but at least he had a bit of talent then. We were quite fortunate but, tbh, Palace got precisely what they deserved for, after a decent first half performance, being so negative after the break. There’s nowt better than seeing a team who’ve cheated and spoilt then rushing about like blue arsed flies trying to salvage something after conceding a late goal. And, if we are taken over and suddenly have a bit of money to spend I hope we sign a player as good as Zaha thinks he is

So you weren't alarmed by the news because most squaddies are thick and join the army to shoot Muslims. Funny how you're often the first to shout racist but have no problem pushing other stereotypes
