  1. "We'll find out that it's just a game of inches" As the actress said to the bishop
  2. http://www.statto.com/football/teams/newcastle-united/2016-2017/table/2017-03-04 It's hard to believe that was only 16 days ago.
  3. Finger on the pulse man, all joking aside if you get a chance to watch the QPR match you'll know what i mean. Somethings not right behind the scenes what ever did or didnt happen in January seems to have affected him. I sense inside he's waiting to explode if he's asked the right or wrong question at one of these presser's.
  4. Sort of backs up what i was saying
  5. I just dont get it you'd think the players would be well up for it knowing that only a few points seperate them from this league & the premiership. If thats not an incentive (a premiership player) then shirley the wealth ( sponsorship ) that goes with it should be enough. If neither of those 2 dont work for them what about some good old fashioned pride.
  6. Its still in our hands to get promotion but what happened to all this "we'll piss this league" we should have been promoted as champions by now, whats gone wrong ? Its all turned to shit since the closing of the January window & the QPR game. Rafa's body language changed in the QPR game he was much more animated you can see over the last few games as well. He wahts to say something but he's holding his tongue. I'd imagine he'd say " if only they'd let me strengthen in January"
  7. Any bitterness or vitriol should be aimed at Ashley. If we dont go up there should be anti Ashley protests like never before. Not only would we face another season in this bloody awful league. But the chances are Rafa would be away. Having said that he may well walk even if we get promoted. I know one thing we'll be a worse club without Rafa as manager.
  8. Rafa identified who he needed back in October for the January window. He gave the list to Charnley whom along with Ashley ensured we signed nobody. I tell a lie we got Sammy back off loan.
  9. Dont forget the blame lies at Ashley's door if we dont go up. Its his fault for failing to back Rafa in January
  10. An early first goal for us will be vital to steady the nerves after Monday night.
  11. With 7 games since an away win sorry lads but i think it'll be a 2-2 draw.
  12. Hope Mitrovic can holdvhis nerve/temper as im sure they'll be doing all they can to provoke him
  13. Its the age thing innit if Ashleys messing about again i can't see us signing a 30 year old
  14. 3-0 to us 2 for Murphy & a Jonjo special if Murphy starts. Different game altogether if Mitro starts a bad tempered 1-1 draw with Leeds winding Mitro up trying to get him sent off
  15. Key points from Rafa Benitez's presser - DeAndre Yedlin, Ciaran Clark and Dwight Gayle are all edging close to a return from injury - but Rafa confirmed Gayle will miss the games against Leeds and Ipswich - Benitez insists the focus is on themselves. They won’t be paying attention to other results - The gaffer says they have analysed what they did wrong in Saturday’s defeat to Sheffield Wednesday and he is confident there won’t be a repeat of those mistakes against Leeds tomorrow. - Rafa says the priority is to be promoted. Whether that is in first or second, the priority is merely promotion
  16. I think i'd start Murphy in this one as opposed to Mitrovic. The simple reason being im sure the Leeds players instructions would include winding Mitrovic up.
  17. He has a bit of history of returning to former clubs (Twente, Derby) thankfully we'll nevrr see him back here again
  18. http://www.themag.co.uk/2017/04/massive-40m-transfer-surplus-announced-newcastle-united/ Some more info for HF
  19. http://www.themag.co.uk/2017/04/exclusive-steve-mcclaren-compensation-revealed-newcastle-sacking-newcastle-united/ It looks like it cost £1,000,000 to get rid of him
  20. What we have at the moment is a team fit for purpose (a championship team) will this team win promotion ? yes. Would this team survive in the premiership ? probably not. Obviously people are worried regarding Rafa staying if hes backed financialy & is allowed to run the club without any meddling i can see a bright future for the club. Let him do what he does best if not we may as well stay down here.
