I’d honestly say, player for player, that I can’t think of a time in the last 20-30years when they’ve had a better player in any position than us. 
 

Even when we were shite, we were better than them. 
 

Even the seasons we spent in the Championship, our first XI blew their team away Mano a Mano. 

 

There have been times that they have signed players and I have been frustrated that we didn't go for them (Bent, Johnson, Defoe, Rodwell) but I have not held that belief for any period of time afterwards.

I dunno, they might have had a better left back than us at the time, or whatever. But if you stack their very best against ours for a combined XI and the entire squad is turning out in black and white. 

 

Like, is Wilson a better forward than Bent, Defoe or Phillips? Arguably. Wilson isn't even in my top 5 Newcastle forwards of the past 40yrs.*

 

Honestly think that's why they fawn over Henderson and Pickford even though those two played there briefly and played their best football elsewhere. It's because they're the closest claim they've got to actually good footballers.

Claudio Marangoni, lasted a year and sacked them off. Went home to Argentina won Argy player of the year, multiple titles and capped 9 times.

 

They are tremendous at stalling careers.

Turned down the chance to sign Maradona at the same time though marra. 

 

(As if that's a good thing to brag about).

Looking at their match thread, it appears the god like status bestowed upon that Onion bloke for tackling a 17 year old has been rescinded.

Quick glance at the thread titles and I think it might be safe to suggest that perhaps just perhaps the model might not be working. 

 

Unfortunately for everybody else all they've got to do is tap into their local 7 a side scene to pick up a few players that can lay ruin to full Brazil internationals.

Being a massive fan of lads musnt be much fun. Alright, you get loads of admiration in far corners of the World, with people wishing you well in the fight against the Mags, FTM, but the toxic atmosphere at home games? The only fun is betting who will leave first.

I love their misplaced theory that they are super fans and don’t whinge. They literally hound out every manager they appoint and have the most toxic home ground in the entire English leagues.
