remember you're on a newcastle board

 

i don't think anyone here seriously thinks we're winning the league next season, no matter who we sign. 

Maybe we need to sign Chris Sutton?

i know, but we all do it. 

 

i think right now its liverpools to lose. they're attempting to strength and seem to be buying well which doesn't help the rest of us.

 

arsenal are arsenal, and will look great but then collapse

 

chelsea can't decide who to include in their PL squad

 

we're in transition. so who knows what we'll be like.

replacing tired legs with fresh legs. and tired ideas with fresh. guardiola will never abandon possession (the opposition can't hurt you if they don't have the ball) but he mentioned that football has moved on from possession based. he's brought in a set play coach for gawds sake. we are awful at set pieces since our guy went to arsenal. quite excited for the CWC and next season already.

Brett Emerton by the end of the week FTW

Fair play to City. Every other team has struggled to get a signing in early doors and City have pretty much finished their business already.

without significant investment i think we'll drop off in the league this season because of extra CL fixtures. and it sounds like we are still constrained by PSR - i don't see us blowing the type of wedge your lot, chelsea, liverpool or chelsea will. talk is our budget is around £100m and we'll need to flog some first team players to increase it, which is in itself annoying because we're trying to build a squad to compete on four fronts. 

 

realistically i think top six and another cup run will be a great season for us. top four will be another howe coaching miracle, and a serious challenge for the title is still a few years away.

 

rotating the squad is also something howe has to learn to do. our best form usually occurs when he plays the same team week in, week out and we go on a mad winning run - howe and the players have that in them. but it's harder to do that with the extra midweek games because you risk too many injuries. he tried it last time we were in the CL and we finished 7th, with half the squad injured most of the season due to our high intensity style of play.

you could always raise some case by selling us a right back and if you're short on readies we could look to loan you a left wing in exchange. would that help?

to be fair we had to do ours before the CWC.

 

think we'll see lots of outs, plus, possibly, a right back come in before september

Retired in 2020 according to wikipedia. He was caretaker manager until Moyseyball returned to merseyside.

that goes to my point about weakening the squad when we’re trying to build one. Fuck PSR

Think that silly bollocks still lives in Yarm.

 

It’s quite nice but surely you go back to fucking Valencia or somewhere?

Could say the same about Benitez living on the Wirral.

When we finally do make a proper signing the forum will just keep deleting any posts about it, to the point where no one knows what to believe anymore. Limbo’s telly.  
 

Is it the same amount of data that gets removed each deletion or is it growing, blob-like (not overtime), and will ultimately remove all of Alex’s half a million posts?  And all the images less than 399.36kb? 
 

Either way, I hope we’ve got some deals ready to go because we will be fucked next season without at least 4 new seniors. Hopefully some of the youth start breaking through or what’s the point of them? Endless supply of youthful but conveniently inept wingmen for JT?  
 

This post will self-destruct before any cunt reads it.

I struggle to believe that’s true.
 

Gemmill dishes out more abuse than Gary Glitter. I’m sure he can take it, gangbang or otherwise.

Is this the line that didn't make it into Roy's final speech in Bladerunner?

 

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears when some lass squirts in your eye. Time to die.
