It took a long time but it turns out the ‘raise hopes and dash them mercilessly’ rollercoaster of supporting Newcastle actually surivived the takeover.
Wally You’re not bad though.
hugopal you may not think PSG is a circus but most do… buying the world’s most famous players in the interests of commercialism as opposed to building a coherent team… player politics (Mbappe)…. Chopping managers constantly… and no, spending that amount of money and not winning a champs league is a crap return - winning the Ligue doesn’t count
SM001 Worst possible set of results for Leeds.
Terrible isn’t it
Mad_Cyril My brother is a Leeds fan so I have a mild soft spot for them. Poor kid has been thru the ringer these past 20 years.

Irish wons always come out with this sort of weirdness. A United fan with a soft spot for Leeds 😆 Met a Chelsea one once who said he liked Liverpool too when I said I was a Liverpool supporter.
As bizarre as the Sinos.
Amps Weirdly Newcastle have been the better team.
SM001 I don’t know about that but it does makes me wonder why St Maximin has had to wait so long for a start
SM001
Losing 2-0 and down to ten men, the emphasis is very much on them. If they keep pushing forward, the spaces will surely open up.
True (and it’s good to see) but could haves and should haves count for fuck all.
Potter is the man to lead Chelsea 👍🏻
Newcastle subbing off their set piece taker and top scorer after an hour is very strange.
SM001 We have a cup final next weekend SM. HTH 👍🏻
SM001 Turns out Joelinton and Trippier picked up knocks (minor head whack for Trippier) so were taken off as a precaution.
Never been so glad to be in the Cotswolds.
Wally It’s 8 days away!? That can’t be the reason. If it was that is fucking pathetic.
Wally 4th place in the PL is worth more than 2nd place in the Cariboo Cup Wal.
Just FYI
SM001 Our goalkeeper for the final is literally someone who’s never played in a game for the club?
Players have been exhibiting signs of being knackered since the world cup (esp Trippier who didn’t take a break) so maybe rest them a bit?
Mad_Cyril Newcastle aren’t finishing 4th in the league. Anyone with half a brain would have seen the writing on the wall for the last 4 weeks AND for a club that’s won fuck all since 1954 and shouldn’t (by all sane accounts) be above a comfortable top half finish this season at the max, silverware is the sensible choice.
Howe knew the game was gone after he chose to play a suicidal high line against arguably the paciest attack in the league.
Wally Anyone with ¼ a brain knows you’re not winning the carryboo cup
That said, Howe has so far seemed to be of the opinion that every game is the most important game. I reckon he just wrote it off and decided to give the players a break and it’s not related to the cup final per se’.
Mad_Cyril I have a full brain and I agree.
Rashford in the form of his life vs Karius.
Not even worth turning it on is it?
