Unlikely they'll pick up another point until their home game with Bournemouth mid November when they might scrape a nil nil

Benitez doesn't want Ashley to give him the money the supporters are demanding ..... that's my honest opinion.

If Ashley gave him the money he'd then be expected to finish higher than tenth.

His transfer activity has been erratic and it's very easy to blow £50 million or whatever, he's done that before.

He'd also be expected to commit to a new contract, something I don't believe he wants to do.

He's just playing the martyr, lining up his excuses if he takes Newcastle down again and biding his time until he can walk.

I suspect this isn't far from the truth but the shop shouters have made their minds up and won't budge. It's all Ashley's fault. No blame will ever be attributed to the parker of buses.

I think Benitez wants out and Ashley wants rid. The contract ending in the summer is convenient for both.
I think one of the reasons Benitez agreed to stay on in 2016 was that certain promises were made and not delivered.
From Ashley's point of view he's got a manager who is causing him nowt but bother. Unless the club is sold before the summer (very unlikely) then it'll be Benitez leaving and probably end up with somebody like Ian Holloway

The dream team would be Benitez upstairs on the double decker directing traffic and Holloway driving. :lol:

They'll sit in against Palace to stop Zaha getting behind them. They're possibly the worst side in the league to watch as a neutral.

Absolutely this, they'll be petrified of Zaha and will set up in the usual Benitez defensive fashion accordingly.

He'll see an away point at Palace as good point, and it will be in their current position with the upcoming fixtures they have.

not according to the radio I had the misfortune of hearing. Stale, dull, uncompetitive, boring were some of the words used to describe both sides iirc.

I had the misfortune to be watching that game on holiday, shockingly bad, Cardiff just about shaded it for me as they wanted it more, but their finishing was shocking.

The mags will win one of the next 2 games imo they aren't as bad as some on here make out. Players like shelvey, lascelles, rondon, yedlin, diame, Kennedy, ki, Ritchie the keeper are all half decent premier league players.

This what baffles me when the mags go on about benitez. He acrually has some decent players to work with

I don't rate Kenedy as all - vastly overrated. He has been garbage this season so far.
