I've no idea what his 'win ratio' in the PL is with Newcastle but they can't have won many games.

The quality of football is absolutely dreadful ..... the Mags must have rose tinted glasses handed to them as they go through the turnstiles.

There you go.
 
Big 2 games coming up for the mags and benitez you can't deny they've had some very tough games so far but surely the next 2 against an average Palace team and a Leicester team who have been very poor in their away games so far should be a great chance to get at least 3 points.

The defence of benitez by the mags should they get beat in both games will be interesting

McClaren who took you pretty much down (bollocks you weren't in the relegation zone when he was there) but got players you sold and gave Bouncy his net spend you always bang on about.

Yet he's used it on absolute shite..

Hes not a bad manager but he's not world class, he wouldn't be at your club if he was.

He's a chequebook manager

Entered the relegation zone at the end of August. Climbed out of it for 2 fixtures in December then went back in and stayed there until the end of the season.

Edit. Couple of games in November as well we were out of it. 19th when Benitez arrived.

Newcastle lost the same amount of games as West Brom, who finished bottom, iirc.

Eddie Howe lost less games, with Bournemouth, and only finished behind Newcastle on GD.

Won more games than West Brom and Bournemouth though, which is where you pick up points.

Bournemouth picked up the same number of points that season so your point doesn't work does it :lol:

9 points ahead of Newcastle at the moment as well ........ 3 wins to Newcastle's none.

It's OK because it's a fact, not because you choose to say 'OK' because that's the best response you have.

Howe has built a team, Benitez has built a collection of players ...... not everything can be blamed on Mike Ashley.

Would you absolve Benitez of all blame if you finish bottom ..... yes or no?
 
I notice one of the journalists stuck his head a little above the parapet this morning. Sorry if it’s Seb, not been around much

That's what they keep saying .... 'We had a terrible run of fixtures but now we have the likes of Palace and Leicester'.

If Benitez can't outsmart their managers then they really are in the shite.

Both those teams have players the Newcastle supporters wouldn't have in their squad.

So why are some of their supporters expecting Newcastle to lose?

Love it when the skunks say they are fully expecting a defeat tomorrow yet they suck the Spanish waiter off at every opportunity and think he’s a world class manager. If he is as good as they think he is they will win the next two games against average premier league teams.

Claiming they're expecting a defeat is totally obvious bullshit ...... if they win then it'll be the genius of Benitez and his collection of internationals :lol:

Spot on mate taking the Ashley benitez blame game shite away for 1 minute if you look at the 2 starting 11s on paper tomorrow not how much the squads cost, net spend etc etc just the 2 starting 11s quality wise there isn't a massive gulf in class
