Great article in the Athletic....


We were premiership ready because we bought some good players and in particular Xhaka who organised us on the pitch
Xhaka was the glue, the reason our season was so successful
We need another such quality signing to continue the momentum
No Xhaka, no glory or success, simple as that
 
Class. He’s a really good writer Michael Walker. Up There is about North East football in general up to about 2014 and it’s a great read.
 
I would love Jonathan Wilson to do an article about us, analysing our progression this season and prospects.
Maybe he hasn't done one yet as, being a mlf, he feels he can't be objective or accused of favouritism. By nature he's more doom and gloom than happy clapper.

Quite a contrary point of view, that our best signing was the most important part of our success.

Interested to hear how you came to that conclusion?
