Newcastle FC (Aug 19)

[scott934]

Thought Arsenal were poor but fuck me the mags were horrendous. Almiron, Maximan (?), and that new bald, black lad all look horrific. Thought Joelinton looked ok at times, think he might replace Rondon adequately.

Gonna be a relegation battle for them I'd think.

 

[Steve H]

Shocking game of football, like a meaningless friendly.

When a game is finished , players often come off the pitch knackered and covered in sweat, not today though, both teams looked like they hardly broke sweat, was like a stroll in the park

 

[The Snowman]

Looks as though there's only 40k fans there.

nonsense no way theres 12k empty seats, cameras wlould have showed them instead of a few early on

 

[MLE1]

Only another 37 to go and the job is complete

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Almiron reminds me of Watmore - dog with balloon. At least Dunc got a couple of goals and assists at Premier League level. Joelinton doesn't look like a goalscorer to me either. Mags could be in trouble this season.

 

[Reiver]

Jury still out on Joelinton for me. Got in decent positions today and looks physical.

Almiron on the other hand...Jesus.

Almiron/Altidore/Awful

 

[Wayne The Punk]

More of many to come and he can wear the shield of Invincibility

"They never accepted me coz I managed the mackems"

 

[JohnKay]

Must say I fancied them to get a result today, look canny at times 1st half too. If Bruce gets off to a bad start, which I've never thought he would they are right in the shite like.

 

[gipetto]

Probs 12-15k missing fans there. Amazing.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Almiron is absolutely shit. £21 million

Nothing will get said because Rafa bought him

 

[Gucci Massive]

Almiron is absolutely shit. £21 million

Looks the sort who would look half decent in Spain or Italy for a midtable side. Too lightweight and needs too much time on the ball.

 

[Gorillacop]

we just looked all over the place, has all the hallmarks of the Mcclaren season.piss poor as expected , boycott as ever a waste of time but nice to see 5k off the crowd, shows quite a few cant give a fuck anymore.
Bruce looks clueless , first game i know but the signs are all there as we thought , 17th will be a struggle, crowd were crap, no idea why they bother.
Where's the beer.

not a chance 5k tops, and thats down to holidays and the weather

 

[All or Nothing]

Wait till Mandy makes a comeback

 

[gipetto]

47

No chance

It sounded like a non-league game as well. Their atmosphere is honkin.

Shocking turn out mind. Losing 12-15k fans after spending over 70m

Nonsense ....

[chuckyroll]

Hopefully he matches the messiah story from last season

Shite fairweather fans. Well, that's what we were according to the bellends when our fans stayed away under Short.
