I think Leeds will be in there at 7-9, they look good this year.

Agree that no one looks like they’ll trouble the top 6 this season now that Man Utd seem to have brushed off their weird start.

Well certainly can't speak for all mags, but I know Michael Martin keeps an eye on this website, and I'd expect he doesn't always find it amusing, if some of his latest ravings are anything to go by:

the Show Racism the Red Card flags marking the end to the taking knee gestures were perfectly timed.

We know the ownership structure means we are always going to be under the microscope. I’ve reconciled myself that some of that scrutiny will be misplaced, grossly unfair and insulting of the club and everyone employed by it and supports it.

I’ve been previously upset and exercised by some of the absolutist crap said and written about Newcastle United under the new ownership because I’ve felt some should know much better and should not be narrow in their analysis.

We will routinely have our views dismissed as whataboutery and horribly caricaturised as wiling dupes for a regime any sane person regards as cruel and repressive. I won’t repeat the lines others and I have written about politics, economics, security here because it is becoming tedious to do so.

But gestures like Sunday’s anti-racism messages as well as the display of the rainbow diversity flag says everything about who we are and the efforts to paint us as something different won’t land.


So waving Show Racism The Red Card flags shows everyone what they are - ignore all the other stuff. I'll look out for this week's column, where presumably Martin will explain what we're supposed to make of Newcastle's players running about in a Saudi kit while the manager wears a Ukraine flag on his chest. What does that tell us about who they are?

Can’t wait for him and the rest of the Thobe lifters to deny supporting the Saudis once KSA ditches its tawdry PR exercise and moves on

You’re right that some people feel the need to paint us as the club that everyone else wants to come to, and if we don’t get them we weren’t interested. That behaviour is embarrassing. We have been turned down - Etikite for example. But that’s not what happened with Paqueta

Stood aside is more acurate

Sorry, what?

We can’t just buy everyone and it’s not a position that is a priority. A lot of fans would love to sign him (pretty much based on his bro love for Bruno) but it seems the club prioritised other positions. As we then saw this week

Why do they react to any criticism of their Saudi state ownership ? If it’s ok and acceptable to be owned by these west hating people why even bother responding ? They’ve got their club back by a regime who ‘gets them’ and loves their city ! What’s the problem ? Can our resident apologists answer this

The thing where you thought you were showing your owners tweeting about an event they sponsored when in fact you were just showing a tweet from Grant the Newcastle twitter admin ‘showing support’ for pride month. I was talking about an actual event that Newcastle sponsored ya sad spanner.
