Way the energy bills are going it'll be just as warm going to a football match as it will stopping indoors! :)

Fidel, best to go on, in the depths of winter, while only wearing a thin t-shirt. That way, you won't feel the bitter cold when you get home to your unheated home.
Good idea. I'll wear my shorts too.

:D

Can see the Newcastle owners going for Eddie Howe to replace Bruce and with that kind of backing I think Howe could win the league within 3 years for them

I was very surprised to see him favourite with the bookies tonight.
Looks like Gerrard has moved in front now.

Eddie Howe has had his time to suggest he's a closet top manager is a joke
He had his day at Bournemouth that is as good as it will get for him

What I find amusing is the Geordies saying they have THEIR club back.....err no actually a foreign government own it and it is part of an investment to provide funds for said foreign government for when oil revenues dry up, the premier league will be a franchise soon.

The Saudi government has bought Newcastle to provide them with an income when their oil dries up?

Football club ownership is the PR arm of a wider global investment strategy. If I'm the crown prince of a country over-dependent on a finite natural resource in order to keep my economy going, and I want to stop people whom I rule with a iron fist from storming the palace and butchering me in the public square when that oil dries up or is no longer in demand and the country's economy is screwed, I'm looking for ways to spruce up my image, show my people that their place in the world economy is dependent on my vision, and that my leadership alone will bring them prosperity. I'm going to buy influence abroad (and a few mansions in safe countries, like the UK, maybe rent them out, you know, nice little personal earners if the worst happens) and try to show would-be trading partners that the 9am public beheadings aren't actually that big a deal, because LOOK, LOOK AT THIS OVER HERE, HELLOOOOO, LOOK, LOOK OVER HERE, NEWCASTLE UTD WHICH WE OWN HAS JUST WON THE PREMIER LEAGUE!!!

I can see this hastening the arrival of the Super League. Newcastle, City and Chelsea will tie up 3 of the 4 Champions League spots. Liverpool and Man Utd (if they get a manager) will compete for the 4th. Arsenal and Spurs have just become largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Teams like Everyon and Villa can spend hundreds of millions and get nowhere near.

If Newcastle follow the City model and get it right (watch out for the biggest stadium sponsorship deal in history), nobody can compete.

It's part of an overall investment portfolio, when the Premier League is fully foreign owned and relegation is banned etc the profits television money generate will stop going to players and start to pay back the investments. They are hardly the John Hall born and bred geordie Newcastle fan I mean come on they wont be growing beer bellies necking Newcy Brown whistling howay the lads whilst watching repeats of Auf Wiedersehen Pet.

Just a few years ago Saudi Arabia signed a deal with WWE, the American wrestling company, worth about half a billion (with a B) over 10 years to put on one or two shows a year. Believe me, more people in the world care for football than pro wrestling, and that's a lot of money to throw at something more that 99.99% of people supposedly don't give a f"ck about. It's PR. They apparently had an American company running what amounted to blatant propaganda vignettes in between wrestling matches, broadcast to a audience in America way smaller than what premier league games draw in the UK alone. Now, we aren't going to start seeing literal Saudi propaganda in between paddypower and Renault adverts on Sky, but the association with such a global brand is part of Saudi Arabia's soft power strategy (as it is for City's and PSG's owners).

Spijed will find somebody whether that appears to be true it’ll be denied anyway, I’m struggling to find somebody apart from maybe palace or Southampton, Brentford are looking good but could come unstuck at some point I think Norwich & Watford will be toast in the final reckoning I think the third spot will be tight & up for grabs.

True, but that gap doesn’t appear to be there or even looks like it that could be there, don’t think the bottom 3 will be that much better than last season I think we will be far worse & that gap will be closer.

The days of being able to compete are slowly coming to an end. Let's relish the chance to be in the top league while we can. It won't be long before it's no longer possible to perform miracles year to year because practically every club we're up against will have another rich owner.

Newcastle fans & all other football fans want to ask Malaga fans how well it went when they took over their club? Complete disaster where they forgot yes forgot they owned them that was the excuse when they turned of financial aid after breaking all investment rules in European football.

To be fair they already do. I am sure It’s only ourselves and Norwich that don’t have mega rich owners.

Fully agree, football has been sold out to billion dollar companies and multinationals - just like necessary commodities such as gas, electricity and oil.

The result is extortionate prices that many people can no longer afford and governments unable to do anything about is.

I'm quickly losing any interest in the game that has dominated such a big part of my life

Newcastle are going knowhere this talk of challenges to become champions is all nonsense. City and Chelsea are miles ahead in the earning stakes and if United sack OGS they might get a top6 slot
Newcastle fans are deluded if they think a top 6 finish is theirs this season
It's a huge job to shift the dross Bruce has lumbered the club with on big wages and long contracts.
Saying that, Matt Richie and Dwight Gayle might be part of the clear out so worth a punt in January

Absolutely.

I’m increasingly ambivalent.

Apart from us, I don’t take much wider interest anymore in the PL. I don’t watch Sky Sports News, I don’t watch MOTD, and generally come 5pm on a Saturday I have no idea what the results are, bar us.

Gone are the days I’d be glued to Soccer Saturday.

They aren't saying this season though, the majority expect it to happen over the next few years and tbh with the right manager that could happen, but they're going to overpay in wages and fees for a lot of players to make it happen.

Gayle is overrated in the PL, always has been.

You could watch Forest Green Rovers, combining football with green gas and electricity production - no oil though.

Only if we get relegated because he's shown he can score a lot in the championship, he's just garbage in the PL, similar to Mitrovic.

He was a very good player for 1 night when ending Liverpool's title hopes while at Palace, he should always be applauded just for that

If a big Arab chap approaches Steve Bruce at lunchtime today with a copy of the Quran tucked under one arm and a sword in the other, then they will need a new manager for the next game.

It will be interesting to see what happens these next three months.

Bruce will be potted presumably, giving a new manager time to assess the squad and give the owners a January shopping list. Will a new manager do any better than Bruce with the current squad? How motivated will some of the players be knowing they're going to be bombed out, if not in January, then the summer.

If they are still in trouble in January, will the players they throw their cash out be up for a relegation scrap and will the manager be able to mould them into a team?

What’s the point in trying to fairly compete in this league any more. I’ve been to more non league games this season than Burnley and I think that will continue

Dwight Gayle :lol: :lol:
Dwight Gayle made Collins look like an amateur in the league Cup game and was desperately unlucky to not score. I'd have them both

If they had any decency they would put Bruce out of his misery now, not pretend they are going to do a comprehensive review etc!!
