I'm all for Newcastle being 'nailed on' to win the league with Super Rafa. All the expectation, all the pressure, but Ashley still the owner, and the man who took them down still picking the team.

Just stick with what you know, it's perfectly acceptable English
It's perfectly acceptable American English that is now becoming widespread in British English. Like the past participle 'snuck' often replaces 'sneaked'.

That said, "Can I get" should always be met with a swift kick to the goolies.

I will get points to an action.
This bit is, well, gibberish Peter.


'I will get' points to an action. Just laziness on my part.
This is not a satisfactory explanation of effect of the modal "will" on the relationship between subject and predicate.

now becoming is the the bit that I'm really against, this has been used in the UK for at least 20 years, it's not a new thing.

Hopefully their players are as complacent as their fans and the media. I think they're in for a rude awakening. Apart from anything they seem to be assuming that their better players will stay.

I seem to remember them being a pile of shit, apart from anything else.

... Ayew had a horrible attitude in the premiership
Really? Yes, he got sent off at the Spammers but I didn't see much evidence of "horrible attitude".

Booking in 94th minute at Norwich which meant he missed the game at Sunderland which was massive and the constant shrugs. If he wants off, let him go IMO

This is not a satisfactory explanation of effect of the modal "will" on the relationship between subject and predicate.

I have no idea what you have just said (wrote).

Horrible attitude? Never seen it myself only a look of being pissed off if we didn't win which was very often.

I wished the rest of the squad had Ayew's 'horrible' attitude.  If we had that we certainly wouldn't have been in the mess we got into. 

Give me a team of Ayews over a team of grinning Bacunas every time.

The guy has talent, unlike Bacuna. However his attitude stunk at times to me, but perhaps that was partly cos of the shite that was going on.

You don't really need to know about things such as epistemic, deontic, radical and dynamic modality. Or psycho-linguistic constants. But they exist.
