An eye opener as to how difficult this league will be. Newcastle found that Fulham raised there game, like others will do against them. The same thing will happen when we play these sides.
It does bemuse me when we get stick for not getting a Brit in, yet it doesnt seem to apply to Benitez - lets be fair, he had a decent number of games to drag Newcastle out of trouble last season and couldnt do it.
The way some people are talking, the man with his little chisel had already punched Newcastle United into the trophy for this season.
