If a villa side were to win the double there would still be people moaning about the tactics, the manager, the subs made/not made, some signing that hadn't contributed enough or one of the longer-serving players not being good enough for where we want to go etc etc. The older you get the more you realise this.

I’m old, but still as guilty as anyone

If social media was about in 81 I’d have probably been moaning about Ken Mcnaught
‘Not mobile enough, makes too many mistakes, not comfortable on the ball’ you know that kind of shit





I think we all moaned about Ken after his debut

An interesting point in The Times today that Everton were doing some background checks on Danjuma as they had heard he has issues with his character, which meant they then lost out.  Also saw that Unai said he was not a player he was looking at so maybe the same issue? Either way it might explain why we did not go for him

If all true, hopefully he will upset the Spudz Apple cart!

Easily the most boring thing is fans moaning about other fans.

Does this count at your good self moaning at Footy? 😉

The YouTube of this Brazilian does not justify a £50m fee. Tonev on the other hand....

All this talk that we are after another striker (having also signed Duran) - if we do sign another striker, I would imagine Archer will be leaving the club this summer (he won't want to be 4th choice).

Not necessarily, we bring in a decent quality attacker in next week it’s conceivable we finish in European places and need 4 OR in the summer Emery might be up for selling Ollie…he is his main man currently but when he’s in a better market he might get players he truly wants

Newcastle had the Keegan/Dalglish/Gullit (to a point) and Shearer years where they had full houses, competed in Europe and nearly won the league. From a media standpoint they were a superb story against the evil Man U empire and threatened to become something in the battle for trophies for years to come. They operate in one club market too and get talked about with disproportionate reverence. They also play the victim role to perfection as a sleeping giant despite not having won much ever. But they disappeared up their own arses quickly, had a series of shit managers and went down hilariously. But they present a much more appetizing story of redemption than we do because our recent moments of relevance were not as exciting as theirs.

Timing as well, King Kev and their revival coming at the start of the Premier League and wall to wall TV coverage

So, Newcastle's last major domestic trophy (FA Cup) was 1955! That's 68 years ago....

It was the forerunner to what became the UEFA cup.

He posed for photos for Everton apparently before changing his mind and going to Spurs. We gave that Fulham player enough stick for doing something similar with us.

We didn't sack the man he'd been negotiating with in fairness

What ever happened to Joe Bryan? That glittering career at Fulham must have opened up all sorts of opportunities for him.

Currently enjoying the INEOS revolution at Nice along with half of yesterday's Premier League (him, Aaron Ramsey, Ross Barkley, Pepe from Arsenal, Kasper Schmeichel, Morgan Schneiderlin)
