Newcastle in this half are a big erm 'physical' side. Hopefully prem referees won't be as lenient.

You utter amateurs! You are supposed to do Philly puns not generic cheese puns. They announced it on the PA.

Too right, talk about taking a liberty.

No reason both clubs can’t be top 6
No reason* we can't be top six and the Barcodes implode and finish 11th.

*It would definitely be hilarious.

A giant clothes peg would be better in goals than Olsen.

If he made the same mistakes but was able to play the same way as Martinez with his passing I'd sort of accept it but our whole game plan looks off with him in there and that can't be the plan for in the season. I'd be amazed if he isn't replaced.
