Confirmation now that Maja is pissing his career away after a good half a season in League 1.

We are now absolutely desperate for a striker and other clubs know that, we'll end up paying over the odds but whether it's Grigg or someone else their asking price needs to be paid. It's going to be the difference between promotion or not and paying more than what we need to this month has to be done as if we don't go up this season we're fucked.

They must surely have somebody lined up now that he’s gone. It’s right what you say they need to spend a bit to try and get straight out of that league.

Ive been a Newcastle fan for more than 30 years!! I have now come to the point where i dont give a shit whether we win, draw or lose!!

Just says alot about where my club has gone in the last 10 years!

We had 2 shots today....neither on target, disgusting against a side that changed its entire 1st 11!!!

Seen that before and 2 shots at home shouldn’t be acceptable against anybody. Did you make changes as well or was it your first team?

[Woody]

A few but we should of done better....no focal point at all and nil creativity!

Yea I think everything that’s going on behind the scenes is bound to be having an effect on the players. Just need to try and stay in the prem and hope for a takeover I would say.

What an absolute belter of a signing this is. I can honestly see them challenging for the Champions League this year

Come on Rafa!!!!!

[Woody]

I retract yesterdays statement!!

 

WHAT A FUCKING WIN!!!!!

[Ian]

Newcastle were brilliant tonight. They could easily have folded after the early goal but they stuck in! Just need to do this against teams in and around them now and they’ll be fine. 😀😀

[Woody]

And a record transfer for Almiron too...what a day!

 

[samhardy]

Fuck off.

[Woody]

Love you too Sam 😉

This is the stuff of nightmares for Big Sam and Pulis.

It is shocking and frankly a disgrace that a professional manager can seemingly ignore such a vital part of the sport!

61 years ago today, football lost some talented sons. 

RIP Busby Babes,

Forever Remembered

[FuddledFox]

Considering the goal scorer and the “controversy” over the goal I have to wonder if @samhardy saw the final minutes of this match or whether he was being escorted out the ground 🤔

[samhardy]

Chelsea's manager is absolutely clueless.

[FuddledFox]

Chelsea needs a proper manager and I know just the man.

Scholes taking the reins at Oldham! Thoughts?

Shouldn't be allowed to take it in a million years.

[FuddledFox]

He should have to sell his “investment” in Salford before he took over.

I bet Jose is willing him to fail.

I know it may sound silly, but he’d have been better off taking over at a bigger club. I can’t see what he’ll bring to a lower league side tbh. Saying that, I hope he does well!

Guaranteed!!

I wonder how many youngsters United will send there on loan! Lampard and Gerrard have had a helping hand from their former clubs in that department iirc

Aaron Ramsey on £400k per week at Juve!! WTF!

They seem to be offering ridiculous wages in Italy at the moment. I think Emre Can left Liverpool as we wouldn’t match their offer too.

Ramsey will only be available for about 2 weeks of the season anyway!

It's madness, but it's why free transfers are never free. The player almost always gets inflated wages due to no transfer fee.

That and he wanted first team guaranteed apparently, I'm a big fan of Can but we've hardly missed him.

What’s Ramsey worth a week, £150k say, tops! So essentially Juventus are paying him £83.2m! for his four year contract. If he signed for what he’s worth which is £150k? They’d have paid £31.2m in wages over the four years. So really they’ve paid a transfer fee of £52m for an injury prone Aaron Ramsey. Madness!

Ever wonder what the value of some of the players you grew up enjoying would be in the modern day?

Shearer? Gazza? Hoddle?
