Championees!

Congrats Ally. even tho it is a bit of a mickey mouse league. Needs another Fergie to come and kick some arse like he did with Aberdeen, and for someone who isnt a total nutcase (like the bloke who bought Hearts) to buy some of the other clubs and actually let the manager pick the team...

Thanks, and yeah - shower of bastards

Dirty0900 - a wee bit like how Newcastle are gonna find division one?

Matt - charming...

Other Matt - Totally agree, but the team's a function of the league it's forced to play in. The 'best league in the world' is bankrolled by Sky money, you give the global brands of the Old Firm access to cash like that (Rangers can bank £10M for winning, Newcastle get something daft like an £11M parachute payment.......) and a calibre of opposition which that money buys and you've got guaranteed top-six finishing.
Make no mistake, winning this year was crucial for us to prevent Celtic running away financially. I couldn't give a flying fuck about flippant criticism like what I see here, I fucking loved it.

Steve - Yeah I know, but we play where we do and I love my team - best club in the world!

Ally, just a joke mate, however:

People can mock all they like about Newcastle going down, but I personally don't care. At this moment in time, it was a dead cert they'd go down. Having roughly 5 managers in one season isn't going to help. Big Sam, Keegan, Kinnear, Chris Houghton and Alan Shearer isn't going to get any organisation going at all. Been like this for the past two seasons.

They need to go down and rebuild. Apparantly, Shearer will sign on and help get something going. I expect for Michael Owen to fuck off is anyone is daft enough to buy him alongside Martis/Jonas G/Bassong/Stephen Taylor as they may want better opposition then Norwich and Coventry. They don't do a pissing Leeds as they have players intact at the moment who are experienced and have youth players who have been there for a while. For once, they may have to call on what they which will be good at Championship level, instead of throwing money at people.

Oh and Mike Ashley? He is part of the blame for them to go down. When fat Freddie Shepherd was there, he may have been a crook, but we never went down.

Yeah as a totally outside observer it's apparent that the club's been rocked and ruined from the inside. It's a shame as Newcastle are a great club who deserve to be at the top of the English game, I'm sure they'll bounce right back up and I hope they find the stability needed to start climbing after that.
