To be fair, Leeds' only recent trophy is from 30 years ago...
Your comment got me going there, as for a second I was thinking “you’re talking shìt mate, they won the league when I was a kid”. Then the penny dropped, that was 30 years ago. For some reason, my brain has a hard time processing that the 90s didn’t end recently. I think it might be something to do with the new millennium, in so much my head treats it as a long decade instead, so in that sense I will live my entire life with Euro 96, Oasis and Tamagotchi’s only just in the rear view mirror. Just me? |

No. That Bromley fan with his hair curtains is still in the 90s. But don’t worry. Things can only get better. |

I predict they will buy Kane and Sterling in the January window. Maybe Stones and Phillips too.

Makes me glad I'm a Town fan and we have a club that is part of the community and owners that want to strengthen those community ties.
What a contrast between Newcastle and the likes of Rochdale. The speed at which the top and bottom of the game is drifting apart is staggering.
Reflects society in general sadly.

And what’s going on in football isn’t even the serious side effect of rising inequality.

Will Kane & Sterling be happy playing Championship football, because thats Newcastle's first challenge staying in the Premiership. All this talk by Newcastle fans and pundits, who could be coming through the doors, could unsettle the current players, knowing thet days are numbered, hardly going to motivate them. To attract the best players, Newcastle we need to playing in Champions League, cannot see that happening in the near future. So basically apart maybe 3/4 players, Newcastle need to replace its whole squad, thats not going to be easy, shifting all those players and bringing better players, without the lure of European football. Going to have to pay over inflated fees and wages, yes money no object, but throwing money does not guarantee success. Manchester United have not won the league since 2013, top managers have come and gone and a small fortune has been spent on players and wages. Man United are in a far better situation then Newcastle are and still are someway behind Man City, Liverpool & Chelsea. Recipe for a disaster |

This notion of instant success is odd to say the least but as I keep saying, Newcastle fans are half the problem; an over inflated view of their club based on some big gates.
They will attract big players eventually because we know that money talks, I understand that to some extent but it’s the arrogance and the instantaneous response they’re expecting that’s baffling.
It took City and Chelsea a period of time before they started getting close to winning titles and the like, I don’t understand how a club with zero pedigree for success, a club that not so long ago wasn’t even part of murmurings for a European super league now thinks it’s going to be in the champions league…all very odd.
As a Newcastle fan I wouldn’t be happy with this take over, not because of the possible disconnect and money bags approach that will develop but actually the very people that have bought them…when someone buys your club that’s more morally corrupt than Ashley then I’m not sure you’ve moved on…
It’s all a bit suspicious but intercourse all we can do…
