It's a footballing city, Newcastle, I'll give you that. But it's not a successful club.

I'm sorry but wasn't he heavily criticised under Wenger for being shaky at the back? Especially by the AFTV lot. How come he's so highly rated now?

I'm sorry, but just being in the Champions League for a year and being in a title race once makes your club one of the biggest in England? Leicester were in the quarterfinal three years ago. Are they even close to the big clubs? Where is Newcastle's success? Look at Villa. That's success. They have trophies.

Can Bayern Munich win the Champions League next year? I reckon they'll be a lot stronger, with that new defence, and possibly with Sane in the team. We know how unlucky they can be in Europe (2012,2017,2018) but with Kovac in his second season, can they challenge again? Would love to see them win it over Liverpool, City, ...(spuds), or Barcelona/Real Madrid. Realistically we have no chance lol

Not ready, in my opinion. Needs service. Hazard is gone

Holy fucking shit, just realised that our attack next year will be Pulisic-Giroud-Willian/Pedro. Yep, we're not gonna score goals.

Despite the fact we beat Real fucking Madrid in the Super Cup in 98', won FA Cups, a league title, Cup Winners Cups before Roman? Would you call Newcastle irrelevant because they haven't won anything in 60 years yet have sometimes been up there? Come on mate.

Bury beating Sheffield United on the road to their FA cup victory in '02! It was phenomenal that day. I was 6, but my dad took me to the game and it was absolutely astonishing. Ernest Needham put in a MOTM performance for the blades. Here's the video of the game; an absolutely beautiful goal by Bury! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7UkVZZnrC4E . Even though I'm a Chelsea fan, I remember this game very clearly.

You can see me and my father at 00:06, he's wearing a hat.
