P.S I canāt believe how much TH has fxxked up Man U and credit to Captain Black and his boys on taking City to the last day.

I learned from my many mistakes as the season progressed, but couldnāt get out of 12th place. Automatic relegation for me!

Iām not sure about Spursā justification Woy, but for Newcastle this is a marketing ploy, pure and simple.
The Saudis are trying to raise the profile of the club in all corners of the globe. USA last Summer, Japan this summer, and flying to Australia within 24 hours of the season ending.
Ridiculous! But they seem to have an unswerving determination to drive up commercial revenues in all corners of the world. If we get into the Conference League, the players will be knackered when they start playing games in Julyā:rofl:

And weāre glad they are. Revenue from massive tv rights and mugs like us staying up all night to watch live and paying for the privilege helps keep those poor things in their Ranger Rovers and Bentleys.
I donāt feel sorry for them at all also half the time they send 2nd string players anyway.

Not sure that Newcastle have that many second string players as the entire team seem to be auditioning for the walking wounded
They sort of collapsed mid way through the season , they should have been fifth or sixth .

Thing here is they still sellout. We donāt get to real class football and thereās always a lot of expats

Thatās because I āparked the busā to consolidate in 11th! I must read the rules properly next time. I kept switching players and then forgetting to save the team! Next season will be betterā¦.

It was a good little league. I think even the teams in 11th and 12th place were in the top 50% of all 11m participating, so all teams in the league did well.

Without the biblical injury crisis, we would have challenged for Champions League. Iām convinced of that. Anyway, weāve got our first major signing of the summer - Tonali. Ā£60m and he is effectively a new player for us.
You are absolutely spot on though. Injuries have exposed the lack of depth in the squad. Some of those players (Dummett, Ritchie, Lascelles) should be nowhere near a PL First Team squad. I see a big clear out coming in the weeks aheadā¦

It wasnāt all bad - you had the away win at Sunderlandā¦
I hope you donāt mind me saying but on balance Newcastle may do better in the Europa League than in the Champions League
Key Reason Why Man City Won the Premier League
By sheer chance this is where I parked the car last Sunday on the way to the Etihad. Mrs R decided it was a good omen so took this photo:
Sure enough, Phil Foden scored two goals within the first 20 minutes.
You may be right Ian. Hereās hoping 
If we do qualify for the Europa Conference it should give the opportunity to visit some new European grounds.

Believe me, visiting the likes of Gornik Zabrze on a wet Thursday night is ten times worse than Stokeā¦
