That's a pretty mad line up The best nme special I saw was bloc party, cribs and foals in Manchester, was a great night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I went to a few of those tours in a row, mid 2000's. They were such special times. However, fear not. Sulberto & The Saud's, feat. Don Simon could be the ones to bring indie glory back to the UK! (And Riyadh). Watch this space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 The interest in Newcastle is always going to be limited given its distance from the rest of the country and the fact it is a poor area. Yes they get good support but it is quite localised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would any other club want this to happen? No, the clubs don’t get an (official) say. The decision is made by the Premier League body based on very narrow criteria, but of course some clubs may put a little pressure on the decision behind the scenes.

StewieGriffin Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 This might be the year... Norwich are awful, but you'd expect Wolves, Burnley and Southampton to pull away from Newcastle eventually as they have either decent players, a decent manager and/or and effective system. Newcastle are already so far behind Brentford, you think they already might struggle to catch them in the 31 games they have left given what both teams have shown in the opening 7... I dont see 3 teams for them to finish above. Norwich for sure, and probably Watford, but a 3rd team is a stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eye test always tells you they're the worst team in the league but they know how to pick up crucial points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly on paper Newcastle have much better squad than Burnley. If they can keep ASM and Wilson fit for most of the season they might just keep their head above the water in spite of Brucie Edited October 4, 2021 by Czarnikjak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would much rather see the majority of the Premier League get relegated over them. I'm with you a little on this, I remember the Faustino Asprilla and Kevin Keegan days when people thought that maybe they could break the Man U stranglehold. 'I'd love it if we beat them' Keegan interview was a classic. Though I'm not sure how much it's disliking Newcastle, or Steve Bruce / Mike Ashely nowadays. Either way, the table does not lie at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 for a long time that 5-0 game was one of the best games id ever seen like a lot of clubs my disliking of them comes from their fans and the media, the skewing of them to this massive club that they're simply not grinds my gears 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 It's the nonsense about how passionate they are about football that make me dislike them. But I rather have them in the league than to many London teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media, sure. The whole "love their number 9" thing. But that isn't their fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
