Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

The question you are asking me is one where everyone knows the answer to though; it's in the public domain, so why are you asking me to answer? It's not subjective, like your assertion that Everton have a favourable run-in compared to Newcastle, which what I was disputing. Me answering a meaningless question that is indisputable, in no way furthers your assertion, howevever much you think it does.

Well I was asking you to make sure you were aware of who finished in the top 6 the last couple of seasons.

You're suggestion is ludicrous, it is a suggestion that Sheffield United is a harder game than Tottenham.

The league has clearly been split into 2 distinctive groupings in terms of difficulty of games. Top 6 teams and the rest. It's become a bit merged this season, but it's still broadly there. And after 38 games I suspect it would be re-enforced more.

In our final half of fixtures we play only 2 of the widely accepted "big 6" (best 6 teams) based upon completed seasons. Objectively that is a favourable run in.

The reason you won't answer is because you've been caught out and won't admit it, which is on you. The fact remains though, we have a favourable run in. Against none top 6 sides we are averaging over 2 points per game (post silva) and if the trend continues (as it logically ought to) we have 52 points plus 2 games against Liverpool and Spurs. Looking at the league table we are right in the mix for the top 6.

No, I think thats fair. It's a decent older stadium. But it's really not a unique attraction as say maybe 6 or 8 stadiums are.

I think you will find, they will benchmark against what you have received previously. They are very very tight about this, and in honesty if half is what is said is true you will find the old money clubs will make it hard for you.

Curious which are the 6-8? Old Trafford, Etihad, Emirates, Anfield, White Hart Lane... Oh, the London stadium? We're only a few thousand behind the Etihad, Anfield and we've an actual football stadium, instead of whatever the hell the London Stadium is. In terms of modernising the stadium we could do with it. Ashley replaced the big screens on the concourse with diddy little 32" screens. I'd like to see the refreshment areas updated, those pint pumps that fill the glass from the bottom? Love a bit of wizardy like that.

There'll be considered approach to the investment into the club I'm sure. But the increase in commerical revenue won't be insignificant. Under Ashley ours has stagnated. Where once we were on a comparable level to Spurs, we're now way behind. I'd not be shocked to see a PIF backed shirt sponsorship deal. We'd certainly get more for stadium advertising than the paultry £2m we recently got from Ashley's Sports Direct. They could even sponsor the stadium. That's one area where I'd expect to see real growth.

As in, sources from Liverpool football club. Who have dealt with these people face to face.

Which people specifically? Sheikh Khaled, Amanda Staveley? PIF? Either way, this deal is further along than any other, widely reported as done and dusted bar the O&D test, which could take a few weeks.

These Newcastle fans on Twitter are strange lol, saying stuff like waiting for Everton fans to comment when reports Bruce is staying for season etc despite basically most other fans saying stuff, do they think they will win the league or be top 2 or something,and half of them seem to want Rafael back despite what he did to them in making a Runner using the convenient excuse to get out of Town of Mike Ashley

Weird how every no mark club always tries to start a rilvary with us.

Southampton over Koeman
Swansea over Siggurdsson
West Ham over every transfer rumour
Watford for obvious reasons
