Championship & Football League

Well he said when we survived last season that he wasn't selling until we won a trophy or qualified for the CL. But really he will only sell when he is offered his money back, which won't happen while we are out of the premier league, all these people wanting to see us go down thinking it will force him to sell are idiots IMO.

I think after last season he decided he was going to stop fucking about and gave the club access to it's money, and we spent £100m overall. His problem is he knows nothing about football and has put his trust in the wrong people, our board is a total joke, they hired a joke manager, and Alan Carr's dad being the only one that knows anything about football was given way too much power, McClaren was hired because he was his mate and he was buying players with no character, and some deals look dodgy to me.

Ideally we would bring in a new MD to restructure things off the pitch, and Rafa would be given the power to restructure everything on the football side of things, fix the academy, he can choose a new chief scout, everything.

Well he's staying

If I'm not mistaken, there's gonna be as many Champions League winning managers in the Championship as the Premier League next season

I quite like Di Matteo. He's nee Rafa though

Yeah could be worse. Still not sure if this new owner is legit, but it'd be a tangible start if we get a decent manager.

Steven Taylor now a free agent, form an orderly queue.

Kimbo, Fergie has told the refs to call everything against Rafa - dirty old bastard still holding a grudge. Newcastle had a stonewall penalty not given, and the refs was there to clearly see it. Shame! Shame! [ding - ding - ding] Shame! Shame!

Fulham have played with 3 goalkeepers tonight. Bent as f**k.

TWO STONEWALL PENALTIES NOT GIVEN TO NEWCASTLE.

Fergie is corrupt as f**k! Oh the grudge follows Rafa even in the Championship. Kimbo, it's gonna be really tough for Newcastle if these shameful decisions continue, and you know they will.

Fergie absolutely hates Rafa's guts ever since Rafa exposed his chicanery in the EPL - documented and all. Since that moment, even the media turned on Rafa until they ran him out of town. TFS!

The grudge is so strong, they're gonna try to f**k him up even in this season. Fergie is something else. Corrupt son of a bitch!

It's always been like this, I bet it's years since we got a handball penalty, I've complained about it often.

Jesus you got more hard luck stories than the West Ham schmuck

RAFA OUT!!!

Nah, his tactics are a bit negative but the truth is players don't come here to apply themselves, they come for the 5/6 year contract. I don't know if it's fixable.

A win, a clean sheet, Rudy Gestede scoring goals. Strange days.

Okay, it's Rotherham, but lost to bloody Luton midweek, so gotta be glad to finally get a result.

Rafa's poor reign plods on.

The combined brain of Jose, Pep, Ancellotti, Simeone, and Conte couldn't change the fact that Newcastle attracts bums looking for an easy life.

I don't know if Rafa is overthinking the league - you probably needed a Steve Bruce for that league.

The first match you were robbed shamelessly by the ref. What happened against Huddersfield?

They're shite

The players don't really give a f**k, and Rafa needs to realise how poor the league is and set the team up to get at the opposition. A midfield with 3/4 CM's is overkill, though we need a really good CM before the window is over.

Yedlin sealing it for the Toon.

Really believe there is very good player in the making there.

Feels similar to the last time we were in this league, we ground out wins in the first half of the season because of our defence, then in the 2nd half of the season we started defiling teams. My only complaint is dropping Hayden for Colback today, I know Rafa likes some rotation but that takes the piss a little.

Forest player given a 2nd yellow for celebrating with the fans. What a load of shit.

Quickly turning into the GGG of the championship.

Oh my god

Final score: 4 - 3
'24 Gayle
'44 Dorrans (pen)
'52 Jerome
'69 Murphy
'71 Gayle
'90+5 Gouffran
'90+6 Gayle

FFS! I just found out about the great Newcastle comeback against Norwich. If I hadn't been watching La Liga mopping the floor with the Bundesliga, then I would've watched Newcastle's match.

Rafa just won the championship, Kimbo. They've played the best teams already and most on the road. Beginning with next match, $100 dollars on Newcastle every match until late December.

CA$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm not sure that is wise. We're favourites in every match and we're prone to complacency, we seem to hammer teams but don't take our chances and let them back into it.

Newcastle and Chelsea for the win!!!!!!!

CA$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Kimbo, CA$$$$$$$$$$$$$HHHHHHHHHHHH non-stop until after Christmas, then back to the drawing board.

So, this Championship thing is going well

Well it's going alright for us and Norwich.

Not sure why it hasn't worked out with Di Matteo, he did a good job at WBA last time we were here, they were a solid and fucking dirty side. I'm hoping you either take Huddersfield's manager or give it 'giggsy.
