  1. Newcastle with the 10th biggest spend in the premier league this year – Banging on about money on here. No mention of Chelsea being currently 10th and buying half the globe.

    Other clubs with massively questionable owners – Banging on about Newcastle. Weren’t Qatar interested in buying Liverpool? What about the media darlings Arsenal being sponsored by Visit Rwanda and the Emirates stadium? How about Manchester United having previous affiliations with a highly lucrative deal with Saudi-telecom?

    Talking about our shithousery – Clubs have been doing this for years, Newcastle haven’t just invented it. Simeone’s teams praised for years for being masters of the ‘dark arts’. Top teams previously praised for clever time management.

    Rather than trying to pick Newcastle apart, just give them credit lads, I know it’s hard for you. Bloody hell.

  2. Shay is and will always be a Toon legend. Wish he could have retired with us but he did the right thing for himself at the time after serving his club with honour. Pope is great and has the best stats for claimed crosses in the league right now but Shay was always in a Newcastle team without the spectacular defensive record that Pope enjoys, but Shay is the best pure shot stopper I've ever seen along with Cassillas and Khan. His reflexes were so quick that he was at times a spectator to his own reflexes. I'll never forget that save with his head. He won us points we had no right to earn and that's what makes a great keeper. Absolute legend!!!

    To the question where Howe is rated as a manager, I'd say 2nd after Pep this season. Pep has earned enough respect despite their current form but as well as Arteta is doing, it took some time to get there with better players than Howe had. This is only the second season for Howe and considering the players he's improved, our current form and how quickly he's gotten us playing progressive football with the best goals conceded in the league, I'd have to say Howe right now is probably second…

  3. They say Gk's should be tall,not less than 6ft but there was Shay Given,not the tallest but best in what he does.. What Pope is doing for us,he did that for Man City when they were growing as a team competing for trophies

  4. What a surprise, a channel that goes on aboot the $$$$ but ignores when it comes to the supposed big 6…Shay is a Toon legend, we love the lad! Get a statue noo….

  5. The levels of crying by city fans and anti united biased pundits over that equalizer are similar to the “hand of god” in 86. It was cheesy but no rule was broken, akanji should’ve played the ball but switched off. Current silly offside var rules will change because of this goal, so we should all celebrate it😂😂

  6. Shay Given was an exceptional player here in Newcastle but he was TOUGH as nails, very brave, one time Marlon Harewood ruptured his spleen or something like that. As a kid I was very sad he left. We could do with a few Irish lads in the club.

  7. Salty little midgets must of taken some stomaching to have some positive words said about Newcastle on your channel. Sure it'll be followed by more whining and tears about Saudi Arabia.

  8. Sauidi Arabia is fantastic country that contributes to the world social economical stability. I would challenge anyone to objectively prove thier arguments against Saudi Arabia obviously when they tell me what country they are from first.

  9. It’s great to hear from Shay he’s a great man and I was lucky enough to meet him additionally we sadly lost him to Manchester City because he grew angry with Mike Ashley and their misuse of the club and how we had Wise Llambias and Jimenez
