Still amazed at that. Its like Harvey Keitel doing car insurance ads.

You thought correct.

Hope Rafa doesn't mind flights. Some of the away games are 1500 miles away.

He's gone to Dalian Yifang in China on a £12m deal https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48831519 Quite surprised by that. Obviously its all about the money, but disappearing off to a backwater league that nobody cares about on the other side of the planet would seem a strange career move...

Maybe, but I gather his family are happy and settled up norf, which is probably one of the main factors in him hanging around in that shambles of a club for the last 3-4 years, no doubt on a kings ransom. He'll have his pick of clubs now. I'm actually quite tempted to sneak a cheeky bluey on...

The takeover sounds dubious. This same mob were apparently in negotiations to buy Liverpool a couple of years ago, but in the end they just didn't come up with the readies. When takeovers happen, you usually tend to hear about it when its actually happened, not after endless weeks of...

I think I read somewhere that Ashley was offering him a transfer budget of £50m next season, which is basically treading water. The only surprise for me is how...

True, but surely a manager the calibre of Benitez should be in charge of one of the big European clubs challenging for honours, not pissing about with a basket-case yo-yo club like Newcastle, where the best he was ever going to achieve there was exactly what he did - mid table. I don't really...

Cue the geordie meltdown. He was always far too good for them anyway, I'm amazed he lasted this long. Denis Wise already on his way up the M1 ?
