That's a surprising stat on first reflection. But when you consider they’ve been relegation fodder for most of that period it's not that surprising after all.

And we have a fantastic away record in 2024 so all should be good to add to those 6 wins
A bid for Onana, a big, powerful midfielder would have been such a difference. If not Onana then type.
Instead we want to tippy toe with our pussycat midfielders.
Makes me seethe.

Not a fan of Newcastle at all, quite possibly the most deluded fan base on planet earth. I am not usually one for getting into who is and who isn’t a big team, but fuck me, Newcastle are definitely not a big team - never won a proper euro trophy, won fuck all for 70 years, 4 league titles but 3 of them were over 100 years ago and we’re nearly at the century mark of their last title. 1 big ground in a 1 club city - easy pickings in terms of fans.
Bizarre notion they are everyone’s second team - they def aren’t, most can’t stand them and I loved it, loved it when United beat them to the title.
Whine like nobodies business about PSR as they thought when the Saudis came in they were going to be able to just buy success immediately despite not earning a bit of it. The money shot them up from being relegation candidates to being a side that competes for Europe (didn’t earn a bit of it remember) and all they do is moan about the “sky 6” stopping them from winning everything forever more due to having more money than everyone else - even though they didn’t earn it.
Will take a draw tomorrow

Is this what happens round here when the TW shuts, do people moan about not signing X player is match threads?
Should be a fun 4 months
Get with the programme man and start slagging off the Jawdees
We got absolutely pumped up there, last two seasons. 4-0 and 6-1. Granted both were near the end of the season and we were on the beach already both times, but there needs to be a serious change in mentality today.
This is a proper test of where we are. Nice to thrash Everton last week but as we saw with Everton yesterday, couldn’t be reading too much into beating Everton.

I don’t think some realise just how bad we are away from home, the team needs to show a completely different attitude if we are going to win.
We need a performance of genuine authority where we play with a swagger, too often we play “nice” but fragile football and collapse at the first sign of adversity. We saw exactly this against Leicester where we nearly lost the game after conceding a stupid equaliser. We have thrown countless points away from winning positions recently.
There will be moments in any game where you have to suffer or you concede a goal. That shouldn’t make us shit ourselves, when the players panic like that it tells me that they don’t really believe in themselves. I want to see a team that is ready for battle and can remain clear-headed even when it’s tough out there. Not a team that goes 1-0 up then forgets to kill the game.

Solanke's injury comes from someone accidentally falling on his ankle, it isn't too serious apparently, a case of ho-hum, shit happens.
He's not the first player to get a knock in his first week at work and won't be the last. Imagine the meltdown if he had broken his shoulder in his first training session, like Merino.
What's insane is peddling some narrative that we're somehow cursed, that his passing misfortune is due to some perceived "malaise" that pervades the club.
We would have travelled yesterday afternoon and stayed in a hotel.
First ‘ decent ‘ team we’ve faced so far although they don’t seem to be in great shape at the moment.
I’m not able to watch it today and have a rotten feeling I won’t be too disappointed in missing out.
wonder if they are not playing Solanke (still slight injury worry) is so he doesn't get international call up, and the medical team/fitness team have extra few weeks
Yeah Ange's language suggested it was more precautionary and not worth the risk. Spend 2 weeks longer so he's fit for a home debut against those south London fuckers.
Don't want go to in to the break on the back of a defeat ......a right fucking downer ..

Postecoglou's side now, so anything but a really strong performance is on him.
He clearly wantsa tyoe of player so he better deliver.
He has had 8 days.

He has had 8 days.
he's had nearly the whole of last season with 1 match a week, to put his ideas & style into play
Obviously the internet is a free country and all that, post what you like, where you like but can you at least see why randomly posting this in the Newcastle game thread might come off as mind numbingly repetitive?
The transfer window is done and we not only have Biss and Bentancur that play Onana’s position but spent 40m on Gray who plays there and Villa were linked with before turning to Onana when we signed him.
But still you are “seething” in the match thread when we aren’t even playing Villa.
Nothing personal, but you can't lose to a team with an incredible ugly motherfucker like Gordon in it.
