I still don’t see any long-term future/use for Aleksandar Mitrovic at Newcastle United BUT…

‘Couldn’t believe how they cleared off at 3-0. At the end of the game probably only 400 of the 1,800 Newcastle fans remained.’

FA Cup defeats for Newcastle and Brighton has at least minimised fixture change carnage for supporters.

Rafa Benitez has to accept criticism…but he’s not infallible. He’s not God, or the Messiah. That was Keegan and even he got criticism!

Michael Appleton “With the squad Newcastle have got, this surpasses beating Arsenal at the Emirates…”

Rafa Benitez “We didn’t underestimate Oxford…”

Hate to criticise a man of Rafa’s standing, but he’s fluffed it today, as have the players who came in – Oxford 3 Newcastle 0.
