Newcastle players relegation commitment: ‘By this I hope to show my commitment to both the football club and the wider community of the north east, rather than just empty words…’
Ten years ago, I worked with a lad from the Midlands, who despite living in the North East was still mad about his local club. They were some bunch of no hopers who played in the Conference called Burton.
Ashley would have thought he could just get away with it once again, which would have meant no nine points and five game unbeaten run under Rafa Benitez. So basically, whichever way you look at it we were screwed.
