Newcastle United 1 Manchester United 4

Yet one more humiliation for the Newcastle United fans. When will it end?
I reckon we have come to the end of the 'lets stick together' phase and entered the deadwood clearance period
The obvious candidates Kluivert, Robert, and Butt. How any management team expect the other NUFC team members to 'die for the badge' with that lot swanning about contributing only to the opposition is beyond me.
Now that we shall be starting a new season without either the money or the attraction to new employees of European matches, it remains to be seen who will come to Newcastle United . I reckon this is when we shall see the true metal of Freddie. I hope he proves my instincts wrong and comes up with some real money for real footballers. I know there is a dread that we will drift towards a team of grafters without skill, but until we install some grit we are likely to remain, what we are at the moment, which is a lower half of the Premiership team.
