Thats a pretty good write up actually. I think more could be made of the fact we've achieved it whilst still being +80% fans owned (one fan one vote) and the troubles around raising the money to build Plough Lane, crowd funding and selling off bonds in the stadium etc

Only oligarchs get press coverage.

Sergio Aguero forced to retire from football at 33 due to a heart condition. His goal-scoring stats are unbelievable.

EPL title race over

Liverpool now 11/1, Chelsea 23/1. Man City now overwhelming favourites to retain the title. Eight points clear. I think this will be Over Before Easter.

Nice, however Eddie is going to need a few more buys unless he is preparing for the championship title

Yes, aiming for 17th spot is the first challenge.

@hooroo Hopefully Woods gets a nice retainer for it. Burnley will be gutted even though his form this season hasn't been great.

Quite astute from Howe picking a player who has a release clause in his Contract, knowing every club he approaches is going to inflate their asking price for players otherwise. Wonder what Ronaldos release clause is 😉

Nice payday for him

Well, you know he doesn't get that right? Burnley gets that.

Either way it's a fair way above what he's worth .... But thats something Newcastle has to deal with now that everybody knows they have bottomless pit of a bank account.

Good on him though, maybe he will win the Halberg too! Nothing like saying your best sportsman in the country is probably the 10th best striker in a European league .

I imagine he will get a wage rise
