The manager has done a superb job. The only player in the squad that most top teams will normally want is Guimaraes.

Most Arsenal fans doubted if Joe Willock was even a premier league level player, but he is now a key part of a Top 4 side.

A misfiring forward in Joelinton was converted into a powerful and skilled box to box midfielder,

Trippier has been influential too. He's got the most assists in the league for a defender. Isak also improved the quality of their attacks.

Kudos to Eddie Howe still.

im just saying,, im just saying

newcastle finished 12th last season, and now they are favourites to finish 3rd

arsenal finished 5th last season, and are guranteed to finish 2nd

newcastle reached a cup final aslo only lost to us

who then had the better season.


to me NEWCASTLE BY FARRR HAD A BETTER SEASON, cuz they have more to show for it,

from no conference or europa league straigt to champions league
from almost getting religated to championsleague


Do you mean to say better progress? Cos there's no reward for finishing 2nd to 4th in the league, only UCL qualification.

If Man Utd finishes in the top 4, only City would've had a better season than us.

And personally, I think it's sad because Carabao cup should not be something that takes a team like Man Utd above others. It's not a trophy one should be boasting about.

Arsenal had a better season than any PL team that doesn't win a trophy.
you can say Newcastle is the most improved team and that will be accurate.

Kudos to Eddie Howe as well. He has done a fantastic job. Dude dragged them through their bad patch in midseason to where they are now.

Of course the signings of Bruno, Trippier and Isak has helped him so much. If he was still fielding Longstaff in that midfield he wouldn't have had this much success.
We were linked with a move for Trippier but I like many others here was/were not very impressed considering his age and the fact that the Trippier we had known from his time at Spurs was defensively suspect.

Isak goal record for Sociedad was poor so, no top team considered him neither did fans rate him.

The only player of note is Bruno as Afrodoc highlighted in his reply yet they have gone ahead to do so well, well above expectations of even the most faithful Geordie.

I still don't think they have a squad as good as that of Spurs, Man Utd, Aston Villa (Debatable) 9r some of the teams they are above on the table. I did not include Chelsea and Liverpool because of the issue they have had to deal with in the course of the season. Eddie Howe and the players deserve all the praises they have been getting.

He is my manager of the season.

Nah, I don't think they have a better squad than United as well. But the fact that they weren't involved in Europe also helped them immensely, especially towards the tail end of the season.

If we were not involved in Yuropa league, I reckon we'd have a much better performance in the league. We'd be third on the table at worst.

Longstaff has played 32 league games this season o, starting 27 of them. I think he is usually the alternate to Guimaraes or starts when Joelinton plays in the forward line.

The other Longrod. Matty Longstaff. Scored in his PL debut vs Ole’s United.

I don’t think Sean Longstaff himself has been exceptional this season. Might be a squad player next season.

No, Sean hasn't been exceptional, but he has been very serviceable in a top 4 side. One has to credit the manager for that. Even Burns the LB does not look like a Top 4 LB. Many of them will become squad players as the team brings in more talented players, but the point is that the manager was able to at least raise their performances enough to get Top 4.

with the news of a salary increase being negotiated for Lisandro Martinez barely a year into his contract, do we still need further proof that there's some high level racketeering going on at Man United? I thought Ed Woodward has left his position.

we might never be a top dog again till these current owners hands off 100%.

this is why we make next to nothing from player sales. thank you Phil Jones?? immortal words.. dey play cheesy

The crazy thing is that Martinez is currently injured. Why the rush? The sensible thing to do is to wait and watch him play for one more season and see if the injury won't become reoccurring and if he'll bounce back to his excellent self after the injury.

I remember correctly, Phil Jones was injured when they gave him that new contract. If the idiots running the club had waited 6 months for him to recover, we won't be in this situation with him, as they would have seen that he won't fully recover well from that injury and just let him go.

Finally, this same idiots running out club almost gave Pogba a new 400k contract. Someone who was always injured. They were practically begging Pogba to re- sign. Thank God that one has the ego of a mountain, and was using them to do yanga, refusing to sign the contract. sure Pogba will be regretting not signing that contract now. This is to tell you how foolish they are at Man united

I think Saint Maxim got injured and Isak took his spot. By the time he returned there was intense competition for his spot because Gordon also joined from Everton.

All this Newcastle hype, i dont get it yet.

Can they be this intense every game, playing 6o game a season? I highly doubt it.

Most of their players are not used to it. Next season will determine that, and clear all our doubts

Which 3? They only got to the Carabao Cup final. They weren't in the title talk and didn't get anywhere in the FA Cup.

United didn't do well in the league either. But of the remaining 3 competitions, they got to two finals and we're eliminated in the QF of the Europa league. That's what you call pushing in a competition.

Ani come back when you're serious se. Cos this must be a joke.
