Parker on bench for Fulham, Shelvey on bench for Newcastle.

Newcastle should piss this league, shouldn't they?

    With that squad and Benitez in charge they should do, if they get off to a good start in the first few games I wouldn't rule out something like a record points total.

    Best squad in the history of the championship. I think Perez, Ritchie etc. could end up rivalling Taarabt for best player ever in the championship (IMO)

    Ritchie is an unbelievable signing, he was good in the Prem.

    Remember when we almost signs Sone Aluko ? I wish that deal has come off.

    Button in goal for Fulham looks a completely different bloke. Bulked up and shaved all his hair off.

    Who's the guy in goal for Newcastle ? Never heard of him before.

    "On 29 June 2016, Sels completed a transfer to Newcastle United on a five-year contract for a reported transfer fee of £6.5 million"

    £6.5 million?
    For a goalkeeper?
    In the Championship?

    Absolutely crazy!

    Great to have normal football back. Just sad that the reality of our relegation is finally here.

    Forgot how bad the Championship was.

    Roll on L1.

    The passing is too slow and Gayle has no hold up play. Perez in the no.10 role also tries to run in behind, so there is no focal point in attack. Benitez will sort it out at half time.

    Nice block by Madl to get Smith free for the header.

    Shelvey a 77th minute sub in the Championship? Oh dear, it's gone very wrong.

    Yeah he could be stating against Bury in League One tomorrow instead !

    Newcastle all them 'creative' players and absolutely zero focal point in attack.

    Any reason why Mitrovic wasn't playing? Put him in that team and it's a whole different story. Would bully defenders in this league and has a great shot on him.

    I have an irrational dislike of Newcastle and would like to see them at the Valley next year in L1!
