VV suggested New Zealand was a long way to trave
I remember last season when not having a tour of Asia was seen as a lack of ambition.

2008... the glory years according to some.
Not sure I can quite believe the Modric one, Newcastle seemed to chase him for ages.
Keegan sounded remarkably not bitter in this. and found it funny how fans were heckling for Keegan to have a go at Pardew, and then turns to support for Pardew in the end.

The board outlined research into Premier League clubs in relation to domestic cup competitions in the last five years, with Swansea City the only club outside the traditional top six to win a domestic cup and not be relegated in the same season (Birmingham and Wigan Athletic were both relegated). Independent research into the cost of relegation over the past ten years showed there is a 50% chance of not gaining promotion back to the top flight and a 30% chance of being relegated to League One or further. In addition, if clubs do return to the Premier League, it takes four years on average.

He just comes across as a very insecure man, which really wasn't his mantra as a player.
And christ that "research" into winning a cup is one of the most appalling things I've ever read.

Chroncicle may have outdone them, with their RT for a cup run, Fav for League Safety.

And in truth Newcastle have went for the cup most of the time.
Arsenal knocked Keegan's Newcastle out, due to being better. (R4)
Hull knocked Kinnear's Newcastle out. Due to Newcastle being genuinely horrendous. R3 (Christ that game, possible the worst performance I've ever seen.)
West Brom knocked Newcastle out, never saw the game, lineup looks quite strong.
Stevenage
Brighton I
Brighton II
Cardiff.
I think Brighton II was the only time, Newcastle didn't go for it. And Newcastle did have a genuine injury crisis at the time and were in serious relegation threat at the time. Newcastle were just poor in all of the other cup games.

Its a disappointing stat, however. It is possible to accidentally wind up in a Cup Final - I'm not sure Hull, Sheffield United and Wigan expected to be in the semi-finals this season, for example, but it is still disappointing to see.
The domestic caveat is because its the only one we've entered every season under Ashley, which makes the EL campaign more perplexing. It's also more disappointing they don't seem interested in a reprise of that, and are using it to hide the fact that their deliberate underinvestment left us with a squad too thin to compete in the first half of the campaign.

He was constructively dismissed the 2nd time - that's different to resignation.

Not really that risky is it.

Bent would be painful. Berahino might have promise, just maybe not £7million worth of it. Yet. Though such is the market force I guess.

Be a bit worried about there being too many Burundians in the squad, could lead to disharmony...
Cabella said something nice about Newcastle.
