If City get relegated to the bottom league, will Sky still refer to the big 6?

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

For City, let punishment fit the crime. Remove them from the seasons involved in the charges. No asterisk, just removed from the record. Fine based on earnings during that period (close to £700m). Transfer ban for the same period. Current players free to leave. They could only replace with youths.

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Agree. Never too comfortable sending young lads in the shore things up or see out a win

011

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Yeah. Glad we won today. Gives players a rest plus MJ to drill some of the team on tactics and playing together. Fortunately we don't have too many off on international duty

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Glad someone has taken a chance on him. He could easily have gone to a Turkish or something league

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

That next 5 could be good as well. Some potential trip ups but would hope for at least 8 points. Would love 12

020

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Think I'd like to see him be more aggressive. He is tidy and neat but he's shown glimpses in previous seasons of his attacking ability.

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

He seems very vocal. Something I think Miley lacks. Want to see Miley getting a bit more agro

000

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Haven't seen the game but if an 18yo can have a game like he did against Leeds then turn around and pull out a top performance, then think that says a lot about his personality.

120

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Be interested to see if he makes changes at half time

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Felt a game like this was coming. Live and learn. Be interested so see the response in the second half. This will tell us a lot about the rest of NUFC's season

050

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I know it's only 4 games in but if Spurs fail to score/win this game, you'd seriously be considering a new manager, right?

000

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Think he's just going to run Willock into the ground until he breaks

100

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Unbeaten in league and cup. Scoring goals. Yes, the defence needs to get better and fast. It's been fine margins but in the past we would have been on the losing side of those margins.

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Just keep saying "It's a transitional season. It's a transitional season."

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

That's what I was thinking. Might be able to adapt to the game and bring on reinforcement when needed. Imagine that

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Dad was a Newcastle fan (from Durham) and i inherited it. Though my brother is a Liverpool fan. My son is a Newcastle fan ( we live in York) because of me

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I read his Londoners book. Loved it

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Looks like he plays mainly as a striker but seems we've bought him as someone who can play across the front three. If that's true, it's ideal as we don't have a back up 10 or RW, and could take pressure off Wissa and be long term replacement

000

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

What position is he? Is this a Woltemade replacement or is he more of a wide player

100

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Honestly, kind of feel like any addition now is a bonus. Feels like we've got a proper squad. Yes, there are weak spots but wouldn't worry if we didn't get anyone else in

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Have always said that getting a keeper who can play from the back just adds stability and calmness throughout the whole team. It's what we've missed. Think it could be a game changer for us. Think it's why Botman has improved

080

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Feels a bit like a Schar signing. Not huge fan fare, but just ready for the league. Solid, bit of flair, and hugely underrated

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Watching the highlights and loving how strong Hornicek's hands are. Was same against Liverpool - when he saves the ball is proper pushed away.

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Think it gives him time to get fully back up to fitness. And put some pressure on players to perform. It's what we've needed - proper competition for places

160

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Thought we'd struggle in those first two games. But we look good. Unfinished but good. September fixtures look good on paper as well. Could build up some momentum

150

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Elanga seems like a changed man both on and off the pitch. Just much happier and full of life.

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Hoping he gets a run out tonight and gets a goal. Not sure he has the intensity for the new set up but then again I didn't think Wissa did.

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Think he's a great player on his day. But injury and not fitting into our previous system has held him back. As a squad player, I'd keep him unless we replace him like for like

000

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Maybe. Was thinking Dedic are LB and Shahar at RB

100

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Line up for West Brom Jaueon Dedic Schar Thiaw Shahar Ramsey Bamba Steur Murphy Woltemade Toure

120

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Notice when it's Newcastle it's "strongly wanted by the club". When its one of the big 6, it's "He only wanted X".

020

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Was surprised you see Willock come on instead of Woltemade but clearly made the right choice. Still think he's a great player but maybe just not a great Newcastle player

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

He looked strong. Dedic as well. Again, first choice back 4 is good. Still need cover for Hall. The bigger question is what we do with Willock. Thought he was great when he came on

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Would like to see Toure on for Barnes at some point. Feel Barnes slows down our counters

130

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

So much. It's a perfectly timed pass, the kind he didn't make so much last season

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Plenty of positives from that half. Even if we don't get it over the line, there's lots to like. Hornicek looks good, Wissa a different person (though playing v deep), Steur and Miley calm in the middle. Be interesting to see what happens at half time and whether we change things up at all

020

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

You're right. Either I missed that or BBC is gaslighting me

110

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

No Gonzalez in squad and City just signed a new CM. Looks like he's going. Where is the big question.

100

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Think we can knock another £5m off Bergvall price after today

000

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Think things like the Conference Also just make like worse. Almost as it was created to keep teams at bay. Give them extra games so they can't challenge for the top

110

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I'd hope so but I look at what's happening with City's legal issues and wonder

010

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

How many years though. How many years of them hoarding the best players, build up cash reserves, draining lower clubs

100

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

It's quite possible that the so called big 6 will actually finish as the top 6 in the Premier League this season. And that would not be a good thing for football.

The big question when Trump is finally out of office, is which one of his many corrupt acts will be the focus of the inevitable film.

000

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Add that to the commercialisation if the World Cup, the shear corruption throughout, the delayed City court case, and yeah, it's broken.

030

Jonathan JE Brown @berty2001.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Yep. Agents are a blight on the game.
