Newcastle look favourites to win the league and fulham look like they've got relegation written all over them. For this reason im going to say fulham win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Can only foresee a Newcastle win. Fulham haven't done enough in the market yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_ Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Newcastle will be in for a shock tonight. Can still see Benitez underestimating the division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can still see Benitez underestimating the division People keep saying that. Really isn't the case. Fulham underestimated it. Magath let too many senior players go at that time, and thought McCormack + youth would be enough. Newcastle have invested heavily in proven performers. No underestimation there.

prowl Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'm not sure Newcastle are a team. Some great players at this level but if they don't play as a team they could be very inconsistent. Having an a**wipe as an owner can't help matters. Personally I hope they have a bad season. I like the fans but the club has been a car crash for years.

The crux about buying high end Championship players is the potential promotion. Considering Benitez has spent over the odds for most of the players, will those same players play up to the price tag in the Premier League?

Considering Benitez has spent over the odds for most of the players, will those same players play up to the price tag in the Premier League? In most cases, yes I think so. Mo Diamé did well up there with West Ham. Ritchie didn't look out of place at Bournemouth in their first prem season. Hanley is maturing as a centre-half - so is Clark. Wasn't Gayle Palace's top scorer despite limited game time? I think they've bought players capable in either league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'll be praying all season Newcastle fail. It's beyond ridiculous clubs can drop down with a huge war chest to buy who ever they want. Can't see anything other than a Newcastle win though tonight. Really hope I'm wrong.

pickledegghiderman Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Just had a look through fulhams squad. My oh my they're in deep poo poo. Just cant see who is going to score enough goals for them and they dont look clever in defence either. Hopefully they can fluke a result tonight though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
