No gloating or otherwise intended, just stating facts. Discuss, civilly please, no nastiness.
This doesn't show alot, Newcastle are a more established club, not alot else to say
Who actually cares....neither of us have won anything recently and it has been 10 years since we were even in the champs league.
We are both now established prem league sides but cant see either winning anything anytime soon.
