Newcastle fans face a return to reality this weekend as the Premier League TV schedule makes a comeback for their first game – against Tottenham – under new Saudi Arabian ownership.
Talk around the Toon has been dominated by the exit of Mike Ashley, arrival of the PIF sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia, and the wild, glitzy names their money will be spent on.
However, while the future looks bright, the short-term forecast looks bleak. Steve Bruce may take charge of his final game as Newcastle boss this weekend following a winless start to the campaign after seven games and his side in the relegation zone.
Like the documentary which feels like a lifetime ago, Spurs have been all or nothing this term so far with three wins to start their campaign, followed by three defeats… then another win, against Aston Villa.
Nuno Espirito Santo must galvanise his creaking squad before it’s too late to challenge for European places and more this season. Harry Kane remains under the spotlight following a muted start to the campaign.

Our prediction: Newcastle v Tottenham
St James’ Park will be rocking on Sunday. A sell-out crowd is expected on Tyneside to herald the coming of a controversial, yet inevitably prosperous, new era for the club.
However, Bruce can’t allow his players’ eyes to wander beyond the present. They’re in a mess. A real mess. And the threat of relegation is more than just a vague possibility.
Spurs have had an international break to regroup, recuperate and ready themselves for another crack at climbing the Premier League table. They’re not suddenly fixed, but looking at their opponents’ probable XI, Spurs can’t afford anything less than a victory here.
Our prediction: Newcastle 0-1 Tottenham (17/2 at bet365).
