Ignore this @MidfieldGeneral, dont go to the Black Garter

 

Akenside is decent for the football around there. 

Haha cheers mate. I moved away from Newcastle many years ago but I'm fully aware of the infamous Black Garter 😂 

Me & the gf are staying on the quayside tonight. Does anyone know any where round here that'll have the game on?

Is he on the staff now?

Was an article in the Chronicle about Given today. He's on the tour as an ambassador for the club.

Id give Sky a call up and try and negotiate a better deal with TNT included. It's amazing how much they'll reduce price or throw in things if they think you may leave. 

Even more so if you cancel altogether. 

My TV, phone & broadband was £160 after my offers had expired. I rang up last week and they offered me a £30 discount so I cancelled everything apart from the broadband. 

If previous cancellations are anything to go by I'm expecting at least 3 or 4 better offers before the month's notice runs out. 

If not, sod them, I've got a dodgy box 😂

So I've got Sky which I pay about £100 a month for, what is the best way to watch the Champions league stuff ? It looks like that new TNT sports replacing BT will cost about £29  a month which I'm not keen on.

I've got BT sports through EE. 

I think I pay £25 a month for 160gb of 5g data, unlimited calls and texts plus BT sports big screen. Can use the app on my phone, xbox, firestick, etc. Best value I could find.

My DH Gate order came today. Can't fault it like. Got the CL patches on it too. Can't believe I got this bought and delivered from China for a tenner like.  

Which seller was that from mate ?

Unless he is injured Manquillo must be away this summer. We had 3 left backs on the bench on Monday and no right back. Considering Tripps was a, possible, doubt it was mad having no replacement on the bench in case of emergencies. Ashby was only added to the squad when big Joe had to be replaced.

Don’t agree with that decision. He’d learn way more being with England 

Unless he's gonna be on the bench tomorrow. Hate having no cm option on there.

I can't remember when, or what the scoreline was at the time, but Tripps had the ball towards our corner flag & Gordon was in acres of space down the right. If he'd ran forward a simple ball could have been played & he could have ran into a dangerous area with it. Instead he came backwards to receive the ball & then played it into a heavily congested midfield. 

Watching a winger take that option is unbelievably frustrating to watch. 

What bits I seen of him at Everton he looked extremely direct & used to charge round, aggressively, at 100mph closing down the opposition. 

I've yet to see anything like that since he came here. 

Glimpses of something in the odd appearance but yesterday was pitiful. 

Murphy has shown far more this season & would have been a much better option off the bench yesterday. 

Has anything been mentioned about him picking up an injury? 

Certainly looked in discomfort when he came off & apparently he was seen leaving the ground limping. 

Has Abraham been poor this season? 

Loads of transfer speculation around him, a year or so ago, and the figures were upwards of £50m.

Was reading the other day that he's now available for £25-30m.

Does anyone know if you can take a backpack on the stadium tour?

Wilson will need replacing  after next season. But he's still hungry albeit injury prone. João Pedro from FC Watford would be fantastic, but seems like he's of to Brighton.

So guess we have other plans now since we've not entered that.

Someone told me yesterday that we'd turned our attention to Vitor Roque & that's why we haven't gone back for Pedro. He's no ITK so not sure where he'd heard or read it. 

Personality know very little about Roque apart from seeing his name mentioned on here. 

I'd say the majority do it now apart from Netflix mate. 

Prime, Paramount, Sky, Disney, Apple, etc all do it. 

We hate having to wait a week for just about everything we watch atm. 

Totally agree that he should have been credited with an assist but can, begrudgingly, understand why he wasn't. 

Watched the highlights, quite a few times yesterday, and the ball was definitely played for Wilson. The deflection stopped it reaching him and dropped nicely for Murphy. 

The report I seen said we'd bid 100m euros for him 18 months ago.

Glad you like it. Was in the club shop the other day and they had that shirt for £65. 

I've had a proper look at it tonight when I've got in & I have to say it's the most legit looking snide I've had to date. 

Material feels better quality than one's I've had in the past. The fit is much better than normal. It's got the little castore patch on the bottom right. Castore tag in the back & also on the wash label inside & it's even got a genuine looking castore price tag attached to it. 

I've not actually seen a legit one in the flesh but I'm sure it wouldn't be worth £53 more than this cost. 

My 130th anniversary shirt arrived from DH Gate today. Thanks to @pedro111 for the recommendation.

ordered last weekend and was shocked at how quick it arrived, although postage suggests it's came from Cannock.

Decent enough quality, no sponsor and the badge is stitched on which is a bonus.

Bout two weeks ago. Took a week to ship then a week to get here. I am shocked at the speed tbh.

Can you post a link mate ?

These player tackle bets on Bet365 are flying in just now 

Are they on bet builder?

Sorry, missed this earlier. It was on 365. Going forward you can assume any bets that I post are from 365 unless specified .

Cheers mate

Mixing all the comments above you can get:

 

2+ cards for each team in the below matches @ 9/1 

 

Cardiff vs Leeds

Atletico vs Barcelona

Roma vs Milan

Seville vs Getafe

Where's that on? 

I definitely think we'll sign 2 midfielders in this window. 

Would have been one before Shelvey joined the sicklist again. 

I dread the thought of having to change formation if we lost 1 or 2 due to injury or suspension. 

Apologies if this has already been shared. Definitely worth watching more than once.
