Is this lad one of their 'generational talents' or do they have more than one?

Jesus, they're utter pigshit these days. Absolute dross

Exactly. They've found and exploited loophole after loophole and it's all been waved through by the PL as 100% legit. The more ridiculous it sounds the more of a joke they appear to be. Not much different from a cynical side stopping attack after attack with tackles in the middle third and the ref allowing them to get on with it. At some point you have to say "well if they're always going to get away with it then why would they stop? No sanction at all, don't blame them"

Bet you still got her number though you absolute fucking rascal

Yep. It'll go exponentially ballistic mate

I don't disagree but I think that's cancelled out by the people who would love to go but currently don't bother with the ballot as the prospect of an 80% failure isn't worth my time or effort. The demand to see this team is huge, the opposition is largely irrelevant. Hundreds of thousands of people just want to see NUFC play football against someone

I could well be in the minority here but I think we'd fill 70k for any competitive fixture we played. The lowest demand I can imagine would be a L3 team up here in he LC on a Tuesday night but even that would eventually sell out, with sensibly priced tickets, imo. How often would that happen though? Once every couple of years? Any domestic fixture - sold out, the overwhelming majority of European fixtures - sold out. The demand to see this team is already through the roof and there are thousands of fans who don't even bother to try and get tickets now as the demand is already sky high. Now we've won the first one we're only going to get bigger, better and attract more and more fans from other countries Build it once, make it huge

Yeah, I meant if City or Forest finish top 5, and either win the cup, it's EL for 6th and 7th? Didn't make it clear

So where does that leave 6th and 7th places then? Assuming City and Forest finish top 5, would both 6th and 7th be Europa or just 6th?

That would be a bit too far, as would half and half like Blackburn, but I just like the fact they've at least put some thought into it and tweaked it

If that's the shirt then I'm a fan. I can understand the hate but I've mentioned before that there's only so much you can do with black and white stripes, they have to come up with ways to mix it up a little and the variable gradation of the stripes makes it different to every other Newcastle home kit. It would look even better if the stripes were on the back too but that's a battle we're not winning unfortunately. At some point they need to mix it up or we just kit every year with virtually any significant differences. Damned if they do, damned if they don't etc

Apart from the worst Man U team of the last 30 years because he was too fucking lazy to even run about

In theory the next 5 seasons of Isak's career should be his absolute peak. He's already generally regarded as one of the top strikers in the world, is proven in multiple Leagues and is still getting better and better. I'm not surprised other huge clubs want him and would love to sign him, it's inevitable and he's bound to be in demand. That doesn't mean we can't turn down every bid that potentially comes in for him though, he's essentially priceless imo The only thing that changes things is if he's making noises about actually wanting a move away, that would mean we have to cash in but I think it's unlikely this summer and sincerely hope he signs a shiny, bumper new contract soon. He's magnificent

Absolute shitpinger for Sweden
