Watched his highlight clips and his lanky build and technique remind me of a cross between Sammy Ameobi and Ayoze. 

I am unconvinced he is worth the price (from my own bullshit youtube scouting), and I hope I am wrong. 

makems have been the better side TBF. Hopefully Wednesday will be able to turn it around next half. Bigger picture - losing the finals or being relegated back to League One would be my first two choices for their fate. 

Done. 

I sincerely hope that everyone going down all these rabbit holes is helping folks process this. I mean that. This is complicated and we all love the club.

Thanks brother, I laughed my ass off. Likely due to a few pints. I gotta watch it tonight since kick off is at 6:30am tomorrow.

That sounds great. It's 4:30 AM for me. 

Apologies if already asked and discussed before... his name is pronounced Why-Mare-ish right? (That is "Mare" as in "Nightmare.")

He is a genuinely unlikable person. He has never been well liked at any of his past clubs. I suspect he is either a sociopath or a massive dickhead (probably a bit of both). At Madrid not a single player extended a hand out to him to sort him out and so he lived in a hotel the entire time and didn't bother to learn Spanish - that always stood out to me. He had that ONE game where he worked well with Shearer and it was for England, not Newcastle.

This and cancelling parachute payments, I a waiting for an emergency meeting to abolish the January transfer window, but just for this season. 

Park the bus, play 5 at the back, rest Wilson (play Gayle up front), and do damage control to our goal difference.

I'd like to think the club are now smart enough to sign players from two different sets of criteria.

 

1. Sign players who are young, who have hunger, talent and have no qualms with spending a year in the championship if necessary. But top young players who seem themselves as a level above the championship. Signings for the future who will give us a good base.

 

2. A few hail mary swings, mercenaries who are ready for a big juicy pay cheque. Loan signings like Coutinho etc, who will come in for six months in the hope of keeping us up. So long as we don't tie ourselves up with these players, they have to be worth the gamble.

 

There is a 3... players like Tarkowski, Lingard etc, who are in their prime and looking for a good move. These will be almost impossible to attract, if it looks as though we are going down. They will want long contracts and won't want to spend their best years in the championship.

 

 

 

Not to be completely evil, but I think there is also a fourth: good players from other struggling sides. 

Someone like Kalvin Phillips would improve our squad sure, but him leaving Leeds would be even more crippling for them. Offer him (and similar players in the other bottom 6 or so) a ridiculous amount of money and see what happens. 

The likely outcome is a loss with us scoring at least one. So 3-1 or 3-2 to Arse. 

If we are thinking of past games though, I would love to see a repeat of the December 2001 result with us winning 3-1. Seems unlikely as we don’t have Shearer to knock in a pen and Robert scoring the third on a breakaway. Also IIRC Kanu missed a couple of sitters so the shoreline flattered us in the first half. 

Charlton and Pompey seem to scare these. Bogey teams marra 

Really should have scored in that scramble. 

Also not happy about Howe. Overrated - as are most British managers.

No need wormy. They fixed it. I think we need to let people live and learn. 

I had no idea East Anglia has the same shield as Sweden. 

Glad they changed it. No need for us to assist in the Sportswahing.

Nout wrong with that! That kit was lush apart from the awful sponsor logo

Agreed. I have that shirt without the logo (they sold ones in the USA without the FUN 88) and it is easily my favorite NUFC kit that I currently own. 

Gutted. Baddies win again. 

Sorry to hear that HTT. As far as another academy, fancy a move to Southampton?

I live in Denver proper. My area is called West Colfax but I’m right on the border with Sun Valley where Mile High is. 

Got it, I thought you meant you live across from Dick's Arena or whatever its called where the Rapids play. 

Cubaricho, you live in Stapleton? I have been there a bunch of times. I visit a good friend of mine who is also a supporter (from South Shields) lives on Valentia Street. Small world. 

I am curious where he will end up. I think he can "inflict" football well for a team in the Championship... IF he could stay fit. 

Alan Curbishly. He's perfect for Ashley. A PFM who has been out of the game for over a decade and has never stepped a foot north of the Watford Gap. Curbs for me lyke. 

I hate to lose to Allardyce. Really hate that so much I would like us to win.

I thought for a second this was a political statement about Obama being a fake left (actually neo-liberal).  That would also be an accurate statement.
