What a fucking classless social media post

Game is crying out for Wilson or isak man.

Lacroix is an awkward player. Semi confident dribbler but gives it away constantly.
-
Eze looks in such bad form
-
We are like one level below this season, like Roma I think.

ah man, I will ball my eyes out if he scores tomorrow, like. Girl deserves that!

I can't fathom liking a manager more than I do our Eddie Howe. As much as I want Newcastle to be successful on and off the pitch, I want Eddie Howe to be the one doing that.

I actually miss Lascelles too tbh. -
Post match in the dressing room, the happiness. Ahhh man.

Not crying or anything.

Received all the gear last night -- 1. Track Jacket is pretty awesome, thin but def can be worn in the cooler temps 2. The Hoodie is fantastic, incredible actually 3. The t-shirt sneaky wins it for me, sort of perfect fit 4. The long sleeve kit is nice, not even sure when I'll wear it but glad I own it now.

Toon grow with new shrink Newcastle are hiring a psychologist who will be asked to provide psychological and behavioural assessments of prospective signings. The new employee will become a key component of the club's recruitment process and this, for me, is a move that should be applauded and is long overdue. To tell you why, I will share a story. It was the summer of 2015 and I was in Brussels to write a background report on Aleksandar Mitrovic, who was in the process of joining the Magpies from Anderlecht. The subsequent headline in the Daily Mail read: 'Newcastle's new striker is a five-year-old trapped in a monster's body.' The club were furious - they thought it was mischief-making - and it was said that a senior official slapped the newspaper down on a desk at the training ground. Within 16 minutes of his full home debut, Mitrovic had been sent off. His season finished with an equally reckless dismissal and a four-match ban. It would appear that, through conversations with those on the ground at his former club, I had known a little more about the type of character Newcastle were signing than the club did. Character references, of course, are part of the game, and Eddie Howe and his staff do their utmost to know everything about a player away from the football pitch. But the arrival of a specially trained psychologist who will provide detailed reports on the person behind the player is a smart move. The same employee will also be responsible for a wellbeing support plan for new signings and providing psychological support to loan players.

But, but, but, i thought Guehi was a Howe only signing to appease him.
-
His bit on Mitrovic is fucking insane. What kind of person writes that story?

NFL and Heavyweight Boxing ain't happening unless NCL airport expands inbound flights + quality hotel lodging improves. Concerts will no doubt increase with better facilties, assuming we would literally take anything that goes to Sunderland.

Moving it to the racecourse site or outside the city fundamentally changes the club's unique positiioning and relationship with the city centre. The club just cant up and leave the lease in place and whatever recourse would be involved with that.
-
Sometimes these municipal leaseholds on stadiums are pretty nuclear in terms of breakage. Like one even the mighty PIF wouldnt want to do given the ripple effects.
-
The impact to the city centre businesses pre and post match would be nuclear. That will 100% weigh into this issue. Also for the club to leave the current site they'd have to break the current lease, which I am sure is costly as fuck too versus some sort of amicable trade / pay off that locks the club in the city centre in exchange for that breakage.
-
Tino is a fantastic 1 v 1 defender and has great strength and recovery pace. Have noticed he has lapses where he seems flat footed when receiving the ball or is late to react to danger. Athletic did a piece on him last season that his greatest strength is aggressive ball carrying to the by-line and then cut backs low to feet or space in the box. Would like to see him get back to that when he's in the team.

Retro range out for delivery for me in the USA, woooo

No silent entry late to school with that jacket, could hear yaz from a mile away

unless corporate + stadium sponsor name = +25m a year, I am still struggling to see how this massively closes the PSR gap unless they raise ticket prices a massive % (which would go down awfully). Of course we will have a nice healthy bump of annual revenues from this for increased matchday income, some additional events/concerts, and of course some naming rights too I am sure. TBH, for me, this still is more about the next stage in our evolution as a club to have world class facilities and show the footballing world of our true ambitions.
-
Think they'll know moving outside of the city centre and not doing it either on current site, leazes or arena site will be nuclear to the fans particularly transport and all that.
-
Also I would like the club to release the stadium plan if it’s actually close before Darren steps away, it should be his legacy that he’s undertaken this massive new development (either new or expansion and renovation).

take a few steps back here — In 2010 they expected it would be about 700m USD, rose to 1b USD, and finally completed at around 1.6b USD. They broke ground in May 2014 and opened in 2017. That stadium cost would be 2-3x that now a days. The new NFL stadium in Nashville should cost over 2.1b USD. 60,000 seats. Context here is you need to exclude land cost in a lot of these numbers you see and just look at hard costs.
