We've got a cracking tickets section on here now, largely thanks to @SteVand @tommo: https://newcastle-online.org/forum/6-tickets-travel. Anything related to tickets and membership will be covered thoroughly in there, and it's a cracking place to pick up spare tickets from existing season ticket holders/members too. I got help a few times when I'd missed out on the sale due to the online queue being insane.

By the end of last season it had been set at two per membership, yeah, because demand was so high. It had scaled up or down depending on the opposition before that. Like with season tickets, there's been no news on 2022/23 memberships (even for existing members) just yet but now the fixtures are out it can't be far away. Impossible to say what a membership would look like next season, unfortunately, or if there'll even be memberships at all.

Can someone please be kind enough to give us a little update of where we're at with this one? Last I saw was Romano (I think) saying it could be in a few days?

We’re not stalking again, surely?

There couldn’t ever have been a month like that these days, nobody to be fearful of at home.

It’s the second most stupidist thing I’ve seen, aye.

100% record, then.

Thought he was losing his edge a bit towards the end of the season, which was no surprise given he barely had a pre-season due to Brucey and then was playing with a groin injury throughout. If he's able to get himself to peak condition before next season, I can only see him kicking on and getting better.

Would love some Svenwashing today.

Cole for me, as well, supplanted by Ginola.

So aye, Chris Wood. Anyone remember the last one Edward’s was first to?

Just checked, it was The Mail that broke the Targett news. Simon Jones, after Hope had said it was still on the agenda.

Surely wasn’t on Targett?

Dyer would be refusing to play.

In the game against us, both Bentacur and Hojbjerg were feeding it into the front three with ease. I think they're both massively underrated as players.

Looking at these in addition to FBref, seems mad that Ibanez would be cheaper than Botman. However, hard to rely on data to tell the whole story.

Cheers chaps. Had been wondering about Ibanez for a while, as he seems to be right in the pocket in terms of age, position, profile, and nationality. Yellow card machine, isn't he? From the little I've seen of him, he's right-footed and more Schär-like in terms of style:

@Milanistamaking a Papiss-like start to his career here. Quality posts. There's no way I'd grumble if Botman went to Milan ahead of us, but I don't think he will.

Been struggling to keep on top of everything this week. Would people say it's only really Botman and Ekitike that have been strongly and consistently linked at this stage? Everything else fairly tenuous?

Putting the shit patter aside, I'd be chuffed if we managed to get him, and same with Ekitike. We're clearly very, very sold on both of them and their age profile is exactly what we need. I said it ages ago, but I do think that money will ultimately talk, and like with Bruno, he'll be making the correct long-term decision if he does decide to come here.

Di Marzio’s just said he’s much closer to signing for us, so that’s canny. Always said he was fast as fook: “During the program “Calciomercato – L’originale” broadcast on SkySport, journalist and market expert Gianluca Di Marzio intervened to take stock of the situation on the Milan market.” ”Finally, the Botman question: “The negotiation for the defender is complicated. Newcastle are back in charge, giving Lille very high figures.””

This slug transfers slower than he runs.

Aye, was going to post this. Some of the fucking nonsense being written, man.

Ando knew.
