Is that a recent quote?

Can Broja play on the right in the above formation?

Getting offended by something trivial or over exaggerating your offence; particularly in a debate or conversation in order to derail it.

We conceded 20 goals from Jan 1st and managed to score 25. Our defence was already top half during that period, we need goals badly. If the budget was 90mil I can’t see them spending £70m of it on a GK, LB & CB.

Bottom line is we need to be spending more then the teams we are hoping to overtake. Assuming a broadly equal success rate in the market.

Wishful thinking but I do hope they’ll spend to this so called limit on the essential upgrades and then perhaps use it as a bargaining position to get 1 or 2 more in. ‘Luxury’ players if they can get them at the right price; Paqueta for example. ‘We’re happy with our window but we’ll take him at £X’

Fucking hell I would have thought a Newcastle forum would be one of the places where the term daft cunt would be taken as a benign jibe. Some pearl clutching going on here.

Yeah xG is a metric which shows a players ability to get into goal scoring positions & his team’s ability to get him the ball in those positions. Comparing xG with actual goals scored should give an idea on the players finishing ability.

Well that makes more sense, what a doyle

37 quid for priority on 1 game, seems kinda bad to me. Most people would be buying memberships solely for that; puts the cost of the ticket for the game above £70 and then you’ve got a useless membership for the rest of the season. I kind of get the idea, should be ~5 games.

This isn’t a NUST issue as I believe the 1 person per seat is a national rule for safety

He’s said the tout came round while they were still in the ground and collected the card

Managed to get one in the Milburn between 3 of us (shared). We only had 1 eligible supporter number due to always booking together through the same account. Blind luck, we all tried and one got a number in the 600s

This would be really solid and fits with the evolution mantra. Maybe they’ll splurge on paqueta late on if we can’t get Eriksen.

If signings are amortised over the length of contracts (for FFP) and we plan to make big improvements to our commercial deals next year then I don't see it as such a major hurdle to splash out this summer should the right players become available. We'd only really be stretching the budget for the initial year of purchase & if these signings help us push for europe earlier they pay for themselves.

Completely agree with this observation of Dubravka, hopefully one of the key areas Pope can improve us in.

We can rebuild him.

I believe you can transfer a ticket by providing a death certificate, a mate did it a few months back.

If you see the info from the screen grab you're eligible. I attended all my games last season with a mate who booked them on his membership, the screen is blank for me when i click season ticket or home tickets.

Current ST holders are eligible for an extra. ’the club has put additional seats on sale to fans who have bought a season ticket, single match ticket or membership at any point since 1st July 2019.’

Unsurprisingly the attempt to limit eligibility will be shafting people. If you attended every game this season with a mate who booked both tickets through a membership… you aren’t eligible. If you bought one ticket since 2019 you are eligible. Daft.

The stats being quoted were from 2021, bruceball era.

It’s difficult to compare from separate boxes in that stats graph (ie. De Gea to Darlow). You could argue quality of the shots faced on the ‘quiet’ side would be from higher quality opposition who manage to break down a superior defence and therefore more difficult to save. Then again you could just as easily say the shots faced on the ‘busy’ side would be more clear cut due to an inferior defence and therefore more difficult to save. Statistics, eh? Just to come full circle I think a direct comparison between Dubravka and Pope holds some merit as they’ve played in comparable teams.

£10m for a moderate upgrade at first choice keeper and, in turn, a significant upgrade at second choice is fantastic business.
