Yes, because Rafa Benitez is totally going to pander to a couple of personalities like that and not just drop them straight away and never use them again. Have to admit, we'd be absolutely mental to watch as a team. And will be in the tabloids 24/7.

Look at me, look at me, living in Toronto, fucking pathetic... I'd happily be somewhere warm right now.

Haha, hey, I'm a working class drudge living in cold, wintry Greater Toronto Area, this is all I have going for me lunchwise.

Solid post.

Rafa deserves to be put on a pedestal for firstly coming to the club and trying to keep us up and then staying and bringing us back up at the first time of asking. This was a huge thing given our owner and the last decade or so at the club. He has United a disenfranchised fan base, given fans a team to at least be proud of or a team to respect if not exactly admire ability wise and has restored belief and hope in the club among fans that had disappeared big time. He has done that not by being a great manager, but by being a great man, a humble man who works extremely hard and knows, understands and values what a football club is all about - it’s fans. He’s fucking ace in that respect and if he were to be backed in a similar way to what KK and Sir Bobby both were I’m in no doubt he will be a huge success here and would IMO deliver that elusive long awaited trophy trophy. I just feel given the context, historical aspect and the football we played and the era, KK will probably never be surpassed as a manager of our club. Someone will win us more than he did/didn’t one day, but we will never ever see a team like that or an era and that was all down to one man really, well two, SJH who gave KK such a free hand. It was mainly down to KK though. At NUFC the manager needs that free hand to run things, Rafa has that other than funding and sadly that’s why a CL winning manager who is for me one of the best in the world right now, could well see a second relegation of our club on his CV - as good as he is. We reallymissed the boat when we sacked Sir Bobby or failed to move him upstairs. Liverpool got rid of Houllier and got Rafa in and the rest is history. We got fucking Souness. I sadly think Valencia and Liverpool saw the best of Rafa and we never will. Anyway, PL era for me it’s the following: KK ——————-> SBR —————-> Rafa/Hughton I’d love nothing better than Rafa to the manager of an ambitious NUFC that wants to compete and tries because he deserves it and so do we. A match made in heaven really! That takeover has to happen though... Just in time for my lunch break. Should get through this by the time I finish my frozen pasta pack.

Someone needs to visit one of those famous Amsterdam cafes for a bowl. Chill, Unbelievable

Ohhhhhh shit, boss. This is good. It's not the same as before, the layout's different, but I can work with this. Cheers Edit: Thanks for getting to this so quickly.

LoL they sound so dumb.

Finished here, tbh. Sell him along w/ Mitrovic, iyam. Sell him TO Mitrovic, I'd say.

Finished here, tbh.

If that was us, you'd be moaning about buying one of our relegation rivals' second, third or fourth choice striker. Fair comment tbh. We already did that with Joselu So true

Nothing still beats Mrs. Thauvin.

Luuk De Jong Mark II

He rarely makes the bench to be fair. A bench too far.

I don't know. I've seen enough of him to risk jinxing this and saying he may score a goal or two, but he still lacks composure in front of goal, and they won't really be signing Cisse in his prime or anything.

He'd be the King's ideal player tbf

Would take. Barely seen any of him so won't make a judgement. Does he play often for Leicester? Is his scoring record any good? Hardly played for Leicester but had a good record before. Hmm. Would prefer some of the other names mentioned but I'd have him. At least it's a striker more able than our current ones. Can't wait to hear vs Burnley if we get him everyone to go mental at him after his first poor touch. Hounded out immediately. Soft forrin. Brexit means Brexit. I mean, he's not even trying. His first name is Islam.

Mitro with a point to prove for our relegation rivals is a recipe for typical NUFC irony we're all familiar with. Cue Lua Lua-esque backflips as he scores to keep them up.

Haha, no worries. Now it makes sense, and totally understandable.

Ballsack. Typical of this regime, tbh. I kid, I kid.

Usually log in daily. When I did see issues I figured it was a temporary quirk or just my phone acting up. Didn't realize the mobile theme / feature was actually broken. Is it a thematic issue, do you need more money to get it fixed? I can contribute / pay. Yes, I miss the mobile theme that much

I don't really care because I use tapatalk now, but not a single sensible web-standards group would say using the full version of this site on mobile was acceptable. By all means do it, but don't try and claim you're not niche af. Out of the mobile options, I prefer the (still existent) WAP version anyway. It just needs to be publicized better. Yup. No idea why something that wasn't broken was "fixed." Been using the mobile version for years, as 99.9% of web browsing occurs in the web browser. Having to get an app like Tapatalk to access web content is so early smartphone years. Most companies are going the opposite way, of making their desktop versions mobile friendly. Anyways, I'll have to figure out a way to live with this, I suppose. I'll try the WAP link Wullie posted.

Good to have someone in the mainstream media aside from Big Al who actually likes us and knows a bit about us.

You can still use the WAP site, which is what I have always used: https://www.newcastle-online.org/forum/index.php?wap2 Oh I see, I'll try that. Thanks.

Seems like a backward step, considering most of the internet traffic now is mobile. I don't like Tapatalk as I don't wanna use another app for accessing a website, essentially. But I'll have to now, I guess.
