SEMTEX

The rule does start this season from what I've read. I'm guessing mackems just put a patch on their players kits.

I know its probably to do with shirt size, but the puma and crest look a lot closer together, and the crest looks as wide at the stripe than on the leaked image... http://www.voetbalshirtjes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Newcastle-United-thuisshirt-2017-768x1097.jpg Shirt size plus the likelihood is that the official looking image is 90% PhotoShop. Along with every other official kit image. And almost every other clothing item available for purchase in 2016.

Interesting. Does the shitball league allow stripes on the back? The patch may have been just for PL.

He's renting the house. Cant rent a house for less than 6 months. Be class if he was using that as a reason to stay. I've got another month left on me lease man.

I want him to go to a massive club and win everything there is to win. Plus they have a nice kit for me to buy.

He probably lives in London anyway

Europa League claims another victim. RIP

You need to get your head out of the clouds mate.

Because he knew the state we were in when he joined. It's not like we fell from grace. So to come in then fuck off half a year later is a bit shitty. He wasn't even training with the first team before we bought him. But the agreement was clearly 'come in and keep us up, if you don't, we'll let you go for £X'. That amount has apparently been met. We didn't keep up our side of the bargain, I don't see why he should be looked down upon for not sticking with us. Don't get me wrong, hopefully the Rafa effect is enough to want him to give it a shot in the shitlands, but I won't blame him if it isn't, given the general state of our club.

I just don't see what's in it for him to "wait and see" for 6 months. He'll be expected to boss the championship and anything short of that is going to be bad for his stock. He has no links to us, why stay? It's not like this is an NUFC to be particularly proud of / enamored by.

come on man

I can't say I subscribe to "more harm than good", but I certainly don't think it's the greatest of move he could wish for. Then again if he wants London, then there really aren't too many realistic options for him.

That's exactly the reason he should stay at Newcastle. You don't often get the chance to play at a big club that is going places, one season in the championship isn't a lot to put up with in perspective. To give that up for fucking Palace? If it's true then he'll deserve it when they crash and burn next season. Jesus H Christ

The over-rated point is shit like. Everyone recognised that our team wasn't especially good. That has nothing to do with losing to Iceland, unless you're actually of the opinion that you'd prefer Kolbeinn Sigþórsson over Harry Kane in your team next year. I think there's an overall mentality issue with the England squad but I don't think it's born of arrogance, I just think there's no real desire/togetherness within the squad, and the only way of creating that is to have a strong leader take the reigns. So let's all hope Gareth Southgate is a passionate, technically-sound leader that demands respect in the locker room....

Yes, as I said, it is subjective.

Also, whether our club is "great" is pretty fucking subjective.

Would also serve as a significantly better shop window for a potential move to a non-shit club.

We would've sent hundreds of billions of people over there, and it's inevitable that a section of those people are bottom feeding cretins. And to go with them, you'll have the semi-cretins who end up joining in because they feel invincible due to the protection of the uber cunts leading the pack. It's just too easy to get over to France for a large amount of horrid people. I guess we won't have that problem for too long

London is his home though. I wouldn't be surprised if he took the move. There's really no reason to stay beyond Rafa and whatever affinity for the area he has garnered after 6 months of shiteball.

~20 icelandic flags in my office today. Bellends. Stamped on em all.

I'm wondering who the English managers "deserving of a chance" are, other than Howe?

We need a mental cunt imo. Someone like Kinnear but less reprehensible.

Need tactical nous, passion and ability to make brave decisions. Gareth fucking Southgate.

imm fuckin punch
