SEMTEX

Just a, somewhat arbitrary, different culture innit. For the upcoming game in Philadelphia the missus was trying to get me to buy snidey white tshirts off Amazon that basically just say Newcastle and have the crest on. The kind of shit some old maid sells on Etsy for $40. I tried to explain that the only way to make our friends appear like legitimate Newcastle fans is if they're wearing actual jerseys. So if you see a row full of bellends in snidey Amazon Newcastle tshirts, come say hi.

From the perspective of whom? It's obviously a big owld money making scheme, but it's really the major piece of merchandise that fans will buy. There is really no clamour for all the DIY looking one-off tshirts and shit that plague other sports. NEWCASTLE UNITED CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 23-24 and all that bollocks. People just want the kit. (not that these things aren't produced)

Dubs and Darlow should absolutely leave. But Karius remaining 3rd choice behind Dubs for this 2nd half of the season makes me think Howe doesn't really want Karius as anything more than a 3rd body.

We have a Tottenham thread and a Sunderland thread. I'm not sure being special has anything to do with thread creation.

Can someone quantify what his current rating is? How is one to deem him under/over rated without a rating?

If you find an American name generator it’d probably only take about 5 spins before B.J. Callaghan popped up tbh

I mean if you sign for Newcastle you're signing up to do a lot of running. I'd probably just take the Dele Alli route.

If TransferMarkt is to be believed even Andy Carroll has a contact until 2024 ffs. What are reading playing at?!

Doesn’t seem the best route to winning the quadruple, nor for his career progression… I would imagine he’d be better off getting regular football like Garang. But I guess the alternative right now seems to be leave an empty gap or sign Kazenga LuaLua.

Has the topic of homegrown players been discussed yet? We need 4 club trained youth products, and from what I can tell we have… Longstaff, Anderson… ?? We can extend Dummetts contract I guess, or just include a bunch of children, but that doesn’t really seem the most ideal route to smashing Real Madrid in the Bernabeu. Am I missing someone? Might be time to spend big $$$ on bringing back… Krul? Forster? There don’t appear to be any outfield players worth retrieving.

Given we’re winning 3 cup tournaments and the league next year, we need 4 starting centre backs. Eddie has to work out how to rotate his defenders.

Wish the lovely cunt would have blasted a shot front post before the half rather than try and cross to ASM through the inexistent space between kepa and the defender. Shoots any other time he gets the ball in the opposition half

Luton’s historical home kits are very confusing to me. I am obviously unwilling to google the logic behind it, but either way I’m not sure I could abide an orange and blue home kit. I only remember them wearing white from our matches in the 90s. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Luton_Town/Luton_Town.htm Anyway, fuck Mike Ashley.

My expert opinion is that this seems like a foolish conversation. It’s obvious to me, and anyone with even the most basic knowledge of quantum theory, that there are an infinite number of Kieran Trippier’s across the multiverse, and given the astronomical number of possible states in which Kieran Trippier can exist, it is inevitable that he’s about 5’9”.

At this point I'm not even convinced Kieran Trippier actually exists. I mean, if you think about the last 18 months, is anyone really sure that any of it actually happened?

Nee idea if this is true or not, but get ready for the new world of super fakes and AI generated bollocks, gents. It's going to be shit.

aye I feel like sela sport might want to change the footer of their website if we’re going to pretend this isn’t some creative accountancy activity

I feel like a six year deal that started with our 21-22 kit shouldn’t end at the end of the 25-26 season.

6 years apparently. Looking forward to the 27/28 season. Mike sold Castore on this contract knowing he was going to sell to the Saudi's and that it'd be worth far more than they were offering. There has to be a way out if we cared enough.

Faxed the original sponsorless mock-up to myself then wrote the logo on in biro and permanent marker then scanned it to my email then took a photo of my laptop screen. I think this is the one.

While I'm sure this is the case, plenty of companies adjust their logo depending upon the background / space available. And by the looks of it they've got multiple brands going on right now in "sela" and "SELA SPORT", and I'm assuming we don't know which one we're getting.

Also looking at it now the sponsor is def gonna be bigger than that.

Me too but for now a boy can dream. Alternates. Doubt either of these would be legible irl:

Speedy 'shop:

It's still Castore marra. We'll be out of the CL before they've got around to working out how to offer a 2nd font choice.
