Exiled in Texas

Funny comment “Not sure the mags should be commenting on stoning people” ??

Flew back to TX this morning and as I’m getting off the plane, the pilot nods at my Newcastle polo and asks if I was at the game. Says he was there too and was happy to see Miggy score. Lots of ATL fans around my seats, and they went crazy when Miggy scored. Seemed like 75% of stadium was celebrating with Miggy. ATL loves Miggy

Glad he is OK. Was watching him talk in the intro to the Milan-Madrid game when he hit the floor. co presenter calls for medic and a cut to commercial. About 30 mins into game a very confused world feed announcer (didn’t know what happened) had message for American audience that Shaka was ok

Yesterdays game was a double-header. Fulham played Brentford before the Newcastle/Villa game.

Tierny played the second half in the Old Rivals NY game vs Man Utd

This actually makes sense. Can see the two being linked. And that makes even more sense if there is a 3rd BIG deal being worked on that needs some FFP lubrication The £££ from Maxi pays for Barnes, and the FFP credit from Maxi sale goes to new signing

The lack of a training gear sponsor is a glaring omission, and is making me think we have one lined but are waiting to get our next target confirmed before we announce them. Keep the extra money a surprise until needed

Haha …love the footnote ?

Red Cafe “Who the hell are we going to sell McTominay to now?” ???

Will this be the final straw in the RTG love-in with Feyenoord. First they get told to p*** off with bringing Sunderland flags to the De Kuip, and then they take that Mag Bass Minty on loan. Fewmin!!

Aside from the "Never tell the sell how much money you have" thoughths, Im thinking the new "low" budget is whats left over after they have Dom Szlob.

Except if Liverpool are 6th - then definitely playoffs

Only the 5th place team wants this. They would not want this if they were 4th

He's just playing the game of showing the fans how devastated he is. I bet the fan base is more upset than the players are. With the fan base being over-entitled then he has to show pseudo-devastation. Seems a bit OTT for me

Wait till someone challenges the business case that Etihad airlines are getting an increase in flight sales that exceeds their sponsorship of City. or TeamViewer (whatever that is) are getting increased sales equal to their ManUtd sponsorship. If not then the market value is not a true value.

I would understand if it was exceeding the market, but other teams/companies have set the markets. Now they are arguing that “little old Newcastle” cannot possibly be worth paying what other big 6 teams are worth. Next they will require contracts to be based on the coefficient of success based on last 10 years (update as required to protect big 6)

So it’s at a value less than other contracts for similar placed clubs … but still inflated.

Liverpool only like the idea of playoffs as they are not “in” the spots. Would be funny as fuck to see them push for playoffs as outsiders and then see a 6th/7th place Chelsea or Spurs knock them out of the 5th CL spot

That’s the hard part …. Once the have identified that they have a 6month old inside, when they shouldn’t be, they are putting themselves into legal jeopardy if they let her stay and something happens. It looks bad. Not sure there is a good solution

Leicester T&C say not children under age 2 are admitted for football games. Bad on the turnstile people letting her in with the baby.

‘Kin Ell… just looked again at Atlanta and it’s almost all gone … even in the upper deck

ATL Lower bowl sold out really quickly (30 mins) - It was already mostly sold when it went to the Public presale, but remaining seats went quickly. it is a double header with Brighton-Brentford playing same day on the one ticket so it’s twice as many teams buying tickets for that day, and it’s Chelsea. But I was surprised how quickly the lower bowl sold out.

Two for Atlanta/Chelsea Lower bowl sold out really quickly

Ask them to take you to Rainey St. Highly recommend Bangers (Biergarten) and get the Man-Mosa.
