The Ewing theory in action.

Anderon by the looks. Must be bringing on Wilson at half time.

The commentator on the stream I'm watching seems utterly incapable of telling our players apart and it's driving me mad. It's not even similar looking players. He though Lascelles was Isak and I think he thought Almiron was Tonali.

Kuol just got an assist for Volendam. Looks like they might be on for their first win of the season.

6 of the 14 players that got on the pitch were at the club before the takeover. Incredible really.

I tell you what, I hope the Expendables 4 was fucking good.

Andy Griffin vibes.

It was almost like Haaland wasn't on the pitch.

According to Transfermarkt, they actually have had an incredibly similar recovery time. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tino-livramento/verletzungen/spieler/503981 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emil-krafth/verletzungen/spieler/184528 Edit: although they appear to have Krafth as having recovered on August 1st.

Angry looks?

Makes me think about the person on here who wrote something like No Name Required and that printed on the shirt.

He scored soooo many goals

Bigger disgrace Almiron was overlooked quite frankly.

Bruno probably learnt Italian in about two weeks to help Tonali settle in.

Yes, literally the only one in the entire world.

Utter rubbish.

I'd find it even funnier if he got loaned back to us.

Just wait until hs unveiling when he pulls off the Harvey Barnes mask to reveal he's really Chiesa declaring "It was me Eddie! It was me all along!".

I don't necessarily disagree, though I do probably feel Barnes is an improvement (at the very least because he'll be fit regularly), but the whole expected assists per 90 last season stats are bollocks because they are for a pretty small sample size of actual minutes.

It's very easy for "per 90" type stats to become inflated when over a short period of time though. For example, Adam Le Fondre has one of the best goal per minute ratios in Premier League history.

Leicester are in the championship.

Is it Sean or Matty he's left with a smile on their face?

I remember the club doing an unsung player of the season video that year and the vast majority of players named Krafth. He was definitely very good.

If you put a fullstop after the UK (like below) it gets past the paywall. https://www.telegraph.co.uk./football/2023/06/28/newcastle-transfer-rumours-sandro-tonali-nicolo-barella/

GPT 4.0's chant: (Verse 1) From Milan he did roam, to make St. James' his new home, Sandro Tonali, he wears the black and white with pride, With a Magpie on his chest, he's simply the best, Down the Tyne, watch him glide. (Chorus) Sandro, Sandro Tonali, In midfield, he's our main man, you see, Passing the ball, strong and tall, He's our Italian Geordie. (Verse 2) He's got a vision, a precision, see him split the defence, With a flick, with a trick, oh the suspense, In the heart of our team, he's living the dream, Sandro Tonali, his game is immense. (Chorus) Sandro, Sandro Tonali, In black and white, he's poetry, With each stride, Newcastle's pride, He's our Italian Geordie. (Bridge) From the boot of Italy, to the banks of the Tyne, In the Toon, under the moon, he'll shine, Through the cold and rain, he'll play the game, Sandro Tonali, he's our midfield line. (Chorus) Sandro, Sandro Tonali, Hear the Toon, how loud we can be, Cheering his name, in every game, He's our Italian Geordie. (Ending) Oh Sandro, Sandro, with you we stand so tall, With every pass, with every class, you enthral, Tonali, in black and white, you've answered the call, In our hearts, in our chants, you have it all!
