  1. "Even if you haven't heard of some of these names for Newcastle, you know they've trolled far and wide to get these names in" Brilliantly put!
  2. How does he get Bigirimana's name exactly right but manage to get everyone else's wrong?
  3. Everyone seems to think Colback is "neat", which I think is code for "not doing shit".
  4. Is this on actual radio or is this some fellas just doing this on the side?
  5. My favorite night ever on here. was it Columbus or KC? Columbus, what a legend.
  6. Who was the guy from Columbus? I miss that guy.

    Remy Cabella

    From this whoscored article on Cabella: http://www.whoscored.com/Articles/vb3uoarnnuaptpzkemscrw/Show/Player-Focus-Exit-of-One-Remy-Paves-Way-for-Another-at-Newcastle http://164.177.157.12/img/blog/2014/7/Cabella-Top-Image.jpg http://164.177.157.12/img/blog/2014/7/CAbella.jpg
  8. Pasted together the Squawka passing stats for Janmaat last season compared with a few of the other notable RBs - some in the PL, Aurier who everyone loves, and the La Liga boys. Obviously so much of this stuff depends on other players, tactics, etc but it's worth a look. http://i.snag.gy/P8VVc.jpg
  9. Just watched - Janmaat scores brilliant half volley!

    Remy Cabella

    Had the most shots of any Ligue 1 midfielder by a mile while also having the 3rd best shot accuracy (53% on target); only Ibrahimovic and Gignac took more shots, period. Second-most key passes last season behind Valbuena 12 of 14 goals inside the area Was the most-fouled player in all of Ligue 1 last season -- 105 times fouled (only he and Valbuena had over 100)
  11. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-transfer-rumour-rater-7383591?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter The Chronicle's Newcastle Transfer Rumour Rater is pitiful and embarrassing.
  12. People who get excited about a transfer fee in either direction astound me. It's not as if you get a refund on your season ticket if the fee for an outgoing player is huge. And it's certainly not as if that money gets reinvested at a 100% rate (we're lucky if it's a 5% rate). So who gives a shit if you get 8m or 80m? We're losing another quality player and replacing him with no one -- and that holds true until we see Aurier or Janmaat or fucking Jenkinson holding up a shirt.
  13. Considering it only took a solid 3 years of monitoring to get Siem in, we'll have a cracking replacement in time for the 2017-18 campaign. Not sure what league we'll be in, of course.
  14. Almost everyone is a mercenary at whatever job they happen to have. Company A is limited in scope and offers little room for advancement. Company B -- a better run and more ambitious outfit -- wants to hire you for more money. In any walk of life that's pretty much a simple decision. It's up to our club to display the sort of ambition that would allow for those types of employees to feel fulfilled. We won't, so they'll forever be moving onwards. And the Big Boy will happily line his pockets (even in a limited fashion) and then use the excuse that we simply can't compete. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam.
  15. There are but I think that sums up the attitude of "just be decent and if you're better than that then OK" pretty well. For a player talking of Champions League a quote like that would be jarring. Your point is fair and if I had more time to do it I'd find better examples.
  16. http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Fans/FansForum/0,,10278~3831748,00.html No one send the link to the minutes from the Fans' Forum to Siem, OK, he seems happy believing we want to win things. Hate to ruin his day.

  18. Level 1 - Scouting Level 2 - Monitoring Level 3 - Enquiring IF PLAYER IS APPROACHING LAST YEAR OF CONTRACT (OR HAS A RELEASE CLAUSE): Level 4 - Unsettling Level 5 - Annoying Level 6 - Offering Level 7 (theoretical) - Signing IF PLAYER IS NOT IN FINAL YEAR OF CONTRACT OR WITH RELEASE CLAUSE: Level 4 - Re-monitoring Level 5 - Re-enquiring Level 6 - Waiting Level 7 - Failing
  19. "We was going to always struggle to compete wif teams before the World Cup but after the tournament we will struggle to meet the inflated valuations. We're trying to stay within the confines of our communication without losing the loop on some key targets but getting them over the line in this moveable feast will take some doing. We just have to thank Mike Ashley for paying for my mobile bill so I can ring up Lee and Graham to find out who we can't afford to sign."
  20. Every transfer article just reads so ridiculously. Mentions of a "transfer kitty" are equally laughable. I feel bad for the journalists who have to fill up space with the nonsense but every one of these pieces should be thrown in a pile and burned. Nothing to write about until someone's at SJP holding up the shirt. Anything else is pointless.
