wormy

Love when it a journalist always knew something before it happened, but not quite enough to actually report it. Always so convenient. Aside from that, I unsurprisingly know nothing of this man. Fingers crossed he's ready and raring to go for the overhaul this club needs.

Definitely the sort to roofie the rest of the team for a prank if they came here. Rancid, the pair of them.

I either completely forgot or never even realised that Show Racism the Red Card's roots are in Newcastle, nor that Shaka was so integral. What a man.

Tbf not being a guaranteed starter at PSG is a bit different to not being a guaranteed starter at NUFC.

If I'd held off for any reason I'd be understandably pissed but I suppose it makes sense. First match of the season going up for sale tomorrow so they're seeing it as a trade off for cutting off impulsive resellers and away fans who can spare the extra £30.

You only unlock those skills after managing 1000 matches.

When did Dinho go off the deep end? I could've sworn he was a sound poster once upon a time?

I'd rather keep him for decent competition for Pope but I wouldn't begrudge him a move if he wants more guarantees to start. He's been a good signing, good servant in his time and I'd wish him all the best. That being said, if we do have to sell him, I hope Darlow is still out the door and we go out and buy a new backup. I'd rather try our chances on a new player than a known risk like Darlow.

Feels good to actually have some hope that we'll develop some youngsters. Fingers crossed that hope's not misplaced.

That's interesting considering I was clearly under the impression it was practically the opposite. In that case I hope they can come to some sort of understanding to allow his involvement in a way everyone's happy with.

Ugh.

Yeah seems he's more than happy watching from afar and fair enough. I think the club have been in touch with him too from previous articles I've passed. Unless he indicates otherwise I think all they need to do (and I'm sure already have) is make sure he knows he's got a seat for life and is welcome any time, until the suitable time to properly honour him in some way with a statue or whatever they agree.

Haven't we done the barely-played club captain before ourselves in relatively more recent times? Something nagging at me that Butt was club captain in one of his last years where he hardly figured.

Adam Pearson doing interviews for the website now?

A battle for the rights is what held up the official announcement. You heard it here first.

I know playing clubs off each other is par for the course but across six months is taking the piss. Especially when they're not playing us off anyone that's actually interested. You're welcome to fuck off in to mid-table Ligue 1 obscurity for the rest of your days if that's how you want your agent acting.

Junior membership appears to get an 'exclusive membership pack' too according to the more info. Not a clue if it differs at all from the adult one. Of course, subject to you getting in before they ran out of packs and went 'digital only', plus whether that applies to the kids ones too.

Wish I'd waited.

I'd guess at 15-20k sold. You've definitely got a ton of people that have hopped on more than once adding to the redundant queue number but I'd be surprised if that accounted for the majority of the queue. Add the fact that one person could have been purchasing multiple for linked family and friends and the junior memberships too, couldn't they?

Woo I'm officially a member. I feel so special. One of only ten thousand.

Tbf they've not given any indication of there being a limited amount so I honestly don't know how worthwhile all of us queuing right off the bat is anyway. It'd be a proper cunt's trick if it suddenly becomes 'sold out' mid-queue. I'm sure if you miss your slot you can jump back on later and purchase without a queue.

9000th in the queue just for a membership.

Damnit. We should've been all over that.

I imagine Noon will be just the start of them starting to get a multitude of partners. I hope they brazenly mock it. Maybe get Newcastle Brown Ale back on board with a small token 'NUFC's official Brown Ale partner' sponsorship.

It's the only reasonable option.
