wormy

Urgh I hate giving this utter kebab fart sniffer a quote but has anyone queried why he still feels the need to defend him? Going by his logic, he's a sports journalist for the North, isn't he? And Steve Bruce has nothing to do with a Northern club anymore. I'd add the cliché 'he ain't gonna fuck you' but there has to be something going on between the two.

Awesome work, IC. Can't wait to see it in all it's glory.

Isn't this the whole reason they're facing this level of criticism, though? The whole reason @Geordie2302 is digging so deep is it seems they've barely co-operated with a single query and it looks like @Heron felt he had no choice but to pack in his role because his attempts to bring a different view to the board was so readily dismissed.

You fucking can say that. Being shameless enough to take those jobs doesn't negate the fact he turns into a blubbering little bitch over all the mean fans that somehow manage to follow him at every single club he 'manages'.

You'd think they'd have learnt their lesson in taking on a hated former NUFC manager.

Is it just something we have to do when we have a CB with a bit of technical ability? I know people argued it for Colo for way too long. Anyone else? Did people do it for Woodgate?

I bear no ill will towards the guy, maybe because I was tuned out of football for pretty much his entire tenure with the club. But as mentioned by others at least he wants to get games and fingers crossed that's a precursor of him agreeing to a move down the pyramid in the summer when we inevitably want shot of him permanently.

That 'top' reply. Imagine reading him eviscerate someone whingeing on like a child and thinking 'yeah I'll tell him not to cry that's the one!'.

Fucking Rob Brydon. Been driving me mad who he reminds me of all day but that grin settles it.

7/10 for me. The extra couple of signings we were aiming for today after Burn and Targett would've cleared an 8 or 9 but you can't fault the club's effort.. And I wonder how long it'll take until I get used to that.

I can't even imagine the names they're going to be fighting to sign this summer if we stay up and aren't trying to entice players in to the middle of a relegation battle.

Ugh he's going to West Ham, isn't he?

Hope it goes well for him. Can't lie I'd be shitting myself if he was playing for us. The photoshop at the end of that announcement video is fucking shocking, though.

https://www.newcastleworld.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/the-staggering-amount-newcastle-united-can-spend-in-january-without-breaching-financial-fair-play-3515664 Kieran Maguire thinks we could manage £800m over four years as long as we improve our commercial side in the process which I imagine the club will want to do quickly. So seems we'll be fine for a little while yet.

I'm excited as shit but I won't shift my 5/10 stance until I start seeing results on the pitch. Happy to stay that way until we start (hopefully) pulling away or (God forbid) falling behind.

Jesus Christ. Just taking a random £30m punt on the potential of a 19 year old. It still doesn't feel real.

Am I imagining it or didn't they try to get in touch with KK when they took over? Felt like I read something around the time Staveley was speaking with Shearer. I think/hope he'll be back in some sort of ambassador/honorary role once he trusts the new owners from afar. I don't blame him for being weary of getting in bed with any new owners before they've had time to truly show their hand as to how they intend to run the club.

Now dreaming this bit of Bruno business opens a few last minute doors to some previously out-of-reach players who now know we're well and truly serious about pushing on.

BRB ripping my cock off.

Imagine being a professional journalist and Luke Edwards out-ITKing you. Just hang it up, Craig.

Wonder if they're hoping to get at least a couple more in that they can do a big announcement for tomorrow.

Since signing those 22 players they appear to have been been relegated twice and are languishing in the relegation zone of the fourth tier. That went well.

Clark-SMB level of stupid. How hard is it to say nar that's needless grief and move on to the next fit woman who'll undoubtedly hang off your arm because you're a freaking Premier League footballer? Don't imagine it was said with any genuine malice and my guess is the 'investigation' will probably conclude he's just not the sharpest tool in the box.

He's still probably waiting outside the training ground just in case.

I'd already read the same warnings but went with it in the hope it could help be a motivator. Not gone so well so far.
