  1. Cheers, I'll keep that in mind for next time as I usually buy a shirt every time I travel over. Already bought two from Toffs linked above for now
  2. If Charles keels over soon too maybe there will be enough money back to the people to get them through the winter months. More royal funerals!
  3. Howe doesn't give away tactics. He doesn't even give out injury status to journalists. Ofc he will tell them yes on the question if he want to play Wilson and Isak together. Time will tell if he actually does.
  4. Do you think people who aren't Christians should work on public holidays?
  5. Pretty sure that was during the first year after he joined us. Everything he touched turned into a goal
  6. I always got the impression he was put at left back at Inter Milan as the manager couldn't give him any game time anywhere else, and then he just became a left back. A bit similar to Hughes being a right back here because he couldn't get playing time at CB. Always wanted to see Santon getting an extended run at right back too.

    Can understand why a coach wouldn't want his player on youtube spreading gossip/stories about the ongoings inside the club. Doubt the actual youtube-work interferes any with 3-4 hours of training ~5 days a week though
  8. I placed an order from these yesterday. Got an e-mail today from their customer service to check if I had ordered the right number on one of the shirts since I had ordered the number 0 on one of them. Confirmed it was correct, and got a thank you back. Just though I'd throw that out there as I've never experienced such a nice and proactive customer service before when ordering something online.

    Is he planning to join Tim Wiese into professional wrestling or something? That physique can't be optimal for a keeper surely?
  10. Frank Lampard vs Christian Vieri. One had 193, the other 194. I picked wrong. Fuck this game
  11. Prior to last season he played more than 25 league games for 4 consecutive seasons That being said, I don't necessarily disagree with the point Haydn is making. We need to phase him out. Don't think we should extend his contract unless he is fine with a bit part role and reduced wages.
  12. I think Potters style of play is more suited for top teams, whereas Moyes & Hodgson were expected to change their style that made them successful with smaller clubs. It's more similar to Rodgers moving from Swansea to Liverpool. Hopefully for Potter, he has a higher ceiling than Rodgers.
  13. That was a step closer, but all the retro shirts seems to have name and number already. Any experience of this? Apparently hand crafted in Gateshead. https://www.toffs.com/shop-by-team/football/premier-league/newcastle
  14. Not important to be fully authentic. It's just meant as a little bit of fun to give my father a shirt with number 0 and a Brazilianised version of his name. I had a look at DH Gate yesterday and couldn't really figure it out? Everytime I click on a shirt item I just get a message saying that the page does not exist. I try to click on this f.ex ' end up here:
  15. Are there any online stores that sell retro football (Newcastle) shirts and do custom number and name print on the back?
  16. No brainer for Potter unless he has a special sentimental connection with Brighton, their players, staff and fans. I assume his personal goal is to win trophies, and that will be very difficult to achieve at Brighton when they lose their best player to the top teams every season. Chelsea has quite similar players to Brighton, only with more quality so if the players buy into the way he want them to play I think he'll do exceptionally well there.
  17. Not saying he is better, but he can become better, and I don't want Maddison to hamper his progress. I don't see the reason why we should loan him out to a championship side when he's dealt very well with the PL in the appearances he's had so far. Would much rather we focused on improving RW position in January unless Almiron were to find another level we weren't aware he had between now and the next window.
  18. Still super meh for me. Sorry Fully appreciate many will disagree with me on that. Similarly to the Pope transfer I'll happily hold my hands up and say I was wrong if he comes and improves us. For now though I think we have lots of proven quality. We need to make room for potential as well. Maddison is quite limited when he isn't responsible for set-pieces (and we have a few very competent set-piece takers already) and seems (maybe influenced somewhat based on his last game admittedly) lazy off the ball. He isn't as good at dribbling nor as fast as Anderson. You don't have to watch many games to see stuff like that. The question about Anderson for me is if he can consistently put in performances like he's done so far on a consistent basis and for 90 minutes - but he needs to get the chance to prove it.
  19. Besides the fact he just signed a new contract, and we are in a position to tell them to fuck off, I'd be extremely surprised if it was something Howe would even be slightly interested in. He seems fully committed and motivated to our project.
  20. He needs playing time to develop, and he won't get that if Maddison comes in. I think Anderson is more suited to our play style as well. Maddison doesn't really strike me as the type of player to put in the work off the ball required in this team. We don't need him for set-pieces either.
  21. I'd be super nervous right now if I was a Brighton supporter. Not really surprised that Chelsea are the ones to kick-off the managerial merry go round this season.
  22. Super meh about Maddison. Use Anderson instead, and go for a top quality RW.
  23. He'd improve 100% if he stopped shopping for inspirational qoutes from bed, bath & beyond.
