Send a tweet saying the VAR man is a Man Utd fan, quickly! 

As if there was a way to dislike Man Utd more…Que Sir Jimmy the 2nd. 

Don’t know how accurate this could be…option C for me! 
 

I’d have MGW in a heartbeat, high energy, consistent and able to finish. Could easily slot into our midfield in my view for either Willock or Longstaff. 

Is it next year that people on the fixed deals expire?  I’d imagine that it’ll be a fairly significant jump for some people and I’m not sure if the club still does the £100 kids tickets?

Diallo the lad being released? Seems pointless him being on the bench.

Yeah I don’t understand that either. 
 

Same with two keepers, put someone like Harrison on the bench then at least you have an option.

I’d love to know the average age of ST holders in each stand. I think since the stadium discussion started I’ve noticed more and more how tame the majority of the ground is. 
 

Beyond the back 3 or 4 rows of Gallowgate and the singing corner, it’s very poor. You look down from the back of Gallowgate when there’s singing going, but there’s next to nothing happening the further you go down. It was mental watching the West Ham highlights and seeing how many empty seats there were in the East Stand in injury time. What a game and time to have left ffs.

 

Going back to age, if the club could sell a new stadium by talking about the average age of the ST holder, and getting some younger fans in, whilst also organising a new ground so that you can get likeminded fans sitting together, then I’d like to think most would go for it.

I never really get the younger fans discussions tbh, how young are these younger fans?  
I’m 40 and tbh, find the younger fans (late teens to early 20’s) to be absolute bellends for the most part both home and away. 
I’ll split them into two easy groups….the wankers who have spaffed all over green street one two many times and the anti socialists who couldn’t talk there way through a dinner never mind a sing a song. 
 

I always find it a bit of a shame for the older fans tbh, aye they may not all sing and may not always contribute to an atmosphere but for the most part they’ve been through thick and thin and deserve more credit than they get for the most part. 

I honestly think that people’s ideas about what an atmosphere should be is incredibly inflated, maybe by a mixture of one off games and 30 second YouTube clips, I don’t know. Also, it’s not the 80’s anymore, we not in South America and my experience of Europe is that it’s mostly manufactured. 
 

Turned out to be a bit of a rant there.

Its not just the East Stand holding up re-development, its the interior and structure of the whole place.

 

The toilets, the concessions, the dingy concourses, the corporate amenities. Non are up to par.

 

IMO the only way is to rebuild on a new footprint in Castle Leazes.

Even the access, there’s a queue for the Gallowgate now that can take 20 mins to get in….how will an expansion improve that…unless they demolish the whole stand and start again but even then, access to the turnstiles at diabolical at times. 

I’m leaning more and more towards a new stadium like, having tried to get around SJP on crutches yesterday it amplified how shite the facilities are, everything from getting into the toilets, finding and using a lift to the general concourse….its canny shite tbh.

Does he speak English? 

Does he bet on football should be the question. 

I still maintain that I wouldn’t release him for any fee and certainly not to Man Utd. 
If he is that good, if he is to be so critical to Mr Radcliffes terminal lucidity then we should just refuse to release him. 
 

After all, we wouldn’t sell Bruno or Isak to them, so why let the best in class, hub of the wheel go?  
 

To be fair though, the conduct of Man Utd leading up to and during the pantomime would be enough to make me dig my heels in. 

Yay, another former Milan Captain making his way over….cant wait to see what we uncover this time 😂

A few clubs now seemed against it but all but one voted in the new rules. Doesn’t make much sense.

Is it not the case that all but one voted to change the rules.

Its hard to sympathize with Forest after them buying in two dozen players. This rule putting an effective sell-by deadline on players though will simply force down prices and make this thing an even bigger racket than it is already. Spurs getting Johnson for say 30m not the 47m they paid just because Forest have to jump through an arbitrary hoop by a time set midway through a transfer window, not the end of the window, would not make football fairer.

Isn’t this exactly what we done to Everton with Gordon?

It's pretty standard stuff in the Premier League unfortunately.

Tripps has painkilling injections before every game.

I've heard a very rough home demo version of a song Sam's written about the ritual of working class blokes going to the match, it covers the themes you mention

 

Not sure what he plans to do with it though, don't think it's been recorded with the songs that'll be on album 3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Que ChatGPT 

(Verse 1)
From the banks of the Tyne, we rise,
In black and white, our spirit flies.
In a city built on sweat and toil,
We stand together, in blood and soil.

(Chorus)
Newcastle, Newcastle, our hearts beat true,
For Newcastle United, we'll always come through.
In the streets we roam, in the stands we sing,
For our working class city, let the memories ring.

(Verse 2)
Through thick and thin, we've seen it all,
From St. James' Park to the local hall.
With grit and passion, we fight the fight,
In the shadows of our city's light.

(Chorus)
Newcastle, Newcastle, our hearts beat true,
For Newcastle United, we'll always come through.
In the streets we roam, in the stands we sing,
For our working class city, let the memories ring.

(Bridge)
From shipyards to stadiums, we stand tall,
In the face of challenge, we give our all.
For the Magpies soar, as we stand side by side,
In Newcastle's glory, we take pride.

(Chorus)
Newcastle, Newcastle, our hearts beat true,
For Newcastle United, we'll always come through.
In the streets we roam, in the stands we sing,
For our working class city, let the memories ring.

(Outro)
So raise your voices, let them hear,
In Newcastle's name, we hold dear.
For in this city, football's more than a game,
It's the heartbeat of a people, forever aflame.

What the fuck is wrong with Gordon? Zero effort.

Yeah - if we move it has to be in the City Centre

I agree, whilst a new stadium would bring so many benefits the prospect of moving out of the city horrifies me, I can only imagine the economic damage that it has the potential to inflict on the city centre. 

Doesn’t seem like the type to act like a tit over an injury.

Mick Beale defending Mick Beale and retweeting posts slagging off the fans via a now deleted twitter account

 

 

Is there a way of reading this with an X account? 

Ah god, I’d love a spawny 1-0 win for us with a dubious penalty to seal the deal…only so I can watch the endless streams of Arteta falling apart next week on SSN.

Fucking hell 

Time waits for no man 😂

He’s 72, he ain’t got long left anyways. Going on about 3 years…that’s likely to be 30% of his remaining life

I’m just thinking about the comparison he makes with Barera, I don’t remember seeing anything about that until it was announced (I could be wrong like) but for months theres been links about Ashworth which will no doubt have been leaked from their camp. 
At best it’s disrespectful.
