Quite possibly, you know. Realising just now that it was the bacon fantasiser that led them to the win has ruined the whole festive period for me

I thought this the other day. We are normally bollocks at Christmas. Sure we’ve lost more on Boxing Day than anyone else, gives me PTSD thinking back to going to Wigan away to see us lose 1-0 what felt like every Boxing Day when I was like 17/18ish.

Not sure who I’d want to come in. Pickford is class keeper but he wouldn’t come and is getting older. That Georgian looked class but not seen enough of him

Hasn’t made a decent save since he was called upon. Still shakey at times too when the ball comes into the area. Made a big difference with his distribution though, and deserves credit for it. Goalkeeper high on the list in the summer for me. Pope CL season level but with working legs.

Hall and Gordon London FC’s left wing for the next 2 world cups.

We’ll have our day with them in the smoke, I’m sure of it. Will be mighty sweet.

4 league goals to equal Wilson’s tally and become our second highest PL era scorer. 105 behind Shearer. If he stayed another 5 seasons he’d beat that.

Been to Old Trafford countless times. Every time you go it’s full of tourists, day trippers from all over the country and they sing their cute little songs about Shearer. Fuck the lot of them. Anyone brought up whilst Ferguson was there and they were dominant will rightly be loving their downfall. We are going to hump the cunts up here as well. Hope we get to play them in a final again.

An absolute game changer of a signing. Showed faith in the project and has pound for pound been an incredible signing. Even when he was injured in that first half season he was key to the squad. Still believe that we should have cashed in last January, particularly when he was going through shit in his personal life, but that’s in the past now.

First away of the season. Got a decent record recently so hopefully more of the same. Point would be a great result but feel that if we were to get an early goal we could run away with it. Had a bad feeling they’d sack big Flange today. Could be his final nail on Saturday.

Impressive that. Howe has turned us round, admittedly I never seen it happening and said as much after the Brentford game. Don’t want to come across as fickle and conscious I posted strongly after that defeat, but since then it has been flawless. He found a way to freshen things up and deserves immense credit. We are in the driving seat for the CL, everything has clicked again. With no Europe to drain fitness and big Sven coming back in (not that we’ve missed him with Burn’s form recently), you have to fancy us. Just hope we can make a signing or two that can come in and improve us/give us another decent option in Jan. Class to have that buzz back after feeling things had gone beyond stale.

Been class. Blip last season aside (where he was out of position, and should never be played LB again) it’s fair to say he’s been a top signing for us.

Don’t worry, Sir Jim will be along soon to increase prices for the disabled and spit on the catering staff.

Did you see MOTD? They highlighted that his left ankle twists, which kind of leaves him with no choice but to land his right foot where he did. I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure it was a red card anyways, but that’s made my mind up. As I said earlier though, fuck them

I think MOTD are spot on about the red card. Makes it sweeter, fuck them.

I see they’re doing that weird thing they done last year now that “Jewd” is in town to watch his brother. They’re so fucking weird. And I appreciate some of our lot are, but these lot are something else.

Agree. Say what you want about acoustics, and they probably aren’t ideal, but half the battle is ensuring the ground is laid out right for atmosphere. Mind, it shouldn’t have to, don’t know what enjoyment people get out of sitting silent as mice. Shame to hear it was shit again today.

Sadly couldn’t make it today as was at work, managed to watch most of the game. Love how on Amazon you can watch the full match back, shame it isn’t until post midnight but still. From what I seen we were class. Someone made this point last week and I agree, that when we go a goal ahead at home, Howe really goes for the jugular and wants us to hammer the opposite. When we won at home under Benitez I’d have no nails left and butterflies for 40 minutes. Not knocking Rafa as circumstances were different, but we have dished out a lot of hammerings under Howe and it’s class.

He’s fucking class. Haven’t got much more to say than that.

Aye, I am seeing a lot of people being smug about “where r da Howe h8az” when in reality, he has done what those who aired concerns wanted him to do and change things. Taking nothing away from him with that btw. He has made a change and we look class for it, we will obviously lose games and have bad days but to see progression in how we play and a clear game plan makes me very happy. If we can sign a top right winger in January it could have the impact that the Cisse signing had and see us stroll through to the end of the season.

Not sure the link will work, but they aren’t concession tickets. Usually you get the odd one or two dotted about but there’s hundreds of all ticket types available. https://book.newcastleunited.com/en-GB/events/newcastle united v bromley fc/2025-1-12_15.00/st james park?hallmap Hopefully means some on here can get a ticket. Want to add that to only have that many available isn’t a bad thing or embarrassing or anything, in the past we’d probably scrape 40k against someone like Bromley. Even 40k is a good gate, particularly at 30 bar a ticket.

There’s about 600 tickets available in level 7 for the Bromley game. Do appreciate that it’s just after Christmas and quite pricey for a cup game against unglamorous opposite, mind

You make a some good points, particular around ticket prices. You know my views, I want to somehow stay at SJP, build a big fuck off stand behind the goal. I have accepted it’ll be a case of moving and just hope we get it right. I read bits from Spurs fans on social media (I kna, I kna) and it’s scary. Some of them feel detached from the club. Away fans all over the ground.

Wonder what the correlation is between people who are happy to have 5/10k empty seats and those who mock the mackems.

Pizza Rob has had a few things right in the past, but not for ages. 75k would be too big imo, 65k the sweet spot. The club are the ones with the data though. Said before I don’t want a new stadium but I’ve accepted it. Just hope it’s different and has bags of character.
