  1. I'm taking long breathers from checking, but I'll have a pop round for the HTT 3pm club announcement tomorrow of course.
  2. Once this happens, I'm guessing everyone's ordering pizza immediately yeah?
  3. That Greg Lake lad seems a little bit.....simple? Loves the daily mail and piers morgan too. He's just another attention seeker, yeah?
  4. We at least need bigger bins, possibly the 1100L ones for the ice baths so we could squeeze 3 in at a time?
  5. The one in Heaton? My mate swears by it, but I haven't tried it yet as I always go to Uno's for banging takeaway pizza. Uno's takes some beating in this area for pizzas Same company as the Uno's in Sunderland??
  6. 95-97 also a lot of love for the previous one 93-95 nowt to do with any on-pitch goings on, they were just well designed and looked the business I'd love a new epic strip that would symbolise a new era, I'd actually buy a shirt for the 1st time since.....2011 (aug-dec, had a soft spot for this'un)

  11. YourTypicalSaudi on reddit Hello lads, Saudi guy here to mention some points. I’ve seen some people wondering how Yassir can manage the club while he’s also managing Aramco and PIF. In reality, Aramco is chaired by Amin Nasser (CEO) and Yassir’s position is just to get the PIF closer to Aramco. So he mostly works on the PIF and nothing else. Personally I think him sitting at the top of Newcastle shouldn’t be that much of an issue if he has good & qualified people to take care of the various aspects of the club. Also the other partners will have their presence too so I don’t think this is something to worry about. Turki Al Alshaikh has nothing to do with NUFC. Honestly he doesn’t have any qualities that will benefit you and he absolutely has no authority over PIF. Don’t let his Twitter description of “Royal Court Advisor” fool you. Until two years ago he wasn’t known in the kingdom until he became the president of our FA. Which he fucked up royally for one year until before he left his position. I personally don’t like him because he brought so much instability to my club (Al-Hilal) and was a major reason why we lost Jorge Jesus. Money wise he isn’t that rich. Football wise he’s just a big fan who wants some recognition and fame, you can see that in his Twitter profile if you spoke Arabic. He bought a club in Spain’s second division (Almeria). I think it’s pretty safe to take him off your radar. Regarding your sponsor, if it happens to be from here my guess it’s Aramco, our biggest telecom company (STC) or maybe our airlines (Saudi Airlines). We have a really big company (SABIC) but I never saw them doing any advertisement or sponsorships. There’s also some new projects in Saudi Arabia that established their own companies that may end up sponsoring NUFC if they wish too. NEOM, AMAALA and Qiddiya for example. I believe all these companies have modern and good logos so hopefully if you get a sponsor from here it won’t ruin the jerseys. I guess that’s it for now, feel free to ask me about anything regarding Saudi Arabia or this deal and I promise you to be honest and impartial. A bit off topic, but I’ve been seeing the reactions of NUFC fans on the internet (mainly Twitter) and you lot are fucking hilarious. I’ve had so many good chuckles the past few days and checking #NUFC has become a part of my daily routines these days. I don’t know why but seeing English lads with the Saudi flag, photoshopping ‘Shimagh’ -our head scarf-, having Arabic names or Saudi flair on r/soccer is really funny for me. I never knew the English were this funny and I feel like I need to watch more English shows beside The Inbetweeners and The IT Crowd (fucking love it). I also learned a lot about Newcastle so that’s a bonus for me. Anyways, sorry for taking long, good luck with this endeavour. Newcastle is a beautiful club and I wish you the best. My first Newcastle exposure is this old video game My club just played the Club World Cup as Asia’s Champions League winners and let me tell you it feels amazing. Hopefully one day our clubs can meet there from:
  12. I remember way back dreaming of exciting transfers (not just realistic ones) happening and the effects it'd have on tactics, formations and how they'd gel with other players. Typing out my thoughts on the best 11 without sarcasm and stifling my own laughter seems like an eternity ago. The depressing graveyard our transfer threads have generally been for so many years. I just love the fantasy element of potential new recruits taking us further and really having a go. I'm going to love the positivity this potential takeover would bring to the entire city, not just the club. Obviously upgrading the paddling pool in the academy, tidying up the stadium, making the club more commercially successful, etc would just give the club so many new and attainable goals to strive for. Removing the hopeless hangers-on and taking every facet to the next level. I think getting a new manager in immediately would be the best option. You'd hopefully get the ol' new manager bounce (mackem favourite) and the players playing out of their skin in the hopes of being part of the next big project. I'd just be in dreamland if Rafa is that man, he'd just be perfect for this scenario.
  13. Actually, what is the slob on the left eating?
