I got the same email response as the Boris one from Kelly Tolhurst, fwiw.

Man I hate subscriptions - just have ads like everyone else. Only interested in the odd article. Anyone with a subscription who could copy/paste that article, or isn't that allowed in here? I'll happily do it if it's within the rules. I've only just signed up as a new member so don't want to do it if it's not allowed. It's not allowed. Bullet points were posted a couple of pages back, that'll have to do. Reading the article will just get you even more wound-up before bed. Speaking from experience here.

What an absolute fucking shitshow.

What a dick.

So does that mean the Ruebens and Staveley also led everyone down the garden path? People can't handle the possibility of this being the case, but who knows.. Try to at least pretend you don't get off on this, Colin (Robinson).

It's so deflating, because you just know there's no one else coming in for us. There never was. It's such a missed opportunity, man. Yes, I'd rather we weren't funded by Saudi state wealth, but the loss of the potential investment in the club, in the city, that we'll never see now is a punch in the gut. We'll never truly know what went on (or didn't go on) throughout this process, but I'll happily lay the blame at the feet of Ashley, the parasitic cunt. Anyone who goes back when crowds are allowed seriously needs their head checking, if they didn't already.

He's here forever.

He deals with that extremely well, to be fair. I'd have probably been in a heap up against the gate.

Was that the one where Milner scored an absolute screamer? One of the worst games I've ever seen us play.

That's completely different to it being the right decision though.

Absolute bollocks.

I have it Get a photo of the top uploaded, man. I can't find an image anywhere online.

Joint highest earner? Fucking hell.

Absolute bollocks. Imagine paying to read that fantasy shite. It's only a couple of sentences in an article that is mainly focused on Lazaro, to be fair.

ASM is on the Puma Instagram stories wearing it. The material looks minging, like.

They did a few years back for some clubs. Man Utd being one of them http://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/2017/manchester_united_fc_adidas_originals_90s_away_jersey_track_jacket.jpg Sure i've seen an image of an Adidas Originals NUFC jacket like that - not the pattern, but tracksuit top type jacket. Think it might have been from the first wave of Adidas stuff around 1995-97 ish. EDIT: Was on Twitter... EDIT 2: T-Shirt for sale, here... https://footballholics.com/shop/newcastle-united-fc/111-2009-10-newcastle-united-adidas-originals-heritage-t-shirt.html They're from 09/10. I remember there also being an Originals black and white shirt that was leaked on Prodirectsoccer but never saw the light of day. It was class.

That's rough.

Yeah, I'm a fan. Hopefully Ashley fucks off and it drops in price.

They're insanely priced. Do we still have (one of) the most expensive shirt in the PL? I seem to remember that being a thing.

Aye: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/money/blog/2010/sep/21/football-kits-premier-league-cash-cow Gradually seems to have been ignored. Football clubs/sports brands being arseholes shocker.

Yep. Up until that point adidas had stuck to a new home shirt every 2 years. They didn't take up the option to extend the deal (because of Ashley, IIRC) which resulted in their final kit only being worn for a year.

It's better than the one on the previous page at least. It's just the 92/93 one with inferior branding.

I remember seeing that at the time but didn't get a chance to read it. Superb stuff all round: Caulkin's writing, Shearer's gesture(s), and Gordon's recovery.
