My concern is the incessant (100%) bias in our non-national, national media. This Isak fantasy is just one example amongst many thousands of others. I will never stop calling it out, whenever and WHEREever I can. It is important to always call it out, as (sadly) some people are accepting it as the norm, in fact some people are brainwashed enough to accept it as a form of "truth" . . . now that is worrying.

It is not a conspiracy, but think about how much repeated coverage this one fantasy gets, and will keep on getting! There is no reason for it other than the obsessed pro-London Media. There is no more truth in it other than all clubs fancy all good players. BUT that is not how it is incessantly portrayed by our non-existent National Media. Are you so used to this that you do not notice it any more??

We only know about Arsenal's infantile fantasies about Isak at all because they are based in the same grotty city as the (pretending to be) "national" media. File all this crap in the same bin as all the rest of the made up Cockney media fantasies.

I think we will stay in the Premier League.

Prior to its 1976 re-location into the Eldon Square Shopping Centre, Bainbridge Department Store was located in Market Street. Bainbridge ("Bainbridges" as most people called it) had actually been taken over by John Lewis in 1953, and had traded as "Bainbridge a branch of the John Lewis Partnership" from that date onward. Bainbridge Department Store of Newcastle was also the VERY FIRST actual Department Store in the world - https://www.skyscrapercity.com/posts/46413021/

Eldon Garden was a very different animal, a poor design and a deserved failure. The Eldon Square Shopping Centre will expand/contract/change/develop (etc) over future years as requirements change. A 'monstrosity' it is not, though it is quite fashionable to say that it is.

Opened 4th March 1976 and saved our City Centre.

The marvellous Eldon Square Shopping Centre has nothing to do with T Dan Smith. Neither has most of the other stuff you mention.

The "Newcastle Skyscraper City Forum" (despite the title) is not really about skyscrapers. It is about general urban life, developments and architecture. https://www.skyscrapercity.com/forums/newcastle-metro-area.2258/

In my role as manager of Skyscraper City I (and many others) encourage and admire beautiful architecture, old and new!

More generalisations that are not necessarily true. Also, we are actually talking about architectural appearance of ONE particular football stadium.

Lots do, I would have thought a lot more than don't !!

Rubbish. Also, if you knew me you would never say generalised inaccuracies like that !
