Good grief, how wrong does that sound, using the 'present tense' in that way.

That is my reply to Scoot, who was talking about Stanley, which is the UK town located at the highest point above sea level of any sizeable UK settlement. Consequently it gets a very different climate, particularly in winter, to other 'towns' in the UK.

Yes, a 'unique' high place, I think it is the highest town in the UK. A VERY different climate!!

Snow? What is that? Snow is so very rare in Newcastle these days, been the same for many years.

This statement does not seem to 'fit' with my understanding of our new owners - at all !

If your criteria is "within the city boundaries" then that is a very large area that gives them a lot of scope. Somewhere near Newcastle Racecourse at Gosforth Park (for example) would be a relatively easy one to sort out, I would imagine. Myself, I still prefer the City Centre.

The so-called "Big Six" is a Sky-TV invention - that has now gained hold generally. Sky care mainly about their viewing figures, and so - of course - they had to include a number of London-based clubs within their invented list, even if (like Spurs particularly) they do not win trophies. It is a meaningless grouping, and the sooner its use is consigned to history, the better.

It's interesting to speculate about the stadium, but however they alter and extend it, the one thing I think they will definitely do is to put a retractable roof on it. It would be a big job, but I am certain that idea will appeal to them. It opens up quite a few other year-round uses for the stadium as well. This is just my personal thoughts on this!

. . and the day after . . and the day after !!! Perpetual 'happy times' ahead for us, it'll take a while to get there, but after that !

Seriously. As a compassionate human being, is there anyone on here with medical experience? Can you please recommend somewhere that these 'RTG' people could be referred to - for their own good - before it is too late? Perhaps the Samaritans, as I can see a flood of potential suicides on there, I really can. Seriously. (No, not really !!!) https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/

This is really a very enjoyable read, from start to finish . . . https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/could-we-lose-a-generation-of-supporters-to-the-mags.1572008/

Those are two very different things, I cannot think of a more different situation than those two!! No comparison at all.

Correct.

Yes, I agree - that was F U N !!!!

par D O N ????

I have never been 'optimistic' in my life, I'm just not built that way. I remain realistic, as always. But yes, we do have to W A I T for a couple more days!!!

Fantastic idea to go over to Saudi for the last week of the transfer window. Amanda can now speak with the people who matter at P I F, face to face, makes things so much easier and so much quicker. Expect "dynamite" as we get towards the last few days of the window . . . absolute D Y N A M I T E !!!!!

After 14 years of MISERY caused by him to our great club and its supporters, it is great that our new owners can stand up to him until he is forced to realise and admit just how C R A P he was (and still is). "So you want to sue us little Mikey?" "SEE YOU IN COURT PAL, WHERE WE CAN TALK ABOUT ALL THIS . . . "

Also, the 2000s under Sir Bobby, but not since then.

Over-reaction on steroids !!!

I think they will feel that they have "done their work for Saturday's match v Watford" and that the subsequent acquisitions - though still urgent to be done by end of January - do not actually need to be done before this Saturday. So, they are likely to be the younger, non-UK, more expensive purchases for the defence and midfield, and (perhaps) also another up-front.

A release clause in a players contract only means that his club must "tell him" if an offer for him is received of (or above) a certain amount. That's all. Everything else depends on whether the player is interested in the offer or not.

The two situations (ourselves and Burnley) could not possibly be more different - now and at any other time. Just think what the future could hold for Chris Wood here with us over the coming years, medium and long term . . . then compare it to "the best possible" at Burnley over those same years.
