Should be fine you massive massive tourist.

Be nice for a shit decision in terms of 'diving' etc to go our way for once. Also, how come Sterling didn't get booked for diving outside the box at the Leazes? But aye, naive from our players with 'slight' touches on the City players when you know they'll fall over...however there was on point where Diame literally got hugged to the ground and the ref totally ignored it.

Went down on Saturday. Probably one of my favourite aways that I’ve done. Met up with my uncles hammer mate, was very generous about us and predicted a win before the match for us too. As for the match, pretty good game for a neutral to watch. Frustrating, exciting, nervy and joyous as a Newcastle fan to watch. Stadium is a good venue, just not for a football match. There’s next to nowt going on around it, tube is a 15/25 minute walk from the ground, with absolutely nothing en-route. A pretty soulless experience in all honesty. No character, no nowt. It’s a stadium which should’ve remained an athletics stadium or other multipurpose venue however 200m ‘home’ for Fuck all and profit from selling Upton Park is a win for the porn barons I suppose.

Let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be...

I'm going down for this, so inevitable defeat.

Top fucking work.

Quality.

Can easily get round FFP if we just get sponsored by whoever is taking over’s business...ala Etihad etc. It’s a load of shite anyway as displayed by PSG signing Neymar and Mbappe with zero consequences.

Reminder to self. Don’t come on here after a defeat.

Traffic was shite. Believe pilgrim street was closed by police 5:45ish for some reason.

When the deal actually happens?

I rely on nufc_oscar86_ for all of my takeover news.

Just watched the presser. Definitely knaas something.

Knows absolutely fuck all. Like the rest of them.

Aye.

This basically. Genuinely intriguing pictures. If it had gone shite, they’d not be all smiles that’s for sure.

FYP

I think its telling that no denial has came from that lawyer chap since the 'leaked' bid nearly three weeks ago. Absolute silence. I still believe its all going on behind the scenes and ultimately will end in one of two ways...we get bought out, or we don't. Until that point anything thats being speculated in the press is simply that.

And so the bullshit begins: https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/west-bromwich-albion/2017/11/29/alan-pardew-promises-to-free-up-west-broms-talented-squad/

Its been said many times but during Ashley's ownership, we've went from perennial European Competition qualification (albeit lesser so nearer the end of Hall/Shepherd), to two relegation, flirting with relegation and one fluke of a season in that 5th spot. Our commercial revenue used to exceed Spurs. Now we sit behind the likes of Southampton. Not to mention Joe Kinnear (twice), SJP renaming, Pardew, Carver, numerous cronies employed, the latest HMRC and massive penny pinching season upon season. We've went from eternal hope that one day we might win something, to constant mediocrity and being told we should be happy with it. Fuck that and fuck him. They'd have to basically take over, burn the stadium down and fold the club to be much worse in my opinion.

This.

Always makes me laugh whenever anything like this happens...

Paul Dummet is massively average, however he's massively average at defending, which sadly is infinitely better than Manquillo being massively shit at defending.

Ryder finally googling what Due Diligence actually means.
