I'd heard Burns car had issues because no-one could make their mind up whether he was better suited to driving in the left hand lane, or the middle one.

Because it was plagued with mechanical problems and rarely made it onto the road ?

Dan Burn drives a Smart car But seriously, some footballers aren’t overly flash. Maxi seems to love the trappings of wealth, which is fair enough. I’m not criticising him for that.

Maxi also appears to be very flash Got the Lambo and also a Bentley etc Not criticism of a wealthy bloke having expensive things, but he seems to embrace the millionaire footballer lifestyle

26 is still young and if he’s on £40k a week that makes him very affordable A club can’t flip him at his age, but he’s a relatively cheap option given how much people rave about him Going to Saudi suggests he isn’t generating genuine interest from established leagues Unless he prefers Saudi because of big wages, rather than playing in a decent league for less money

Find it telling that Maxi’s going to Saudi at 26. If he was genuinely viewed as hot property, at his age a decent side in a decent league would have been in for him. It’s been clear he’s not part of Howe’s mid term plans so if clubs fancied him they would have acted. Especially for £30m.

His Lambo’s parked in Jesmond right now Worrying

Word from a senior member of the non-playing staff was that Maxi isn't a great trainer compared to the rest of the squad. He grafts less and can't wait to play 5 a side, cos he's amazing at it and no-one can get the ball off him. From what we saw last season he's working harder in games and there's definitely been less pissing and moaning amateur dramatics when something doesn't go his way, but for me he still stands out as a player who doesn't click with the system. He's flamboyant and a bit of an enigma, which seems at odds with what Howe wants from his players, so I can see why he'd be peddled.

Welcome to the Costa Del Tyneside. As someone who lives under the flight path in NE29 my routine when spotting a private jet overhead is: 1) check the tail, is it definitely a private jet or Loganair 2) private jet confirmed, go on flightradar to see where it departed from 3) compare location with players we’re linked with 4) if it aligns, prepare the Kleenex 5) tell mother it’s a “do not disturb” situation, I’m in my room having a nap 6) when finished “napping” post on here to explain plane sighting and transfer theory

I adore a bit of plane spot geekery as much as the next man who registers high on the autism spectrum, but really, just seeing a private jet flying in / out of Newcastle isn’t enough to cause even a mild twitch in the y-fronts. At the very least have a plausible reason why the flight departure / destination might be interesting to football transfer nerds. Then we can happily hunker down over Flightradar and do some serious radar perving.

Basically this applies to any celeb going on James Corden’s telly show aye ?

Bruno G said to Harvey B Have you heard of Mad Dog & Eddie ? Yes said Barnes and I hate T-Rex arms So sign me up for NUFC

worrying

Medical done innit, they already flew out to Romania to give him a prostrate exam and collect a little jar of Harry Monk Just the big unveiling left to do when he arrives here

I'm of the mindset that if we're genuinely in for a player, be it Maddison, or whoever, and they don't want to sign then that's OK. We're an attractive proposition right now, so if a target isn't buzzing to get involved then it's not the right attitude to be bringing in, regardless of their on-pitch capabilities. So we move on. And as for the comments about location.....our current crop of non-geordies seem to love life up here, so if a bloke from an absolute shithole like Coventry felt the North East wouldn't be a decent place to live, then so be it

His lass ain't no ho, Blocked the pervs from N-O, That's Toonali

He’s a Newcastle fan, will watch games when he can but he’s not obsessive about football. Music is his obsession. And Star Wars. The makems have taken issue that he’s not a die hard supporter who goes home & away. And they also claim North Shields isn’t Newcastle so he’s latched onto a club that isn’t his local one. Daft cunts.

If anyone's in a football strip on stage it'd be Blue Hat, cos it's what he normally wears. Being proud of our amazing city and the rebirth of our club will be key themes this weekend. But at the end of the day it's a music event, not football. Don't be surprised if Local Hero and Champs League theme get an airing in the build up, but at the last Arena gig Sam actually asked the crowd to stop any football chants once the show started.

I know someone in the thick of things at NEOM, they're a Director in one of the main construction companies who are working for the Saudi's They regularly show me the plans that are being proposed for the buildings and locations. It's wild. Like someone's just taken a load of shrooms, smoked a massive bifta, had a little sniff of some Bostik and then decided to plan what a futuristic city in the desert could look like with costs being taken totally out of the equation. I for one, will welcome our floating stadium with massive escalators to the stands in the clouds.

My pal is a football shirt designer for top flight teams and says the materials Castore use and the way they construct and manufacture their shirts is proper cheap n nasty.

What a fun guy

Shit, shower, shave. Uber to Heathrow from Chelsea. Direct flight to Rio, probably sat in 1st class so priority boarding. Couple of pints, spray on some Issey Miyake in duty free, buy an XL Toblerone for the bairn and a bottle of gin for the missus. Would take a couple of hours max. I’d have done the same.

Do the Botman Don't ya slip, let your feet glide now. If ya got the groove, ya gotta use it. Light rhythm in time with the music. You just might start a chain reaction. If you can do the Bot, you're bad like Michael Jackson

Someone get the Casio out and have a look at what % of our games were on telly this season? It’s somewhere between shitloads and fuckloads, I know that much. What’s considered fair sponsorship value for a team in Champs League who played in a cup final and are constantly on the telly ? Between a gazillion and a squillion pounds obvz

Like many others I was completely disengaged from NUFC. Season ticket jacked, didn’t watch on telly, barely even bothered to check the scores. Being back in that ground in Oct 2021 was so emotional. But what I saw on the pitch was a shock, a disorganised unfit rabble. A shambles of a team. To suggest we’d qualify for the Champs League the following season with many of those same players would have been utter madness. What an immense achievement by everyone connected to NUFC. We’ve got our club back and it’s beautiful.
