  1. We want to remain fan funded as much as possible because we are independent from the club. Whilst we work with the club and collaboratively on most displays, we don't want them to define what we say and do. The message and display has to be organic and pure. Whether that is a heartfelt message or an ode to an old strip, it is Newcastle United. The fans, are Newcastle United. They are a business operating in the football industry under the guise of Newcastle United. This isn't necessarily the feeling of Wor Flags but that of my own. Too much 'club' involvement leads to too much corporate vibes, and trust me when I say we've kicked back on a similar amount that the club have suggested as they have to us. My personal view is that the players connect to it more because of that level of separation, and hopefully knowing that if they do the right thing for us as players, we will back them wholeheartedly.
  2. Steve Bruce didn't give his all. That's the difference.
  3. Class. Absolutely mint. Just goes to show folk shouldn't be so quick to write off those lads who graft and graft. Sometimes hard work alone pays off.

    Alexander Isak

    He's got to be one of the best goalscorers around at present. Worldwide.
  5. Thanks for this. So now we are officially top 8 aye? Mint that yi kna. Europe or not. That's some feat.
  6. Makes all warm and fuzzy inside this. I felt like it was aimed at Wor Flags (I know, farfetched but I don't care )
  7. He's going nowhere this summer. Absolutely nowhere.

    Because half the stadium fucking groans at him if he does the slightest thing wrong.
  9. Youre welcome. As per my previous post, thank to you guys who donate.
  10. Thank you! It cannot be done without people separating with their hard earned and putting faith in us!
  11. Took me about 40mins to map on Excel using conditional formatting. The one we have planned for Brighton (if we do it) took a lot, lot longer and will look outstanding if we pull it off. Took myself and one other 2 hours to map out the yellow outlines on Thursday then yesterday we had 30 helpers from the Swedish Mags group who helped blast the display out the water in like an hour. We then stayed back to refine some bits and tidy etc.
  12. Where's best to get the Yellow and Green Greenalls shirt in town? Start Fitness or Back Page perhaps?
  13. We do it in Excel for the most part and follow our self designed seating plan. Then eye ball it in after it's done.
  14. 6a ina rowa marra-a (I think that's what they said in the commentary)
  15. Of course everyone says "should" or "shouldn't" based on perceived luck or misfortune. However the reality is that luck doesn't exist. Newcastle "should" have won vs PSG because they weren't lucky to be ahead - they had a game plan, they stuck to it and it "should" have worked because on the day, PSG didn't have enough to break us down. They went out as a result of either a) Cheating or b) Terrible officiating. xG is a pile of wank stat, really, they all are except for goals. They're indicators of how a game has been played and nothing else. Newcastle had what, 23% possession vs Spurs at the weekend and absolutely dicked them 4 - 0.
  16. PSG should have been 1 - 0 down and should not have had a penalty to help them get anything from that fixture because they alone could not score against a resilient, defiant Newcastle United.
  17. Mad how times change. I'm now hoping 2 German teams win the Champions League.
  18. I really hope Dortmund fucking smash these cheating, despicable twats. Fucking lifting.
