FFS, how the fuck we gonna compete with Man City then?!

Will be handy for kick offs

I'd say Lejeune-aside, all of our signings have been squad signings. Was hoping for and expecting improvements to the first team.

It'll be our new favourite trick, no doubt.

"And while only a handful of shirts were available, the former Real Madrid man chose 21 because he 'likes the number.'" A fascinating tidbit.

Couldn't escape if they wanted to.

Merino said the same.

That was almost NINE years ago too Nothing has changed, except us going backwards.

It's really noticeable as well how we're only a big club when it suits him, talking us down the rest of the time for his own benefit. Pardew really was his mouthpiece.

From that AO piece, the fucking nerve of this guy down the years man

There was something in one of his interviews a few months back (or it might have been an excerpt from that book) where he said he only really expects about 2 thirds of signings to work out. Something like that anyway

you partially colourblind? Yes I am. It's no laughing matter. Can't tell if you're being serious, I'm colour blind and it's no biggie like

you partially colourblind? Yes I am.

Maybe he meant more experience in general. More lies and creative recall of the past. Hughton wasn't made permanent boss until a few months into the season. From Hughton's Wiki: "During the off-season of 2009, owner Mike Ashley announced he was selling the club, and Hughton was again left with the job of caretaker manager when the club failed to further secure the services of Alan Shearer. This was followed by a statement from Llambias: "Mike Ashley feels it would be unwise to appoint a team manager when the club is for sale," leaving Hughton in charge for the start of the 2009–10 season." ... "A positive start to the 2009–10 season saw Hughton win successive Manager of the Month awards for August and September and then again in November, resulting in the board naming him as the new permanent manager of the club, after two stints as caretaker.[29] Hughton's league start to his managerial career was the best in Newcastle's history."

Unbelievable touch, sort of thing Bergkamp used to do.

Right under Elliott.

Looks like Shelvey did that simply because Alii flicked the ball away from him as well. By all accounts he's worked his arse off all summer and then loses his shit over something highly trivial in the first game. Bloke is crazy.

Needs help Shelvey like, loses his temper over absolutely nowt.

FFS MAN

They're quicker to every ball here, real culture shock for us.

Yep, got lucky there.

This. Fat embarrassing mess.

Full English Brexit types on Sky then, shock horror
