Stifler

They can land, but they can’t take off, not fully loaded.

So far it’s a rumour. The airport is in the process of selling it’s 49% stake to a new investor, believed to be PIF, but that sale has not been completed.

Absolute no chance we get a Saudia route. We don’t have the Middle Eastern or Muslim population in the North East to justify it. Right now even Saudi Arabia doesn’t have the pull for onward connections to the far east and Australia like Dubai or Qatar does, even then we have our Emirates service.

And Taylor Swift is the biggest singing star globally right now and she’s fucking shit. Garth Brooks is the biggest selling solo artist of all time and no one outside of the Southern state of the USA likes Country music. Man Utd are possibly the biggest ‘supported’ club in the world, and they only just escaped relegation last year. Popularity does not translate to being good.

He’s an absolute wrong un like. There is something massively off with him.

Does South Korea live in the 90’s where shitty girl bands are popular?

Is that a penalty?

Barnes’ name looks like PlayStation button symbols.

1-1 Barnes.

Unlucky there.

There was literally a flag at the end of it, and the commentator is still insisting that there wasn’t.

I don’t know how to describe it, but it feels like we are playing in another teams strip, not an away strip, but someone else’s.

Joelinton reverting to pre-Howe days there.

The club last week sent out emails asking people if they would join a panel once a month about merchandise etc. I’m absolutely saying the coverage of our pre-season stuff is shocking as we have essentially piggybacked on other teams’s coverage.

Throwing in Nunez increases the price, not reduces it.

Coverage is fucking shit. You can tell that we are just using Spurs’ coverage. 2 and a half minutes of highlights of their goal and showing everyone one of their players reaction as you can hear us on the attack. Then the commentary is talking about us in a 3rd person sense, and Spurs in 1st person.

I think for very wealthy people, location is as much of an issue anymore. Shopping is done online, and even in Newcastle you can get designer clothes. Heck Tonali moved here from Milan and he has a supermodel girlfriend, and Almirón had a wife who was also a supermodel. The Theatre Royal is part of the royal Shakespeare company etc. There are some very nice places to live in Newcastle and the region as a whole etc.

I’m not a fan of the home shirt. Up close it looks weird, very shiny. I also hate the blue trim. The 3rd shirt is great, and I like both the yellow and pink goalkeeper tops.

Not that I don’t think he’ll eventually go to Man Utd, but Alex Crook is nothing more than a Twitter reader and top 6 spin merchant. He’s also a very insufferable Man Utd fan.

I’m not sure if my mate in the police is winding me up, but apparently the club have asked the police to support them in requesting a reduction in allocation to Liverpool fans for our match against them because of ‘an increased threat in supporter clashes’. It seems like the club is that pissed off with Liverpool, that we are going to make everything difficult for them.

Gambling the Premier League and the parachute payments on staying up.

Some teenager with the new Liverpool shirt on at the North Shields vs Newcastle Benfield match. His dad is talking about how they are going to get Isak for £140m in a broad Geordie accent, with a Swindon Town FC tattoo on his leg.

I’d also make it so the release clause is only for European teams in the Champions League, and not English teams.

Anyone fancy complying me to watch North Shields play today?

It makes no difference for us really. In reality I think our 3rd kit will be used more than our away kit.
