Lush. And a Toon fan as well.

Makes no sense playing Colback with this referee. In fact in makes no sense playing Colback.

There's an Adam Johnson appreciation thread on RTG right now going into 7 pages. Says all you need to know about that paedo loving lot.

I doubt it's even been given any consideration. Given this referees 'performance' last time he was in charge of a Newcastle fixture I'm surprised the club haven't made their concerns known to the Football League, something other clubs have done in the past. Anyone who witnessed what happened that day knows too well it wasn't incompetence but he clearly had an agenda against Newcastle. We were drinking in a pub full of Baggies afterwards and even they were embarrassed about how the referee had won them that game. It was totally bizarre, surreal in fact, people in the away end were either going absolutely ballistic or just laughing in sheer disbelief! It was just something I've never experienced before in my Newcastle supporting lifetime. Plenty of incompetent referees but never anything like that. Not ideal but we're going to have to play this very carefully and give him no excuses to give anything major against us. Hopefully the fact it's live on TV all over the world will mean he doesn't repeat what he did last time.

I was just about to post this! I was there that day and he literally gave the most biased display of refereeing I've ever witnessed in over 30 years of watching Newcastle. It wasn't incompetence, it was downright cheating. I think if it had been a league game the club would have made a big thing of it and maybe asked to speak to the FA but because of our cup policy at the time they probably thought he'd done us a favour.

Surely not. Where did you hear this?

People want Sissoko to fail simply because of the way he's conducted himself and his blatant lack of respect to the club that paid his huge salary and it's supporters. Wijnaldum left earlier this summer for £25m and has had virtually no reaction at all from the fans.

You seen the way all those slack jawed yokels went on when the cameras went to Sunderland straight after the Brexit vote was announced. Nobody should be surprised by strange Mackem's views on here. Glad to see the mask start to slip this past few weeks.

Decided to take my son to the Brighton match but all the seats around me are taken up by season ticket holders so I rang them up and asked if I could move my season ticket seat for the one match so that we could get 2 together as he's too little to sit by himself. Lad on the phone couldn't have been more helpful and went round the different areas of the ground with 2 seats available next to each other (this was the day before the match) and managed to get us the last available pair in the Gallowgate.

When he stopped scoring goals as a centre forward.

Benfield are at home to Bridlington Town in terms FA Cup and are letting NUFC season ticket holders in for £4.

:lol:

Pretty good. A lot of deadwood on big wages shipped out and 4 or 5 excellent additions, with a few other very useful squad players brought in for the level we're at. 7-8/10.

Shelvey would be in our best XI. Yedlin as well I'd suspect.

He's featured for zero minutes of our current campaign. Getting £30m for him was a masterstroke.

Just because they matched the bid, doesn't mean they will continue to match the terms. Wasn't there talk of us accepting small installments? I'm gonna guess that has now changed. Were Everton paying up front like?

SSN saying they're still hopeful of bringing in a couple more.

Spent £54m, recouped £85m so I've just read on twitter. Not sure how accurate that is.

Balance sheet Champions 16/17

So we've now sold around £75m worth of players this summer. I wonder if the fans of other Championship clubs are still going to accuse us of buying promotion?

8 assists and 1 goal last season according to that transfermkt site. Still, who cares now? Someone was daft enough to give us £30m for him! Yeah but they only give him 3 assists against Norwich when he got 4 so it should be 9 assists for the season Like I say.......who cares?

It doesn't tbh but it's been used to knock Wijnaldum on numerous occasions.

That's awful. Robert did that in 6 months. Sissoko is nowhere near in the same class as Lauren Robert. Shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence.

Paully you spent years defending a CB who could do everything but defend, to be fair. At least Sissoko got plenty of assists. How many did he get? 8 assists last season. 3 of them in the home game v Norwich. Worth mentioning that because that match is always mentioned when people talk about Wijnaldum's scoring record..... 11 goals but 4 of them in one game etc
