Burnley being bonkers again… ?

It’s the season 2023/24 and players still not showing Saka on to his right ?

You’ll be on your 8th pint still… ?

Same system brought to SJP by Silverstone ?

Personally love the idea of the arena site. The club could run boats down the Tyne carry fans from as far as Shields. Build a dock/fanzone. Entering Newcastle via the Redheugh Bridge by car or train or metro for the home and away fans the view of the ground would look spectacular.

We will know within 12 months when feasibility study is complete… And my money is on will build a new stadium near current site. Ready for 25/26 earliest but more likely 26/27. Anyone who’s got a problem with that has probably got a good seat/ST so I would pose to them would you rather have a ST in the new ground most likely a equal or better seat or do you want to remain at SJP and relinquish your ST for those who can’t get in regularly currently ? Feel free to bookmark ?

Is that wise on this one occasion? ?

This basically. Think a versatile defender coming in and that’s the window done. And the obligatory loans out of Fraser, Haydn & Hendrick hopefully.

He’s not that bad. He’s just not our manager and not our club he’s fighting for so will always skew things a bit. He’s admitted in the clip he was wrong. Have more issues with his touch line behaviour personally but again he’s a winner and that behaviour is sometimes the trait of a winner.

I was talking about the new rules. The normal seems to be 69mins. So 6mins of actual football is not a massive increase. Nor does 11mins ?

Him and his reps. Though in fairness I thought the player had made it clear earlier in the week he didn’t fancy Liverpool and wanted Chelsea. Was surprised to wake up to the news that Liverpool had won the race as he seemed to have his heart set on a London club.

Didn’t think it was Gil. Was it not the Deportivo chairman? Used to have negotiate at weird hours of the day if I recall. Like 2am for Luque ? Could be wrong but definitely rings a bell.

He hasn’t had a lot of minutes. Not sure what has went on with Spurs pre-season. Looks like they’ve only played 4 games as opposed to our 7 and Kane & Maddison didn’t feature at all in the 4th game. Maddison 2x45 1x70.

Was stuck with some Villa friends after the game and they said that was the best they’d played in years. First game of the season always hard to predict. Usually at least one daft result on the weekend. I usually think it’s down to who gets their second wind first as usually there is a dip of intensity 55-70mins opening game.

Yeah was at that game too. Although the goal finally came from a deserved penalty they could’ve been out of sight.

Dare I say it like ASM under EH. Grealish has been average overall for Man City. That’s not to say he’s an average player which seems to be what people are struggling to make the distinction between. As @geordie_b said he’s had one poor season (I don’t think anyone can argue that?) and his second season started off slowly but ended very well in the home straight albeit in the Final of the ECL and this years CS the other day he wasn’t anything special again. I don’t disagree he’d probably get into most teams in the league as if you get into Man City’s then it goes without saying. However I do think he’d “look” possibly a better player elsewhere.

The tone was set within 30 seconds. Start of the second half if we take one of our chances then it could’ve been a different game but more we pushed the more vulnerable we looked on the counter. One thing that was noticeable was how many decisions they got off the ref. I’m never one to make much comment on refs but that day they were throwing themselves to the ground at every opportunity. It was so frustrating in the ground watching the ref buy it every time.

Mind you regarding Wilson he has an excellent record in his career against Villa and I know EH does think about things like that also.

Villa are probably the last team you want to be facing with a tight hamstring ? Think he’ll miss out.

I’m personally against all loans full stop. Would strengthen the pyramid system is why in short and make the playing field more even. Like I say that’s a bigger debate for another day ?

Thought a bonus scheme had to be agreed by the whole squad? Or am I thinking of something else?

There should be a maximum squad size so a one in one out basis. Also no loans but that’s a different and bigger debate.

Well there’s two sets of fans in the ground and two teams. We can’t just apply the rules to the opposition ?

You’ve completely missed my point. When people are paying to go to the game whoever it is whatever the club they are generally getting sick of time wasting and cheating. I can validate it by saying I go so not only do I get frustrated with it but everyone seemingly sitting around me. This has grown as time wasting has increased and at the same time prices have. You think differently. That’s fair enough. You did by saying it would suite possession based teams and you’ve implied it again in your response ?
