That’s why I said West Ham would’ve been a better example to use instead of Spurs. Regardless of facilities on offer at the ground it’s the big location change that effects the original pub routes as the footfall takes people elsewhere. Anyway let’s see what is announced… 👍🏻

I’d forgotten about that. Vaguely remember that story now.

I disagree. The pubs are rammed solid pre and post match and SJP has bars inside and the club have built the Stack. As for Spurs specifically reading the comments I did the other day from their fans similar to ourselves service and prices are poor but also they don’t have the amount of pubs we do. I’ll repeat the Tweet is about not spending money in the ground as they don’t like Levy. Nothing at all to do about struggling local businesses and pubs

Before I get too deep I’ll remind you and anyone reading that I’ve never bought anything at SJP on matchday in the 41 years of going. Not one penny I’ve never been someone who thinks alcohol goes hand in hand with the football experience. I’ve always believed it’s about being around your friends if you are fortunate enough to have some with a similar love for football. I’ve never had a routine as I get bored with routine so what pubs or cafes I go into pre and post match varies. I’ve nothing against those who do have their routines. Most based on no mobile phones back in the day so you had to prearrange. I know and meet some who do. Having said that if the prices and quality were good (Spurs charge less for alcohol than some not all local pubs) and my friends wanted to go in early (always thinks that helps the atmosphere with away games) or hang back to enjoy a good result with them whilst transport cleared (buses to Gateshead home tend to be full for 45-60mins, particularly midweek with pub queues nearby the bus stop as @Dr.Spaceman pointed out not the greatest) then I’ll not have no problem simply because I believe my money will be used for the good of the club under this ownership. They however won’t force me to stay any longer that I’d want to nor will they force anyone else but if it benefits some and the club make some extra money from it so be it 🤷🏼‍♂️ Maybe Newcastle (& Gateshead!) would benefit on having a community vision for their city centres to flourish solely not based on pubs…

Thats not the point I’m making. If you read my post again. Spurs’s new ground has not stopped anyone going to the pubs they used to go to. West Ham’s did make it much harder. So to use Spurs as bad example of what we’ll end up with if we did similar is rubbish.

There’s one to debate. If you could have football atmospheres of the 90’s back but no Internet/Newcastle Online which would you choose…

That I’m afraid to say is a load of rubbish. Spurs “new” ground is in exactly the same place as their “old” ground Id of given you or anyone else a pass if you debated ending up in West Ham’s situation. Spurs fans are just unhappy with their team (again!) and are trying to encourage fans not to give the club their money and spend it elsewhere. Absolutely nothing to do with wanting their old ground back

Or LW hence me posing the question. Can’t see him getting many minutes otherwise.

It’s why I’ll always defend him. He never was a RW. He did a selfless job for the team without complaint. Managers dream really.

The discussion is Willock though. Thinking how does EH give him more minutes whilst also freshening us up so we don’t become predictable 2nd half of season. Has he ever played much RW for us ever?

Our rotational RW for rest of the season with Murphy? Discuss…

For those who watch him how’s Kane looking this season?

It’s what makes them relevant.

Ferguson to West Ham surely. Knows the manager and wouldn’t need to move home. West Ham desperate for a striker. Makes sense all round.

Sounds like £’s at least

I love how everyone who’s complaining about the atmosphere are against anything that seems to help make an atmosphere because it’s not cool Also I don’t see the play in criticising other fans making an attempt to create an atmosphere at their clubs. You come across very miserable… maybe the issue at SJP is closer to home than you realise

Just watched the end of the match cam. Shame his shot was blocked at the end. Fitting farewell getting serenaded by the fans though.

What actually is the latest with Paqueta? Thought he was facing a lifetime ban yet all he’s picking up is MOTM awards

Nope. As much as I love him. As the previous post highlights he has his limitations.

Just glad I’m not the lone voice in the Jacob Murphy fanclub anymore. Those that know… know He may not always execute what he wants to do but he see’s it which I’ve always thought is the main thing and the confidence he’s gaining is allowing him to attempt what he sees and the more he attempts the more he accomplishes what he wanted. Weirdly with his physical build he could have a similar latter career to Giggs if he keeps progressing and producing. One of those types of player that doesn’t lose a yard until very late in their careers. Obviously not comparing the players overall as that would be silly.

On that topic it’s something Isak needs to be better at also. He’ll never be the strongest I’ve accepted that but he could be much cuter at vital times to relieve some pressure.

Yep wasn’t at it both sides of the game. Left Hall exposed for the goal build up causing Burn to come out of position I felt at the time. Thought similar last week. His defensive work has dropped off lately.

I think Howe has helped with this also.

Always has been. Too many on here too blind to see.
