Cort

My dad's first job in the NHS happened to be at the RVI, so we were lucky enough to move to Newcastle from India in April 1998, followed by a year in South Shields when he worked at South Tyneside District. Moved around the country a fair bit during those early years, but we settled in Cheltenham. As you can imagine from growing up there, my accent is now far from what people expect from a Newcastle fan, so I have to keep justifying my support but it is what it is.

In their next 9 fixtures, they have us, Man Utd (twice), Brighton, Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal. Outside bet to be in the doldrums come mid-March? Obviously Everton are my first choice to go down because of their fans, but I can’t stand the media bumming this lot get for their supposed ‘ultra’ scene and their high and mighty attitude and banner re our takeover. Not to mention all the crap they gave us about Pardew before he fucked them as well.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2023/01/15/chelsea-transfer-news-barcelona-assessing-legality-re-signing/ Newcastle's next kit sponsor Newcastle United have not signed a player in January but have been in talks off the pitch over a potential transfer. Adidas representatives watched the EFL Cup quarter-final win over Leicester City, amid interest from manufacturers in being the club’s next kit-makers following their Saudi Arabian investment and the club looking on the verge of success. Adidas made the kit during the Kevin Keegan era when they were last in the hunt for the Premier League title, and when Alan Shearer set the new record as the competition’s highest scorer.

SJP is gonna be a bear pit for that second leg; last night was just a wee trailer.

Home tie for the second game and Southampton; yeah I'll take this all night long.

This lot are all over the shop at the back, reminds me of us towards the end of McClaren's reign.

Gerrin Blackburn!

Manish mixed them up.

Definite contact here, shocked that wasn't given.

To continue banging the adidas drum, just saw this: https://www.footyheadlines.com/2022/11/saudi-arabia-join-adidas.html, so hope something can be worked out asap.

Hope the owners use this break to change the lettering on the East Stand.

Hopefully we can get adidas in, seeing as Silverstone was the one who signed Arsenal's deal to pivot to them back in 2019. Hopefully Dazza Eales has some adidas contacts from his MLS days.

Give him the Ballon D'or

Hopefully Man City keep this intensity up, because seeing Man U and their fans get smacked 8-0 would be fucking delicious.

Has anyone who's walked past the stadium in the last week or so noticed if they've got people to give the stadium a proper clean? Would be nice to see the stench from the last 15 years completely gone.

Was a shame what happened to Cort, aye.

Shame the real thing has the crest in that horrendous patch, because the leaks showed the old style adidas embroidery.

For me, it was the 4-3 win over Leeds in 2001. I was a young lad and this was only my third season following the club so the fact that it took us to the top of the PL on Xmas sticks with me. Also because we got home just in time for ITV to show their highlights package so I could record this.

1-1
