That statement will be like an arrow through the collective sunlun hearts. Anyways, nice to see us functioning like a normal club and you know, having employees at board level.

TL:DR Just kidding, thank you very much for explaining it. Whilst I was there at the time I just can't remember the attitude to it all. I think the advent of social media has allowed more people to have a voice, and people's opinions on everything these days more prevalent.

Whilst I'm getting on, I'm not quite old enough to understand the sentiment among fans at the time around the inception of the PL. Was this same scenario not prevalent then, but just on a smaller scale? In place of billionaires we had millionaires changing the landscape? Be interesting to hear thoughts of those who were conscious of the changing landscape of the time and how it compares.

I thin Bruno will come in now. Howe has shown some big balls to persist with the current middle men and thankfully, it's paid dividends. But we have a small buffer now, and can probably allow a little leeway with the selection as it isn't MUST WIN (yes I know we aren't safe, but them two games have allowed a little respite) Think he would've got more minutes before now had we not put in such resolute performances against two good sides.

Take all of my money, now.

Very small point from your overall very good point. Pumas attempts for these clubs is fucking shocking, on every level. Ok it's about the best financial package and how many we can shift, but yes, personally I would like some decent quality gear tbh. PSG is a complete non starter as they are a nothing club parading as a fashion brand, fuck that! We aren't a big name yet, hopefully that will come. But kids on the streets of every city aren't going to buy an Adidas Newcastle shirt next season because we have lots of money. In time I'm very sure we will move to one of the more reputable brands. I get where you are coming from though totally.

He's right about the small minority on message boards. They seemingly read RTG and there is no way you come away from there thinking these are well reasoned sound football fans. I'd be working against them as well considering half the shit they spout on RTG.

Castore gear is relatively decent tbh. I'd absolutely hate to revert to puma ffs, rotten gear. Short term I think castore is here to stay, and if we start doing well we are going to be a bit of jewel in their crown. I'd take umbro tomorrow mind.

Anyone else think an east stand banner would look fucking class though? Would be hard for TV to ignore and would be slap bang in players faces. I'm not sure the supporters would be too fussed either as the likelihood is they will all be asleep in East stand

Do it just for the fume on RTG. Pesky Saudis trying to take control of the 50/50 borderlands.

I accept him as he is. He infuriates me and makes me want to whip out peni-copter in the same breath. Thankfully it's more the latter than former.

I consider it a necessity for home games. So glad the fanbase are behind it. Felt like under ashley fans became almost selfish and entrenched. I know they existed under ashley, but they're being fully embraced by all now.

Obviously I agree, but I honestly laugh at the likes of wraith these days.

Goodnight sweet prince.

I'm fully invested, all in, hugging strangers and throttling my lass when we scored yesterday* It's the thought that Ashley is no longer involved. Everything is new & fresh & exciting and when I used to dream during the depths of Ashley's reign, telling people if nufc was ever taken over and the owners showed a little ambition that this club just connects and builds up momentum Early days of course, but tell me you can't feel that momentum building right now, and its cautiously on the crest of something big. *Not greenwood throttling.

He's been huge on the field, but thankfully he seems to have made a huge impression off the field. As a collective we are pulling in the right direction. That's said I hope he's not out too long

Couldn't believe when someone called Trippier shit on our matchday thread in RTG (how is that even a legitimate sentence ffs) They are probably the only fans in the country looking at Trippier for 12/15m or whatever and thinking he's shite. And you can bet your life they're now foaming at the gob at the prospect of him being injured now. As is the way.

Those 3 in the midfield are playing like they don't want to lose their place to Bruno. And as much as I want to see Bruno, long may it continue. This is what healthy competition and feel good factor does to a squad.

Do wor flags have an ASM flag in their repertoire?

I mean I'm not telling you how to feel, only yesterday I said we will get beat 0-2. Just geeing up the troops! HWTL

It's match day, time to banish all pessimistic and negative thoughts and pull for a win irrespective of opposition!! Yes I realise I'm flip flopping between emotions

We going big again tomorrow then @Heron ? Can't underestimate how big a part WF play in building a raucous atmosphere.

I know, I always go in with an open mind and a quiet hope. I was bolstered by the Everton game after feeling the good vibes in the ground but then I come on here and a week goes by and I develop a cautious negativity. Defence mechanism.

0-2. Don't think I'd ever predict a win for Newcastle even if we were playing league 1 Sunderland with a team full of galacticos. It's the nufc way.

We're Nazis and they're a better club being ran by conmen. I mean one thing is correct in that statement at least. Imagine that being your mindset though man, bet he grips that comfort blanket tighter after our latest wins.
