It's more than likely this. Ok it's team lineups, but he has proven (I think) he has a line in backroom/club. Unfortunately been stung way too much with positive noises so I'm channeling my inner nufc coach, and keeping my powder keg dry.

Strange, was giving me a lil Chubb on.

Got to love big dubs.

He's done fuck all for ageeeees man. And he's not exactly the role model we want in the dressing room considering the daft knacker was being babysat by Kevin Nolan ffs. Leon best was ok for being scarcely used but offering something. Carroll is a big c*nt and that's it.

Cant bare to watch that, but if that is an actual quote did he elaborate on why he thinks that? Because sitting here I can't even muster one positive of Carroll playing football in 2021, nevermind for nufc.

Likewise. Id say the 'clique' is just the everyday posters who obviously discuss this shit club daily. I'm happy on the sidelines. Well not happy, pretty despondent actually

Yeah this worries me more than anything. How lightly they've got off breaking up the football pyramid for their own gain. Compare that against the seemingly gritty determination to stop the NUFC takeover I'm not sure how anyone is confident. I'm just looking forward to the day I can either sever my ties, or start enjoying football again.

Flight tracker seems to think it's heading to Nice. I love how pointless plane watch is man

Throw him on the knackered pile ffs man Like that pair of old socks you just can't part with despite all your toes poking through the front.

Fuck that let them leave if 20m is best they can muster. They were trying to reform the game at the top level for their own financial gain. 20m is almost an insult if not wholly expected. Yet our takeover is being scrutinised to the nth degree, odd the PL to say the least.

I've still got this, I think it's a decent shirt tbh

Do we really need an Arabic bullshit account like? I'm sorry but he really is making some odd moves this ketih fella. Not doubting his intentions were good at the start, but now he is a circus. Fell right into the Steve wraith pile unfortunately.

This from experience or??

We may joke about this. But the sad truth is it's the reality. We should accept our lot and shut up.

Fair, I honestly didn't know where he came from. Fortunately I gave up reading all the far fetched stories/overtly negative stories last year. Bad for your mental health!

Fair I suppose. Still find it odd why he's picked this story up and ran with it though. Journalists who cover nufc don't even go to such depths, unless you count the baldy feminist over at the telegraph.

Why is Ben Jacobs so in the loop though. Is he doing actual journalistic work or what? Still perplexed at his deep knowledge and/or deep interest in it. His points might be right mind, I don't listen to wraiths podcast or any twitter nonsense.

So in demand by desperate tinpot clubs, like ours unfortunately. He's nearing the end of his PFM sell by date though.

I personally like our current crest the way it is. Don't see why they maybe couldn't do a different style on an away or third shirt perhaps.

Thank god we have the Euros as a bit of a distraction otherwise we would all be sitting dissecting bread photos for a few months before BruceyBall MK3 kicks into gear. I'm probably gonna give this section of the forum a larger wide-berth than usual this summer. Let's hope we have something positive to discuss come new season.

Assumed there must've been some other reason, because I'm honestly baffled why he has an opinion on any of this. Maybe knackers on twitter keep asking him stuff and give his ramblings credence?

Sorry if I've missed something but is Ben Jacobs some kind of law buff? Feel like we hang on his every word as almost gospel, yet I'm not sure how or why he is so involved in any of this other than being a shady fucker who worked for Bein a while ago.

No you PIF off, you fupping baxter.

Like fuck am I feeling sorry for the mess now, they're really trying to spin a totally different picture with a few good performances at the end of the season. People may want to give him a little credit and that's their prerogative, but hand on heart if you were asked is Steve Bruce the manager to take Newcastle forward, galvanise the club and make it a club to be proud of, I'd imagine it would be a resounding no. Understand it's a little more nuanced than that what with Ashley etc. but Steve is too polarising from the start to ever make something of it here. He honest to god doesn't get NUFC. For all he's from here he just isn't in tune with it all. Bollocks rant over.

Not that you're wrong, but don't put it past people who think they're untouchable lying until the very minute they're found guilty. My ex employer case in point
