Some of our 'fans' on here man. ?

Jesus wept, calm down fella. I might have been slightly out with the dates, but that doesn't mean I'm "100% wrong" ?. I can remember buildings being cleaned in the 70s when I used to go into town. Article here says work was started in the 70's. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/history/newcastle-exhibition-recalls-days-outlook-9833035

Architecture is about the design and construction materials used in a building, and not the condition of something. I agree that some of the buildings need a clean.....you should have seen it in the 70's before they started the Grainger Town Restoration project.

The state of the buildings has got absolutely nothing to do with architecture of the city, which is something to be proud of. The city has been hung out to dry by the Tories for decades, not sure anyone is surprised by this.

I see what you're saying, but which players were realistically available for us to buy?

Well said fella. Told some bloke behind me to wind his fucking neck in today, after he'd spent the first hour slagging off every player, the manager and even the owners off. 'Do you want Ashley & Bruce back you moaning cunt' seemed to shut him and his mate up. Honestly man. ?

They'll join a long list, but it's already been promised to someone. ?

Bruno or Trippier would be amazing for their contribution to the club, but as a Geordie, would love it be one of the local lads. BDB for me, his reaction would be off the scale.

There's a chance I could get a ticket using my Dad's ST, as due to his age and six defeats on the spin, he's definitely not going. However, I don't really want to go without my son. If I do go on my tod, will probably drive down early Sunday to family in Epsom, train in, meet up with mates in London and stop there Sunday night. Monday off work regardless.

Who can forget the genius of Sunlun's St Niall's Day, when your fans were asked to turn up in Irish colours against.....Plymouth. One of my favourite ever RTG posts, was someone describing how he furiously ripped his orange eyebrows off, when Plymouth scored their 3rd. Never change. ? https://m.independent.ie/sport/soccer/st-nialls-day-turns-sour-26415163.html

I can see us going back in for Ramos.

I remember a bad crush there in 1987 when we played there, pretty scary as a young lad. It's a really poorly designed stand, I still can't belive they haven't done anything to it since the disaster.

With regards Gordon, I remember a similar reaction when we signed a certain Craig Bellamy. Based on what I watched last season, there's definitely a player in there somewhere who is suffering at a club that is imploding and playing for a shit manager. I wouldn't pay anywhere near £50m for him mind, but definitely worth a punt for half of that.

Villa supposedly after Mikel Merino......I would be all over that mind.

That match thread is something else mind, today has utterly broken many of them. Imagine getting that worked up about another team man ?

I ruptured my ankle ligaments in 6 a side and didn't play for about 7 months. I was 20 years older and about 4 clem heavier to be fair.

Just backed off from him, terrible defending. They're excellent to watch mind.

I hope Wilson isn't going all 1996 Les Ferdinand on us here.

I thought he was the best player on the pitch in the Cup game up here last month FWIW, would definitely be a great addition to the squad.

FFS.

I know the likes of Bruno and Trippier have grabbed the headlines in terms of impact they've made at the club, but the part this fella has played must not be underestimated. An absolute colossus, one of our best ever signings.

Indeed. I'm sure I've got a kilt in my Dad's loft somewhere as well.

Breaking out my old 80's tartan scarf for this one tonight.

Spotted these the other day, which I've never seen before. Designed by Ove Arup, a famous Newcastle born architect.

Idiot.
