What a fucking side we are

Slept on it. Bad idea. Be having 7 instead.

Looking forward to 5pm.

After sleeping on it, yeah 10 or 15 minutes earlier.

The whole team was tbf, especially 2nd half. But that was against a Villa side with a caretaker in charge. If they play with a high line I think Isak would be the better fit given his pace compared with Wilson's. Plus he's our future through the middle. Love Callum but Isak should be starting most of our games in the striker spot. Thought it'd be Gordon tbh. Especially if he doesn't hit the ground running this season.

Me at 16:37 tomorrow.

It isn't on most occasions tbh.

They're really pushing fans to get in early, even got the players to record a message saying so. Guess they're anticipating this going absolutely tits up. I'll be 8 pints deep and getting to the ground any time between 17:05-17:20 like in any normal previous season for a 17:30 kick off.

In open play games like Leeds away, Palace away, Bournemouth home and away I agree. But other games such as Chelsea away, Leicester at home, Leeds at home, Palace at home, West Ham at home; it was down to finishing and missing numerous chances (refereeing as well tut tut). I think it's an issue but it's less of an issue than I probably first thought.

Given the way it was built up in that episode thinking back to that Southampton semi final, don't remember being worried/nervous at all personally tbh. We were 1-0 up on aggregate going into a 2nd leg at home against the team that was bottom of the league. If we were in any danger of ever losing that especially after going 2 nowt up on the night it would've been a bit of a disgrace tbh. Also remember being more gutted about Bruno getting sent off than elated about getting to the final. Suppose I'm just a miserable cunt.

Wasn't explicitly stated tonight but Spurs being the club that didn't shake NUFC's directors' hands and have sent the most messages lobbying against the takeover et al was more or less confirmed or reiterated as well. That Kane's fucking off today as well after hearing that is just *chef's kiss*.

Absolutely bang on.

The point about everyone in the league and media underestimating us again I agreed with and the Bruce-Keith Downie anecdote which was funny aside, it was pretty much all opinions and stuff we already knew.

Very much. Glad to be hyem.

There was fuck all in regards to transfers from tonight besides what Downie "thinks might" happen; could spend £35m-£40m on a LB, could also look for a loan with an obligation to buy in that position. Then it turned into how great a bloke they all thought Dan Burn was. Glad I didn't pay myself for it, put it that way.

Aye but pints in town

Going to ask Hope about just how feasible is it that a £75m budget can leave the atmosphere. Can't wait.

I'm at that TF journalist event tonight after being given a free ticket for it #mackem Caulkin, Hope, Douglas and Downie all there. I'll report back any interesting patter if there is any.

Maybe it's my East Stand tinted specs as that was where my ST was, where I try and get a seat every match and all my mates I go the match with and my dad all still have their STs there but I like the Brutalist look of it juxtaposed with the Georgian architecture of Leazes Terrace. Then you walk down Terrace Place and turn around and look at the stadium; Georgian buildings, Brutalist structure and the glass cantilever structure of the Milburn and Leazes from 2000. Architectural history literally within a stone's throw of each other, personally think it looks class. Again, that's maybe just me. It's obviously dated now: was built during the 1972-73 season and I imagine, like the rest of the ground, has had no major architectural change or restructure since the expansion to L7 in 2000 when the black and white seats and executive boxes ay the front of the stand were taken out.

33k empty seats? Must be a result of King Kev Mohammed bin Salman going house to house, knocking on doors in South Tyneside and County Durham and handing out free Sky dishes fire sticks and declaring the North Sea is retreating so its okay to now support Newcastle.

Go to Molineux in October, play them at SJP early March.

Can get 11/1 for that to be the bottom 3 any order on SkyBet rn. Just thrown a tenner on it.

Aye. Going to the football for a scrap with blades and shit. Like could you actually be arsed? Just go to the pub or something.

Him and Solano?
