Shadow Puppets

Why? It’s the easiest thing in the world to do. Lift up your phone, show your COVID pass, done.

I'd prefer to have no branding around the roof/ Newcastle sign. Everything else I couldn't give two hoots about.

Hardly anyone is making a living out of YouTube like. I have a few friends who have over 500k subscribers and they make about £3000 a year from YouTube. Some of the very big channels will have monetised and gained big sponsors, but for the most part it’s just a popularity contest. Not a chance in hell that Adam Pearson is earning a living, or anywhere close to a living, from it.

Can't help but feel that lad has quite a few personality disorders like.

Thought both the team and subs were fine. Clark was an utter moron for what he did, but there’s not much between him and Fernandez quality wise. ASM was dead on his feet so bringing on Almiron for him was fine. And Willock was crap, so Hayden made sense.

Ah, well then replace him with Fernandez.

I don't think we really played 3-4-3 on Saturday. Ritchie was left back and Krath right back in a 4 for the majority. It was 4-5-1 / 4-3-3 for most of it.

Tindall said on 5 Live after the game that Howe was in constant contact throughout the game.

If any of the Wor Flags guys are looking for the “NUFC sold - under new ownership” banner, I know where it is. Just send me a DM ?

Loads to be positive about, but still think we’re in the shit. 5 (possibly 8 by the end of the weekend) is a big gap to bridge, but the overall performance was positive for the most part. Some very good attacking play marred by poor goalkeeping and a a few errors in defensive shape. Overall, much much improved though.

“Random put the iceing on the cake” ?

Aye, that's what I thought too

Actually at the stage now where I’m all in on Howe, and would prefer him to Rafa. It’s a more forward thinking appointment IMO.

Yes. Darren Lewis. Talksport regular. Biggest gobshite going.

No

Hang on…”expected to sign today”? Says who?

Darren “biggest gobshite in journalism” Lewis… writing an entire story off the back of a vague tweet about negotiations being ongoing with back room staff. To be a journalist!

Or, and this is just a crazy suggestion… we could just wait and not make up scenarios to get angry about?

The more I watch and read about Howe, the more I’m convinced it’s a GREAT appointment. Genuinely excited by his work ethic, obsession with bettering himself and his teams, and his forward thinking vision. Delighted! Let’s get this announced today!

He seems to just regurgitate other news that has already broken? At least he has regarding Fonseca and now Howe.

Didn’t he make out that Fonseca was about to sign two weeks ago?

He did that yesterday. He’s also an attention seeking bellend with seemingly no in the know knowledge.
