That play between Willems & ASM in the build up. Wonderful stuff.

Incredible goal.

ASM easily drifting by defenders for fun. Looks like he'll be very entertaining.

1-0. Joelinton.

Leazes & Gallowgate look pretty empty, East Stand looks pretty full as usual. We're playing okay, pedestrian game though. Joelinton showing some good touches.

Seems to be geo-restricted. Got my VPN set to France and it's saying server error. Working fine for me, try Touch VPN set to France.

Impressed with Sluga the new Luton keeper. Error aside, which any keeper can make - I thought he looked really good all round. Good with his feet and some quality saves.

Newcastle 1-6 Arsenal.

Apparently he wore those ones as they reflected the OGC Nice colours. Wonder if they have any black and white offerings otherwise he may have to revert to a mono Dunlop one from Uncle Mike.

Nothing can or will absolve Mike Ashley and the club's hierarchy from what has been a shambles of a summer, however I am allowing myself to be pleased and even excited about this lad coming in. It's not his fault that the club is ran so poorly, or that we allowed a brilliant manager to walk replacing him with mediocrity - therefore I am looking forward (from the comfort of my home) to seeing what he brings to the team. Couldn't care less about the transfer fee - I don't think it's overpaying at all, it's simply what Premier League clubs spend these days. The norm. We should be doing that. Will take some time to settle imo, much like Rondon, but I think he can do very well here.

Check out this match report from the official site Somebody was paid to write that...

You should have something against Bruce, the bloke is clearly a fucking arsehole after how he's treated Shef Wed, and it's not the first time he's done it. Bloke has no integrity whatsoever. Don't let his place of birth fool you into thinking he's a "decent bloke". When did I say he was a decent bloke because he’s from the area? My point is that the Steve Bruce component of this mess is irrelevant. The club is a joke, and will continue to be so long after Steve Bruce until there’s a drastic change. Bruce is just another name.

Note the lack of any positive messaging in the announcement. No “we are excited” or “we are pleased”. Just “Steve Bruce has been appointed head coach”. Fuck this club man. (nothing against Steve Bruce tbh, but my passion & energy for the club is clearly not matched by the club therefore I’ve other things I’d much rather focus my energy on).

I don't think it will be Bruce. Odds getting 'slashed' doesn't necessarily signify anything of substance. If interest was there, I feel Ashley would expect Bruce to resign in order to take the job rather than pay Sheff Wed their compensation. Bruce seems to have a good relationship with the club and their fans so I hope for their sake and ours that this rumour doesn't amount to anything, and I don't suspect it will.

BZG (supposedly) released another vague statement confusing people more than they were already. Well, Peter Redding (who?) from some Middle East radio station released it saying it's from BZG, and that they think it's a better way to release a statement than officially (thinks no legitimate company ever). It did contain this great line though "The current owners have cooperated amicably throughout this process and if a deal is not forthcoming it will not be due to lack of effort from both parties" :lol: They're now playing Ashley's tune. Thanks Cracked me up that like I've no words. Appreciated the summary but don't feel any further in the know. Think I'll just sit this wave out.

Can somebody summarise what’s gone on/been said for me please?

Mings for £26m Football is shite man.

Perez off? Don't blame him like but fucking hell. What a horror show our wonderful club is. Sheer neglect.

This.

You make films? Interesting, care to share anything you've worked on? I'd love to take a look!

Cheers Rafa I've bloody loved following the club in the last few years. As we all know, however, he is far bigger than this club in its current state and under its current ownership. Very sad to see him leave; and whilst part of me believed he would still be here next season - ultimately you just can't really be shocked anymore with Newcastle United.

Why do any rich tea business owners continue to work? fyp
