I love that in the match cam you can hear some random yell "fucking do him" right before Gordon's goal.

The account for the replays got shut down pretty quickly. Saw one game then tried another and account had been suspended

Why? 

I think because it seems so ordinary, just Mark Viduka making lattes for uni students that wander in

 “I can understand why they (the Newcastle fans) were angry because they haven’t got into a cup for a very long time. But football’s not everything, there are ways of making money. Reselling things is not illegal. I put it up on my Instagram story to try to make money but I can understand why they’re a bit pissed. But it’s not me, it’s the person above me. I understand it but it’s still stupid from them… they just wanted to make a scene.”

 

What an absolute lost cause he is. 

The whole interview comes across as "it's not really my fault" and that he hasn't learned a single thing from any of these events.

It did remind me that Mark Viduka now owns and runs a coffee shop, which I find slightly hilarious.

Cucurella 

Mudryk with a homage to the 90s bowl cut look I see. He’s been on what, six minutes, and looks gassed already

The last ditch defending (and lack of finishing) is fantastic viewing

A career that defied all expectations 

The loan spells with no appearances is truly an Ashley-era Newcastle move

If anyone somehow has a rec for a bar in Vienna that will definitely have this on please let me know

I’m not sure about *definitely* but when I passed through there a few years ago about this time, Flanagan’s had all the PL games on and specifically advertised game showings

I only listened to the first half disclaimer but it’s the usual 

 

- Waugh almost crying as he refuss to watch international football.
- The return of Waugh likes sausages and should host a meat podcast.

- I ripped people off for a jolly to Belgium and will mention it but not like that.

I've listened to some other teams' Athletic podcasts and even the bad ones are miles ahead of Pod on the Tyne. It desperately needs the Old Yeller treatment.

I agree totally. Add it to the list of absolutely shite things about modern football. 

 

NB. I actually have a list.  I decided to jot it all down at the start of the season as a therapeutic exercise, it was good. Observe terrible handwriting:

 

The handwriting is horrific (mine is just as bad) but the cup is fantastic. I definitely read “beholden” in the 6th point as “bladder”

It’s a good move for him. He’s helped the national team massively. I think a bit too much blame is being laid at his door for Canada not doing well at the World Cup, and by his and others admission, they probably qualified too early. They certainly suffered to not being able to play European or South American teams in friendlies.

 

Apparently Forge FC manager Bobby Smyrniotis is an early favourite for the Canada job, he was also an early favourite for the Toronto FC job.

That and our federation being broke contributed to the move as well. Gotta love an FA that says “we’re broke” then immediately tried to backtrack that.

Nice to see Ashby hit the ground running after his injury woes

Wait is this true?!

Yeah, MLS has been running a tournament with LIga MX. There were some dumb rules: draws were decided by penalty shootouts with the winner getting an extra point and the loser getting just a single point for the draw, Mexican teams couldn’t play in Mexico, if you played a home game against a Mexican side, they were seen as the home team.

Apparently there was no NUFC merch on sale at the match while there was for all other teams. 

This was an issue last U.S. tour. Spoke to some of the staff at Portland when we went there under McClaren and they were stunned we had no merch to sell to fans.

I've written some shit in my life, but this might take the cake:

"Newcastle need to be mindful of the fact the squad, in its current form, does not have the variety, depth or quality of the more established clubs they intend to challenge on an equal footing every year."

Thanks, Sherlock.

RIP the Canucks syruping all over the thread.

 

Always got the Blue Jays, I guess.

The country hasn’t been this low emotionally since the great Quebec syrup heist. 
 

But honestly, no complaints about the score and nice to see some of our younger players get some game time and develop (ie: Ali Ahmed)

Last two times I've worn my toon top out (running) here in Canada some random's remarked on it (Newcastle!). It had happened before, but not at the rate of twice in a week. We're massive.

When I lived in Ottawa, I had my Northern Rock top on and some guy said he thought it would be worth something due to Northern Rock going under. Sadly, he was wrong.

I was a Utd fan for 30 years before this summer - trust me when I tell you we do not want McTominay. 

 

 

 

Ah, yes those infamous thin Manchester United seasons in the past 30 years. Tbf you missed out on some great Newcastle moments: awful owner, relegations, fucking around a player undergoing cancer treatment, John Carver showcasing some incredible handwritten letters, just to name a few highlights.

Yeah, missing 10 starters. Just isn't the depth behind that yet. The Guatemala game was atrocious. That said it was near +40 with humidity and the game started at 9pm local!

 

Guadeloupe actually have a fairly solid team. A couple of top tier league players and mainly all French expats that play in Ligue 2. 

 

Canada should be beating both though. Lots of new players simply not gelling. Ahmed from the whitecaps looks a great find for the program though as does mls rookie Bombito. Canada desperately needs CB's. It's a gong show back there.

The background stuff with the CSA saying bankruptcy was possible then trying to walk it back also wasn’t helpful.
