Would love for our owners not to bail them out this time for once… if not Saudi, who’s going to buy all their overpaid useless players?

Don’t mind the shorts and socks… 🤐

We should definitely be phoning up Cunha tonight to talk him out of throwing his career away by moving down from Wolves to Man Utd…

Just beat Arsenal and enjoy watching everyone else shitting themselves the last weekend 💪

Yes. Really hoping we somehow get Cunha to play exactly this role, though I know the Man U rumors are strong with him. Eze also interesting there. Honestly would rather stick with Murph RW for another year if that was a price of prioritizing a Cunha instead. Think it would lift our attack so much.

All I can see when I look at this:

We buy Ramsey and they buy Vlachodemusandpliers, more like. It’s tradition!

Could Eze play as a more technical / less physical option for the Joelinton position in our system? Seen some reports he’s going to leave Palace, would offer a lot more than Willock going forward I’d think. And we wouldn’t need him to take penalties thank god.

Trafford Arda Guler Scalvini 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Scalvini. (I’m shamelessly trying to manifest this lol.)

Really poor for Brazil today I thought… at fault for the goal they conceded after dawdling on the ball just outside the box, and generally just looked very sluggish. Not sure if hungover, literally or figuratively, from Sunday? Or maybe just a bit at sea in Brazil’s tactical setup (they had him playing centrally in a double pivot which I don’t think we’ve ever seen for NUFC)? Feel bad for him though, I’m sure he’ll be catching abuse from fans back home and hate to see anything knock him down off his perch as all-conquering colossus of the universe.

I want Scalvini and Arda Guler. Reasonable expectations like?

Absolutely idiotic question from a foreigner but I reckon folks will be in a good mood today so it’s a good time to ask, been wondering for years: Why is Castle Leazes called Castle Leazes? Was there once a castle there? It’s just a big patch of grass, no?

So earlier Benitez-era transfers (Schar, Dubravka, Murphy, Lascelles) have already amortized down to zero, is that right? Or do they still have some tiny amount left to amortize due to various contract extensions over the years?

If Odysseas is a 20M keeper and Dubs is keeping him out of the side, Dubs must be worth 30 right? 😉

Al-Shabab are non-PIF I believe? So no FMV shenanigans to deal with? Hope Shabab are keen to break the bank to get in the good graces of Yasir lol…

Can confirm. If you weren’t up at 4am Pacific Standard Time to watch Claudio Caçapa shit his pants against Portsmouth, you haven’t earned a seat at that table.

I mean isn’t this exactly what we did with Forest to arrive at Anderson 35M and Vlachademusandpliers 20M in the other direction?

Cunning plan for the club to escape FFP jail by selling £1 billion of Adidas gear before June 30….

Maybe the real arbitration is over how much Dan owes us for improperly disclosing NUFC proprietary information

That’s exactly what I think too. One last push to get the full amount before June 30 to give us FFP headroom immediately, yeah?

This whole story is hilarious and seems like it can only help us, but the part that is most fun to think about imo is: Who’s fed this to Hope now, and why?

Not to go all “brick by brick to Beamish” here, but wouldn’t it be fairly trivial to relocate all of the Victorian promenade features of Leazes Park west of the lake (walls and stairs, statues, bandstand, maybe even a restored version of the derelict lodge house) down to new parkland on the current footprint of SJP, to enable an Option C to work while enhancing the environment in front of Grade I listed Leazes Terrace, keeping the total parkland area essentially unchanged, while retaining and restoring the key features of Leazes Park, even on a rearranged layout? Not sure if that would fly with English Heritage or other stakeholders but seems a potential win-win for the club and city?

Completely agree with this. Pope’s sometimes gonzo approach to aggressive sweeper keeping was our solution to Rafa’s old “short blanket” problem. Now with Dubs glued to his line, it’s back. Way too much space for our slow, injury-depleted defenders and midfielders to cover. Of all the injuries in this cursed season, Popey’s was the one that wrecked us. 14 goals conceded from 14 PL games with Pope; 23 from 9 with Dubs ? And it’s not like we didn’t have catastrophic injury/suspension problems during Pope’s run of games (Botman, Barnes, Tonali, Willock, both strikers and Big Joe in and out, etc) too. Get well soon Popey ?
