Dinnington or Ponteland United? Got to stay in the city for me. 

+1. The walkability and public transit is just so good. You don't want nonsense like Brighton.

I wonder if a stadium has ever been built with acoustic engineers consulted and their input given more value than aesthetics.

 

Most modern stadiums remind me of concept cars, where they look great but are actually a pile of shit on the road.

Ruined my weekend with this news. Hopefully he saw the clear white light on his ascent to heaven.

AC Milan must be pig sick of us now. Snared Botman last year, rolled up to take their golden boy this year. 

Revenge for George Weah, though I don't remember if he was just the Paqueta of the time or if the links were real.

In a thread about people wearing footy tops in public. Outstanding.

 

 

Seagulls aren't enough, they are back out looking for dolphins?

Awful that Bernardo is right in his prime and could pick anywhere in the world. 

I don't think I'd even like it if he hates his first month there and moves to us end of August on loan.

Who's ring is he keeping around his neck ?

Too big for a pigeon's.

I had Talksport on in the car on my way to work yesterday (I know, but I'd rather listen to football shite than baseball or US politics on the radio here), but Agbonlahor was asked what the biggest thing he'd ever got wrong as a pundit, and he admitted that it was saying someone would rather play for Brentford for half the money than play for us.

Jesus give up on pushing Jeff Hendrick on to any team, let-alone Sunderland. He's absolutely shite and would be lucky to even get on Sunderland's bench

Even PIF aren't interested in getting him into the Saudi League on a free just to clear the wages off our books.

Release clause works both ways though doesn’t it? If nobody is willing to pay it, then he’s not worth the money. Some may be willing to pay under that. No one is going to go over that.

I wonder if the Price of Football uni course teaches the ManU masterclass on this subject.

My "We are Newcastle" surfer mini just arrived today, and the quality is superb! Nice thick material and the names are easy to read. Unfortunately, they don't line up with https://worflags.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/WAN-Surfer-Find-Your-Name.pdf or the individual images so I've not been able to locate our names on the actual flag! I checked a few start of sections, and they are off. For example, under the inner point of the star under the A of Newcastle there is "Bullock" on the PDF/graphic but the flag says "White".

 

Is there an updated PDF?

Found them. The PDF shows them in the black section to the left of the bottom left point of the star. On the flag they are around the same line but moved about 6" to the right to straddle both the black and white section of the bottom left point of the star. Don't know how I couldn't find them before

What an odd photo to use

Nips the transfer to us story in the bud.

Regarding Inter's due loan, for FFP can PIF just front the entire 50m right now but we then book it as 10m x 5 years? The Ashley model could prove useful if yes.

With the Internet you no longer need one unlike back in the day when trying to buy a Club International.

This thread has me reminiscing about Stella Pizza that was in the alley behind Worswick Street bus station.

Twitter getting their ad relevance spot on with an avoid mosquito bites product right next to this tweet.

You can also rewatch that clip to help collect the sample you'll need in a week or so for them to check it worked

Leeds sold to 49ers Enterprises.

Was Elland Road included? The BBC piece doesn't explicitly state it was, but does say the ground needs structural work. There was talk the owner had used the ground as collateral for the Sampdoria purchase, but maybe he has swapped it all for hard $.

If not, then it really shows what a bargain we were. This 56% deal cost £170m on top of whatever they paid for the earlier 44%. He only paid £45m for the lot  six years ago. Likes of Bates (and Ashley) must be fuming. 

I can imagine the commentary now:

Messi is waiting for the ball. Messi is still waiting for the ball. Messi has the ball and that is a world class restart after Miami go two zero down.

Balague saying Messi is heading to Inter Miami.

Crap team, worse stadium, even worse fans that can't sell out the 18k seater stadium and the league tripping over themselves to help out one team who were already gifted existence (or at least Beckham's share from his deal, which didn't help average attendances at all).

"I always wanted to be Julio Geordio when I grew up"

Technically they didn't need it in the end, but scoring the equalizer against Man City to get a point was huge at the time.
