Staveley brokered the Mansour purchase of Man City, Did Samuel question that one?

Me too. I'd much rather see Lee Ryder get his head lobbed off at half time than another crossbar challenge.

"We're Geordies, we're mental, we'll chop off your fucking heads."

"Newcastle are ‘still working’ on a deal to sign Strasbourg star Ibrahima Sissoko, according to The Sun’s Alan Nixon. Nixon reported back in October that we were ‘close to an agreement’ over the 6ft 4′ midfielder, while Sky Sports confirmed we’d held talks, and it seems we are still pursuing a potential deal for the 22-year-old. A fee in the region of £10-£13m was mentioned when reports of our interest first emerged a few months ago, but Nixon’s latest update claims we’re haggling on price and looking to sign the powerhouse at a knock down fee."

Journo's should be all over this, it's the clearest indication yet he's siphoning money off to SD.

Donnay.

I'm sure I'm not imagining this but didn't Alex Hurst publicly proclaim last season was his final match attending year over something Charnley said at the Supporters Trust meeting?

You can't beat a bit of Hully.

Good news. I haven't liked a single kit Puma have done and the quality of their product is horrific. The bad news is we'll end up with another downgrade on supplier and the mood Ashley is in with fans I wouldn't be at all surprised if he used his own stable of shit brands.

When do Sky/BT choose the next raft of televised matches? He's done this to make sure NUFC get their usual share otherwise they'd drop to a Bournemouth/Watford level and not get as many TV games. It'll pay for itself unfortunately. Hopefully Sky make them all Monday night games and the Free Ticket Mags are on night-shift and can't go.

He's pissing his paying customers off and pissing the pick and choose customers off (the one's that went to the Man U and Arsenal matches.) He's also publicly devaluing the brand.

How bad is our current away support? Watching the game last night I was thinking they must all have the brain of a goldfish. "Who's that team we call United" on a loop for 90 minutes. Absolutely horrific.

Geoff? He wasn't a Mc. Just Nulty

He doesn't care what the fans say about him. Oh no. Not bothered at all. 01212-19 Ashley v The Sun https://www.ipso.co.uk/rulings-and-resolution-statements/ruling/?id=01212-19

Just watched the clip with the sound off as I'm at work. I'm no body language expert but he looks like a bloke absolutely desperate for acceptance, the constant smiling when answering questions and the nod at the end of an explanation, he crying out to be loved. He must be massively insecure. I wouldn't be surprised if he's had some sort of media training recently. Politicians use hand gestures to distract you from the absolute bullshit they speak. He's taking it to a new level mind! As for the picking the team people have been commenting on. Isn't he accused of picking cup teams so we go out straight away every year?

Steve McManaman in the commentary "He certainly wouldn't have moved there for the money"

Just remembered another couple. Argentina vs Germany - World Cup Quarter Final in Cape Town. Maradona's inadequacies as a manager shown to the world as the were whopped 4-0. Jonas was on the bench. A few days later Holland vs Uruguay - World Cup Semi Final in Cape Town. Had good seats for this and saw up close how dirty Holland were. They outmuscled Uruguay. Final score 2-3.

From Steve Storey, Head of Safety: "Level 7 will be closed to NUFC fans, but we will house the away fans (number NYK) in the usual location."

When I was a kid I went to a football tournament on the South Coast with the school. We went to the Brighton vs Liverpool match at the Goldstone Ground, it finished 3-3. 10 years ago I saw Barcelona smash Malaga 6-0 at the Nou Camp. Xavi, Messi,Thierry Henry, Eto'o & Dani Alves on the scoresheet. Albert Luque was playing for Malaga. Cracking sausage sarnie at half time.

He's gone from "I can't question the desire. Nobody was not trying" to "I can't forgive a performance where basically you don't put your boots on" in 24 hours https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7369601/Steve-Bruce-slams-Newcastle-flops-defeat-Norwich.html

9th hardest shot ever recorded in football according to the Guardian Amazed Shearer's volley versus Everton isn't in the top 10.

Give yourself a fiver every time you hear Bruce say this. You'll be able to retire young.

"You know, some of the fans don't even believe the accounts. "Where's the money? You've got it somewhere." What are you talking about? How do I fiddle this? It's like asking if I'm on drugs. Don't be bloody idiotic. I don't do drugs. Everything else I might be guilty of. Were you out drinking the other night? More than likely. But you can put any accountant on our books and it's whiter than white. I've felt like challenging the fans on that sometimes. I'll pay and you can have an independent auditor come in and review us. But will you please stop saying these things? I'm guilty of a lot, but not that." I remember thinking at the time it seemed the first sign of weakness from him.

Protest group take up Mike Ashley offer to pay independent auditor to look at Newcastle United books https://www.themag.co.uk/2019/08/protest-group-take-up-mike-ashley-offer-to-pay-independent-auditor-to-look-at-newcastle-united-books/ NUST should have been all over this really but glad someone's taken up the offer.

"They told me they didn’t want to invest in the academy or the training ground — if they like, I can explain the reason why Mike Ashley refused to do that. " I really wish he'd expanded on this rather than leaving it as a threat if they come back with more guff.
