Kid Icarus

Euro 07 or CBS Sports lads

Sports channels for this one? Not the Newcastle website

Find some solace in something man, you're gonna drive yourself mental.

Good chance Paully's info will also be coming from a player or players tbf.

£34m is a lot like, but I have absolutely no reason not to trust Eddie

Watched a few highlights of him and I like the look of him like. His passing into midfield is very similar to Botman's, proper crisp.

Never mentions that in other situations does he?

Let's hope so. I'm fully in spite Liverpool mode now tbh, hate how they've acted so much that I think I'd even prefer selling him to Man United or Chelsea at this point.

I dunno, I think us desperately trying to sign a replacement, Howe's comments about not being able to make him stay, and most of the reports on it indicate we'll sell him, but I hope you're right. Just doing the owld betting against what I want thing.

5/4 on him going to Liverpool feels like printing money at the moment

Or it's just Luke Edwards either lying or with the worst sources imaginable

Exactly, it's that you wouldn't expect it and that he's intentionally trampled all over some of the best memories our supporters have ever had that make what he's done 100x worse and the disgust towards him all the more extreme and sickening.

Longstaff was/is pretty open with who he tells about what goes on at Newcastle

Really wish this was anyone but Edwards. He's so bad at this point that it's more or less confirmation of the opposite being true.

Don't think I've ever held on to so much loathing of a player and a football club as I do right now and not know where to put it. I wouldn't mind if I saw us standing tall in the face of it all, but I feel like we've done nothing but capitulate and pander to it. One thing's for sure, if the chips on our shoulders could be directly converted into positive energy we'd win everything this season.

I really hope we're willing to hold firm then because it couldn't be any more obvious that Liverpool's next bid is going to be another insult around £120m, followed by all of their media shills insisting it's a fair deal and we're mental not to take it.

In a move to signal that he wants Isak to leave, Eddie Howe has said that the club isn't in a position to make him stay. That's one hypothetical I suppose. Wouldn't be confident that it's the only reason though.

areet. Too much to unpack that's wrong about what I was saying tbh, but cba at this point.

Okay. Well we can all be the judge on that one. If I want hot water I don't turn the cold on then the hot on a little bit more and make do with warm water, I just turn the hot tap on.

I'm doing my newborn shift and have a couple of hours left

Literally told you that my issue is selling to a domestic rival. Being obtuse and strawmanning, Same old OT.

What's confident about suggesting one possible scenario for why in reality Howe has just said we're not in a position to just tell Isak he can't leave? It's one of many potential reasons, but you're going on like you have the answer, it's weird.

Well I care, and it would seem big clubs care as they tend to avoid it as much as possible. Isak being 'the difference' in a title race next season is just strawman nonsense, it's about strengthening a rival for the next 5 or so years when our aim is to beat them, it's not controversial or anything.

I really don't get why you're speaking extremely confidently despite knowing as much as we do about what has and hasn't happened - nothing.

No, the reason we shouldn't accept is because they are a domestic rival, as I just said. Whether they're not a rival next season or whether it would improve us more than it would Liverpool doesn't override us having the option to avoid selling to a domestic rival and instead sell abroad in 12 months, or even if it's just to ensure we're prepared as a club if in 12 months time a domestic team are still the only option. Right now we're ill prepared for it from executive level, all the way through recruitment and into DoF level and the squad itself.
