Kid Icarus

Repeating myself like, but he was my dream signing when the takeover happened. It would be amazing to see him back to his best, but it's hard to imagine he can after his injury problems.

Now imagine if he was white?

Slobs vs snobs Saying nothing vs talking pretentious shit Having a laugh vs thinking what you're saying is important It would be nice to get some middle ground and tbf I think Cox is really exaggerating. Micah Richards and his put on craic gets on my nerves and the fanTV style has crept in a bit but it's hardly as a replacement for analysis like, it's alongside it.

He was the one that wanted to give O'Neill manager of the year over Howe because he'd got Bournemouth to 'mid table' - they finished 15th. There's very much a grift circuit that him and all of that group are on like. We look down on TalkSport for deliberately getting disagreements going but they're no better really. The only one who genuinely knows his stuff in that crowd is JLA

I think I'm the other way. I blamed Given, Carroll, Enrique etc at the time but with time understood what Ashley's like.

Thought this was pretty interesting when Maddison and Szoboszlai's profiles were compared on Sofascore on Loaded Mag last night. Nigh on identical.

Just give Bruno 48 hours

A bit of a cliche because they're all Milan legends but his gait on the ball does remind me of Pirlo, Rui Costa and Kaka at times like, but within the mould of a more tenacious DM.

Would be really interesting to know exactly where Tonali was on the list alongside Veiga, Szoz, Maddison etc

I think we only have one starting player below 80 on FIFA if this goes through. Crazy.

For all the joking on, it's shit from your perspectives that this is happening (if it is) and we can definitely relate from our years under Ashley. Hope you stick around

Something so fucking weird about us potentially nicking an AC Milan player, there being talk of their fans rioting if it happens but not being blown away by the actual player like.

It wasn't that long ago that we were on the other side of the fence, so it's easy to empathise like. It happening to a club like AC Milan isn't good at all, as much as it benefits us. I think we can all collectively agree that football went to the dogs of capitalism a long time ago as well, it's not like this is anything new, Newcastle is just the next, possibly penultimate or final incarnation of something we've all hated for like 20 years now.

The badge

Yeah that makes sense. It's Barella that's throwing me a bit in all of this I think. Total guesswork, but I'd think Bruno stays deep with Barella alongside him and plays RCM with Tonali playing deep.

It's quite hard trying to work out whether the players we're going for are as an alternative to another or in addition to another. Like are we going for Tonali and playing a different way as an alternative to going for Barella or for Maddison, or are we going for them in addition to each other?

Sandro oh Sandro Tonali He's good for my belly

Bit of a step down from Barella like but then I suppose most midfielders are.

Just remembered when my mam was seeing this bloke actually and my mam mentioned to him while I was there that my lass was vegan and he went "you should give her a slap", which obviously didn't go down well. So he asked why, I said because she loves animals, he said he loves animals, I just went "love them enough to not eat them?" and he just went quiet. Anyway, long story short, it turns out that he was none other than Newcastle United footballer Harrison Ashby.

My lass is veggie and was vegan for a while like and I've never seen anything like it from some people over the last 8 years like. For every irritating vegan who insists upon themselves there must be 10 absolute weirdos who can't handle it. Some are genuinely curious like, but others take her own decision as an automatic judgement on their own and get defensive, others try to clamp her with braindead points or get pedantic over vegan food being named after meat, others need reminding what it is after trying to offer her eggs or even fish for the 100th time. Then others seem to make it a point of pride that they're unaffected by it and won't be swayed from coincidentally talking about meat or telling a story that ends with an animal being killed when they're in our company. It's really fucking weird like, I would have thought it was an exaggeration if I hadn't witnessed it all first hand.

Tbf, does anyone in here actually have a clue what they're talking about?

Would go along with all of that but upgrade Diame and I don't think Hanley flopped, he was very good in that promotion season.

My sweet boy Joselu, and Almiron, Murphy, Manquillo.
