Kid Icarus

Howeh Ian

Death, taxes and the endless discussion over Sunderland's fucking attendance figures

The red names and numbers came in partly because everyone hated the back not being striped. Personally think they look absolutely class and hark back to our past and the city's crest.

What a fucking tease

Hmm, I thought with the new names and numbers everyone was going back to straight orientation for 23/24.

Not mine but I would think so

Just seen a photo of a lass on Twitter with the red name and numbers and the CL badge, so you can get them in the shop

Can't customise them with names and numbers or the Champions League patch online

I had this because it was simply too fucking nice to not have But I also had these that I got on Shields road and for a while I thought I was a 'Holston' fan

Still remember playing a football tournament at Blue Flames around '96ish to the backdrop of Tina Turner belting out her songs at Gateshead Stadium. Was absolutely class.

I feel like @JonBez comesock would have mentioned if the back wasn't stripes.

Aye I said this as well. Looks much better

Holy shit, they're selling long sleeved ones as well. I wonder if we will.

So excited to get this for my daughter's birthday with her name on the back like

Not massively keen on the shoulder and cut off bits, but other than that it's great.

The video gives a better look at it

Sela are doing the fanzone outside SJP then

Home shirt will be unveiled at Sam Fender's gig tonight. You heard it here 491st

Graeme Bailey is probably the worst of the know nowt blagging knackers imo. At least Sean Casey's mildly endearing in a Kenny Sr sort of way. Bailey's just been on Loaded Mag. Here are a few of his corkers that I can remember. If PIF want someone like Neymar they'll go for it. Immediately followed by 'that's not the type of squad Eddie Howe's looking to build' when another star player was mentioned. If Newcastle aren't top 5 at Christmas, they'll get rid of Howe. Trippier winning Newcastle player of the Season was 'spectacularly bizarre' Trippier had an awful end of the season, Martinelli apparently took him to the cleaners. To say Bruno wasn't our best player last season is mind boggling. Bruno was only below an 8/10 once this season If you took Trippier out of the team and Bruno out of the team there'd be a 30 points difference between the two teams Nick Pope and Sven Botman were also better than Trippier this season Bruno doesn't get enough credit, but he bigs him up all the time. Newcastle fans need to start realising they have a world class midfielder on their hands ASM isn't as good as Adama Traore. ASM scored less than Chris Wood (implying that's how bad he is obviously ignoring the 5 assists and him starting only 12 games) All of it said with absolute assertion to a podcast and audience of people who watch Newcastle obsessively. Going 'do you really think Trippier was better than Bruno this season? Really?' to Pete who goes to loads of matches. All while Trippier's been voted POTS by fans, is in everyone's PL Team of the season, and is in Opta's Team of the season across the top 5 leagues. Such an obnoxious, clueless toad.

No reason to believe Talbot's reliable yet is there? Haven't seen anything that he's uniquely talked about end up happening

Enough of the teams involved are prestigious enough to make it a more than worthy tournament imo. I'd go as far as saying that certainly in the PL, the teams getting into it are at the level of those who were playing in the Europa and doing well not that long ago. The Europa is undermined by CL drop outs now anyway imo, regardless of whether we benefit from that setup next season. The Europa Conference is better for being a closed shop once teams qualify.
