Kid Icarus

Batty was definitely much better than Tiote, yeah, and for much longer.

It's a shame that so much of it's unwatchable because of the connection problems they have.

Shearer obviously Woodgate Batty

Still bitter that 'Toon toon toon everybody say wey aye (wey aye)' to The Outhere Brothers didn't work when I tried it as a kid, but here's a 5 minute job. Probably a bit too sensual and cringe tbh, could use some workshopping. Can you hear me calling out your name, Came from Bournemouth and came to save the day. You can keep your Conte Take your Klopp Eddie's mags are goin right to the top Oh I, I wanna be with you Eddie Howe Oh I, I wanna be with you Eddie Howe (I wanna be with you Eddie Howe)

Dubravka Beye Lejeune Coloccini Jose Enrique Tiote Cabaye Ritchie Ben Arfa Carroll Remy Not necessarily the best, Ba should be there instead of Carroll, but definitely my favourite

Very similar to a rough design I did when we were coming up with those alternative Newcastle tops a few years back. I love that. I do think the crest could do with an update tbh, but more towards something subtle like this.

Big fan of the flamboyance of the city crest and also just think it looks the best, so definitely that one for me.

So many passes that you wince at for being dodgy/risky that just comfortably get to another England player

Robbed of 2 goals as well

Dixon: "looks like double figures is on" Matterface: "Well the fans want 10!!

VAR has become 'change the decision', fucking shite.

I wonder if they'd still waste their time on Wraith if they knew that the majority of Newcastle fans would join in taking the piss out of him and are probably more embarrassed about being associated with him than they are being associated with MBS.

Jack Grealish's kink is getting fouled

Lovely stuff, I feel like they're a rarity these days. Remember Gavin Peacock scoring a similar one in 92/93, Mark Hughes proper loved them as well.

Lolbania

Have I ever mentioned how I think Henderson is really good

This is canny spicy

I totally understand why managers are incredibly careful with the jobs they take on tbh, especially early on in their careers. One false move that doesn't work out and you're seen as an irredeemable failure

Of all the obvious names we're being linked with, I think it's only really Jesse Lingard that's near to being a realistic one at the moment.

Aguero was absolutely quality, he just never really wow'd me with the way he played for some reason.

Actively protesting against it.

Walking away is definitely an option but I do think for most it's an unrealistic one. I think most will pick somewhere on the scale between walking away and just outright lauding the owners. Personally I can't feel the excitement over this that I would if more or less anyone else had taken over, but I also can't stop myself from consuming all of it either - the new manager, the training, the potential new signings, the SD signs coming down. It's partly why I'm so convinced that nearly everyone's full of shit, because I was against the takeover and am against the takeover, yet here I am not just resigned to the reality but taking it all in. My more or less worthless promise to myself is that I'm still not going to buy anything from the club or fund it, which is honestly the most futile, pointless, genuinely virtue signal-y thing to excuse my conscience, but if fully walking away isn't an option and protesting it would be like trying to sell garlic in Translyvania, I'm not sure what else anyone feeling that way can do but to support the team, not the regime. I've made this point before, but they're not daft, they knew exactly who they were buying.

There was a lot of it around the original potential takeover in 2020. I can only speak for me, but when it came around again this year I just couldn't be bothered with the anguish of going over the same arguments again when it was so obvious that it would it would be a massive waste of time and energy.

Leaving the club that adores you to go and play with your best mate, only for him to be sold and then having to end your career must sting a bit like.

It sounds like the Trust turned into exactly what everyone on here specifically wanted to avoid.
