Haven’t checked the records, but Carver, McLaren, Sounness, Bruce? (Really liked Iam/Willy McFaul, and Ardiles—and Charlton actually—but they probably had relatively worse records).

British Isles Continental Europe Americas Rest of World might be a canny charity tournament.

Hard to say, really. Guess it is a time will tell. Which of the ‘most desirables’ are coming to us (whether from North East or beyond).

Now here’s a light the touch-paper topic! Though probs not in this place.

Kind of expecting/hoping for the same ? -
Is this the first time we haven’t had a No. 1?

(Moved this here from Rumours thread). Style of play: – advanced striker – player with good body mass ratio, physical strength, power, stamina, and natural fitness who feels comfortable in contact situations. – capable of playing in several offensive positions, either in the centre as a striker, as a supporting forward, or as a winger – direct and powerful player that always tries to find a vertical option in his game, so he is very capable of pushing his team forward to finishing positions – electric pace and incredible burst of acceleration – killer instinct and great off the ball movement in and around the final third – clinical finisher capable on both feet – possesses powerful mid-range and long-range shooting skills – in addition to his goalscoring ability, he is also a team-player who’s capable of creating chances and assisting goals for his teammates. – above-average decision-making, composure, and flair in the penalty area – very skillful at beating his markers and evading pressure – great sense of positioning while receiving through balls – able to dribble and make quick combinations with his teammates at top speed – good dribbler who’s also prolific when attacking from deep/wing – able to make spectacular and effective solo runs to beat the defensive line – excellent body balance and changes of pace – extremely difficult to knock off the ball thanks to his ability to shield the ball, strength, and close control – strong in 1v1 situations, unpredictable, and very confident of his skills – extremely dangerous on the counter thanks to his electric pace and acceleration – aggressive and hard-working in pressing/when out of possession – all-action and energetic – operates very comfortably with his left weaker foot.

Love how we are out looking for exciting young prospects! Here’s some tinterweb info and blurb re this lad.

I rated Armstrong as a player, though he annoying always seemed to do well against us. Think he was from Birtley (without checking).
-
Well, on the balance of probability, bet you’re doing better than me! ? for a good week. (Which for me would,in more ways than one, would be helped by an Isak hat trick!)
-
Yep, decided on same approach. One transfer means I’ve cobbled together 11 who are playing. Assuming that transfer features (Bruno).

We’ll be two points behind you, all being well. Tracking you down, man! ?

There’s a pic of Bruno training apparently. Take it he is fit to start ? -

Put Bruno back in my fantasy team for this—alongside his mate Paqueta (…it’s not the same!!!). Clean sheet. A goal and two assists for Bruno and a brace for Isak. Thunder bastard header from Botman. Yes please and thank you very much! -

Someone very generously posted the full game, won by Liam O’Brien’s free kick. Which I watched from their Clock Stand—full 90 minutes, I hasten to add.

Not really. We’d all have had this down for a likely three points. But we’ve picked-up points where we may not have. Even a draw here and we’re still in the ‘average zone’ (for a 10th place kind of season). -
Just read through it. Some balanced views. Perhaps there is just a larger percentage of the hard of thinking in the NUFC (or alternative preferred insulting title) thread.
