Boo to that!

? Circuitous saga?

Interesting to see asking prices quoted—with seeming authority. And to see Harrison rumour resurface.

Hoping to use this gif by the end of the week ?

What no tinterweb? There’s be murder!

He’ll get those snapped in the Premier League (… heels too!)

He’s scored 48 in 85 appearances for them since joining from Almeria (for £20.5m). Must have only been 19-20 years old when he signed for them (22 now). They’re going to be even stronger if the ‘verbal agreement’ for this young Uruguayan pans out.

Newcastle predicted to finish 7th next season: ” 7. Newcastle United (66/1 to win, 15/2 top-four) The biggest jumpers of the lot for obvious reasons. Picked up the fourth most points in the league between February 1 and the final day and improved exponentially under Eddie Howe. Backed to spend big in the summer window as the club look to bring in Champions League-level talent such as Sven Botman and Victor Osimhen.” https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/premier-league-20222023-predicted-table-24203283 I would be delighted with that. What do you reckon?

Same for me really, was always or at least mainly about the strip; the team who were representing me/us. However, when Keegan came as a player (and later, much more so, as a manager) he was my first real NUFC hero. Recall prior to that often pretending to be Rivelino when really young.

Rumour has it that, Dan ‘defo not a family man’ Ashworth abandoned his son at half time, and whisked ‘The Hesitant Young Fool (THYF), off for a cheeky McDonalds (it seems there really is no limit to the dark arts of persuasion we now have at our disposal). There was a, yet to be confirmed, sighting of the THYF on a hired electric scooter trying to keep up with Dan’s brisk burger-hungry walk.

“Va-radi!” Always sounded like Ferrari to my young ears. Perhaps was at times.

Just been reviewing recent links, disregarding the more dubious, and I reckon we are after: 1. a CM (proven and to be a regular starter); 2. a CF (proven regular starter); 3. a versatile CF/wide Forward (early career, occasional starter but with chance for regular place); 4. a wide player/winger (proven regular starter); 5. a goalie (will need to fight for place); 6. a CB (regular starter). Wishful thinking acknowledged.

He was just a good old fashioned (not in a bad way…) sports journalist. He stands in my memory as a reassuring, and trusted voice from the past. Like an ITK uncle, who was actually ITK.

What is going in in here, chaps? homelessness, colourful Tyneside characters, savings and boilers. Has it all gone quiet over in the dark place?

Saw this in yet another speculative article about Botman not being keen: ”AC Milan are also reported to be keen on the 22-year-old Dutch central defender who is apparently better than Liverpool and Netherlands international star Virgil van Dijk.” I mean, come on. On the basis of what? ? The rest of the shite journalism available here: https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/06/10/35m-player-not-convinced-by-newcastle-arsenal-and-tottenham-want-him/

Nice!!

Roger Fernandes if there’s truth in this, then I think it’s a really positive sign of his ‘cohesive’ promise. Focussing on future not only immediate needs and wants. “Portuguese newspaper O Jogo has revealed that Dan Ashworth – the new sporting director at Newcastle United – is now overseeing a possible bid for Braga wonderkid Roger Fernandes. The report claims that we’ve been watching the 16-year-old winger throughout last season and have ‘promised’ to come in with an offer this summer after our recruitment team filed a host of ‘positive reports’.” https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2022/06/10/dan-ashworth-now-overseeing-move-for-portuguese-winger-after-positive-reports-o-jogo/

Dan the Man to Dan No-Worth in 3 hours. Standard… .

We still ‘ordering’ this Croque (..d) Monsieur?

The ranking is relative to their objectives (mostly presumed) so seems fair enough to me.

8:05, 10 June. Signed anyone brand spanking new yet?

Christ! Nooooo

Canny ?

They’ll be sponsoring SAFC. Largest pastie sales per capita in England, apparently.

I’m sure you’ll be warmly welcomed anywhere these days. Would love to hear your take on Trippier’s time with you.
