Lorenzo Pellegrini? Are we everyone’s clickbait at the mo? “Newcastle United made front page news in Italy today after being linked with AS Roma skipper Lorenzo The Italy international is a man in form this summer after scoring goals8 in his country's UEFA Nations League campaign against Hungary and Germany. And the man who lifted the Europa Conference League trophy with Roma woke up to his name in headlines on Corriere dello Sport.” https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/lorenzo-pellegrini-newcastle-united-roma-24182293

Literally just thinking that . I’ve been frigging obsessed! Guess it’ll only get worse (occasionally better?) from tomorrow.

Hope you have a great time, JimmyR (despite the result… ?). P.S. any chance of all the fans wearing your away kit??

… just deleted the socks from my pre-order. ?

Joking aside, he seems to be taking time to make the best decision for him. Fair play to the lad, it’s a short career and whatever path he takes financial security isn’t going to be a problem for him.

Had my eye on him/been on virtual wish list for a while. Howe-ver, in Eddie we trust.

Anyone else finding themselves even less arsed about England as NUFC feel more like a club to be proud of again?

I fancy one of those green short sleeve jobbies with Castore on. Are they for sale yet?

Thank you (…though I am slightly younger than the original one ?)

Do you know all six verses @TheGuv? I’ve slightly tweaked verse 3, so it makes more sense (“‘Cept those that had their nose’s broke went back owa yhem” — doesn’t work as singer broke his nose and continued on to Blaydon. So “some that had their noses broke went back owa yhem; some to the dispensary, some to Dr Gibbs [not fecking Gibbs’s], and some sort oot the infirmary to mend their broken ribs. Oh! Me lads!…” works better). While I’m on a one, the ‘accepted’ version of Cushy Butterfield is also wrong. Her “bedgoon isn’t lilac,” it should be/was “her bedgoon is her laylock”. An old English term for a padded jacket and in line with piss taking of dirty stockings, hat’s never stright, eyes like two burnt holes in a blanket, etc ). Glad I’ve got that off my chest. More songs ?‍♂️(Sorry @LV)

? ? ?

Alvaro Morata? Does this sound plausible? “As per Gazzetta dello Sport (via Sport Witness), the Magpies have now made ‘initial contact’ over the potential signing of Morata, who is set to return to Atletico Madrid after his loan spell at Juventus ends.” https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/arsenal-transfer-news-morata-juventus-madrid-barcelona/

Bogota bracelet?

***Breaking news*** This fella obviously needs a song to move things along! (‘kin hell the poetic muse is strong tonight!) ? Sven Botman He’s a Swedish Dutchman Laughs like Clark Olofsson And cannot catch his man ? ?

Hairband knew fuck-all when he was here! Oh… might be plausible. Let the controversy continue!

Ryan! RYAN!! Is that you again?

Well, I heard Sven (the oddly named Dutch man…) tried to be there but couldn’t keep up. Worrying.

I, for one, am a tad disappointed ?

I choose to believe, admittedly on the basis of not very much beyond now having engaged owners with deep pockets, that Eddie will get all of what he considers essential improvements in key positions; and there definitely will be range of options for each. But that rather than there being a genuine ceiling on numbers or on £ expenditure, if we can get players on the ‘desirable’ list we will get them as well. It’ll be fascinating and exciting, with the inevitable smattering of frustration and impatience, to find out.

Had a good day at the arcades. Think I’ll buy a football club! ?

Probs just tied in. Won’t be another gambling/loan shark association in future.

Ando: Omniscient or Wizard of Oz . You choose… .

We live in hope.

Delighted. For him and us. Seems very appropriate, given what he did for us, that he is our first summer signing. A competent and competitive club with values. Feels so good.

First Day: Bournemouth (H) Boxing Day: Man City (A) Last Day: Man Utd (H) Europe decider ?
