Their away support has held up to be fair arguably the noisiest around.

Was thousands down that day we were all over Bramall Lane, game was shit but we still qualified for Europe so everyone in good spirits.

Aye the old pacer train to Seaburn was an experience great days.

Saudis over American ownership everyday for me, couldn’t give a flying fuck about the other stuff. When the rest of the world decides they don’t want PIF’s money I might re-consider my view then.

Great times football will never be the same and glad I was in my younger years to experience it. Nothing like the buzz of an away game back then and wondering if you were going to make it home in one piece.

Be good to see how Bruno and Tonali would work as the midfield 2. We definitely need a better link between midfield and attack, much like Alvarez provides Man City now behind Haaland. Also think Isak would be very dangerous in a floating role.

Good to see Shahar and Sanusi getting a mention. 2023/24: Fortess Little Benton! Newcastle U18s 3 Blackburn Rovers U18s 0 It's now played three won three at home so far this season for United's U18 side, following their latest conquest against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday. A bright start by the black and whites failed to produce a goal, both Joe Brayson and Darren Palmer firing narrowly wide from Leo Shahar's deliveries. Rovers were given the chance to open the scoring on 34 minutes when goalkeeper Aidan Harris impeded Junior Nsango at the cost of a penalty. Nsango got up to take the kick but pinged his effort of the angle of crossbar and post - United's Travis Hernes rattling the goal frame at the other end soon after. Newcastle went ahead two minutes after the restart when Trevan Sanusi touched home Shahar's centre from the right. That lead was in danger just four minutes later when Rovers were awarded another spot kick; Zack Stritch this time stepping up to see his effort blocked by Harris, who was on the bench in Milan on Tuesday. Match referee Samuel Ross gave his third penalty of the afternoon on 56 minutes, Brayson sending Adam Khan the wrong way from 12 yards for 2-0. Graham Carrick's youngsters opened up a three goal lead on the hour mark, thanks to a close range finish - Palmer credited with the last touch by the PL reporter present but colleague Luke Craggs congratulated by his colleagues. Sanusi was then denied a fourth by Khan before going off - a lively display from the home debutant the highlight of an encouraging team performance. Team: Harris, Shahar, Charlton, Munda (Emerson 46), Watts, Craggs, Brayson (Donaldson 58), Hernes, Neave (Bryant 69), Palmer, Sanusi (R.Powell 72). Sub n/u: Harrison.

I’m nee Junior Turner like but here’s a couple of verses from Lindisfarne meet me on the corner. I’ve changed the first line and think the next three could remain, then the possibilities are endless thereafter. Need to adapt more local songs and get rid of this generic shite sang by every club. Meet me on the corner, (Meet me at St James) When the lights are coming on, And I'll be there. I promise I'll be there. Down the empty streets, We'll disappear into the dawn, If you have dreams enough to share. Hey mister dream seller, (Hey Mr Howe) Where have you been. Tell me have you dreams I can see? I came along, just to bring you this song, Can you spare one dream for me?

It’s costing Liverpool 80 million to add 8k extra seats in the Anfield Road End. I would imagine the Gallowgate would be a far heftier cost due to complications of metro and road, but obviously Fenway thought 80 million makes sense for 8k extra seats in a business sense.

I think the truth of the matter is anyone around old enough to compare the Keegan era and now is probably just a bit longer in the tooth and as you get older nothing seems as exciting. These are heady times though and if anything I’m savouring it a bit more this time around, that’s when I can get a fucking ticket this season.

If you have inverted wingers who cut inside I think it’s imperative to have overlapping fullbacks, otherwise it becomes very predictable and easy to defend. I think against Liverpool he went down the outside a couple of times, but needs to guard against constantly cutting inside all the time, especially at home against a well organised defence sitting deep. Ideally we want a fluent front 3 constantly interchanging a bit like Arsenal did with Henry, Bergamp, Wiltord and Pires.

Most gutted i’ve been in a long time, felt like a real kick in the nuts and ruined the rest of the bank holiday.

Sure they said they’re looking at the feasibility of re-developing the East Stand first anyway.

Thats when the real outcry might come, is this the last year for people on deals ?

It’s the sovereign wealth fund for the country of course it’s a key tool, not sure where anyone is deluding themselves on that.

It’s just poorly thought out and overpriced for an area behind the goal. Fair enough have a sports type bar area if you must, but for me you’re trying to attract fans with a little bit of extra cash rather than corporate for an area like that in the ground. As a comparison the Barracks in the Milburn is cheaper and is sold out for the season.

No chance he mixes up the team that much here, it’ll be an unchanged back 4 as he’ll want Burns height at set pieces against these. The changes will be against Man City in the week.

It’s almost like they’ve got nobody in the ticket office that knows what they’re doing, or they do and realise that there’s more money to be made by making level 7 tier 2. Would be interesting to know their thought process on how lower bowl seating is cheaper than inferior seats in level 7 though ?

Touts seem to be in a better position and by not restricting, or having tiered memberships they’ve opened the floodgates. https://twitter.com/J_Ell00/status/1704854383970959531?s=20

A lot of the ultras atmosphere seems very manufactured with megaphones and rarely has any ebb and flow with the actual action, it’s just a constant background noise in the most part. Much prefer a radged up St James, when it’s good it’s good, we just need more good days and 8k standing in the Gallowgate will sort it.

Yes Klinsmann my mistake.

Gullit, MVB and Rijkaard against Matthaus, Voeller and Brehme on Channel 4 was peak Serie A. Must admit preferred Milan in those days because of the Dutch trio.

Maybe Howe thinks it’s physically impossible for us to press at the levels we did last season, after all we’ve got more games and matches seem to last about 100 minutes these days. Liverpool had burn out under Klopp and didn’t look the same team. The biggest thing for me is what we do with possession and our inability currently to create chances. There’s definitely a disconnect between the midfield and front 3, which is why Isak looks out of sorts. There was a run Isak made yesterday and Gordon just got it all wrong, it’s a major problem and will cause issues even against poor sides at home who pack their defence.

Aye thick as pig shit, Hank Williams doesn’t even understand how ticket allocations work and should worry about his own club failing to sell out an away game for the 2nd time already this season. pierrot Striker Today at 3:06 PM #339 I’m looking forward to the game tonight it’s only just up the road, I wasn’t aware until yesterday when the ticket office posted there were 400 seats still available Im so used to not having enough points I don’t usually bother to look.

You’ll be safe as houses just bring some comfy footwear, apparently where going to take your fan March on a 3 hour tour of the city to return the hospitality.
