    I prefer footballers to be able to contribute on the pitch and give us a chance to win something. Could not give a flying f*ck what they will be worth in a few years time. The only value worth worrying about is what they produce for the team.

    He has been immense since moving to CB and has won us the last two games with his positioning and shot blocking. Should never go to LB where he is exposed for pace but will be a capable sub for Botman.
  3. Control freak wanting a win, any win. It’s like watching a car crash, you can’t take your eyes off it. Except this time we will laugh at the carnage.
  4. I live in the real world. It is a lot safer for my wife and daughter to walk in the streets of Riyadh at night than the sleazy streets of Bondi. All governments are shit. I don't believe that because you can yell at a government that it makes it a better society. I do hope that the exposure of our club helps women's rights in Saudi, and I think over time it will.
  5. This type of trope gets trotted out all the time and it's wrong. The murder and crime rates of Islamic countries compared to 'Western' countries is horrifically stark. What's the measure of human rights? I believe PIF are playing the long game. They are building the foundations off field and are making progress with transfers with an eye to the now and future, whilst staying within the corrupt rules.
  6. HaHa No. I am a travelling nomad, currently in Turkey. I spent last year in Newcastle, and loved game day and going to St James's. Met a mouthy bloke in the Lowlights Tavern in North Shields who lamented that they should have left the convicts in England and all gone to Australia themselves.
  7. https://www.newcastleunited.com/news/latest-news/newcastle-united-announce-post-season-matches-in-australia/ i have been waiting my whole life for the Toon to come to Australia and when they finally do, I won't be there. Fuck Murphy and his laws
  8. passion emerges from us all differently. I prefer to listen, then listen, then listen, then consider and then respond with fury and anger.
  9. yes. the fat bloke in a black and white shirt. those beers look a bit flat, the last time i was there i paid 20 quid for a half pint with a full head. nothing better than celebrating with mates.
  10. It is unbelievable that we are still an outside chance to finish 4th, with all the injuries we were diabolical at the back. This game and over the last few weeks he has got the setup absolutely spot on. It was obvious that we were being exposed at the back to a fast break. (tear your hair out stuff yelling at BDB) That has been corrected and we are now solid at the back and still look dangerous going forward. He is showing what a great manager he is. When things get tough he makes and trains the new system into the team.
  11. Why is the ref in charge of the time keeping? It should have been another couple of minutes at the end. In Aussie rules an independent time keeper is used to keep track with a simple signal by the ref of time on and time off.
  12. I am absolutely fucked off, if we had of taken our chances we would have won. Would much prefer White getting minutes than Dummet. When we are a bare bones squad it is the perfect time to blood youngsters and give them some responsibility in the team. Relying on old hacks and getting the same results is a fucking waste.
  13. I can't understand why we play music that's not from here. "Hey Jude" (Fuck off, it's a barmy army song from Liverpool). Boring as fuck. A cut down version of Hells Bells or Thuderstruck by Brian Johnston would be perfect. Before Local Hero. Thunder Struck or Hells Bells And at the end of the game "We've gotta get out of this place" by the Animals" I am no expert on Music here but celebrate what's ours. I have always loved "Indy" music or those that love to be heard. There is so much dross in the world, we should embrace our own artists.
  14. They didn't have the same FFP constraints.
