I think we only played truly badly once during that entire second half of the season, Arsenal away. We were just staggeringly unlucky.

I don’t know if it’s just me but as somebody too young to have experienced a real terrace like that, they look fucking horrible.

Always thought Sunderland was a good night out.

Doing a talk in in shields the day before the season starts

Imagine being the poor cunt on tinder to match with this needy dickhead.

Christ, they’re such losers

Would be up for this.

They go on sale to members first. Would say you pretty much need to be a member now.

Very pleased for you mate. I used to be in the upper Gallowgate. Strange area, you can only see the lower bowl. Class view though.

Ooooooh

Think WillingtonMag is doing a bit.

I remember the game at QPR when we had secured promotion weeks earlier and it was a party. Don’t think points dipped under fifty, but the people I was next to were some painfully hip Londoners who clearly had no interest in the game. Inexplicable. Because even going with the theory that people use the points of others, it seems unlikely that these two were PM’ing folk on Newcastle online forum for spares. A mystery.

Are they even trying to hide this? I am fully on board with any concerns about our owners from a human rights perspective. But in terms of sporting fairness they seem completely comfortable to just pull the rug away and the wider football world seems faintly indifferent? Am I missing something?

As a teacher, this reward for Gayle’s attitude does begin to feel ominously familiar

No, you’re right there, would be daft to assume that. Either way though, Howe speaking nicely about him does not indicate that he rates him in any meaningful way- which might have been your point in the first place, to be fair

Actually, of all places I watched his debut against us in a bar in Moscow. I had been there before to watch our games against Burnley and Everton in the lockdown season and literally been the only patron in there. It was packed for Ronaldo. Suppose he and Messi do truly transcend club football at this point.

Sad when bigger clubs poach talent like this

Yeah, but has Howe picked him once? Actions speak louder than words.

Whenever conversations like this crop up I’m reminded of Larry David telling his divorce lawyer that, though he does want to look like a good guy, he does not actually want to be a good guy.

Yeah, why on earth would they want him

They got taken over in October. If you have applied for a ticket since you're in.

If it is only 1000 tickets, it almost seems cruel, especially if the queue is randomised. Maybe just ask everybody who wants to apply and is eligible to enter their details and make it a ballot

Yes

The club are saying it's first come, first served. That's not true if they randomise the queue at ten is it?
