  1. Club officials, managers and players leak plenty too in exchange for more positive relationships/coverage. See Steve Bruce for one example. Ashley/Charnley with Sky too. Also ‘tactical’ leaks to force other clubs/players hands. We could’ve leaked that we were close to signing another CB if we wanted Lille to make a quicker decision, as one example. But aye, it’s largely a nonsense profession based on anything other than facts. Journalism in general is the same though - basically people forcing their own opinions/agendas on you.
  2. Blank screen means ineligible. You’d see the option to buy one otherwise.
  3. This was before your time mate, well over 15 years ago.
  4. Wouldn’t be against a small percentage of away tickets being balloted to members as well as ST holders. Didn’t we used to do a ballet for ST holders for European away games? Could swear I remember filling in paper forms and sending to the Box Office.
  5. Will be a huge amount of transformation needed from what Ashley left. The backroom departments, negotiating proper contracts etc.
  6. Only going to get worse too. If you don’t have a ST now, the chance of getting one (and also access to away games) is next to none. It’ll be a closed shop for a long time. Not even sure what the answer is to give as many people opportunity as possible.
  7. They’ve done absolutely nothing like the Trust suggested like Goes to show the very little clout they actually have.
  8. 26,000 subscribers is tiny in the online influencer market.
  9. Winger, striker & CM with some deadwood moved on and I’d be very happy.
  10. I was thinking that - Maldini will know a good defender when he sees one. To be fair, Bruce was a fantastic defender and he was still absolutely clueless.
  11. I assume you mean one that’ll get relegated.
  12. Worse thing is I even google’d the spelling and still fucked it up.
  13. I think the past ticket history is a way of trying to stop touts obtaining the few available. You could make a case for any date but the further you go back, the less protection it’d offer.
  14. Is there any actual rumour about Paqueta or is it entirely a fan-made one based on the fact he’s friends with Bruno and came to Newcastle once?
  15. It’ll be forgotten that these £30m+ fees will be spread over multiple years with several clauses. It’s not MA’s NUFC anymore where we are led to believe everything has to be paid upfront so we’re handicapped. If we spend £200m this summer (we won’t, but as an example), it’s probably actually only £100m this year. We can then increase our revenue over time which will support the future clauses plus allowing us to do other business each year. We’ll have actual real sponsors.
  16. Seems to be a solid signing. Good business done so far, it must be said.
  17. Sounds like another bold prediction that we might make other transfers between now and the end of August, as we sit here in June. Weird how these two signings seem to have hoodwinked him though.
  18. Fucking furious with that photo and never wanted him anyway.
  19. GFFN are basically the French version of 360, just pulling together all the stories no matter how tenuous or unlikely.
  20. Was only a month or so ago people were still sprouting this bollocks Greg’s such a nice guy etc. Anyone know if he’s finished work yet?

    He’s a fucking ugly chap mind. If he replaces Dubravka that’ll bring down the sexiness of the starting 11. If we lose or replace Schar, we’ll be fucked.

    Can’t believe some people are moaning about this signing. Some people are never happy.
