Teenager stood next to me on the parade route said to his pal “imagine what it’ll be like if we win the league”

 

I tapped him the shoulder, leant in and whispered in his ear “it’s when, not if, bonny lad”

 

At least I think that’s what I said, but I’d had 7 cowies, 11 cans of Budweiser, a huff off a glue bag and sucked down a creamy tac bucket, so I might be mistaken  

If you can’t treat yourself to an absolute stitcher on parade day then when can you.

BUT..... that was a fucking phenomenal day, man. One until the deathbed. Gone to town so many times over these decades but don't think I'll ever see it in the same way again after today. Getting emotional just typing about it. The fans, players, staff, media guys, Wor Flags, people behind the bars, police, entertainers.... all absolutely superb, so proud of this place.

 

So much love.

This.

I think we all had an idea of what town would be like when we finally won a trophy. Yesterday exceeded it. 
 

Greatest place in the known universe lads. And we live here.

I really like it.

@bobbydazzla you could've got a crate into the town moor today. 

I did wonder how they were going to manage the Town Moor and it turns out they just didn’t. Never got asked for a ticket. Loads of people with cans. 

I am wiped after that.

Tremendous day. There was a lovely vibe around the place. Newcastle at its best. Shame the Town Moor was baltic.

Despite my initial scepticism I’m really looking forward to today now. Probably helps that the bairn is bursting with excitement like.

Maybe it’s because I’m off the pop, but I’m really not that arsed about the lack of alcohol. It’s a few hours on a field. Hardly embarking on the twelve steps.

There was a Twitter thread years ago from an ex-Vice journalist who claimed he’d been a bit of a pest. Nowt illegal.

A bitter, bitter man who sends questionable DMs to female journalists.

Quansah would be an opportunistic move. It doesn’t appear Slot fancies him. If £30m is accurate there’ll be other teams in for him.

The Look North thread on there is a thing of absolute beauty. However bitter and twisted anyone thought they were just take a read of that and you will them realise you weren't even close. They are broken. Done. Finished. There is nothing happening at their own club to even offer them a glimmer of positivity for the future. They either blow promotion this season or become next seasons Southampton.

Standard RTG fare. Work themselves into a lather about a load of perceived slights and then resort to telling each other fairy stories about a time they were relevant.

Even when they need to stay in the Council's good book? 

 

It sounds like a parade is happening, but if it wasn't, I'm not sure what else the club could do? A parade round St James's Park? They can't go closing roads themselves.

I’m not saying be dicks, but just knock it on the head and stick with a bus parade.

I think a lot of people can be unduly critical of the club on matters of stadium expansion, commercial deals etc but this sounds shit.

I appreciate their hands will have been tied by the council who probably want the least hassle possible, but someone at NUFC should’ve been brave enough to put the mockers on this.

They need to do the trophy presentation with the team early doors. People who don’t want to knock around for the rescreening, highlights and the rest can leave and don’t need to stand on the Town Moor for four hours.

Picking nits but would love em to replace the ribbons with some plain ones, sans the daft energy drink advert. I swear I've never even seen a Carabao.

I’ve drank nothing but since Sunday. I’m going to die.

RCB isn’t an area we can take a punt on potential. We need immediate strengthening. Huijsen would be a great signing.

Sir John Hall is a bit like Kanye West. His earlier work was and remains outstanding, but the less said about his recent behaviour the better. 

I’m willing to be that’s the most emotional that man has ever been.

Clubs need to be brands nowadays and the easiest/quickest way to build a brand is to have world class players.
 

PSG is a great example. Hoovering up talent like Neymar, Messi, Mbappe helped them become a massive brand off it. Juve tried similar when they brought Ronaldo in.

However both of those examples also show how hard it is to thread the needle between on pitch and off pitch needs.

Isak is not in that echelon of player yet, but one day soon he will be. Is the short term PSR benefit of selling him going to outweigh the halo effect he’ll have on Newcastle United from a commercial POV?

I doubt it, and the noises from the club suggest they do too.

I can’t remember the match. I remember celebrating the goals, and I can vividly remember the post match celebrations but I’ve completely blanked the match out.

Call it a trauma response.

No parade through the city then?

Why not both?

Anyone else still feel completely unmoored? It’s like everything I ever thought I knew has been proven as a lie. Newcastle United don’t win things.

Crying again watching the highlights ffs
