Did really well with the header for the willock goal, clearly searching for a pass rather than a goal. ”Old” Maxi would have headed that on goal, straight into the palms of De Gea.

This is where the Hawkeye system that comes in next year will sort this out, as it has no human interaction, the computer does it all so no corrupt referees drawing lines as they see fit 

Is that the system used in world cup? With the computer rendered players? 

At least not the usual 0-5 humping, but by gawd we have a long way to go before we can challenge the top teams over a season. 

Yeah, time to put things in some perspective, we are punching waaay above our weight, and eventhough results lately have been somewhat frustrating we need to remember where We’re coming from. Anything better than 11th (if I remember correctly) is progress. The squad needs improvement if top 4 should be realistic, it is still really thin. 
 

Howay the lads! 

Have I missed something? Are there any concrete rumours about Gordon from decent sources worthy of this panic? ?

I know - SEVEN years running. Incredible.

He’s always solid for Sweden, but his club career has been pretty miserable since going abroad. Keeps getting back up gigs.

Lovely post however sorry to have to point out but the Brighton game will be cancelled if we get to the Cup Final as it’s the same weekend so you may want to rethink your plans ? 

Haha yeah I know, we haven’t booked any travel yet due to this, only the tickets for the game. ?

Hope to god we make to Wembley now, really want to see us in a final again. And cause plane tickets will be bloody expensive if we still have to book them for 25th feb after the semis ?

Not used to having to check for cup final dates yet. ?

Growing up in Sweden in the 80’s and early 90’s you could only see one game per week on the saturday. It was always different teams and internet wasn’t a thing either of course so it was difficult to get attached to a team. You basically saw the table and result in the paper. 
 

Then sometime in the mid 90’s a company started showing more games as the PL was adapted for Tv audience with more games at different times. That coincided with the Keegan days and the entertainers, and that was it. I was hooked on the fantastic kits, the football, the goals, the beatiful but ragged industrial city. internet became a house hold thing also around 95-96 and I started reading about Super Mac, Jackie Milburn, the ship yards, the Tyne bridge, the blaydon races. 

Even wrote an essay on Newcastle upon Tyne in English class in high school. 
 

Now in my 40’s I have been to Newcastle 3 times, and i’m going again for the Brighton game. I can easily say I support Newcastle United more than any team in Sweden. I think that’s quite common for my generation. *
 

*not NUFC but an English team

When was the last time all three promoted teams stayed up after their 1st season? 

2017/18 season, when Newcastle United, Brighton and Huddersfield all stayed up 

EDIT: what hayden said

Yeah I don't understand how it wasn't?

You’re allowed to use your head, chest and thigh without it being a back pass. 

The one thing about the  hand ball rule and pens that is actually clear, they can’t get right ? Ref should have stood his ground against VAR but they never do. 

Yes, since the keeper is almost always the furthest back, it’s easy to forget that it’s 2 players you need to have between the attacking player and the goal. 

Did you get any explanation on the broadcast you watch? Swedish comms had no clue why it was ruled out? 
 

Absolute joke this. 
 

Really, really difficult, I love them all. Picked Miggy cause of the redemption arc. 

Really strange with Big Jow on the bench, if not injured surely he starts?

Yeah, I've just interpreted the FA's statement as meaning we'll go ahead. "Matches will resume as scheduled."

The Sky clip said ”all matches under FA organization” and then a whole lot of competitions where mentioned, but not PL? I’m still bricking it until officially confirmed by PL or the club. ?

Is the PL not under FA org? Can’t see it mentioned anywhere? 

A decision if this is on must be made today surely? 

When do you guys reckon we will know about next weekend’s games? When is ”in due time”?

It's the way I want it TBF, I couldn't give two fucks about the rest of the league, if we win every game 3-0 for the rest of the season I'll be pissed off it wasn't 4 or 5. 

 

Not one club stood with us during the Ashley years and very few if any media did. Fuck them.

100% this, same with other team’s fans. Not so fun anymore without little old Newcastle, plucky loveable losers with off field drama, non existing competitevness and sportsdirectarena@stjames or whatever that abomination was called. 

Embrace the hate, it means we’ve  rattled them. 
 

Dubs on his way out?

Welling up here, love these players. 
Fantastic result and performance. We really took it to them.

Been as many as you want sometimes. All the way down to 1 per member.

 

I am buying 3 memberships. All accounts tied as close relationship so can get group seating. 

Thanks, we’ll get memberships for both of us to be on the safe side, either way it benefits the club. 

Sorry if  

How many tickets at a time Can you buy as a member, is it one per member and game or how does it work? 

Norway’s been the better side but that pen was a joke.
