I’d be more concerned with one of their cloggers being ‘well up for it’ and injuring one of our key players. Hard pass for me. Let them rot.

Almost all football chants are just cheesy remakes of pop songs - it’s just that writer is usually ‘Anon’. At least we can blame you now One of my abiding memories of Feyenoord away in 2002 is repeatedly singing our own bastardised version of ‘Rotterdam’ by the Beautiful South …

Tony Christie isn’t that bad

If we do that, I suspect we'll all temporarily lose our minds. This thread will become 'The Toponeometer' for starters.

Great at football. Shite at charades

Agreed re contract length, though I think the chances of Real Madrid coming a’calling are close to zero at the moment

I think he’s a wee bit cheeky with the contract stuff at present tbh. Again, I thought he played perfectly fine - but it was another 2023 Bruno display. I’m not seeing why he needs a bumper new contract at present.

There might be no NUFC, tbh. It’s why those outside the region who sneer at KK or the ‘Messiah’ narrative, the ‘you never won fuck all’ brigade don’t get it. It wasn’t that we all want to see us lose 4-3 every week. It was that a figure of national significance - and KK was that - knew what this place was and what it could be. They think it was just about football and trophies, missing the point entirely. Hope - in a place devoid of it - is a wonderful thing.

I think that’s it, tbf. I don’t doubt that Howe is tactically more astute and the ultimate modern manager. There’s a good chance we end up with a Howe statue outside the ground, assuming he wins some of those shiny pot things. I love having him at NUFC - he inspires hope via his professionalism and quality. But KK was the biggest name in English football - and the one man who absolutely believed in what the club and city could be. And he made sure that we all believed that too. It went beyond football - a club, city and region that had suffered what seemed to be terminal decline being inspired by the ultimate motivator. I’ve written it before on here, but this is the club that Kevin built. That there isn’t a stand named in his honour is a joke, frankly.

Wasted talent that lad. Wasn’t the only time he looked good.

I reckon he’ll become the first player in history to appeal for a yellow card edit: he was superb again. Of course.

It’s lacking in ‘arrrgh’ ‘ooorhhah’ ‘hahahaha’ tbh

Honestly, I can’t understand why Villa signed him. He was powderpuff every time I saw Leicester last season. Leicester were one of those sides you get every so often where they go down but have some really good players. Tielemans wasn’t one of them.

Yeah, I loved that one. So if (when) we win the league, the top slot will appear empty. Like the BBC refusing to acknowledge ‘Relax’ going No. 1. Mad bastards.

I hopped on there briefly. Lots of waffle about how ‘of course we got beat, they’ve spent billions’. They’ve spent nowt, of course.

Tielemans is absolute drek mind. Looked garbage at Leicester last season - still can’t understand why so many rave about him.

Best bit I saw was Roker Mackem telling his fellow Mackems that too many of them sit and comment on Newcastle threads. Ahem.

We’ve been doped, apparently. Just like Leicester. Also there is no chance that we can finish top four no matter how we look, just like we didn’t three months ago

If this lad is still here in three years’ time it’s because we’ve joined that bracket of club, and we’re elite-level.

You might well be right. It feels like a privilege watching the lad play. I still can’t fathom watching a player this good in B&W.

KK took us from likely relegation to Division Three to 3rd in the PL in two and a half years. It’s still KK until Howe wins something

The lad just looks like Henry MkII every time. He’s going to be a legend here, he really is.

Yeah, it’s been uninspired stuff so far, other than that group game vs China.

We can agree to disagree there. However, Eng vs China, Costa Rica vs Zambia, Holland vs Vietnam, England vs China, Italy vs South Africa, France vs Panama …

Colombia’s. The result of very poor positioning.
