Irish Magpie

I assume a fanzone connected to the club would add to the revenue of the club, which we should all want to support? Or am I being naive?

That Looks Awesome That Looks Fucking (trademark Eddie Howe) Awesome

I heard, don't quote me, the real reason Mbappe may well consider the Al Hilal offer is... the chance to play with a fellow compatriot aka St Maxisomethingorother. Might be bullshit, should probably ignore for now until more reliable sources confirm.

End of the day, social media just accelerates the bullshit to our attention. Newspapers used to get it wrong all the time too. Coz they were just making shit up also! The tip passed on from the merest whisper in some smoke filled pub from a guy that used to mow the lawn of the people that lived next door to a minor accountant at the club. Best solution is to ignore everything until the player arrives at the training ground. Then again, this place might be pretty quiet if we all did that.

In response to the WUM Turk

They did, Hecke. I never bothered to investigate what minute he went off but the video shows the challenge that produced the second yellow and therefore red.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MeyQL0pHXs I know friendlies aren't the best measure but it looks like Poch is making a difference already - or did Brighton go backwards? I suspect the former.

Everyone is free to express their opinion, they are also free to not get offended if other posters don't agree with their opinion. It's not difficult to acknowledge or agree that the club do have a lot more data to work with and actually know what the big picture is when making their decisions.

Ah sorry. As far as I know it is free on NUFC.co.uk - I read that somewhere.

It's on Sky in UK, hence club only showing it outside UK area.

Thank you, the above mentioned schedule must be a replay then? I'll check the schedule again, perhaps I can watch it live...

My thoughts also. Edit: Here is the original..

What time is the actual kick-off in Atlanta? Official site list the game as 11:00pm -clearly incorrect as Sky Sports schedule for monday have it on from 9pm to 11pm.

If I remember rightly the Saudi team at the world cup surprised a few with their levels?

Genuinely believe we've just upgraded the first eleven in terms of what the lad brings to overall possession and xG, very direct and swift when the openings arise. I'll likely miss Maxi's flair and trickery, but at the end of the day - workrate counts. (copyright: Eddie Howe)

Good header for the goal.

Getting closer to a quid a minute.... and we'll still buy 'em! "Are you not entertained?" (insert:Russel Crowe gif)

Longstaff loses possession, Gatesheed score.

Jamal Lewis panics in front of goal.

Longstaff still firing shots straight at the keeper. Gatesheed almost score next attack.

I am not a language expert by any means but surely the word 'United' implies a collective? Newcastle Utd are sounds more correct to my ear than Newcastle Utd is. At the bottom of every news article page on the official website it has the slogan "We Are United" for instance. (Of course the word WE preceded Are, so not the best example. ) Not even mentioning American conventions as I wouldn't know.

The thing that always gets me is the posts that claim they are obsessed with us, yet that thread is constantly updated like it means something!

It's on here in Ireland on RTE2 at 19:30 (local time) if you succeed with VPN.

I think it would be a good buy, especially at that price. He has very good close control and knows how to go past people with it. He finds his passes with quicker thinking from a team perspective than our current main left wing main man. Add in a bit of Howe coaching and time he may well go next level. I understand Maxi is a bit of an icon because of how good he looks with the ball at his feet when in the flow and especially at full speed, but so much comes to absolutely nothing as the end result. Genuinely think we could look back on this as an upgrade despite current majority thinking. All that said, that was the Telegraph reported it first. Anyone remember Barella? We got Tonali two weeks later. NPW, Meh!
