Amazing to hear

Ahh so Arsenal soft as usual. Tippy tappy and no actual goal threat?

Couldn’t watch as I’m working. Did we bot them?

not supposed to be our best current but our best imo actually it’s not I disagree with it now. I made that about a month ago.

Classic Dope

3-1 win away to Leeds for the u21’s https://www.newcastleunited.com/en/news/leeds-united-under-21s-1-newcastle-united-under-21s-3

From Hope about a new analyst Newcastle have been told that an incoming senior analyst must first complete a period of gardening leave at a rival club… and it’s Manchester United and Dan Ashworth making them wait. Luke Dickson informed his Man United bosses that he wanted to quit to take up a key post within Eddie Howe’s first-team set-up earlier this year. But Old Trafford chiefs, with Ashworth as sporting director, told the 28-year-old he could not start his new role on Tyneside until November. This has been met with a sigh by some inside Newcastle, who see the move as a tit-for-tat response to Ashworth’s own attempts to leave St James’ Park in February. He was placed on gardening leave and only started at Man United in June after a compensation package was agreed. We understand that fee was around £3million. Despite the money-saving job cuts being implemented by the new INEOS-led regime, it is said Berwick-raised Dickson will not receive any pay-off because he has chosen to leave for his boyhood club. Even so, after five years at the club as lead academy analyst, he is still being made to see out a contractual period of gardening leave. Ashworth’s exit from Newcastle was acrimonious and Mail Sport revealed earlier this year how the-then sporting director sent an email in February to Omar Berrada - the incoming Man United chief executive - in which he made it clear he wanted to accept an offer of the same role at Old Trafford. However, Ashworth sent a blind copy to his Newcastle email address before apparently realising the error and deleting the evidence. This alerted his employers to his clandestine talks and so began the drawn-out and frosty process of him leaving. It would appear relations have not thawed during the intervening months.

Again, it’s the smaller loud section of their fanbase whose OTT opinions are amplified by the media and the cabal of ex players they’ve got doing the circuit on tv/radio. After every Man U defeat it’s “who’s to blame” on Super Sunday or whatever the show is. No one ever has any answers. The club is in total disarray. This next guy will get some wins, take some defeats but imo won’t be much of an improvement. They’ll still be a streaky little team who because of their finger pointing and going round the houses, amateur ownership, directionless playing staff and a management not able to meet the impossible demands just being “Manchester United”, they’ll fall someway short of challenging for too honours on the regular and being seen as modern equals of City and Liverpool.

It’s mainly the media and a smaller section of their fanbase whose reactionary opinions get amplified by said media. It’s bad with us but 10x worse with them having a rotating cast of ex-players being given a free mic to say what they want before and after every live match.

Wouldn’t think so. Pressure is immense there. Even a couple of defeats, or things not looking better/different that EtH will have the media and some of their fans questioning if it was the right appointment. All of the talk surrounding EtH when he went there was about his “philosophy” etc. He was just as highly rated as Amorim. Ten Hag will probably go away now and be very successful at a less deluded club without the shadows of Ruud and the red nosed dram deer hovering over him. Getting them to be feared as a serious threat again is what all of their fans want. It will be a lot more difficult than getting some wins against the likes of Estoril and Arouca.

He’ll be chewed up and spat out, reputation in tatters within six months. That club is a graveyard for promising careers.

He was shocking. To just totally ignore the blatant foul on Bruno is shocking. It’s a foul, there’s no debate. He IS getting to the ball. He’s not even given a free kick. Then to give Chelsea a pen without barely a second of hesitation to only then be told by his mates that he’s got it totally wrong. Very strange and suspicious performance from him. He lost control.

Arsenal dropping like flies here. Beautiful.

I do think the lack of variety, pace, intensity and guile in our play has massively contributed to the quiet atmosphere and also not least the basically non-existent summer window. I think many people are unsure where our ambitions now lie, and what we’re capable of. When the on field stuff is lacklustre then the off field missteps become magnified. We’re just lost atm. I STILL don’t fully know what PIF’s intentions are for instance.

Many of our home victories have been massively helped by the atmosphere at SJP. Players, coaches and board members have all alluded to this. Atmosphere has been non existent at times this season. Brighton was a perfect example.

I’m not sure I want him gone or not. We’re in limbo at the minute. It’s just so mediocre. Just looks like the Howe train is running out of coal. We can’t be “atmosphere FC” forever.

I’m not arsed about what he HAS DONE, I’m arsed about what he IS DOING. You rest on your laurels in the PL and others will overtake you. Not fully his fault with the board also to blame but howay it’s so fucking stale atm. Same failings every week too.

Not really arsed about Man Utd when Bournemouth, Fulham, Brentford, Forest and Brighton are all above us.

This is the thing. We need to get every single big transfer right otherwise we fall behind years in one transfer window. This is how they’ve stacked the cards against us.

Can Pochettino not be tempted. Seems nailed on with Mitchell here.

I’d like to say he’s taken us as far as he can but I fear it’s more this is as far as we can go as a club because we just won’t be allowed to smash that glass ceiling.

Fuck. This. Ref. Right from the Bruno foul to giving that pen. Go and stack shelves mate.

His pragmatism borders into pessimism sometimes and I really don’t like it.

He said harmony in the squad isn’t what it was before
