Been to the cricket last week and fancies a bit of West Indies away doesn't he, cunt

Battle of wits and a half that

So the Reubens are going to own stakes in two PL clubs and Gordon's off to Palace fucking hell

Was that the Kiraly who used to play for Palace? Always wore big baggy joggers aswell didn't he and not even proper trackies

Probably a good opportunity this season for them to work together when we're playing once a week, then when we're back in Europe for 25/26 we'll see the impact in terms of how the manager rotates, although no doubt he learnt a lot himself last season on that front too. *Assuming that's the depth his role will go to, which Eales seemed to confirm.

See above, marra

Bloke's a fucking idiot, when he was on last night about Southgate is the only man for the job I thought he was worried about Klopp being interested and the "scouse not English" stuff like someone mentioned above or on the England thread.

99% sure he doesn't go. And if the 1% happens, there are very good managers/coaches available who I'd imagine would want to come here, and we have competent people to go and hire one of them. Life is good.

Not spent £12 to register a company so they can somehow sponsor themselves for a billion quid a year yet or what? Fucking grifting cunts

The big question is will Eddie's black training top go on sale or is it special "gaffer only" attire?

Aye, "the interview" will be a potentially interesting footnote in the inevitable biography of Southgate's reign that we'll see in a year or two

Straight up negligence from Southgate.

I didn't get anything about Pope but did get a picture of Pickford mocked up like a Cabinet appointment with "FTM" in the message. Luckily someone else identified he was arsehole drunk and told him to stop drinking and have a lie down before I could call him a sad cunt.

Paul Mitchell said: "It's with immense pride that I accept the responsibility of being Newcastle United's new sporting director. "I've seen the recent growth and ambition of the club. This, plus the amazing fan base, made the decision to join an easy one. "I can’t wait to get started and help continue the organisation's growth and long-term competitiveness in all areas of elite football performance." It's a small/daft thing - and someone else more than likely wrote the quote for him to sign off - but I always love it when sports people (or people in general actually) use words like responsibility rather than opportunity in things like this. I remember when Harrington won his second Open on the bounce he spoke about "taking responsibility to win," always stuck with me. Makes this guy come across as a serious bloke who is going to take us where we want to go, rather than "try" to do it.

No, level 7 was more or less totally empty, was about 10 Fiorentina supporters up there one day from memory, and think the upper gallowgate was fairly sparse too, think we had 36k or so both days.

It's showing in my ticketing account, I'm a member of the Business Club so every game it assigns a hospitality ticket by default - think it's essentially a reservation in case I want to buy one but I'll be sticking to general for this I reckon, didn't manage to get a home game in the corner last season so a friendly will have to do!

Girona on the Friday night

Club has just tweeted the letters coming down (have lost the embed tweet explainer)

Nothing actually on sale yet but hospitality sales page is currently showing Friday night 1930 and Saturday afternoon 1600 KO's for the Sela Cup - or "The Sela Weekender" as they're calling it. Presumably that will change unless they're doing a different format this year
