I don't disagree, I just think if it's your own site you don't say how excellent it is. You leave that for others to say, whether you're openly stating it's your site or whether you're just quietly putting it out there it makes no difference. Don't blow your own trumpet.

 

That's why I didn't think it was his site, because I'd find it very odd if it were and he was saying how great it was.

It's not my site.....

 

...looks like he's trying to monetise it......wonder if he's had much success?

Probably too niche to monetise to any great extent, something like that can only ever be a hobby, there's simply not the market to make a living from it unless it was a small part of something much bigger. Even die-hard Newcastle fans will only need to go there occasionally. But no harm in him trying to sell a few things to keep the server costs at least partly paid, that makes sense.

 

Also it's quite offputting to prevent people highlighting/copy and pasting text. Feels a bit small-time, and likely to dissuade people from using it as a regular resource. I get protecting your work, but almost no site does that, in fact I can think of no other at all. That said, I did copy and paste the quote in a previous post out of sheer pettiness on my part by right-clicking and going to "View page source", and copying from there. Plus people can use Windows features like the Snipping Tool (Possibly the greatest Windows tool!) to just grab any portion of any screen as a picture anyway with about 3 seconds of effort:

so disabling copy and paste is just a dick move and genuinely likely to dissuade me from going there much, it just feels a bit off.

 

But like I've said, it's an otherwise interesting site and is pretty well done overall, and looks very comprehensive. It has potential as a very valuable resource, with a couple of tweaks.

Feel for the guy because he could easily have scored 15 goals this season which would have been a phenomenal return for most wide players never mind Miggy who gets criticised for poor finishing.

A real pity. But thankfully it looks like we've got several others coming on stream now, so they're perfectly timed at least, alongside the international break.

This is a real guttner. Hopefully Murphy can continue his form 

And hopefully Gordon shouldn't be far away. This international  break may help us a bit. Just hoping everyone comes back fit.

Fuck only just seen this. That is absolutely dismal news; gutted for Miggy that he's not getting a full season to reach a really remarkable goals tally. We do have cover but he's definitely going to be missed; he's our top goalscorer and was bailing his teammates out as recently as last weekend.
