they’ll be in for a shock when they see how shite it is. 


Shows how bad we are as a club when a manager and staff from a club who’ve came from the very bottom of the Football League will look at our facilities and think it’s a downgrade.

Not easy but try and patch the team up and improve fitness levels. Scrape as many points as we can until January.

 

Then literally have deals lined up. Either announced before or on 1st January. A competent leader at the back. A good left back and right back and a transformative player to come into the midfield. Like a Cabaye. And a forward as if Wilson gets injured we have fuck all there.

Bit rich playing moral arbiter when you write for The Mail no? 

 

Hi All - I'm in Australia, been a big toon fan for years even went to a pre-season friendly at Darlington with the yellow away strips (you have beer in plastic bottles?). I'm married to a Consett lass :)

 

Anyway I completely agree, the UK do trade with the Saudi's; these guys are just in it for the clicks/likes so they can proffer a moralistic high ground.

Was that the "If Sammy scores, we're on the pitch" Darlo friendly where Sammy scored and people did indeed get on the pitch?

Yes! I have pictures ... I'll never forget the anger towards the orange clad stewards. I'll try and work out how to post a photo of it.

Binge watched a lot of interviews and features on Eddie last night. Such a cool guy.. would be amazing if he's a success here. 

Don't care if he plays Shelvey or Hendrick - I'm 1000% behind him. I'm sure he'll get all the support and love from the stands too. Finally we're UNITED!

Do I win the internet with that?

 

Maybe if you explain what it is, you might have a chance. I'm not here for a game of "give us a fucking clue". :lol:

I remember that game well. The one and only time I took my stepson to the match. 

Me too. I took my grandad to that game- we only went to two games together, that one and one at St James’

I’m hearing they are having an all-day session today and the academy staff and scouts are lined up for some face time with Howe and his team in the coming days.

This won't catch on, sounds almost like we're functioning like a proper football club.

(For no particular reason) quotes from a couple of years ago today following us beating Bournemouth, in a match I have absolutely zero recollection of whatsoever:

 

 

Eddie Howe said: 

"We started the game so well. We created a number of chances and we looked in a really good place. We scored a good goal but then we made some uncharacteristic errors and just gave Newcastle the encouragement they needed to get back into the match.

 

"We made some uncharacteristic mistakes with the ball in a time when we were dominating the game and when you give Newcastle transitions with the attacking players that they have, with the pace they have in their team, that is a dangerous thing to do and from that point it just gave them confidence that got the crowd into the game.

 

"I think that is a huge frustration from our perspective because we were dominant for that opening spell of the half and really we should have been looking to try and get that second goal that maybe we needed.

 

"I thought Josh (King) had got a really good chance to score there and unfortunately it goes the wrong side of the post."

On Bournemouth's opening goal:

"I have to give (Assistant Coach) Jason Tindall a lot of credit for the work he does with set plays, the players and the routines we have. 

"We have always prided ourselves on being innovative from those positions and it was really, really well planned but brilliantly executed by the players and a great finish from Harry (Wilson).”
