General NUFC stuff

[JT24]

The order of business being: CEO, sporting director, training ground, stadium makes sense in fairness. 
 

Hopefully movement/announcements on it all before the end of the year.

Had no idea that Botman was named after Rocky's lass.

Our defensive solidity under Howe is probably the most consistent part of our game since he first arrived. Fairly miraculous given that he’s worked with lots of different defensive set ups and players. I know we had a spell when it dipped a bit when Joelinton was out and Tonali was banned but that was nothing to do with tactics and shape, was purely down to not having the players for midfield

November fixtures due out today for anyone needing to make plans.

Comparison of when we have picked-up points (first half of season) over last 5 seasons. So this year we have the same amount after five games as we did in 2022-23 (finished 4th on 71 pts) and 2023-24 (finished 7th on 60pts). No need to fret just yet.

Handy bit of data that. 👌

 

I'm not one of the worriers myself, in fact I don't really form any serious opinions til game week 10 (roughly ¼ of season).  Our next 5 PL games: 

 

Arsenal (Home)

Forest (Home)

Brighton (Away)

Fulham (Home)

West Ham (Away)

 

I'd argue we need 9 points minimum to feel ok about our position, that would give us 15 points by game 10 which matches 2022-23 and last season. Can we win 3 of 5 fixtures listed above? 

 

If we pick up 6 points it'll be a little concerning but regardless of where we stand by game 10, I'm hopeful the return of Wissa & Ramsay will give us a spark to kick-on.

Yep, I’m also confident that we’ll have a stronger than usual second half of the season (fingers crossed re injuries) as our newbies become fully established.

Every now and again someone will ask me, or I'll see a post on reddit or somewhere, about where the away pubs are in Newcastle or where won't let you in with colours. I love the fact we're not like that - the pubs round the station will naturally have more away fans but it's always mixed and you can go to any pub in the city (unless it's the derby) with your shirt on and be fine. Unlike say Villa away where you're segregated and forced into an "away pub".

Tickets for USG are in PDF format and you can’t download to your wallet! What could go wrong?!

[54]

A bid of a quirk of how our fixture and cup draws have fallen, but we are in the middle of a run of games that have  8 home matches in 11, from the Wolves to the Spurs League Cup game.

Thought he’d be older than 32. A quick check confirms his Mrs is still absolutely unreal. What a lad.

The other fans on facebook football groups are going to off it when they find out that we were doing dressing room photos 12 years ago.
