Not sure if its the right place but this is fantastic.

 

Butt seems fond of his time here despite it not being great in terms of football, shay with some nice stories.

 

Love some football nostalgia. 

 

My favourite bit is that Butt and Shay went for dinner with KK a few months ago. Lovely stuff. Even players like Butt who are MU through and through still have great connections with the club.

 

 

Great watch. Thanks for posting the link.

This is soo noway and is going to get lost on here but it is the season for this type of thing...

 

Can we put together a 12 days of Christmas using Newcastle players/managers? Don't need the number, difficult to get the names and a few words in.

 

I'll start with 2 to get the party started

 

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me... Captain Bruno G.

 

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me.. Wolt a mad e (yes it's contrived but it works!)

Here's my try:

 

On the 12th day of Christmas the Saudis sent to me:

 

twelve Tindall wind-ups, 

eleven Big Joe yellows,

ten Schär long-passes,

nine actually playing,

eight Dan Burn headers,

seven Sandro tackles,

six knees for Botman,

five Murphy memes,

four Nick Pope shanks
Three Gordon pens,
Two jorman giants,
And a crap kneeslide from Bruno G.

Don’t spoil your trip would be my advice.

 

But Peter Dillon’s on 36th street is the place to go if you must.

Oof! What a beauty. You know  what’s depressing (no not that…) I had a season ticket at that time but can’t recall seeing that goal 🤷‍♂️

Just noticed at the end of Jan we’ve got a week of:

 

PSG (a)

Liverpool (a) 

Man City (a)

I think Dyer may have scored one of those goals where he ran past one or two and passed it in.

(Joking of course, can't get 3 pts against City so its 6 points and a semi win or Howe out)

We also have 6 home games in January, including 4 off the trot in 9 days. That cant have happened too often.

I am starting to think we won’t be getting an amazing training/academy facility like the top clubs(& Leicester city) have.
 

With the PIF constantly investing in our old facilities. I think we are staying put at Benton
