Played a pick-up game against him and he megged me and then flicked it over my head and balanced it on the top of his foot. I fouled him shortly after Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Have never heard of this website where you can effectively hire an ex pro to play five a side with you https://www.playwithalegend.com/newcastle Some interesting names on our 'legends' bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) Would love to do that but just ask everyone if it's alright for my mate to play with us. Edited March 29, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he'd take Le Piss! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Which of our former players would be best to play a 5 a side game with? Beardsley and HBA seem the obvious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 HBA would be amazing to play with if you only wanted to observe brilliance. If you wanted to touch the ball it would be a sobering experience either as a member of his team or the opposition team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Beardsley would be the perfect mix of jaw-dropping individual brilliance and involving his team mates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Given, Coloccinni, Beardsley, Ben Arfa, Me (Shearer to sub in) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Shearer would be next level. All the decent 5-a-side strikers hold the ball up well, bully the defender and smash the ball past the keeper as hard as they can. The game was made for Shearer. Robert would be a laugh to play with as well, scoring screamers from his own half with every touch. ASM would take the piss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Isak would be great. Gangly legged horn of Africa lads are elite at 5-a-side anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 So Sky have lost the Euro qualifiers. Possibly losing the EFL. And still they're trying to hike my subscription price. They can take a hike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) I fully expect Apple to make a similar bid as well. I can’t see DAZN having the money to actually compete with the likes of Apple and even Amazon. They have apparently been in financial trouble lately, and losing subscribers. I do believe that the EFL will get a deal where every game is shown, 3pm or not. This will force the Premier League to follow up a year later when their rights go to auction. Sky have lost the UEFA qualifiers, and in recent years lost the UEFA club competitions, as well as a Premier League package. Even the MLS has left them. Their time is limited to be honest.

54 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 It's going to be laughs when fans of Football League clubs can watch all their clubs games a season, but the more unfashionable teams in the Premier League only get 10 games a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Premier League rights come up for auction next year. If the EFL sells the 3pm KO’s (they will), then the Premier League will follow up. The current cycle of broadcast rights never even went to auction, they just extended the existing deal. I could see the Premier League scrambling to offer the existing broadcast holders all the games between them for the final year of the deal, similar to what they had to do a couple of years ago.

The Premier League rights auction is this year and I doubt very much all games will be on the table yet The Premier League will wait to see what happens with the EFL and 3pm blackouts and then maybe follow suit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
