They probably couldn't afford the licences?

Expecting this forum to change it's ways is a naan-starter to say the least.

I was looking for support on that post!! 🫵🏻 I actually thought the sub continent related slurry fest had abated but obviously I’d underestimated this forum’s appetite for days of punnage, it’s on me I should’ve known better

I went on there a while back and realised that most other clubs/ associations had withdrawn licensing consent. Shame, they did some great stuff along the way

Aye, Wai Tu Hii had his torch on when Fist let him go. Self Reported ✅

Women can understand excel charts as well, you fucking misogynist.

Think that's the first home shirt I passed on at the time because of that patch. it's ok apart from that and we've had far worse.

Just noticed that villa and Chelsea play man u and spurs before their EL final then villa play man u after it so that's six points for villa and three for Chelsea. Must win for us v the cockney blue cheats.

Bring this back! Actually on second thoughts…

Did you bamboozle Mrs Fish with multiple excel charts illustrating when she was most likely to conceive?

I'm a happily married father of two. I have put aside my schweffing sword.

They used to have a shop on shakespeare street near the adelphi before moving to a unit in the team valley.

xS, Shirley? both in terms of size and as expected stiffies.

FYP

That's a shame. They definitely were the first to go into that market but clubs themselves and more recently, mass production online stores from the far east have consumed the market space. They were based in the North East IIRC so I suppose when the NUFC deal was lost (presumably another Ashley masterpiece), the writing was on the wall.

I (and many of you on here) grew up in a time when historical information about football clubs was less prevalent. NUFC in particular were lucky that in Paul Joannou, they had someone dedicated to chronicling the club's history for upcoming generations to learn. Can't remember if he was behind it, but my parents bought be the Newcastle United Souvenir Album which was released around the time of the 1984 promotion season. It covered the period from the 50s cup wins right up to the 83/84 promotion campaign and definitely gave you an insight into the 50s in particular. That's where I first heard the name Robledo and then spent my team reading numerous books by Joannou to flesh that knowledge out further. These days it's of course readily available on the internet, but there's so much info available, people are less likely to absorb the detail.

PL is the only one trying to have a normal on topic conversation and gets called out like this anyway

As much as you may feel younger you definitely aren't, so don't go embarrassing yourself with your xG of 0.0.

Looks like toffs has bitten the bullet. Went on to their website and there's a banner saying 'Stock Clearance up to 75% Off everything and FREE UK Shipping on orders over £50' but when you click on any team it's just blank. (They lost the NUFC deal a few years ago).

Buuuut you are now King of England.

I know. Point is you knew who it was and any commentator worth his salt would too. I don't know, the square patches were player issue only and there lies the problem because kids will want names and numbers on their shirts as well so an inbuilt square would be a better option but if you want a shirt you either get a number or walk around with a blank patch on your back, (loads do and I just don't get why they would?)

I don't think it's just a UEFA thing. It's because every single match is televised these days though, so the white background for a number makes sense for the millions watching worldwide, which trumps the 50 odd thousand watching in the ground.

Paul Goddard had a white square under his number 9 tbf (2nd season)

My PE teacher told me about Robledo when I was at school. He was from Wallsend and I was the only Newcastle fan in the school. Not a surprise unlike now where loads of bairns support different teams. But he told me about him and when I asked my uncle about him one weekend when I was in Newcastle, you should have seen my uncles face. He looked chuffed I had asked about him.
