Someone must have told Kelly it waa fancy dress and he's gone Kim Jong Un. Classic Kelly.

Only NUFC could go through 14 years of mike fucking Ashley not to mention the late Hall/Shepherd period where the taps were turned off, get a mega rich ownership group who probably aren't shy about investing short term to get us up to scratch before the sponsorship money plus sales keeps us on even keel not needing heavy investment BUT this PSR comes in to stop us. We can't have nice, shiny silver things can we? The squad is desperate for a refresh if we are serious about competing for cups and CL football but our hands are tied. The sales make perfect sense but the price is second half lethargic performances in the short term. It's shit but here we are. Step back and I'd far rather be in this position than the walking dead club we were under fatty as we have professional people brought in to problem solve this and a willingness from them for the club to kick on. It's frustrating though, nae twa doots aboot it as someone once said.

Paul Mitchell:

https://bsky.app/profile/mehdirhasan.bsky.social/post/3lh64mb7lyc2h Just a thought here, but I think Alan might be a little bit dumb

Makem. Joined just to post this. Nee rivalry shite here. RIP Alan Shoulder. Lived the dream we all had of playing for his club. Sad, sad day. A good man, and a life well lived.

You need some players Eddie? hmmm, meet me at the railway line to discuss.

We have been in a league cup semi final 3 times in our history, Eddie's got 2 of those, we've finished 4th, 7th and will be top 7 this season. Mitchell's man or not, Eddie's seat isn't even tepid, never mind hot. The only folks who'll be blaming Eddie are pissy pants fans who've forgotten where we've come from not so very long ago.

Trippier is loads better technically and positionally than Tino but his legs have gone. They’re totally different players. Tino is a great athlete and his pace and energy on the recovery runs get him out of bother - a lot like Kyle Walker in that sense. He’s never going to be the most technical player - definitely lacks a bit of quality in the final third but he’s still young and will improve. I think Trippier will be looked back upon as one of our best right backs of the premier league era, if not the best. He was absolutely class in his first couple of seasons. Shame we got him at the back end of his career but he was such an important signing for so many reasons.

He’s fast becoming Miggy in an attacking sense. Everything grinds to a halt whenever he gets a hold of the ball. If he can’t deliver set pieces anymore then he offers nothing. You can see exactly why Howe barely gives him a sniff these days. He was probably the most important transfer post-takeover because of his leadership on the pitch, and I am sure some of the transfers happened because we had a winner like him on board but he’s finished at this level now IMO. Tino pisses me off Maxi/Miggy style when he forgets he’s an England international, and trips over his own feet but his defensive work more than makes up for it. Especially, since we have Hall as the creative full back anyway.

I mean we absolutely need rid of these players, and we're finally starting to shift them on. Some of you just aren't ready for a how much of a Hot Mitch Summer it's gonna be. Thankfully, I've packed speedos and shades.

Aye look at that Miles Skelly lad trying to take the piss out of Haaland with the celebration. Fits right in with the rest of the pricks, city might be having a bad season but they're streets ahead of arsenal in terms of recent success.

Their profits must have been absolutely hammered yesterday

And what wages are you looking for Lloyd ?

Aye, he should be sold on the basis of that outfit alone

Havertz. Worst miss in his 400 year history.

HOT MITCH SUMMER STARTS RIGHT HERE! WOOOOOOOOOO!

He’s a friend of a friend

Just before I went but that's a shame, single handedly extended to the late 1970s an old NE tradition of a miner coming up from the pit to play for his club. RIP

Lots of faces being eaten by leopards belonging to folks who voted for the leopards will eat your face party.

Lads, we're just gonna have to wait til the end of the summer window to make an assessment of Mitchell. If it transpires that we don't have a list of targets and the bloke has just been brought in to sell sell sell, then I'll hold my hands up at the end of August and admit he's a plank. But if I'm right and we have a list of targets that we're laser focused on, and won't be distracted by "ooo so and so's available, let's just get him in cos we're temporarily short", that's the sort of club we should hope to be. Much rather that than be the sort of club that signz Rashford on loan and pays "a significant proportion" of his £350k a week as some sort of experiment/rehabilitation exercise.

Cos he's not a target.

This, I posted all but same on bluesky earlier this moring: Oh there's funds available I would think, the problem will be the players we want aren't. We'll want players who'll be part of the set up for 4-5+ years, not players for today. We're getting rid of those from the bottom end of the squad who hardly play, it's a risk in short term, but not long term.

Move it to Stone Henge would be best for you, looking at that top of yours.

The actual article says it’s an obligation to buy rather than an option.

fightback?? even havertz has got one man, the useless german prick.

It will be nice when we're not the club scrambling in summer with PSR issues and we can have the upper hand.

I've just ordered a CRATE of Ambre Solaire. I predict shortages in NE postcodes this summer.

Imagine watching Kelly play for the next 4 months and then being legally obliged to pay £20m for him.

Trump explicitly states he will pardon the January 6 "hostages". Vote for Trump. Trump pardon the the January 6 "hostages". Regrets voting for Trump. Thicker than whale spunk. Fuck him.

Oh Christ, what have I done?

1-4 1-2 that's 600 miles and 11 hours worth of unadulterated return trip misery. for the love of dear god almighty dispel any notion of things always happening in 3s, not with that legoheaded cunt involved. isak to put himself in the shop window with a brace... 2-0 oh, and I'm not posting in anything that refers to newcastle as snuggle fucking bugs. fuck off man.

We can all see it now.

Eddie's only been stiffed, if he's not on board with the strategy and internally they are demanding results as if he had all the tools at his disposal. I would reckon that's unlikely the case. They want to win it all consistently, that's what we're building towards, Eddie'll know that.

It's about targets being available. We want good players. Good players aren't made available for sale by their teams in January. The deal Juventus are making is a January transfer deal - get in a warm body. We're not in that game anymore. If our targets aren't available we shouldn't sign anyone at all. Which is what we're doing.

There's only one Matchroom I care about

I might leave when the realisation kicks in that it's not for me.

"I dictate games. I'm the Dictator. Get it?"

Apart from benefitting us massively a West Ham win tomorrow puts them above Man U, looks like this fight for 13th spot between the Manchester reds and Tottenham is going to go right to the wire which will make great viewing for sky sports.

Farken hell cobber

On the game itself, I have a distinct uneasiness about the refereeing. Carabao no doubt would like an all big 6 final (the way the draw was rigged points to that) not to mention a certain club have put a shitload of pressure on referee’s of late (and what seems like forever).

Probably correct. But Miggy, Kelly and Targett wouldn't have fired us to CL. If we were playing those three with any regularity between now and the end of the season, the CL is gone anyway.

Oh fuck. This not good at all. The good juju is all confused and just opened up it's house as an air bnb for bad juju. Our juju is hanging by a fucking thread. If juju was a parrot:

I don’t think he’s anywhere as bad in training as the manager is making out. It’s all a tactic to get him out of the club to improve their PSR position.

Which is the criticism the club got in the Summer. We were all in on Guehi and when it didn't come off we were left with nothing to show for it and no alternatives. If Mbuemo is our target in the Summer, and there's decent cover options available on loan in the mean time, then I don't see the sense in not being in for one of them. If Murphy gets injured on Wednesday then we are into square pegs in round holes territory with Gordon on the right, Joelinton on the left and Willock/Longstaff starting in CM

BUMP!!!! We ready for the second half of this match , and it’s official thread, lads? 5-0 Farken.

Not knowing much about.. well anything really, but especially the building and maintenance of a stadium I'm wondering how long the current site can be viable. Not talking about expansion, but how long could it realistically be maintained to a high standard before things are not able to be fixed?

Biggest problem was the documents case landing in front of a ultra Maga judge delaying justice and bending the law until the election
