Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER

I think that sounds like good management by southgate tbh, showing your BOSS some professional disrespect in most companies isnt generally that well received. -
Newcastle United: Club Sold To PCP - Official
Andrew replied to The Mighty Hog's topic in Newcastle Forum
Sad to say but it is honestly non-news. At this point I feel like you're in the minority on the internet if you haven't had someone threaten to kill you or tell you to kill yourself. Its something that is worth having something done about it, but its presence online isn't remarkable anymore tbh. Its like the tea towels and Saudi flags being pointed out as "Newcastle fans" behaving terribly or whatever, completely bypassing the fact that there has never been a decent sized gathering of people that hasn't had some of those people being sort of stupid in some way and when you choose to lump "Newcastle fans" or whatever together when you point that out you are setting up for nothing but defensiveness and a subsection leaning hard the other way, hence some of our fans actually going as far as waving the flags and defending the Saudi state etc. For all those commenting on the state of the takeover, or the state of us, they know this really and the smart ones choose to ignore it for views, or retweets or clout or whatever and it simply doesn't occur to the stupid tribal ones who actually don't care about Saudi womens rights but heard someone say it and want to beat opposing fans with something out of fairly normal football tribalism. All of its just a load of horseshit, not one bit of coverage that has been in that vein has been remotely interesting or worth anything more than being batted away like Michael Martin did to Nicky Campbell the other day. Bloody hell I've perhaps become a bit cynical -
Bear in mind as well they're dealing with the club in whatever state ashley has left it in. Wouldn't be surprised if they're still cleaning vomit out of fireplaces and finding new places where charnley has chewed up the furniture. Imagine theres whole offices in the place staffed by cardbord cutouts

Sort of, they were the clubs buys rather than his though. Hence he never used most of them and ended up falling out with the squad.

100% agree, playoff final loss and being crap for chelsea is all hes done.

The Entirely Reasonable Potential Transfers Thread
Andrew replied to Ayatollah Hermione's topic in Newcastle Forum
I really liked watching Werner that last season at RBL, expected him to be a real hit at Chelsea. Despite his struggles I'd love him here...but that goes without saying considering hes a class or two above where we've shopped for over a decade -
Newcastle United: Club Sold To PCP - Official
Andrew replied to The Mighty Hog's topic in Newcastle Forum
Im not remotely conflicted if it helps. I love Newcastle United and have done for my whole life and I don't like human rights abuses. There is no conflict to be had just like I have never felt conflicted about loving this club with any of our previous owners, or players or managers knocking about. "What is a club in any case?" -
The Entirely Reasonable Potential Transfers Thread
Andrew replied to Ayatollah Hermione's topic in Newcastle Forum
I feel like Lacazette is a busted flush in the PL at this point, would prefer to get players who have demonstrated in some way that they're on the way up than down. Tarkowski is a good shout and a good player, Lingard proved himself really impressively at West Ham last season, Wijnaldum can get to fuck. -

Mason Mount on the Ballon d'or shotlist. essembee seething. -
Basically, no one knows whats going to happen. No one knew the takeover was actually happening until the day it happened and no one knows exactly where this board are going to place themselves in the market, hence Potter and Howe being in the mix with Conte and Favre.

How much was it in the UK? For the equivalent of £40 over here I still can't believe how good it is tbh, doesn't work with the Kraken cause thats just silly amounts of gain but on either of the the Sheriff channels, especially with my single coil guitars its just great.

I do like brian cox but I wouldnt go that far

Isegrim would be able to offer the most detail I expect but as far as I remember (and a google to refresh) he got into a poor run of results during the last year of his contract and hadn't quite managed to push Bayern enough, didn't get a trophy in his time there so they let him go. That said he was, apparently, their joint most successful coach in the league on a points per game basis over his three years and seemed to leave with a lot of respect intact but I don't quite follow european football as much as I did when I lived in a friendlier timezone so I could be wrong.
-
I love that this is an actual relevant discussion about people who might work for the club very soon If you're going to bring in a younger manager to work with him from Germany who are you looking at? From the british perspective it makes a lot of sense to be looking at Gerrard in the case of the above but...well, I hated Steven Gerrard as a player so fuck that.
-
Rangnick as DoF and either Favre or Conte (who is apparently interested) managing is absolute top tier, stuff dreams are made of. Just the fact that this lot understand that getting Bruce out for the spurs game, even if it means Jones as caretaker, will be great for the atmosphere and the fans in the ground is a huge step up from a few weeks ago.

So I wasn't going to bother with this years installment until this week Pleasantly surprised to find that it will be on Xbox Gamepass from release day (console and PC) so I won't even have to pay for it!
