    Thoroughly tempted to update based off the Sheffield result. 

     

    Idk how you're resisting the urge tbh, whenever I maintain this sort of shit the second any new data point comes in I have to update it, followed by excitedly staring at it for a bit. Then I undo it and allow myself to relive the moment.

     

    I wish I was joking.

  2. I think £100m is fair tbh - I also don't see anyone paying that right now so unless he returns to form we should be pretty safe. It'll likely be down to our wage structure more than anything, that we had to put it in. i.e. he's accepted a lower amount than he may have wanted and so has this as a back door.

     

    We might just need to get used to this sort of thing.

    This whole thread has basically just become laughing at stuff they’re coming up with :lol:. It’s not like we’re coming up with shite like “I saw a bloke on the train in France with a toon top on and shed a tear of pride, if it was a mackem he’d have probably been throwing his shit at people but the toon lad stopped to administer CPR to a bloke who was dying on the train, proper classy lad”. 

     

    This is always the key difference IMO. They put time and energy into following Newcastle so they can rage about us. We just laugh at their message board.

    Speaking of hidden boards, they claim the only reason their Mega-threads about us go to the secret board is for fear of upsetting advertisers. I don't know enough about website advertising, but is it likely that a thread criticising the owners of their rivals for their undoubted crimes would give advertisers cause for concern? I mean there are plenty of other message boards out there that have threads about us that aren't hidden away. Spurs' Fighting Cock has our thread on the first page of their general football board, so does RAWK. No idea if they're bigger than RTG, I expect they're comparable at least, but they've got advertisers and they don't hide it away.

     

    They also don't merge all Newcastle related threads off the front page. And Frankly, I'm convinced that's the real reason, it's that these 10k post threads dominated their board, were constantly at the top of the front page and it's embarrassing. There's a dozen or so regularly spending all their time posting inane shit about us and the rest of the message board must surely be sick of it?

     

    I genuinely thought they hid it to stop that guy on twitter poking fun at their insane takes.

    The teams we face in the group aren’t any better than we’d face in the PL. The problem is that all three would be top 6 level in our league. 
     

    What was worrying tonight for me was the lack of energy, Dan Burn being exposed and a complete absence of attacking fluidity.

     

    Fair but we'd take 0-0 away against a top 6 side too IMO. Also you need to factor in the sense of occasion somewhat. City were arguably the best team in Europe for several years before they won the CL because the the mental barrier they had to overcome to establish themselves.

     

    But yes, lack of energy is fair and a bit surprising. I get Tripps being tired by the end cos he was playing just the other day. Isak though is a bit of a confusing one. The press has fallen away somewhere in the mould, idk if we're trying to take up a new style or what but there is something to look at there.

  5. I mean, Howe needs to grow into managing at this level too, I'm sure he'd be the first to say the same. But he works so hard, he's so committed that I'm personally prepared for it to take a bit of trial and error, some rough patches here and there, to be able to allow him to get to the point where he's got it all nailed down.

     

    We don't need to be the team that smashes elite clubs around in the CL yet - in fact I almost don't want us to be because it's going to be way more satisfying later having had to grind through the levels and really earn it.

    Aye but being realistic we hardly deserved the clean sheet. A few good saves from Pope and a failure by Milan to take their chances.

     

    None of that will matter come the final table but we need to improve sharpish, we haven’t looked good since the first day of the season.

     

    Fair comment but nonetheless I think we should take positives from our first game back in the big time ;)

  7. Brand went from far left to far right, a good example of the political horseshoe and arguably proves how dangerous it is to be semi literate within politics and to then use that position to take an extreme stance.

     

    See also Glen Greenwald.

     

    Brand sounds like a total cunt, some of the allegations are awful to read, but I'm not sure what this does other than cement him as someone firmly in the Musk/Tate/Poole camp. Which will draw more people to him.

    Dont get mad at me, I wasn't playing and we both saw the match.
    Numbers are right their. 85mil wingers creating zero chances against brentford isn't good enough .

     

    Anyway, its 430 AM, Goodnight 

     

    Gordon did win a penalty mind, and the ball that created the opportunity for said penalty came from a Barnes cross. :lol:

  9. I am just not voting for this shit. I don't care what the consequences are, I am not voting for this Tory inspired fucking bullshit from Labour. I have tried and tried to take one for the team on this but they stand for almost nothing I believe in.

     

    They can stick the red wall up their arse.

    It’s a shame Corbyn was absolutely fucking useless as a leader, because he had some sound ideas. 
    Who’s the next proper left leader-in-waiting, if there is one? 

     

    It'll never happen man, the entire system will burn down anyone who gets anywhere remotely close to power with anything that looks even slightly like a threatening idea to the status quo. Starmer is the best we're going to get, and for my part, the whole lot of them can go hang at this point, I've fully given up.
