Can we just all agree not to talk about one particular other game

Apparently they're dropping Onana for this in favour of Bayindir. Think we need to race ahead and then start subbing people off at 60 mins really, that Palace game is very awkwardly placed.

This is pathetic from the Americans tbh

It's going to have to be Chelsea. We can beat them at home anyway and frankly I'd prefer to see them miss out than anyone else we're in the mix with.

I doubt he has enough principle for it to be deeply held. To me he seems like a political tryhard. He's nailed his cock to the mast of team starmer and will come out backing or defending anything that the party tries to push, and then going one further to demonstrate how loyal he is. That's how he comes across to me anyway.

Just in case anyone thought the Guardian let us off too lightly over winning the cup despite being owned by Saudi... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/apr/12/tainted-victory-newcastles-saudi-influence-still-divisive-after-success Even references Pearson ffs, as if he's now some sort of club ambassador.

I'm curious what @strawb makes of those two errors from Onana. I feel like the media is trying to spin a bit of a story out of them because of the Matic thing. The first one I think he was thrown off by thinking someone was about to get a head on it - the second one I kinda think he was let down by the defense a bit even if he did spill it, none of them reacted. I'm no expert though.

You evil genius.

I still think we need a bit more time for this to sink in - for us this has been big news but if you're a standard yank it's probably not even registered particularly. It's only been about a week.

You guys still labouring under the delusion that I was kidding about that 'check every 2 months' thing

Yeah looks rough... a third of the workforce?

This is genuinely pretty accurate

Wyki in turn reported you for reporting him All of which confirms to me that checking the thing once every couple of months is more than enough.

Just came across this article in the Guardian about Robledo: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/apr/08/george-robledo-newcastle-great-scoring-record-overseas Apparently still holds the record for the most goals scored in a top flight season in England for a foreign born player. Ahead of even Henry and Salah.

I mean they have supposedly communicated it to him but yes, maybe.

We'll get back to you in the standard 6-8 weeks

https://transsafety.network/posts/chili-sauce-in-mascara-wes-streeting-complicity-conversion-abuse/ Streeting seems to have aligned himself with trans conversion therapy groups who advocate for destroying the clothes of your kid if they're not aligned with their birth gender, and putting extra hot chilli sauce in their mascara. My opinion of Streeting is already on the floor in a general sense but I do admire his consistency.

Remind me?

Glad it wasn't more than 3-1 tbh, Villa will have to go for it in the home leg and should be nicely shattered hopefully. At the very least it should be par for what Palace costs us.

Nicely done PSG.

They said the rules had changed since but McCoist said that the one against us scarred him permanently and he still hadn't recovered from it

McCoist is alright tbh Remembering that handball in our game.

Villa look terrified. I mean they're hanging on but if PSG don't get another couple here Villa have done well IMO.

Taking Cash off has cost them already tbh.

What a fucking goal.
