Was in Ridley place in town in the 70's. Virgin records had a tiny shop next door. When Spudulike shut the Ridley Place shop it was taken over by the record shop Listen Ear.

UK has recorded a surge of 42,076 new Covid infections and 121 deaths on Friday. The latest Covid figures have been released as new virus strain Mu has landed in the UK and has been designated a variant of interest by WHO.

So Ashley's paying out more in wages than he's taking in. I doubt that very much

Its reedicu, redick, its pathetic.

All tied to the club for years https://www.nufc.com/2021-22html/squad.html

£44 million for wages still leaves a massive profit

"Big Jow" top earner on 86.5k a week = 4.5 million a year fucking hell man https://www.spotrac.com/epl/newcastle-united-fc/payroll/

The Choudhury thing was never happening as... Newcastle looked to quash any lingering speculation as early as 10.50am on deadline day by briefing that the club's business was done.

On signing Willock... Bruce said: “We went above and beyond. It has been difficult for clubs in terms of money and fair play to Lee. We got there. Our patience and doggedness was key... we never left it alone. Difficult with having made roughly 140 million since the end of last season.

9.6 million off the wage bill with outgoing players. 40% off the sell on fee for Armstrong (6 million) Then 126 million prize money for last seasons 13th place finish in the Premiership.Roughly 141 million, minus 25 million for Willock. Gives a profit of just over 115 million.

With players out of the club this window, I read the other day that its knocked 200k a week off the wage bill, about 9.6 million a year. Add that to the Armstrong sell on clause money about 6 million. Add that to the Premiership prize money of 126 million for finishing 13th. Added together its just over 140 million, minus 25 for Willock. Thats a tidy profit of over 115 million for Ashley. Its fucking sickening the neglect of failing to strengthen the team while making a massive profit again.

Main feature in the Chronicle today, it opens with... What to expect today? It truth, from a Newcastle perspective, very little.

Hundreds of people test positive for COVID-19 after attending Bloodstock festival The festival took place between 11 and 15 August in Derbyshire. Public health officials confirmed about 500 people from across the country had "attended the festival prior to testing positive".

Ashley bought Willock on H.P. Steve Bruce... "The budget wasn’t enough to buy Joe Willock but we managed to break all our transfer rules to buy him" I believe we paid for it in instalments, which isn’t the [Mike Ashley NUFC] policy"

Mrs T just takes me out for a run in the car a couple of times a week. We do click & collect shopping & try & be careful. We're both double jabbed & try to avoid the knacker that coughed & spluttered over Renton.

This was from a couple of days ago. COVID-19: Almost 5,000 coronavirus cases investigated after Cornwall music and surf festival The COVID-19 outbreak linked to the Boardmasters event comes as Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly recorded the second highest rate of coronavirus cases in England in the week to 19 August. I thought at these large outdoor events you had to prove you were either fully vaccinated or had a negative test ? Has anyone been to a match or outdoor music event, what was it like getting in were any checks made ?

I hope your right & we don't see those figures. But music festivals, football stadiums & the return to school will inevitably drive these numbers up. Also remember the lag they always talk about. We've only had the stadiums back open a couple of weeks. I think you've got confused with hospital admissions as the highest daily infection figure was back in January at 68k+

Latest figures 2 days ago showed 6,874 admissions to hospital with Covid 19. With 957 in ventilation beds. If we get a significant surge as is predicted then I'd imagine these numbers will go up significantly

Your right it shouldn't happen, but given Boris's track record over this we should expect the unexpected

Definitely, new infections are 30+ times higher than they were 12 months ago. Thats before the unvaccinated kids return back to school in about 10 days. I'm expecting a Lockdown for the October half term.

Music festivals and return of schools will lead to 'significant' COVID-19 wave, expert says

Steve Bruce the clubs 13th choice head coach... "What pleased me more was the performance of the team, I thought we were excellent throughout"
