https://x.com/Glenn_Diesen/status/1750426168841372041?s= When did the Ukraine - Russia war start? I'd prefer not a single life be lost fighting a pointless war on behalf of the evil charachters that hide behind the veil of democracy.

Maybe slow my roll yeah - doubt Amanda and Al-Rumayyan will slow there roll mind. We've all touched the Champions League, maybe too early, and now chasing the dragon. Not qualifying there next season 24/25 will be a problem, not qualifying for 3 seasons would be a disaser. No idea who elite signings we could make... Purely guessing, likely dreaming that 2+2=7 - I think Adidas would like to have a prominent 'star' player with us next season. We'll be a star club for Adidas. Kimmich is on the move by rumours - we've already had talks with Bayern with Tripps - Adidas owns a chunk of Bayern, Kimmich is a Adidas and star German player. Adidas love player branding - see Kroos Madrid, and relauching his boots. As long as we don't finish 9th, and get into Europe - why shouldn't we be in the market for a player like Kimmich? Obviously if he wants top tier, fair play - but no reason we need to lose out on player to likes of Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea etc. if they have shite year and finish 8th. Newcastle in Europe League needs to be a more attractive proposition, than Man U that have just finished 8th and are a 'project'.

Regarding questions, I was taught- 1) there is no such thing as a silly question, you'll end up silly when you don't ask 2) if you already know the answer, don't answer the question. What's a par 1st Innings for England in India? Always think 300+. When Stoakes is teeing at the end I know where in the shit - like when Titus Bramble dribbled into midfield and boomed a shot from 40yards.

Going to ask some stupid questions here... 1) Why can't England just bomb the Indian's with 4x Mark Wood - i.e 85-90+ pace every over! ....of course they are unbeaten if every team bowls sub standard pissarse spin to them ...I get picthes are flat etc. Would India just fuck us off for 600+, or would we spring a suprise? Next stupid question - What does Jonny Bairtow do? Foakes was always the call during the Ashes, tuned in and Jonny gets out. 3) Why can't England's top order just not get out. Obviously sounds simple, but just don't get out ffs. Pissed me off in summer, couldn't understand. Fuck off run-rate, at least 1 stick around through 200 balls.

(I don't think MacAllister is a better player at Liverpool, likewise Caicedo - both talent wise would have been better of sticking at Brighton and de Zerbi... anyway) MacAllister and Kovacic's fees are bargains - we need to elevate ourselves to that 'elite' somehow to be able to get these players. The price Haaland went to Man City, every club who could afford him would pay it - we need to be in amongst these 'elite' clubs hustling and tapping up players behind the scenes. It can't get to the last week of every window and nothings done. Caicedo/Rice/Enzo Fernandez are fools gold. Chelsea and Arsenal got so far they'd never back out. The Dildo brother could have asked for £120M and Arsenal would have paid. Nobody would value Rice at £70M+ for a decent water carrier midfielder - problem is that sort of transfer, combined with FFP has puntcured the transfer market. Clubs that generate revenue like Arsenal can afford £100M+ for a water-carrier midfielder, £50M for Sambi Lokomba etc... We struck gold with Bruno with the fee we paid for him! - buy him now in a post Enzo/Caicedo/Rice market - Lyon are asking at least £100M+ Botman, Bruno, Isak, Tonali, Gordon seem to be the high standard of our squad - to progress and get top 4 again and maintain, we need to recruit players that are even better than mentioned. Easy to say, but our next midfielder we buy should be even better than Bruno/Tonali.

Doesn't strike me that tier - hard to describe.. He seems a bit too maveric and rugged at his age for Man City Saw a bullshit link tale end of the summer window, but here me out - he's the exact profile of player we need to add to this squad. This time last year he was the hottest shit in world football with Napoli winning Seria A - no it's died down, lets go get a player like Kvara. Somebody will sign him for a fair fee - just like the Szob, Maddison, MacAllister deals - peanuts for the quality your getting. We've never seemed to strike or find those deals. We've paid out decent fees for Gordon, Livramento, Isak - all thankfully they've all come good. Tonali is sitting at par due to his circumstances - but still, he was more expensive than what MacAllister, Kovacic went for... For us to really progress and leave clubs behind like, we need to be ahead of deals like Man City are and getting players on the level of Kovacic for a snip for £30M odd. We've paid Chelsea near £30M for Lewis Hall, Man City have got Kovacic for not much more. Man U won't always be spending £50M on deadbeet Van de Beek type sigings. We need to work smarter, and harder!

Any cricket bro's want to predict our chances? Tuned in 3 down - so nothing changed since the summer - Duckett, Pope, Cawley all been touching bollocks.
-
Still dream we sign Kvara 🥰 Never saw Gascoigne or Beardsley play... Not heard anything about this skilful fellow since Napoli won, yet Osimehn is making sure he's Mr. Worldwide. Chelsea seems a done deal. Perfect January window is siging the Georgian bros - this jinky fellow, and the shot stopping hulk from Valenica.

Hell of a turn out from Richard Spencer's Hammersmith Branch!

Can imagine Miggy is really settled up here in the NE with his family, must love the club and playing here, so leaving for Saudi at the relative drop of a hat is probably last thing he'd want. From fans pov, thought it all seemed perfect for us. Clear as day we need to move out players and get funds in to progress. Out of all the squad, Miggy strikes best balance of incoming transfer fee and losing key player - can't shift Hayden/Lewis level garbage, and don't want to lose the Botman/Bruno/Isak/Tripps for £15M levels either. Getting anything north of £20M for Almiron this window could have been decent move. Might have put us in the shit RW option wise, but it's a position we need to improve on and get someone playing there on the level of Gordon/Isak, recoup decent fee we can use for FFP, and come summer on his current form he's going to end up a £10M player.

Highest ranked related to NUFC is Luuk de Jong at 32. Demba Ba is 41 for retired, ahead of Shearer at 54. No Mitro to be seen, but Ian Watkins at 100 -

Allardayce was wrong with Lamine Diatta, but on point with Jardel to Bolton! -
Nobody should ever have to hear about the MLS, but if they have to, it should be from Renton in 100 words. Yes, yes I do! (I likely deleted to previous correctly gramatic foul play)

All the dough, for all the show? I've highlighted all I think worthwhile.

Sergio Ramos kicking off at Sevilla fans... He wanted a fat new contract at Real Madrid but was fucked and walked down a short pier like. Fat contract at PSG later, he's now on verge on relegating his club Sevilla from relegation.
-
I'm sure there has been some intel at a macro level between City Group/UAE officials and Al-Rumayyan/Saudi regarding fragility of the FFP case. I think we are biding our time, and waiting for Man City's lawyers to rip apart FFP from top to bottom.
