I think they're taking an awful long time tbh. They haven't even made a decision yet, never mind set a project in motion. And, like it or not, people see the stadium as indicative of the commitment of PIF to the club, and the continued non-decision doesn't look or feel great.

When he says "staying where I'm at now", I think he means fit and in the team, rather than at Newcastle United btw.

Doesn't sound like he's knocked back talks, but I mean if his agent is doing his job, he's gonna have one eye on Man City unfortunately.

Still tickets available on the website...

Hopkinson's answer when he was asked about the stadium was basically "I don't know" according to this.

Away and shite. These are getting a good, old fashioned, hiding.

Go in hip high on Isak and hope for the best.

It's just bullies masquerading as hard lads basically. As is this business of blowing up these Venezuelan boats whilst licking Putin's boots. Genuinely some of the most pathetic, unsuitable people for the roles they occupy.

He was playing Osula when he was fit wasn't he? After his first performances where he got a couple of goals.

Aye it is. Very sad. Cause of death unknown. Family have asked people not to speculate - he had mental health and drink problems according to the article.

I think if we sell him, we'll buy someone to replace him. My biggest concern for the next couple of transfer windows is Tino fucking off to Man City.

I don't understand why the price would have dropped 10m euros from the summer price.

There's tickets available for tonight right now if anyone wants to snaffle one.

Was watching Shearer talk about this earlier and he was saying they would all likely be granted leave to stay for that game. I think the first game isn't til the 20th or 21st of something.

That's top level behind the scenes work from Ross "Kofi Annan" Wilson, I assume btw. To reach this agreement with DR Congo.

Quite right too. A man's got to have rules.

Micky Jnr African Football Journalist makes it 3, and he's my golden source for African Football.

Hope is saying the same thing now too.

I think we'll fucking batter these personally. Let the shite patter commence!

Just tested Meenzer's snipboard.io and it's a couple of extra clicks/taps to get it on here, but it's easy done.

Yeah it's ridiculous. We have to go to the Tyne Tunnel tip instead. Tbf it's much better cos you can book slots and the Brunswick one is an absolute shitshow with queues down the street every time you turn up, but to just remove the option altogether is absolute nonsense.

And good point, I get turned away from the Brunswick tip now, cos I've got a Wideopen address on my ID. Might change it to North Gosforth next time and see if that works any better.
