    Tripps was never captain, he was vice captain to Lascelles, he always gave the armband to Jamaal if on the pitch at the same time.

     

    I think this “in the huff” stuff is overblown tbh.

     

    Feels to me that his personal life is upside down and he is escaping.

  2. Just now, Alex said:

    A lad I spoke to yesterday reckons the stadium move is to Leazes Park. I mean he works for the club but he has a part time role as a scout so I’m not sure how reliable the info is. He’s not a bullshitter and said it’s the rumours he’s heard going around the place, as opposed to having heard anything directly from someone who would actually know 

     

    Makes sense to me, minimise disruption and retain the city centre feel.  I know the romantic in many of us would prefer to stay where it is, but I think we'd be left too far behind and making many compromises.  I just hope they take acoustics in to account and need it improved over the current design.

  3. Reflective. 

    Stood by while various NHS teams rushed to the aid of a 30 something, gave chest compressions, oxygen and defrib for around 45 mins until critical care team arrived.  Eventually they stabilised her and whisked her away in the ambulance.  Standing there with nothing to do but recognise the fragility and value of life and absolute pointlessness of various daily bickering you read online.  When you consider that value, not sure how anyone can begrudge NHS staff improved pay and conditions.  

    Yes its sat in my mind all day so far.  Just hope she pulls through.

    Now that I've made the mood plummet, if someone can post something to pull the thread back up!

    This doesn't sound good. Mass stabbing events seem to be becoming a thing. 

     

     

    Sounds horrendous.  Hard to comprehend really.  Usual rumours circulating online, despite to confirmation of anything other than one arrest and knife found.

    Queue reports soon of "mental health issues" :(

    I am STUCK in the Elden Ring DLC :lol:

    Three fucking days on one boss so far. 

    Ive not gone for the DLC, still recovering from finishing the main thing.  That was HARD.  It kinda gives you a clue mind at the very start with that way OP Knight who kicks your arse

  7. I think this is why I've slid quietly back here 🐮talking NUFC on twitter is just hard fucking work.  No one has a balanced view (on any subject tbf).

    In other news, a couple of conversations I've had recently suggested that on Amanda, part of her issue was being a scatter brain.  They would all agree a plan on something and she would go "off plan" easily.  Then on Eddie Howe, suggestions they are pushing him to change his training approach (but with input from new nutrition and performance people) as over training part (not only) cause of injuries (I think most of us would have guessed this bit).

  8. Like most I think he is a great option to have, but we know how unreliable he is.  Would be nuts to go in to another season with only him and Isak.  I dont mind him staying, but think we need a 3rd option (to really be 2nd option and maybe offer something different to Isak)

  9. More noise around this today it seems.  I wonder with Mandy off, would this make Howe think it could be time for him, or will have feel he has unfinished work here?  If he is offered England, he might not be offered again so could see it as his only chance?  

     

    I think it's too soon, he could do something here (NUFC) with 1-2 more seasons then maybe look at England?  Though assume next England manager will take through to 2026 WC in America, seems reasonable to line Howe up for after that (assuming another year of winning nowt).

  10. Saw the Foo's (again) this year, who were excellent (again).  Have Dave Gilmour in Oct which I can't wait, being a Floyd fan and seen Roger Waters several times, but never Gilmour.  

     

    Just booked tickets for Sleep Token, which is my current obsession and locally have OCS at the Tynemouth Festival this week (pissing down ofc) and next month Snow Patrol (and others) at Hardwick Hall festival.

    Had a few bad games, got injured, has featured on the wrong side for England which all helps to form the narrative (along with Tinos performances) that maybe we would be better without him. 

     

    If he feels like he needs to go, then I don't think the club should stand in his way, however if we don't need to sell, and he wants to stay then I certainly don't think we should be looking to push him out 

     

     

     

    Pretty much the page I'm on.  When he joined he made me realise just how back our back 4 was, he stood out a mile with quality.  Now the back four have caught up some (player quality and training).  Tino clearly the future, offers more going forward I think but Trippier defensively better for me, despite a couple of poor games (that any player has, Christ some wanted rid of Bruno last season).
