I think he’s Englands next captain too. If FFP allows it & our other main targets we should definitely try to get him into a room with Eddie Howe & the owners. That’s obviously dependent on champions league football . Shearer turned Man Utd down twice, first time was for newly minted Blackburn Rovers.. obviously it’s a vastly different football world now but there’s something about how he’s acted around the Newcastle players and staff this season…Tripper needs to get inside his head on England duty..

That’s my uncle Wattie tbf but yeah

Has someone posted this before?…very much an NUFC 2023 type signing if it’s true…

Out of all the journos jumping on the “sportswashing” bandwagon since October 2021 the only one I’ve any time for is Delaney. He’ll actually answer a reasonable tweet, he appears to walk it like he talks it. There’s accusations of him having a different attitude when it comes to Qatar & the potential sale to Man Utd but I’ve not seen much evidence of that tbh. I think as long as journos in general keep focusing on the nature of the nation states now involved in European football then sportswashing won’t work…. I asked him in a tweet why Abramovich was left alone at Chelsea for 20 years and he said all major media companies were shit scared of ending up in the high court being sued by the cleverest most expensive lawyers in the country. This is a legitimate concern tbh https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/22/roman-abramovich-settles-libel-claim-over-putin-biography Delaney’s piece on the symbolism of Man City’s win last night…

Well yeah I can read that from what he’s said in his tweet but he’s using the phrase xG difference. Is that xG as you’ve been patiently explaining it or “expected goal difference” as in goals scored - goals conceded? 🤔

it’ll be fine, am sure Dave & Gemmill will be civil in their replies ☺️

So it’s “expected goal difference v actual goal difference” in the first graph, but not actual “xG (difference)” that’s been preoccupying certain posters on here recently, it’s almost actually good old fashioned GOAL DIFFERENCE itself, but just the “expected” sort? … have I got that right?…

Ken Bruce is the go to mild mannered easy going mid morning broadcaster. Wykiki obviously doesn’t want his perusal of Ferret Fanciers Weekly spoiled by KB’s polished brogue whilst sipping a small skip sized cup of Yorkshire tea and nibbling on a Pontefract cake

Only philistines go to the lakes rather than God’s great Northumbria, both north and south of the border

Was it more or less frustrating to read than some of the posters on here?

Think you’ll find @Gemmill is on upcoming match home supporter interaction/liaison duties with his shiny new table showing how we’re mint and they’re not

Out Fishing The Fish is a bizarre obsession for Easter Sunday tbh Villa won’t be looking forward to playing us because we’re fuckin ace

Loved Stardust when I was a kid I’d also forgotten all about this belter that pops up in an episode about 1977…

FUCKIN YES GLOOM THEYRE FUCKIN PILCHARDS were you actually meeting up with CT today?

YES G MAN

FOUR FOUR FUCKIN TWO 😎

Tories can’t win on their record in government so dragging the debate down into the culture war. The grooming gangs thing is rightly or wrongly largely a thing of the past and that hideous fuckin bigot Braverman dragged it back to the forefront of the moon howling right wing media’s attention and they’ve talked of nothing since. They’ve even invented new TV channels now no one reads physical papers. No one watches them in real time but the bullshit content is chopped up and seen by millions on twitter etc. They’re still miles behind but it’s the descent into the gutter that’s most galling. Anyone who disagrees with a Tory policy is a communist and anyone who digs at Labour is a Nazi. Fuckin nonsense for idiots.

There’s dozens of tweets with that picture on them today from bitter outraged mancs it’s fuckin delicious In other news…

Obviously more dollar….

There’s a lapto option if you text the boy 👍

😀

Was his actual first cousin involved in that chat by any chance?

Barring a catastrophic run of firm we can basically secure at least 4th by beating both Spurs and Brighton before the end of the season. 4 points from those two games would probably do it.
