I can only think of John Blackley but it doesn’t look like him from my foggy memory 😂
He looks different in quite a lot of photos but it’s him…

John Brownlie, Des Bremner, Alan Rough, Kenny Dogleash is all I can get …if I’m right that is …Maybe Sandy Jardine at the front 🤔
It’s Danny McGrain at the front as someone else posted mate. Top marks for Brownlie though hes the one that played for Newcastle. Des Bremner won the European Cup with Villa in 1982

Ok, old skool pannini sticker dudes. ASSEMBLE! 😀
Today in 1976 the greatest football strips in the history of football were released in a blizzard of publicity as illustrated below 😆
Name the 7 players, one went on to play for Newcastle, another went on to win the European cup
@Toonpack you’re banned from taking part due to you very likely being at school with at least one of them

isn’t that just generally Longstaff from most of last season? There must be something that makes him valuable in the team which isn’t visible to the naked eye. I suspect he gets good positions both attacking and defensively.
You’re watching a different game to me mate if you can’t see the difference between Longstaff of last season and this season. His best aspect is his pace and stamina in the pressing game which he still seems to able to do. His decision making and execution this season look tired and laboured though. Howe has already said he’s carrying an injury and is playing with injections which precisely explains why this is the case but with 3 other midfielders out he has little choice. He started yesterday because as other posters have pointed out it’s better at the moment to have quality like Anderson on the bench to come on and influence the game rather than starting the game and having to then bring on a half fit player to perhaps have to change the game.
FFP prevented freshening this position in January. Last season I thought he was in the best form of his career and was unlucky not to get into the England reckoning. I don’t know what else there is to say. Am not claiming he’s the greatest player I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen few first choice XI’s that also had 20+ first class players to back them up all be fit and available all season and it’s profoundly unrealistic to expect that at NUFC regardless of who our owners are. Here’s the team from the first game of the season…he wasn’t in it…
Sorry if I’ve been a pedantic prick in this post. I’m utterly pig fuckin sick though of people uttering “HOO MAN LONGYS SHITE MAN!!” I was surrounded by them yesterday at the match and goons on twitter making lists of the usual suspects that their tiny Championship Manager brains are telling them we absolutely categorically have to get rid of or the club itself will spontaneously self combust on Wednesday afternoon are just as bad. It’s all just utter, utter horseshit. Does nobody just think “well, this is better than Rafa and Steve Bruce and every other fucker since SBR, it’s not perfect but on balance this is fine..”?? People are really beginning to piss me off. Sorry this isn’t really aimed at you personally but I obviously needed to get this all off my chest
This season really, really hasn’t been that bad. There are very well rehearsed reasons why it’s not perhaps been a bit better. I also think Howe has undoubtedly made a few mistakes and who the fuck knows what the standard of medical advice he's received has been like. It’s like no one wants to acknowledge the good though, fuck knows what fantastically high standards they hold themselves and others to at work or at home because they expect the moon on a fuckin stick from their football club. In place of thought and reason it’s just a constant stream of instant knee jerk wankerisms . I’ve fuckin had enough…

Think Howe got it spot on yesterday in a weird way. He had maybe 13 players he was going to use to try to win the game. Knowing the fitness levels of Willock, Longstaff, Barnes and Anderson it made sense to start with the first two and then if it was going tits up you’ve at least got comparative quality on the bench to try to change things. Watching Longy is fuckin painful at the moment. We’ve 3 midfielders out and not coming back any time soon. I might be tempted to start Anderson v Spurs…

i think it speaks to the broader point that brexit (cameron's creation) has left us with a cabinet of talentless halfwits. politicians used to be good, whatever you thought of their principles, or lack of.
cameron should have stayed under his rock, but his return does highlight just how appalling the current crop are.
Cameron was a PR man before he was a politician and it fuckin shows. He had four referendums during his tenure as PM, cunt couldn’t make a decision if his life depended on it. Look where that’s left us.
He’s in this book, there’s a chapter devoted to the the 10 biggest cunts from the last 20 years or so. They’ve each got a chapter. Hard recommend 👍

Also the great communicator that won't be held to scrutiny by the commons for ANYTHING that he's doing as foreign secretary.
Easy to be a great communicator when you won't be subject to scrutiny on anything that might put you in a difficult position.
Also where was this great communication during the EU referendum campaign?
David Cameron is a cunt. Communication is the basic requirement for being a politician, you don't get extra marks for it, no matter how shit everyone else that's come after you is.

We watch(ed) soccer Saturday because the game(s) arent televised. These plums can get a broadcast.
But they’re still sat there watching some goon describing what’s happening to them 🤷🏻♂️ -

I guess it's not too dissimilar to us watching Soccer Saturday? But for the bellend generation?
It’s absolutely no different
Other than Stelling’s obvious broadcasting ability the show was always fuckin shit. Rodney Marsh and Frank Mclintock ffs? Fuckin MERSON???… coaxing the likes of these into providing a modicum of entertainment confers genius status on Stelling tbh..

Seems a bit too sensible
The current PL clubs aren’t likely to vote to give Man City and us unlimited spending power unless the penalties are huge, enough to give oil rich despots second thoughts… it’s unlikely to happen iyam 🤷🏻♂️
