I love this city, I love the club and the passion they have for it. They fight for it so I want to fight for it.” The club is transformed from the one that he signed for. Ashley is gone, replaced by a consortium who have made no bones about their ambition. “Newcastle is a massive club and now it’s coming back,” he says. “We all know the owners’ ambitions. They want to be big – the biggest club in the world – and when you listen to them you think it can be. “Now everyone in the world is talking about Newcastle and what it can be. In Brazil they know it now and I’m happy to be here and I hope to stay for many years here to be part of it.” In the short-term the aim is “to keep improving, day by day”. But the long-term? “To help Newcastle win titles and do great things. I’m happy here, very pleased for the fans. “I love the city, my life is good and I hope to stay here for many years.” 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6302 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 An interesting experiment is trying to explain to Gen Z what shirt numbering standards were pre-1993. It's up there with giving them an old dial telephone and asking them to make a call 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they’re collectors items as they’re difficult to get hold of. I guess that’s what happens when shit books go out of print and most of them end up pulped. The novelty factor here being the author is famous, he’s embarrassed by the books and he’s a massive cunt Edited March 9, 2022 by Alex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the left back moved over in England and still wears 3 but it was the left half that moved there in Brazil, hence 6 being more traditional 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to have come into common usage to describe that holding midfield role quite recently. Heard it a lot of late but before that it wouldn’t be used the same way 9/10 for a CF/2nd striker has been for ages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
