Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

I've missed this, whaaaa?

Hold on, prob best not to reply given the issues around a certain suspended player.

It was overturned. During the downfall of the USSR, Usmanov was found guilty of rape but it was alleged that it was all down to the guy in control being an avowed enemy of a major business associate of Usmanov. Once he was ousted, the verdict was thrown out and that's the end of the sordid story.

No wonder Mike Ashley bought these scruffy gets in the first place.
Such an easy sale of Slazenger polos and Lonsdale trabs..

I mean, they haven't as they personally don't own it.

I'm hoping the owners are a bit mad too. More Vincent Tan or the loons who brought Forest.

Good grief.
The image of that reminds me of the rich fat lad on the boat at the end of Taken.

Another of the last vestiges of being a football fan inside of me has died tonight.

 

[Toffeeslam]

Bet the so called “big six” turn into the “Big seven” now

Where the hell has this sleeping giant narrative come from ? 1 trophy in 100 years and that was won before colour tv existed. Ridiculous.

I love watching us and the matchday experience is like a routine over the years but I dont know how long left English football has before it eats away at itself.

Only way things will get better is a salary and transfer cap across the board regardless of revenue and the team with the best academy/recruitment wins.

‘Glory days’ of winning nothing

The delusion has started.
52000 every week.
Sellout wherever we go ( apart from Everton, usually 500-1000)
Back where we belong.
Those European nights at St Jame’s.

Best of luck to the camel punchers, football died a long time ago.

Salary cap in one league basically kills that league overnight, a cap has to be global otherwise the leagues popularity nosedives and all the good players go elsewhere. The entire structure of football would need to change before a salary cap would ever work.

Thats what I picture Holliday looking like.

They’ve not brought more than 300 to Goodison since Pardew was in charge

Genuinely hope the super league happens at this point. Don’t care if the quality of our league suffers a bit, at least it’ll actually be an honest, competitive sport and not some ridiculous hyper-football circus made for Yanks and FIFA Ultimate Team quilts.
