Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

[edge]

With a City that size and only one team to support they should be selling out every match. They of course would tell you they sell out home and away every game, but over the last 5 yrs at Goodison they only seem to muster around 500-1000.

That's to many for my liking.
For such a sound city
I don't know what gets into them at the footy, absolutely kopite, semi Rangers/Celtic vibes about them,
They do my head in.

Gerrard would be a big risk especially as he will inevitably be replacing Klopp.

But he's got long experience of working for despicable regimes.

They can have Delph on a free

You can't overcharge them just because they have money now.

 

[paultheblue]

They have now sold out their game Vs Spurs on the back of the announcement. This is the dawning of a new era....

If your going up there mate you would do well to bring a suitcase full of tea towels, you cant buy tea towels or sandals for love nor money in Newcastle

Aye it’s weird. Used to work there and basically if you don’t talk football you won’t have much to talk about. It’s a one city team with very little diversity so they all keep thinking they’re this huge sleeping giant and as no one is disagreeing with them so they all believe it more and more. It’s quite something,

It's an echo chamber. Same as the RS. The RS struggle to talk football with other fans, because they hear opinions they don't like. Instead, they stick to their own and it quickly becomes a deluded echo chamber. Newcastle are the same, they've convinced themselves they're a huge sleeping giant.

Why is it that Newcastle fans claim that they “deserve” this largesse. What is it they have done exactly to warrant such obscene riches aside from whine and moan for as long as anyone can remember?

Some serious ‘tropes’ being bandied about in here. Hope you’re all gonna be happy when you know who comes steaming in with a 30,000 word essay when he reads all these.

They gave us Jimmy Nail, Wor Jackie Milburn and Ant & Dec Pet (said in a Geordie accent), credit where credit is due

Who's that mate?

The one cause for hope in all this I see is that Newcastle might have a bottomless pit of money now, but they are still Newcastle...I mean, geographically they cant make themselves 'not Newcastle'.

Players can be offered loads of cash and promises of trophies...and that's a big draw for the bulk of players....but the elite, the type of players City and Chelsea and PSG and other nouveaux riche clubs have bagged, have lifestyle in mind as well. The North East of England isn't a draw for those type of players. It's the wilderness. They might snag the odd superstar in the twilight of their careers looking to get a kings ransom for their pension fund for a season or two's work, but they wont get top players at their peak.

And there is the WAGs that have to be persuaded.

Non-league is great, haven’t got to as many games as I would like to since it started back up. Wish my team played at a proper non league ground rather than a rugby ground where they shove you in a corner of one stand and aren’t allowed to drink in your seat.

That sounds horrible. One of the joys of proper non-league is being free to move around and watch the game with a pint in your hand.

It’s why I prefer the aways. Cables is a great little ground.

They’ll get used and abused by the big name agents to offload names to start with.

Rubin and Staveley are attention seeking clowns and I can see the Saudis getting shot of them once they’ve got their feet under the table.

"getting shot"
An unfortunate terminology don't you think?

Are you an Everton fan?
