Re: Other Clubs Transfers/Rumours/Wishlist
Matty Longstaff signing for Toronto. Just came to post this too. First impression suggests fans here have tempered expectations, but think it's at least worth a roll of the dice if he can get back after this ACL injury. Has apparently be trialing with TFC - so they'll have a sense of his fitness. H...

Re: 23/24 NUFC Kits Thread
For those that spoke about the kit fit and recommending a size up - was it too tight fitting? Or (also) shorter in the body and sleeves? I'm of the tall and skinny type.

Re: Football Titbits
I'd never defend doping, but that feels like a pretty wild penalty for a first offence. Not that I'll throw a pity party for Pogba of all players.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Blackburn Rovers
So it’s a no change an ht, apart from the usual have some stern words. The old cliche wait till 60 mins if nothing changes then the classic Hail Mary , inject width and more pace 🤣 I used to have a lot of confidence that we'd respond in the second half and show a new approach or level of effort, an...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Blackburn Rovers
Was disappointed today's match is on a subscription channel here and not the more common sports network FA cup matches are normally aired on, especially since I'm working from home this afternoon...sounds like I'm not missing anything.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Blackburn Rovers
Hoping that means it's a way to keep his favourites like Burn still getting playing time with the intention to start Tino in the next league match. Of all our issues against Arsenal, I thought he was fine and likely better than Burn could have been expected to do in defending their RW.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
Trying to attract some of the talent bandied about is part of the reason I think we have to finish this season strongly. For all we can point to overachieving last season, or being such an exciting project, players' careers are short and they have to make decisions about the immediate opportunities ...

Re: 23/24 NUFC Kits Thread
Just below size it says Standard or Personalised (or similar). I went for Schar but he's not in the dropdown, utter disgrace. Had to type it myself. Probably end up with SHCAR. Huh, how about that, thanks! It's wild that ASM's face is still on the Select Player button. Annoyingly it adds $31 to the...

Re: Football Titbits
I'm no Brendan Rogers fan, but this is absolutely ridiculous. At worst it's mildly patronising from Rogers, and it's for the female presenter to decide if she was offended, not for some feminist group to pipe up demanding an apology. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg6d6552kkzo People have said...

Re: Football Titbits
Very disappointing news but there's still a chance they may be taken away again. Tbh even with a 10 point deduction I think they’d scrape survival due to how abysmal the bottom of the league is. Anyway, if you only get a 6 point deduction why not just sign a load of extra players and take the hit a...

Re: 23/24 NUFC Kits Thread
Said I wasn't going to get any kits from this season and would wait for Adidas but that's a f***ing good deal, Isak 14 home kit on the way 😅. Not keen on the green kit, I do like the 3rd though but unfortunately out of stock on my size. Not sure if it's because the website isn't working well for me...

Re: 23/24 NUFC Kits Thread
Just an FYI that the big sale seems to be kicking off, all 3 shirts at £21 at the moment with free names and numbers. Because it's Castore the kids ones are still more expensive... I think my wife threatened to divorce me if I support the Saudis by buying our kits...but maybe she'll forgive me for ...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners
Yeah onto the next one. Even at 2-0 felt like game over. Shows there's levels to being a title contender / CL regular (Pool, City, Arsenal) and then there's CL hopefuls (Villa, Spurs, Man United, us). We're nowhere near title contenders or CL regulars. We need to maintain a consistent level of gett...

Re: Dan Ashworth confirmed as gardening director
A better job offer has come up at a company where he'll have the backing of his mates, and it's the kind of opportunity that doesn't come around very often. Yeah it doesn't look great to job hop at that level, but he's got the chance to rebuild a giant without anywhere near the same FFP shackles we...

Re: Dan Ashworth confirmed as sporting director
I don't necessarily imagine his decision has anything to do with us. We can pretend we represent the best project on earth, but the reality is that we will never have the reach or potential resources Man U do, and given the neglect of their infrastructure and structure for the past couple decades, t...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cherries
Agree on all the discussion. And one final point on the Burn and Botman point - agree that Botman has been caught out a few times lately, and I don't know if he's lost a step since his injury, but it only further highlights why the LB needed next to him right now has to have more pace than Burn to c...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cherries
Immediately look better in possession with Tino too. So much more balanced with an additional option down the left.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cherries
It's like Dan's been told to close nobody down because he'll otherwise get beat for pace, thereby giving up shots and passes. If you have to sub a defender this many weeks in a row, maybe change the starting XI. Howes time is running out Wtf is it with this Burn thing I'm not watching the game howe...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cherries
But I was told we didn't need strengthening because the squad was finally getting healthy and there wouldn't be playing time...*sigh*
