May 2022. Going into final day of the season after an unexpected title challenge financed by Lazaro selling for £60m. I could have won it early had Liverpool not turned into unstoppable monsters on a 24 win streak and started winning by five goals routinely to destroy my goal difference lead. They f...

The last thing we needed was another Sheffield United type club like Brentford coming up, doing well and putting the lower half teams to shame. <ski> Don't particularly mind Fulham. Although from what I've read, they're ownership are still very stubborn; haven't really acknowledged any mistakes sin...

Anyone been playing Fall Guys? Looks like some good dumb fun.

I guess they're going all in on trying to force the Premier League to do something, sitting quietly only led to the PL dragging its heels. Can do a lot more PR damage by going loud at this point - much as Staveley was also doing in her interviews immediately after the PIF announcement - keep the sto...

We've got a slowly growing American influence of philanthropy over actual community. Everyone looks out for themselves but for some reason billionaires will fill the gap out of the good of their hearts. What could go wrong? I wanted to make a joke about the raging success of the last decade of aust...

The Athletic have put a couple of pieces out regarding this. https://theathletic.com/1963663/2020/07/30/newcastle-united-takeover-withdraw-staveley-ashley-pif-premier-league/ Their summary of points: During detailed conversations with The Athletic, multiple sources connected to the consortium have c...

Maybe Ashley could try that thing people have been doing when they've got an expensive house they can't sell at the price they want - raffle it off with the total ticket value over their asking price and pretend it's all for charity.

How long until the next takeover saga begins?

Sanchino was demanding Rondon on here back in 2012 (and has posted about him at least 111 times)), I say we make him head of recruitment

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate xG? If not just pretend I've made a four paragraph great point about it because I'm sick of bloody talking about it. I'm an analyst by trade so in theory I should love the statification of football, but sentences like this make me f***ing vomit: "Mo Salah led t...

We don't exactly do well in the attempts at measuring this "objectively" through expected goals for, expected goals against, and expected points. https://i.imgur.com/fxoUuuM.png https://understat.com/league/EPL Expected goals is fairly accurate to our goals scored - unfortunately that being we've ha...

Neither Ritchie nor Rose seem to fancy paying any attention to Salah...

Rose complaining to the "CB"s that VVD scored after he was the one completely done to let the cross in

Fernandez not happy wiith the players in the box, so goes for a Cissé-esque volley

Feels like BT commentary have three talking points prepared for this match, and they're just going to cycle through them, and then a bit of the latest record they can find for Gayle's goal.

I had seen people mentioning that it was basically the West Brom kit from this season, nufc.com have a comparison (admittedly using photoshop kit templates) that shows just how much this is the case. Only appreciable difference being black for their navy, their white shoulder bar thing is now black ...

£65 RRP <awe> https://twitter.com/NUFC/status/1286285405466361861 The finer details appear to be that there are no finer details: https://twitter.com/NUFC/status/1286287471681077251 The back has stripes under the black shoulders at least, presumably red numbering again. https://twitter.com/NUFC/stat...

I never get the disdain when a new jersey comes out, I'm sure what more people expect from a black and white striped jersey. The only things you can realistically do is a) make the stripes wider or narrower b) Have them at some kind of angle (See Inter jersey) c) Or god forbid invert terms to be ho...

Could always just have their preferred sponsor / money vehicle buy out the betting sponsor to take over the deal, if it really was to be an issue. More interesting to me is that it's "long-term" when there's increasing pressure to do away with betting sponsors altogether - didn't Spain just ban them?

Kell Watts will be eligible to feature against Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday after Newcastle United successfully applied to the Premier League for permission to include the 20-year-old in the squad for the trip to the South Coast.​ The England under-19 international has had loan spells with Stev...
