Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Spurs
I don't know what Angeball actually is, but it isn't very good.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Spurs
Suppose the only question is whether that's Krafth or Burn at left back.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Spurs
I really like the idea of this 'sound shirts' they are bringing out for deaf supporters. Not sure how it works, but looks a really great idea. Good to see a different sponsor as well, even if it is a one off. 3-1 Newcastle Apparently some display in the East Stand too, I might get some cardboard.

Re: Football Titbits
Timely from the club, 5% increases. I'm on the 10 year deal still, but looks like mine will go from about £600 to about £950 this time next year. Can't complain too much as the deal has been great, but that's a lot of money. The state of the "Internet football fans" in the comments though. "It's nee...

Re: Football Titbits
I'd forgotten to mention that part (ticket revenue being dwarfed by worldwide TV and sponsorship/merch sales), it was a heavily used argument for years quite rightly, but there's a hugely irritating trend towards "we need to bleed every penny for FFP" these days.

Re: Football Titbits
Should have had more flags. Whilst I do agree with fan protests in general, I feel there's a lot more to protest than a 2% increase. Considering how much everything in general has gone up. I work in a very underfunded sector, and was pleasantly surprised with a 14% increase this year. I suppose I'm...

Re: Joelinton set to sign new deal
Honestly the best news in ages. I know football is a business and I should care about FFP and net spend and other nonsense, but to have a player who went from almost a joke to the engine room in a CL team (as was) is what the game is about.

Re: 23/24 NUFC Kits Thread
It's all over. They've said I can reorder and if any of the items have gone up they'll refund the difference (f***ing madness), but the kids home kit is completely out of stock. I've basically just loaned Castore £80 for two months.

Re: 23/24 NUFC Kits Thread
I got ahead of myself. Dispatched on Friday, they're now already claiming lost in the post (Evri haven't received it yet). Offering me a refund or store credit, notably not "just give me my stuff".
What a shambles.

Re: Football Titbits
The problem with applying North American bias is that North American sports leagues exist in a bubble, nothing above, below or around. A salary cap in the PL wouldn't be matched across Europe, meaning big players suddenly start going back to Spain and Italy. Truth be told I could live with that if i...

Re: Football Titbits
Two separate charges across two separate periods. They were deducted 10 (reduced to 6) for I believe 21/22, this latest 2 points is for 22/23.

Was about to say Chris Wood's on fire, which he absolutely is, but he's also just smashed it at the post from 2 yards.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cottagers
Pleasing ! Take it and roll in Seven points out of nine is an acceptable return from these three fixtures. For a squad that is right under the pump it’s credit to all involved in keeping us ticking over I’d say that’s an excellent return tbf. If I was offered that before the West Ham game I’d have ...

Re: Midweek football - 2/4 April 2024
That's the spirit. We've got a really favourable fixture list til the end of the season, a mini run of form (and no injuries to Isak or Bruno...) could see us to Europe.

Re: Midweek football - 2/4 April 2024
I'm struggling to understand why they're so excited by the assist. It bounced unchallenged in the penalty area, that's just s*** defending. Great brave header of course.

Re: Midweek football - 2/4 April 2024
It's a cracking game, almost entirely because they're both defensively s**** with a smattering of good attackers.
