Morning all….. been away for a week or sunshine but thought I would come and offer sincere congratulations for last Saturday!
I actually sat and watched the game with one of yours and we had some good banter and many drinks,
Gonna be honest only one team was going to win and it was fully deserved.
Dust settles and he reciprocated by watching us v Burnley, again with many drinks.
Moving forward double optimism?
I see your challenges as keeping the nucleus and enthusiasm of your squad together while adding a little bit of quality! Stick or twist? Consolidate or push for double promotion? I don’t see Alex Neil as the sort of manager who will
settle for consolidation, he is ambitious and technically astute.
Support was magnificent at Wembley but you need to ensure as many of those none regulars become regulars again….. come out the traps flying and it’s doable.
Under Ashley we gave 10k of tickets away, however demand is sky high again, with a modicum of success both clubs will sell out easily unlike teams like Man City.
 



Premier League ownership test​

“The Premier League has now received legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control Newcastle United Football Club” is possibly the least reassuring sentence of the season. Some have accused Saudi Arabia of buying Newcastle as part of a sportswashing campaign but surely that cannot be true. Can spending £25m on Chris Wood really make the world forget about the awful human rights record in the country or the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi? Could the that would invite Newcastle fans to splash out on a Saudi Arabia national team replica with a different badge really make the country seem more acceptable? Yes, it can. “If it is true that Newcastle United is changing its away kit to match Saudi Arabia’s national colours, it exposes the power of the Saudi dollar and the kingdom’s determination to sportswash its brutal, blood-soaked human rights record,” Felix Jakens, Amnesty International UK’s head of campaigns, said.
 
Well they were never just going to laugh it off we’re they? 🤣 Needy feckers with a sense of humour by pass, love dishing it out but can’t take any back.

It’s extremely disrespectful AND cowardly, targeting a good-natured, harmless lad who’s barely 9 stone wet through. Hopefully Callum Wilson will snap the chavvy c*nt in half next season.
 
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
