I can say I disagree with what happens in their country till I’m blue in the face, and Some of you will still try to argue the toss

Even when they're dieing inside at the thought of signing yet another player from Burnley they'll still say it's a good move & their Saudi Overlords can do no wrong. He's nee Pickford like. I'll wager its in the back of their minds that its turning to shit.

Aye another bit of fortune for the Mags as Pope jumped and caught it cleanly with 2 hands. As he came down with ball in hands, the ball hit Schar's head then shoulder and took it out Pope's hands which he couldn't help.

You miss the point. By stepping and saying "You know there is a ceasefire" is like saying about Hitler "he has closed the concentration camps".......you just didn't need to say it.
And was this going in......

This could be a Mike Ashley summer recruitment campaign. At least little Eddie tries though, bolts him. And all the mags want is a team that tries so I'm sure they'll be happy.

"It looks like a very good step forward to me, Newcastle United ending up with arguably two of the best ten keepers in the Premier League"
The only people in the football world who would argue that Dubravka and Pope are 20% of the top 10 keepers in the premier league, are those at The Mag.
But this is how it starts. They hype up anyone that signs beyond belief. Anyone in a black and white shirt is amazing.... it's always someone else to blame when they don't live up to it. Ashley, Bruce, Richard Masters....

The author must never watch the match sober...
"Nick Pope poor with the ball at his feet and it seems a big u-turn from Eddie Howe, playing long ball football not possession.’"
Out of necessity they played hoof ball last season and the midfield was by passed. He doesn't (atm) have the players to consistently dominate possession.

They will spin that.
They'll sell it as a "positive sign about the stature of the club and the ambition of the owners that they were trying to get players Madrid were after".
It's like Consett putting in a bid for Gareth Bale and then saying "look at our ambition, we were in for one of the games great players and were competing with some big clubs".

If Real Madrid wanted him he'd be there now
I put the crown in to show Fatty where he was going wrong
Another one with zero sense of humour

Let us enjoy it whilst it lasts as surely being the richest club in the world there must be some big names coming? Even I am not so naive to think otherwise!
But:
- Trippier because his missus wanted to be back in NW and no other Prem team wanted him;
- Burn as he is from Blyth;
- Targett as he was told he had no future at AV when Digne signed;
- Wood....well why wouldn't he. Likely best pay day of this life.
The only one I don't get is Bruno! Brazil international at Lyon, playing alongside his mate, took a huge risk signing for the team bottom of the league and risked losing his place in Brazil squad if it went tits up.

When it's not going their way though.... it's all about this mythical "project".
Bruno believes in the project....

Perhaps he's using them as a stepping stone to bigger things. No one else might been in for him.

It may all come out in the wash but him signing (before a WC) when relegation looked certain is a mystery. And for all the mags reading it take your B&W specs off - players don't care about flags and 52k screaming Jawdees.

Amanda isn't stupid. She knew that signing players like Burn and Wood was not going to get the fans onside. Trippier would, and a fancy Brazillian would.
But I still say Bruno is not the player most mags think he is. He's an average premiership player that wouldn't stand out at a lot of clubs...
I've just won the lottery jackpot, so to celebrate I'm going to get some new clothes from Next. Not very ambitious? Well I used to shop at Primark.
Well that's not true of your fanbase even though it is the official 'line' - you clamoured for the Awab mans to takeover and you sportswash for them with every supportive, deflective or plain ignorant post you make. You DO 'do owt about it', you indirectly encourage it by directly accepting it, though many go much further by openly defending the regime.

He's a bucket load better than average. You obviously haven't watched him play.
