Newcastle FC (Aug 19)

[Reiver]

So, if there's no cameras, it's not engaging? Well then, anecdotally I know he's visited community projects, charities and hospital wards in Newcastle and around the area. But I've no idea if there were cameras or journalists so while they pass Reiver's legitimacy test, they fail his evidentiary test. What a conundrum

I don't particularly understand this theme that if a manager is taken to by the Newcastle fans, some sunderland fans spend hours of their lives trying to paint him in a bad light, but if Newcastle fans don't take to a manager (or owner), some sunderland spend hours of their lives defending him. I get there's rivalry and bias, but it's just entirely bizarre behaviour. e.g. If Bruce wins over the fans, he'll be vilified on here and the Newcastle fans called fickle, if he doesn't win us over he'll be defended on here and the Newcastle fans called deluded. It's just a weird trope.

Yes, of course

Just bought Rod Stewarts house in Essex.

Now he's a Maggie he may sell

Liverpool might buy him again for 35M.....I am still annoyed at Sunderland getting rid of Henderson so cheaply (20M) I said it at the time and I am spot on today....

To be fair, they only paid 22 million for Suarez who was already prolific at the time. So 58 million for Carrol *and* Suarez was an incredible bit of business, considering that Suarez was worth that on his own.

 

[Sir Tasker]

Yes, of course

Reiver 'prefers Grayson'.

Of all the tremendous posts on here, that one remains the greatest.

It worked out so well too. Beautiful bromance. Bless them.

Fuming

 

[look out piano]

The return of the prodigal bun, Aunty Carrol.........gerrup ! .

 

[Daffy]

Best thing about current situation is Newcastle being a mediocre top flight team hoping to stay up is a regular occurrence since 1950s. Sunderland being a Third Division club in the same period is now starting to become a regular occurence.

Clip of that ^

I actually think that’s a cracking signing for free. The wages won’t be mental as he has fuck all else in the way of options

 

[cluffy]

Wonder if they'll get N'Zogbia and Nicky Butt back too?

 

[Stortford]

Imagine thinking your a geet big club who haven't won a major trophy for over 50 years and the only thing that makes them feel a geet big club is the fact that they get 50000 for home games
but this season they might have loads of empty seats for home games. I wonder if they sing their famous song they sing at away grounds you know the one

Tha here tha there tha every f***ing where empty seats empty seats

Will be 65th anniversary since they won a proper trophy next May

If he stays injury free and stays out of the bars and dealers cars he will do a decent job. He’ll Not do well.

It was always an utterly ridiculous concept.

Do you mean UEFA? They don’t recognise it, surely you’ve done that as one of your school projects

 

[deleted user 785]

The big word is IF. If he stays fit he will be a very good signing.

Every United side wins Fuck All ?
