Agree. if we wer able to compete on a level playing field with the head-start cartel clubs we'd arguably have Anderson, Bruno, Tonali as our midfield 3 - a some 300m engine room signed for what, 80-90m? we'd have Minteh as our RW we signed for peanuts, we'd have Isak here on a fresh fat contract as the highest paid player we've ever had...our scouting would have looked next level.

I'll never tire of the Bulls walk-out music for this World Cup.

You have to hold your hands up and say what's the point, I mean seriously what is the point?

Athletic's Daniel Taylor saying City would eye Tonali in addition to Anderson and could commit over 200m to get both. If that is not a gut punch to what the football accountants have done to the game. So let me get this straight, because a band of football clubs only caring to protect themselves with the pre 2015/2016 head start on uncapped/unregulated financial head start can force NUFC to sell both (essentially) to the richer clubs? Fuck sake man.

I am generally an eternal optimist, so deep down I eventually think we will get to back to where we want to be, and it could be really soon if our rebuild hits… However, deep down, I am of the mindset that we are in for a slower rebuild than we will want to have. The momentum is lost. Amanda and the takeover swell of emotions, Bruno, Tonali and Isak. The cup final.

FWIW, Messi is all over our TV here with commercial ads since he joined Miami and he’s an absolute prick on the pitch for them. Also think there’s a bit of a dirty player in him that always gets the benefit of the doubt in MLS. So I can’t really stand him, from a pure hater stand point, however of course the guy is absolutley the greatest footballer I’ve ever seen in my life.

I sorta dont rate Odegaard

long live it. It’s football at its purest man. Also includes a big fucking CF and some old fashioned pashun

same with Iran last night! Really quality.

Will echo previous page. Not too long ago we were sitting here talking about potential title races and wondering what could happen with Isak, Gordon, Bruno and Tonali at the core of this team if a few things broke our way. Now Isak is gone, Gordon has left, and Tonali is being linked away. We’ll rebuild, and that’s part of football, but if I’m honest with myself, I’m sad. This group gave me some of the best memories I’ve ever had supporting Newcastle, and while I’m excited for whatever comes next, the reality is that the team that made us believe again is slowly being broken up by PSR/SCR, transfers, balance sheets, age and time. I’ll get behind the next core just like I always do, but I’m going to miss this group. All of them. Yes even the rat.

I love Barcola imagine him and Osula flying over the pitch on the same team

Barcola would be box office at SJP

filthy fucking goal Barc.

I was all for Jackson. Literally would have been the smartest move in the desperate summer.

Olise woulda been pinging balls to Isak - he'd have had like 25 assists and 15 goals too
