So, ASM aside, what made Saudi bid so much for Fabinho, as an example? They put a lot of money into Livpoo and Chelsea for players who quite probably weren’t in demand at the price they paid. Was it just a naive splurge, or is it somehow in their interest to gain favour with some ‘big’ clubs who were quite desperate for funds? I’m not suggesting a specific answer by the way, but they are possibly seeking influence with clubs who may be involved in shaping the next big change in European football. Or not.

The delay isn’t coming from the league this time as far as I can see? 777 had asked for an extension on repaying the loans which were due yesterday until late May, which sounds a bit like they want to know which division the club will be in before completing.

Northumbria Police restrict them to 3.5k in the upper tier. Hell on

Imagine it. 2025/26 season, Newcastle are playing home games at Sunderland while their own ground is redeveloped. Newcastle are then drawn to play at home against Sunderland in the FA cup...

SBR added Bellamy and Robert to a side that had national captains of England, Wales, Eire, NI, Greece and Peru. Full of character and heart, just needed finesse. Dalglish signed almost all of them so however bad his time was, some credit for the players brought in is due. Some.

Looks like Liverpool away a week before, then a clear midweek either side, so the straws I was clutching are all gone

Don’t suppose it’s being played between champs league games and city away to Liverpool or owt?

https://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2015/12/06/england/premier-league/newcastle-united-football-club/liverpool-fc/2043207/ Thats our our only win in his time, before he had put his own stamp on the team. We owe him for all the other results over the years, only chance would be the cup now...

Would we fancy a cup final vs Liverpool in Klopp’s last ever match with them? The build up and coverage would be unbearable, but imagine a win!

I would love hearing Paul Daniels do Phil Daniels part in Park Life! You’ll like this...not a lot!

https://www.insideworldsoccer.com/2011/02/nicklas-bendtner-scores-10-out-of-9-in.html ‘Recently, Arsenal use psychological tests to determine their players' mental abilities in relation to their footballing qualities and Bendtner is certainly not lacking in one area. Psychologist Jacques Crevoisier, interviewed by Swedish magazine Offside, said: "One of the categories is called 'self perceived competence,' i.e. how good the player himself thinks he is. On a scale up to 9, Bendtner got 10! "We have never seen that before. (Assistant manager) Pat Rice was sitting next to me and couldn't stop laughing.‘

And the fifth goal, Shola with an assist for Nolan’s hat trick goal - big Sho fucks off in the other direction to take the crowds applause while the whole team jump on Nolan. Brilliant. Mental. Glad this video was posted, needed something like it. Now fast forward to kick off ffs

Part of me wasn’t looking forward to Trippier vs Clarke given current form. Livramento might be a better bet to stop their most dangerous player?

Chris Holland looked a great prospect in his few first team appearances before some bastard through ammonia (?) in his face. Struck a ball very much like Gazza did, remember one or two 100mph looping crosses from the right. Poor kid could have been sending them in for Sir Les and Big Al a year or two later

Hoping we have a 4th round tie between the city and villa games mind
