Not surprised at all at the figures above for Interceptions, Tackles won, ball recoveries and Aerials lost. He's as soft as shite.

Longstaff lacks one thing no manager will ever be able to coach into him. Aggression. Same thing applies to Jacob Murphy. I'd love to see both of their duelling stats.

Newcastle are lining up a £25million transfer swoop for 19-year-old Juventus centre-back Dean Huijsen, who is currently on loan at Roma.

Absolutely hate the NUFC circle badge. It looks like a 5 year old did it on an Etch A Sketch.

Then we'll just need the Clap Clap Song and Glory Days by Springsteen!

It was pretty much an instant success. Decent article on it if you can bear the Chronicle website https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-adidas-grandad-kit-18586343

Beating Man Utd on the 4th March 1996

Agreed, he's going nowhere until September regardless of how much they offer. Howe's comments about his knowledge of our summer plans allude to this too.

That's not the second verse, it's a different song. We had a similar version. Bring on your Rangers, Hibs and Celtic etc.

Songs were a lot more localised back then. There was hardly any football on the telly, unlike today, when every song is pinched straight away because it's been broadcast on Sky/TNT.

I started going in 1980 and it was staple. The only other team I remember signing it back then were Boro. Swapping United for Boro obviously!

Dave Beasant's wasn't it?

I can't remember where I read the link, but after a bit of YouTube scouting I remember thinking "he's the Joelinton replacement." He's the same build but a lot more skillful. Saibari at PSV.
