Newcastle season ticket holder in the Gallowgate, 100+ Away’s and counting. Occasional scribbler for true faith. Views are my own. I own far too many #NUFC shirts.

Id never delve in to the netherworlds of beyond paywall without just cause or desperation not quite there yet.

One of his best mates is Steve Harper who currently works at the club, so he will have inside knowledge.

I doubt it is (but you never know), as I believe they only wore it in two games, once in the premier league against Southampton and in Champions League against Partizan Belgrade.

Chelsea have 75 defenders
Man Utd have spunked their load on Sesko
Liverpool have VVD & Konate
Arsenal have Gabriel & Saliba
Man City have Stones & Dias
Spurs have Van De Ven & Romero

We might actually stand a chance with this one.

I’ve had one previously, but sold it before the carabao Cup final in 2023 and regretted it ever since. I have a small feeling that this one could be matchworn would love to see if I can get an expert to take a look at it.

My latest #NUFC shirt purchase been searching for one of these in my size for roughly 8-9 years. Absolutely magic and definitely wearing first home game of the season

I’ve said to my mates for weeks Jamie Vardy on a free at the end of the window and that’ll be our only signing.

Apropos of nowt, here’s my entire #NUFC shirt collection minus the ones I still have in the bag (sealed) and ones in the wash… 97 counted on the rail.

The only thing I would say is that Craig Hope is the one driving it, which normally means that there is some “truth” to it either coming from the agent or someone inside the club.

The thing is the rumours this summer are that we have 150-200m transfer budget take 10m out of that budget and sink it in to wages, problem solved because we aren’t getting another striker of his calibre with what’s available on the market even if we spend 100m

And what’s that got to do with Newcastle United’s selling strategy?

When did Staveley leave? Nearly a year ago? apparently he was promised a new contract before she left and Mitchell shelved it. The balls in the clubs court firmly and by the sounds of players from interviews today, it sounds like they’re expecting him to be the ere when they get back.

Don’t need any help and if you think we would help strengthen a Premier League team ❌

If doesn’t get what he wants (probably deserves) then I don’t blame him for “exploring options”. Every other world class striker in the world is probably getting paid more than what he is after, I think it’s reasonable. It just blows our wage structure out the water. The balls in PIF’s court.

My thoughts on Isak after a 24 hour cool down period and the facts laid bare

He hasn’t said he wants to leave

He wants to explore options

There are no mentions of clubs he wishes to join

300k a week was banded about 2 days previously by his agent.

I think he’s pushing for a new contract#NUFC

@gavinhaigh.bsky.social I was wondering if you could perhaps help me out with identifying if a shirt is matchworn or not?

If you manage to get tickets again if you email the producers they’ll reserve you seats if you’re travelling far. That’s what we did. I applied for this latest series and didn’t get any.

The Noel Edmond’s taxi episode is one of my favourites, I was in the audience for two of the episodes in the final series.

Chances are if you’ve got the loyalty points you’ve also signed up to the cup scheme and also been to an away cup game. Most if not all regular away trippers that I know are in Pot 1 anyway.

The Mavs trading Luka for AD to strengthen defence is the equivalent of pissing in to the wind judging by tonight #NBA

What I really can’t understand is how we could afford to stump up £70 million for Guehi in August but all of a sudden we’re skint because of PSR. They think we’ve all got “mugs” written across our foreheads
