loved this book, excellent stuff

Absolutely, like you, I don't think nufc has ever been anything more than a small to medium sized concern for PIF, but the richer they are the more likely they are to splash their ill gotten gains across all their investments

It might or it might not. PIF won't stuff the proceeds of an oil boom under a mattress though, they'll invest it. Like they did when they bought nufc in 2021 and oil prices were 40% higher than what they were at the turn of this year...

I expect they are pretty pleased about the oil price though...from a 5 year low to a near 20% increase in one weekend. PIF is substantially wealthier today than it was on Friday...

Good piece, clear eyed and without histrionics

TF Match Report - United 2-3 Everton Ed reports on a leaderless, winless, vomit-inducing Newcastle United. Shite.

Ed Cole manages to write an excellent match report from TF without repeatedly writing ‘fucking shite’ - #NUFC

tf1892.substack.com/p/tf-match-r...

Problems in absolutely every area of the pitch. Goalie & defenders making basic errors. Midfield not protecting the back, not creating going forward, attacking press is a mess and forwards miss chance after chance. Big to do list. Yikes. #nufc

Or Woltemade Joelinton rotating LW left sided 8 maybe?

A screenshot from the linked op-ed. It reads: "The administration’s policy on the other hand, is the continuation of the GOP by other means. There are claims, and there are outcomes, connected only by wishes or threats. Whether the enemy is Cuba, Minneapolis or a transgender person, the war is the purpose of the war. Its prizes are nihilism and hatred at best. No greater project awaits an armistice. There are only enemies, victories and different enemies. There is no strategy, because realizing the ostensible macro purpose of each war, besides having it, requires committing to an absurd and criminal totality, because their own rhetorical stakes have demonstrated that nothing less than an American Iran, an American Cuba, a transgender-free nation or a Minnesota with only the correct voters will be acceptable. Carried to their conclusions, you can do one of two things: exterminate the enemy or the treasury and destroy yourself as a nation."

#nufc going deeper in the champions league than Juve, Inter, Dortmund, Napoli, Ajax, PSV... I don't mind it...

Ragged second half performance but perhaps understandable given the circumstances. Extra £9.5m in the coffers for getting to the last 16. Need to beat Everton with a good performance. #nufc

Newcastle United plan major regeneration project alongside new stadium Exclusive: Club will finance new ground but will lobby for public investment in ambitious infrastructure project to modernise entire city

🚨EXCLUSIVE Newcastle United plan major regeneration project alongside new stadium #nufc www.telegraph.co.uk/football/202...

Absolutely mental to make this the first commercial move of the new c-suite. Ugly stuff. Club should protecting and promoting the shared regional culture not trying to ring fence exclusive rights to flog it.

Blades that move like his arms do when he does his wiggly dressing room dance...?

and if we don't make ramsdale permanent, which kindoff feels like we won't at this stage, then we might need two keepers depending on whether pope is happy to be on the bench...

i thought that! looks like David Jason!

YouTube video by BBC Archive 1976: NORTHUMBERLAND accents | Word of Mouth | Voice of the People | BBC Archive

This is lovely. My accent was never as thick as that (and SE Northumberland pitmatic not N. N'land farming country) but the old blokes in the working men's club where I worked sounded similar, with the old Northumbrian 'r' burr. My grandad sounded like the old pitman describes from 9 mins on.

Don't be a wanker! A supporter isn't on the fence about the noise surrounding Eddie Howe!

Steve Blakeney takes no prisoners with a muscular defence of Eddie Howe and some hard words for some of our coach’s harshest critics -

Two goals tonight coming largely from just wanting it more than the opposition. Thiaw pushing his way past defenders to stab it in, Gordon winning a duel and then driving into the box to lay it off. Been a while since we've looked like that...#nufc

BBC websites gone mad. 25mins of injury time and still playing! #nufc
