Newcastle purchased by PIF Media and everyone else: "By continuing to support the club you're really just endorsing every misbehaviour of KSA" Newcastle supporters: "I know it's a complex issue but there are a great many other links to KSA well established in other sports and through the UK government and other private ventures, should these be considered in the same way or are you being contradictory?" Media and everyone else: "That's whataboutism, you're just dodging the issue" Chelsea FC seized by UK Government Media and everyone else: "WHATABOUT NEWCASTLE!"

This spreadsheet is going to be an absolute menace to maintain once we're top of the league. I can see it now. Five years from now ... Gemmill: Here man, we're mathematically safe from relegation AND top of the league. Don't make me come down to Boldon and spin on your knob. (editor's note: sorry I can't keep up with the meaning of half the north-east slang you use in your attempted come ons to CT but I think I've got the gist of it.) *posts spreadsheet with all 20 teams on it as further foreplay*

I think I'm falling in love with Joelinton

I mean I only said that to avoid hurting your feelings.

Meeting Transcript Mrs Storey: "We're cutting you off." William: "#Business" Mrs Storey: "FFS"

Jeff Hendrick to Jeddah FC for £200m is definitely on.

Neither of them can make an actual fist properly. It looks like a pair of tramps arguing over a bottle of meths.

I prefer to use my eyes to judge how a team has played but there is much more to a game than the final score. The likes of xG can be a useful tool in explaining that to those who know fuck all about football e.g. Gemmill.

Remember when he called out some Sunderland podcast fellas for a charity boxing match? Then it turned out one of them was some Irish lad was a cage fighter Still sorting out the details on that one

didn't edwards come out with some shit about us only having 50m to spend in january too, for us only to then spend almost double that? the pragmatic ambition rather than superstar signings is good to hear. it worked in january. i would be very happy to see a smilar budget spent and the same strategy we used to identify players. four out of the five signings have been excellent. there's only wood who has disappointed in terms of goals scored and we were desperate when we signed him

I have to admit, I’m not terribly confident about the new signing.

That's your warning, CT.

I think we tried everything, ignore functions, dialogue, the odd warning etc but ultimately he was on the wind up more than he wasn’t - or that might be paying him too much credit politically, who knows? I quite liked talking guitar with him and he’s not bad with the football chat but ultimately when it comes to quite important threads like the Ukraine thread or politics playing a contrary edgelord almost constantly sharp gets on people nerves. Especially when the issues are very real & effect people emotionally. We’re at the back end of a pandemic & in between that there is a deadly war in Europe. People are watching atrocities on tiktok. Some of the issues are quite close to people’s heart, we’ve all suffered during the pandemic. We’re watching people suffer in a war we can do very little about personally. So after poking that bees nest over & over its a surprise it took this long. Yes we’re cliquey but there’s a good reason why. It’s because people generally get on, even those that disagree regularly. It’s sad he couldn’t keep his proclivity to provoke unnecessary, pointless argument under control but overall I don’t think it’s a great loss to the board. We’ve never really had a banning culture, people have to really try our collective patience & a decision has to be agreed with, if anything we’re too soft.

He could have done but, unless we organise a friendly with Sunderland, we’re unlikely to come up against anyone of the calibre of Fiji any time soon.

I wonder how vocal the journalists mentioned in that article have been on human rights in the UK? There's a certain part of the UK not far from where Delaney and Glendinning were born where until very recently it was illegal for the gay community to marry, adopt or even donate blood. Women's access to abortion is still pretty much not available. I could be very wrong but I don't recall hearing much about these issues from then? Then again the average punter isn't concerned about something so unfashionable so why should they be bothered about it. They can stick that piece of whatabouterism up their arse sideways.

If it's with Joelinton I'll think about it

Is this an ad for currys?

The fucking state of that man. Here’s a reminder of his fighting prowess:

Didn't realise that Wing Chun was a type of martial art. I just assumed he was starting trouble in the local Chinese for free chips.

Typical deluded sportswashed GEORDIE SCUM marra, lower than rats

Well I hope all those taking the piss are well and truly proud of themselves.

Pretty sure Rayvin is on record as saying that no flesh penis is either big or hard enough for him when it comes to pegging, which is why let Dave get away with Thailand as the location for his rod-based humour.

Aye Wood was a make do, rather than a make waves signing. Thing with Edwards' piece that seems be overlooked is that this is the projection as things stand. IF we were to announce a shirt sponsor for £10m a year, plus a sleeve sponsor for £2m, an official airline partner, training ground sponsor, academy sponsor and so on. We could dramatically widen the FFP wiggle room and spend more than the suggested £60m. Plus funds raised by player sales, as there's surely only a handful of players that are definitely staying around. Bruno, Burn, Trippier... ASM, Joelinton?

The number of expected gardening advices (xG) in this thread is vastly increasing.

That was Caulkin, and I think at the time of publication it was accurate. But then things got desperate. I'm not remotely worried about this story though. They'd be absolute idiots to say "we're coming to the table with a £200m summer budget" because of the message it sends any club that we're trying to buy from. I fully expect us to spend north of £60m. Even if we don't though, that would be £150m from two windows, which would still be pretty ambitious with more to come.

there is value in lots of stats but xG is a load of football hipster, low block, double pivot shite

Ooooooh, look at me, I'm Rayvin and I understand EeeeEeeeverybody's point of view. Pathetic. Pick a side, you pervert.

I bet you've read all Jeremy Clarkson's books. Which was your favourite? "If you'd just let me finish..." "For crying out loud" "Really?" Those book titles are a masterclass in tell me you're a cunt without telling me you're a cunt btw.

Seem to remember you being in the xG dismissal crew last week. 🤔 But now you LIKE stats, do you, YOU LITTLE FUCKER!?

Remember when they emulated the Michael Jordan announcement when he returned? Every day they reach new levels of pathetic.

Another victim of woke cancel culture. Which is nice

it's fucking hilarious winding her up: Me: "I bet you can't end a convo without having to have the last word?" Her: "Yes I can" Me: "Just proved you can't" Her: "No I didn't"

Edwards has lost any inside track on information since his bacon sarnie buddy was shipped out. This story may turn out to be roughly correct as it doesn't take a genius to understand that we do have to take FFP into account but very few people were expecting us to suddenly be in the market for Neymar and Mbappe despite what some of the southern press would like to make people believe. An outlay of around £60m along with additional funds from sales could easily add three £25m-£30m players to the squad which could improve us massively. Then there's free transfers on top of that. Of course the big difference now as oppose to the last 15 years is that if we have a budget of £60m it won't also include the wages and other fees meaning that we can only afford one £20m player.

It’s Luke Edwards so I’m going with it being completely made up bollocks.

I do say that tbf.

Hey cunt face, I'd started writing a response saying "he's an intelligent man, of course he respects xG", but you can get back in your rang and bone cart and stick that up your arse now. Unbelievable.

Feeding them well at the Shelter these days

haven't even read the article yet, but I'm a 100% certain I'm gonna agree with every word of the above. furthermore, if the caller outer happened to be a born for the first time, frothing at the mouth supporter of human rights mackem, I'd deliberately go out me way to antagonise the cunt further.
