There is nothing good in Sunderland.

Personally, I quite like Andersen. He would see his signing well. He doesn't seem like a very different footballer to Schar to me and I think that what these graphs basically tell us is that Schar is better in the opposite area because we have scored more goals in his corner shots. The other details are a little lower than those of Schar, but that can also be understood because it is not the same to play in a Newcastle that has been 4th than in a Crystal Palace, due to style of play. I think he could be an interesting signing to be the third centre-back and to play now that Schar is not here. Another option would be to spend a lot of money on a top center back and already trust him as part of the future with Botman and leave Schar in a secondary position. (Everything will depend on the severity of his injury).

It's not official yet, but I've been told that Atletico Madrid is very close to announcing Riyadh Air as a new sponsor for the club's jerseys. Riyadh Air is a new airline created this year by Mohammed Bin Salman (our owner through PIF). So it would not be unreasonable for him to become one of our sponsors in the future (I understand that it is difficult because they could allege conflict of interest and illegal injection into the club, but officially we are owned by PIF and not by Bin Salman). I don't know how much Atlético will receive, but its last sponsor gave about 40M pounds a year to wear it on the chest.

@LongTimeAdmirer We will get some ASM replica shirt from DhGate to his new team in SA. You can be sure.

A player with outstanding qualities. He was too good for us on our worst days, but maybe he was missing something to fit in now that we have better days. Damn injuries didn't help him adapt too much in this year and a half. Anyway, all this doesn't matter to me. A special boy is leaving. And I'm not going to talk about football now. Maybe I do it because I'm a tribune/popular with the fans, but I insist, I don't care. From the first day he seemed in love with the city, with the community, with the club. He seemed involved with growing this team that was dead under Ashley's clutches. He never had a bad gesture, he always seemed kind to the fans, affectionate and careful with all the details of the club. A boy who seemed nice and was key to the good group in the squad. And his farewell message couldn't be better. At least I'm going to miss him a lot.

All geordie socks in the same link. And I guess you can buy 3 pairs in a pack https://gambea.com/calcetines/geordies/

Respect the myth

Same vibes

A friend just gave me these socks. It's from a Spanish company that makes tribute socks and these specifically are from Alan Shearer. Since they don't have licenses, they can't put their name on them, or make them even more faithful or similar, and only 8Bits make them. At the moment almost all of them are characters from the Spanish League, but now there are also some from England and we have Alan Pardew, Jonás an Tioté as well. https://gambea.com/calcetines/

@Polarboy

Totally agree. He has been at a very high level in the Spanish League for about three years. Being very important in teams at the bottom of the table and scoring important goals. To make a parallel, in recent years it has been like when we had Rondón under Rafa's command, he alone generated all the danger above. And that has earned him to go with the Spanish team, where he seems to be in a magical and fortunate moment. If he hadn't signed for Real Madrid, he would surely have ended up as the starting forward for a team like Sevilla, Real Sociedad, Villarreal or Valencia, all of them with aspirations to finish in the top 5-6 in Spanish football. . But if you told me 4 years ago that he is going to hit this year in his career, I would have called you crazy.

I refuse to think that this is the same Joselu who played with us.

I don't really know if he's working with the club. Officially, I think nothing has been announced. A few days ago, it was announced that she would do a kind of meeting-clinic in the US, so maybe that's why she was with the guys on tour. Perhaps we will find an official announcement around the corner, if they decide to give him a position. Or maybe they're just doing this to bring everything to do with the club to that sense of belonging that we didn't have with Ashley (like they've done with Shola). https://experience.jugo.io/newcastle-event-meet-shay-given

Because for them, buying for 150 or 300M is like one day I am deciding between buying a loaf of bread or two. And the best part is that according some media, Al Hilal let him go free to Real Madrid in 2024.

If he doesn't go out on loan and stays with the team, I think we can be very surprised at what Anderson can bring to the table.

There are much more off-market operations than Saint Maximin's that concern the Premier League in recent years, but those are not going to be investigated: Enzo and Rice for 105M Anthony for 90M Maguire for 85M Kepa for 80M Pepe for 75M Pulisic for 65M Ndombele for 60M Naby Keita for 60M Cucurella for 60M Onana for 50M Cunha for 45M Matheus Nunes for 45M Pedro Porro for 37M

Here we go.

I can't believe I wrote in Spanish ahahahahaha Sorry. Should be the 40º we have in Madrid today.

Realmente no se puede confiar en mí en este tema porque no seré nada objetivo con este jugador. Me gusta mucho ASM. Aunque se pase todo el año lesionado. Incluso si la mayoría de sus regates no son efectivos. Aunque nunca pase el balón. Aunque después de todas sus jugadas maradonianas elige mal la última acción. Aunque, cuando está en la portería vacía y listo para anotar, su cinta Gucci se cae, cubre sus ojos y dispara al poste. Es un jugador carismático que eligió estar aquí cuando nadie lo hubiera hecho. Que eligió venir aquí a pesar de que podría haber optado por lugares mejores y que ahora está pasando por un mal momento. Pero a la que no me gustaría darle la espalda. Creo que tiene potencial para ser diferencial y que cuando tenga todo en su lugar puede ser un jugador increíblemente bueno al más alto nivel. No sé si alguna vez lo conseguirá. Pero quiero intentarlo. No hace falta decir que sus mejores partidos son en grandes escenarios y ahora llega la UCL. PD: En cuanto a Barnes, poco puedo decir. Realmente no he visto un juego de Leicester en un par de años.

You can use that picture when you need me. 🤣

I'll answer this even though I don't like to get into controversial topics too much, but I'm just going to give information that I think is important for people to understand in order to understand the situation and make their own judgement. It is very difficult to seal a man guilty of rape. Only 1.3% of world cases end with the man as the culprit. Because? Because they are usually just testimonials, one against the other. In the case of Mendy, the court has charged him 'Not Guilty', which is not the same as 'Innocent'. Innocent means that you have done nothing and that there is evidence to prove it. 'Not Guilty' means that there are indications that you are guilty and there are indications that you have done something wrong, but they cannot really be proven or the evidence has been presented after the deadline, or in a wrong way in court or simply they are not strong enough. (To get an idea, Greenwood has also been declared a 'Not Guilty' free man and I think we've all seen the videos where he beats up her wife and the audios where he threatens to kill her). Or we have seen how Robinho has a final sentence to go to jail in Italy for raping a woman, but he has fled to Brazil, how Santi Mina has a sentence to go to jail for raping another woman, and has not entered. Fooball Leaks revealed many years ago the contract that Cristiano Ronaldo made to a woman for raping her in the US and the money he paid her to drop the accusation. Are they innocent men? No. But they have not served their sentence for different reasons. (In fact, CR cannot enter the US today for fear of going to jail). For example, Derrick Rose (NBA Player) was accused of rape many years ago by two women and, after many trials, he was able to prove his innocence and be found 'Not Guilty'. I have not followed Mendy's case too closely, and here I am going to give my opinion (which is useless, but it is my position and what I believe without having any evidence) but it seems very strange to me that 8-10 or 12 women on different dates and who do not know each other have denounced the player. I think that in a while, something will happen to him again (in fact, he went to prison because when he was being investigated, he invited women to his home despite the fact that he was prohibited from doing so by the UK court).

Renan Lodi, about whom it was said we were very interested last summer (for around €30M that Atlético was asking for) has just arrived at O Marseille for €13M. A dodged bullet.
