Newcastle United, League Cup Winners 2025 - The Party Never Stops

Alexander Isaksson used to be a Swedish goalkeeper. He was pretty decent -
Done a few in my time that would have benefited from being bag tidy

Bang tidy, rather than bag

Saw it the other day, Salboy and Domis are Fred Done also known as Bet Fred. There is a cluster around there of ever taller shinier blocks going up. More housing is never a bad thing but 99% of the development of Manchester is happening within the relatively small footprint of the “city centre” Its decent for us in a personal way cos we are 1 train stop (7 minutes) out of town, and our house price has gone mental in 4 years because of the older town dwellers wanting more space for kids etc, but hardly any fucker (see younger people who want to be in town) can then afford to buy these flats. So they end up as rentals and young kids who want to be in town get fleeced by the landlords. Work wise we are working on two high rises at them moment and the building safety act is a right pain in the arse so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lot of developers stay away from high rise for a while until it settles down.

All the lads were class, but burn and Joelinton were fucking everywhere. Unbelievable from the pair of them. Im only just 40 and never thought I would see the day, to do it against those cunts as well.

I have a proper British bulldog, she’s 9 now. Which is pretty old for the breed. Her eyesight is going and she’s a bit thick. Shes soft as shite with me, my family and even friends toddlers who visit because she knows them. Every single time we have a workman or someone in the gaff, she kicks right off. She’s a barrel of muscle and I have to make a concerted effort to control her. My dog has been raised in a loving house where she has had everything she could ever want, the attention she needs and the exercise she needs and sometimes she is a hand full for me who has had her since she was 12 weeks old. I don’t like breed blaming cos any dog can go for someone, small terrier types are the worst in my experience. But the xl bully was bred by knobs for knobs and have no legitimate need to exist.

Nah, he’s looked alright at best. He wouldn’t get a game at any other club chasing Europe. We need to be more ruthless if we are to keep progressing.
-
I can’t be arsed to go through the stats but I would bet that during the good run, where Dubravka made such a difference. He hardly had a shot to deal with, and the rest of the team played well, comparatively to the games that Pope has played. Now you could argue that Dubs made the rest of the team play well, but I would disagree.
-
Haven’t even see the goals from last night tbh, been busy. Pope should play, he’s the better goalkeeper overall imo. He’s not in good form which is different, he will only get into good form by playing. Honestly think the recent performances from the whole team are down to tiredness and lack of options. Our first team can give anyone a game when they play well, but due to injuries, inability to spend and lack of quality in squad players, the majority of our first team have played most games.
-
People need to stop counting lascelles in the discussions in future squads, he’s fucking dog eggs. Would be one of the first out the place if I had my way. If ends up starting any games for us next season it’s a lack of planning. Don’t mind if he stays around for the vibes or whatever but deffo shouldn’t be actually playing for a team chasing Europe in 2025
-
Honestly I didn’t expect this. So next year on contract we have pope, dubs and the Argonaut? The swindle, will probably leave. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ruddy stayed on as a training keeper. There are reports that Trafford is incoming (very happy with that btw, he will be future England no1). Maybe he gives pope, dubs and trafford a run at each other and see who comes out on top for starting? It’s not a bad thing to have more good players, if we can afford it.

Not even the worst I’ve done. Got sent of within 4 minutes of my debut once -
Agree with most but Ruddy will stay, he’s a training goalkeeper on (relatively) small wages. See Scott Carson at city for example. Dubs should leave and Trafford/another goalkeeper to come in to replace/push Pope. Would also keep Longstaff, he’s gets a lot of stick but to replace him would cost more than we could get for him. Plus homegrown at club.

Most of the southerners you saw today probably live in Manchester tbh mate. It’s like little Clapham when you walk around the northern quarter now, I know it’s rich coming from me from Boro. But anyone who has a clue moves out of boro obviously. One of my best mates down here is mad city, always has been but doesn’t go anymore. Hasn’t since they changed stadium, that’s my worry for our fans in future.
-
They can just go out and buy a player in January that cost the same as our record signing. Not saying we haven’t been shite either, both are true.
