The easiest way for them to be known globally is for them to contribute anything to the world. Newcastle is known for the beer, the football team (have been relevant in the PL era, competing in Europe and now are on the upswing again), actors/artists (Sting, Charlie Hunnam, etc etc), coal production (“you could sell coal to a man from Newcastle”). They have being the epicenter for the Cholera outbreak to be fair but that’s about it, I know they like to think their football team is comparable but that’s the stuff of fantasy. The difference between the regions/clubs will show in the media we put out, the Netflix show made them a laughing stock, from a depressed unprivileged town, which they seem oblivious to whereas this Amazon show about NUFC will present the region in a positive light and give the club a positive professional look. Of course they can do it their usual way and just walk around referring to an airport no one gives a fuck about by the wrong name.

They know that’s not what it’s like at all anyway right? I don’t look at every win and see an asterisk about it because the ultimate owners of NUFC are horrible people via a wealth fund. If you applied that type of thinking to every day life you’d be absolutely fucking miserable. The “we have our club back” stuff obviously is because we have an ownership whose goals for the club align with the fan base now, they want success isn’t that the fucking point of football? Of course it’s a hypocritical view since at the base it’s just us wanting out club to be successful, but who doesn’t? Why watch shit football that has no eventual pay off, you do it as a fan but you’d rather watch successful football with amazingly talented players no? As others point out basically no fan base in this country has their club they’re all owned by fucking cunts, are our cunts the worst? Yes, but that asterisk applies to all of them to varying degrees. For example people like Boehly and FSG that own Chelsea and Liverpool, they buy up company’s gut them and sell them on, it ruins peoples lives, as bad as murder, torture, or whatever else SA does? Categorically no of course not but from a moralistic standpoint they’re still horrible and that’s where the money is coming from, it’s hard to draw this line in the sand now when we’ve descended from those hedge fund type owners, to oligarchs, to now nation states, this was the natural progression and football in its greed never tried to stop it. So why not us? If it wasn’t NUFC it would be another club, if you have a strong moral compass and decide you can’t stomach the link with the club so stop following it I respect that, but the mackems are fucking kidding themselves if that’s their entire fan base as well as the fact many still accept these type of hypocritical choices in many other areas of their lives (from the clothes they wear, to their phones, TVs, media they consume etc etc). In short they’re pathetic tbh. Their opinions are absurd and they’re incapable of bridging any sort of gray area because they’re blinded by obsession and hatred of NUFC to a weird fucking level. It’s hilarious watching them tie themselves in knots mind, they can enjoy watching the champagne football they’re getting which has taken them to mid table in the championship, I’ll carry on watching top level internationals go on to play European competitions cheers.

I got some good quality ones recently, as ewerk mentioned it’s normally a bit of a wait and I couldn’t track them. I had to go a size up from what I usually wear.
-
Putting aside absolutely everything else tragic about that advertisement, why have him doing it on his own still in the stadium? Wouldn’t the point be that everyone else was doing it? Fucking hell
-
He says it’s exclusive, are you calling Luke a liar? Even if he’s not the only one it’s a lazy link for me, he’s found himself on the fringes of the squad and he’s tall, Newcastle need a 6/8 and have bought tall players, and the media LOVES trying to help Manchester United shift their fringe players. He’s a tidy enough albeit limited player in his role and he’d cost far more than he’s worth, there’s far, far better available elsewhere and our team knows it.
-
I don’t believe any transfer links from Edwards, he’s clueless. As Alex mentions it doesn’t seem like we’re on good terms with Manchester United in terms of transfers given how they messed us about with both Lingard and Henderson, I’d put this one in the highly unlikely category.
-
Love that show btw. The way they turned the fountain in Trafalgar Square into their own personal toilet/bath it’s not a shock the home of the mackems is a cack smeared disaster.
-
I like that they’re framing it like it’s a problem with the stadium, that very clearly sounds like a problem with the match attending hoarde. As Renton says I’ve never walked into the bogs in SJP and saw shite, bog roll, and piss everywhere, absolute fucking tramps.
-
Honestly man it’s class, a bloke lays it out using a video produced by the club in question and despite that avalanche of clear evidence showing no link whatsoever in walks this cunt with another definitely made up story that must prove a link
-
Why do they even go on about it anyway? Even if it was true, which apparently Athletic themselves say isn’t the case, in what way has it helped Sunderland? They’re genuinely the weirdest fucking fan base around, I’ve never once thought/looked into connections between NUFC and other sides and wouldn’t be particularly bothered short of it being a mildly interesting bit of footballing history, meanwhile they set up supporters clubs, search the archives, and do their usual thing of simply lying about things to create some connection that brings them precisely nothing.

I think Pickfords play with his feet is vastly overrated, he’s really not that good at it it’s not like he’s Allison or Ederson type passing range. He’s incredibly error prone, and he struggles to get up and across to shots which leads to conceding a lot of goals that other keepers would comfortably save. I’d rather have a keeper that can do his job of keeping the ball out the net and while Pope wobbled recently with his comfort on the ball from what I saw earlier in the season Pickford isn’t massively better than Pope with his feet. Pickford isn’t close to Pope for shot stopping imo there’s a huge gap. Pope saves the first goal we conceded against France comfortably, Pickford cost us that game as he has in the past and will continue to do so, on the flip side his supposedly brilliant passing adds nothing to Englands game over the other keepers.
-
Hopefully aye, tbf there’s fucking no point in him going with the England squad Southgate will always go with Pickford for whatever inexplicable reason the stupid cunt has for that.
-
I’m still fucking creasing at this lot, they genuinely have threads going on about how they’re the best attacking side in England and are drawing at home with fucking Luton . Fucking Luton you’ve got to walk through some cunts living room to get into that clubs away end ffs . This lot are absolute fucking bog roll. What an absolute urinal cake of a club.
-
I’ve always had a lot of respect for Conte but he’s massively let himself down there imo. Parts of what he said may be true but he’s put the club in an untenable position, likely turned the players and fans against him, and accepted zero responsibility. I knew at the time it was a shit move for him so he can whinge but it was his stupid fucking choice. While it is hilarious because it’s Spurs his comments are disgraceful imo and I’d be fucking raging if an NUFC manager went in like that. If I was Spurs I’d sack the cunt with no pay out and if he tried to sue I’d say his comments brought his contract into disrepute. As I say I’ve long held him as one of the best managers in the world but he’s been a fucking quitter here iyam, as people say those comments are him asking for the sack & payout - if he wants to leave he should put on his big boy pants and quit rather than being a conniving little bitch. Saying all that hopefully it becomes a fucking night mare and spurs season goes off a cliff.

Big scalp for Sunderland there earning a point at home to the far better Luton.
-
Brilliant
-
But Sunderland have had 55% possession, that’s what really matters to the new age Barcelona.
-
I fucking hate international football .

Their reaction to the game is absurd, they spent the entire game actively trying to injure our players which is a truly fucking disgraceful way to play, the whole time being allowed to do it by the ref and are now acting like they were hard done by in a game we had a perfectly fine goal disallowed and a pretty blatant penalty shout ignored. The commentator repeatedly said it was a very scrappy game but that’s fucking bullshit, one team came to play football and the other looked to spoil. I have no complaints about a team playing spoiler btw (aside from how they tried to injure players - that’s fucking disgraceful and I have zero time for that ugly cunt of a manager after witnessing that) but they cant turn around and try to play victims. As AH says it’s just utter nonsense and I want them to fuck off down, the only reason I’d want them to stay up is that they keep paying us mental money for our fucking shite fringe players.

Fucking tremendous job by Howe, his coaching staff, and recruitment. Whatever happens between now and the end of the season this season has been a giant leap forward and once we have the financial side of the house in order we will be fucking flying.

Kelly Cates saying Isak didn’t mean his first shows the absurd bias in the media. If that was Salah they’d be going on about it for the rest of the season, it was a brilliant finish as he knew it was behind him so he shapes his body so he can get the ball on target - just a great strikers finish. Zlatan-esque tbh since we’re on the trend of comparing Isak to top strikers.
