The current Toon squad all live in ex-council maisonettes just outside Garforth I've heard.

Anyone who thinks Newcastle is a shithole vs Southampton needs to get out more. Southampton is a fucking toilet lads. The main advantage for potential players for us is they can live somewhere else very easily which is not quite as true for the North East (although some still commute regardless).

This rumour is absolutely snowballing and no mistake

Where is this "half decent rumour"? Just listed with loads of other clubs as a maybe they're interested. Pretty obvious this morning there was nothing in this whatsoever. If ever there was a rumour that just needed to stay on the standard Transfer Window thread, this was it.

What information has come to light that warrants this level of forum hype? From what I can see he's just as likely to go to Leeds or Everton. And when I say just as likely, I mean we rarely win a transfer race as soon as any other club becomes seriously involved. I don't see rumours "snowballing" I just see us listed with other clubs, one of which he will sign for instead of us.

Well, it's still nil nil.

I'm looking forward to the "well it's still nil nil" optimism at half time.

Potter has finished above Saints and Ralph an entire one time. Their record transfer fee is an astonishing and unimaginable for Saints twenty million pounds. Yes, they look okay for another season but the way people carry on you'd think they are on an unstoppable march to Europe forever now.

Quite. Also, it is an incredibly "entitled" opinion to describe a club that have been in the top flight consistently for the best part of 50 odd years as "shit all my life". Talk about taking things for granted.

If Forest go down then no one can say they haven't had a decent crack at it. If we stay up we'll have done it, yet again, on scraping together the absolute barest of bare minimums.

Christ. That's proper tinpot. You've signed a loanee from a team you finished a couple of places below last year lads. Calm down.

I MEAN FOR FUCKS SAKE SAINTS

And we basically gave VVD away for paltry loose change world record fee for a defender. Sickening.

Only just caught up with this. Honestly feels insane to me. But hey, let's get the sale through quick as you like and then get on with the "well, we couldn't quite get the deal over the line" routine with the replacements. Just like old times. Make sure you get the sale done though Saints. Don't let other clubs ever suffer what we have to.

Would most likely deliver another three seasons of finishing about 15/16th. Clearly competent but a bit dull.

Not really. That would only be an issue if they were skint. They've spent unbelievable amounts on wages and fees, more than enough to win the league and the Champions League.

Watch Match Of The Day from last night you absolute div.

No, you're just wrong to say that there is "no such thing as the league table at the moment". There is, and it's been that way for at least a decade. At least. It gets published from the start, not after three games which is the old way of doing it. Published in papers and on TV and so on. Official on the league website and everywhere. It's not complicated, you're just wrong.

It's just incorrect to say there isn't a league table now. There is, it's here, published on the official Premier League website. Newsflash: It's not 1991 anymore. https://www.premierleague.com/matchweek/7831/table Teams with zero points and zero goal difference are above us in the table. Its not that complicated.

There's no early International Break weekend this season, its not until end of September this time. Basically that feels like an obvious working deadline for any club looking to go early with a manager change. Edit: thats 7 games including homes against Brentford and Leeds plus a couple of aways we should expect to get something from. Would be a fair assessment period for a manager 3 years in.

Such a silly question. Get someone else. Just like Pochettino was someone else once. Just like Ralph was someone else once. He wasn't some universally suggested name on this forum at the time. Adkins wasn't either. Koeman wasn't. They were just someone else. I think Sports Republic have some ideas.

If MLG thinks he can score 15 goals that's a real confidence boost for me because he is across all the stats. Great news for the season👍 👍

OK, whatever. Anyone can say "no one knows" about anything and everything forever. Doesn't really make for an interesting forum. The original exchange was this That post seems a strange reply coming from someone who themselves doesn't actually think we have improved the first team squad.

So you think we have improved the spine of the team but also don't think we're better than last season. Absolutely crystal clear. Well done all involved for our pre-season/transfer activity to get us to this place where we aren't better than last season.

Before anyone replies I'll save you the bother. Livramento Livramento Livramento every young kid we sign is Livramento. Livramento did it so they all will do it. Livramento Livramento Livramento.
