Just looking at the EPL Twitter account. The profile picture at the top is of Newcastle players with Trippier in the centre......just saying....

I buy my ST to watch Saints play........11 men in red and white stripes. To a degree I don't care which 11 it is as long as they give 100% and make me feel proud. Did I love having VvD, for example, with us? Yes of course. Was I disappointed when he left? Yes of course, but getting £75M eased the pain......just a pity that it was basically wasted. I actually look forward to carrying on with (and improving on) the business model that we have had for a while - sign exciting young talent, enjoy having them as they develop for a couple of seasons, sell for big money, bring the next load in. The days of players staying with clubs for life or most of their careers has gone. I would much rather see exciting, developing young players like Tino etc, than regularly bringing in expensive mercenaries with no real loyalty to the club, looking for their next big payday. Having said all that, would I also like to see that we are still able to have the occasional "one-club man" (JWP?)....oh yes.

Back then, I helped run the Travel Club, and worked in the Club shop on matchdays, and remember hearing a number of times from people that were on the staff at the Dell, that Mr Branfoot was going to make a very good manager Someday.....didn't quite happen...

Gameperiods?

Trippier has broken his foot.....Kharma??

Results coming in....

This and music from the Genesis "Duke" album.

Don't like to go back looking at previous threads, but what a difference a couple of weeks make....

Would be happy with that...

Blimey, yet another expression I need to get used to.....what preferred pronouns I wonder....??

Stop the game and give a free kick then??

RH not involved?

As I was unable to watch the game and nothing was mentioned on MoD, what actually kicked off on the touchline after the Broja foul/Spuds 2nd?

Yeah.....it's Noddy....or summfink.....

I think that he explains the situation in today's presser....can't find a link.

Ahhhh....the old "magic" sponge. I remember it well!

Quite a specific prediction?

Bugger!!

KK is probably a bit past it for us.....

Henderson from Man U to Newcastle apparently....

Out of interest have any of Newcastles postponed games been played or rescheduled yet? Our Brentford one seems to have happened quite quickly...
