Still great to watch though. Nobody called them the Invincibles or the All Conquering Newcastle did they.

Interesting snippet from the weekly "Ornstein on Monday" Athletic column. 

 

The loudest voices in talks regarding Newcastle are believed to have been sides whose chances of success towards the top of the table may be threatened by their new-found financial clout and those whose hopes of survival could diminish at the opposite end as one of their potential relegation rivals prepare to spend big. Clubs with female CEOs (Everton, Leicester City and West Ham United) are claimed to have shown the strongest moral compass, while Burnley have also been vocal.

Now we know how you tick...I

 

Football aint just about the arrogance behind just winning...Look at the 100k of fans & 1000s of players who actually make the Bbone, are Salt of the earth,

of our 4 proffesional leagues ,But loyally support /Play for their club, without an inclining of winning anything...

We  ourselfves Love Remembering various periods of our entertainers....Pur Own history should Keep us in that humble Package our owners try to radiate

throughout Club & adopted city...

 

Snidey point Scoring doesn't cut it, if one understands our One ethos & History ( of ups & downs)

We are the last fan-group that can get cocky.

They got the nickname from the media. However, the Newcastle side of the 90s were always a great watch for the neutrals. They were useless in defence. To be fair, the Spurs side under Ossie Ardiles (they played 4 strikers!) were also great to watch going forward. Absolutely useless in defence which was quite weird as they had Sol Campbell and a decent keeper in Walker. 
 

Newcastle of the 90s were probably a very good defender and a top goalkeeper away from winning something. Alongside in game management when they should’ve seen out 1-0s and 2-0s.

But does need to be higher of course.

with such high jab rates in germany and italy, how come we haven't heard about all the dead or infirmed footballers ????

I'd genuinely lose respect for Gray if he scored past us and didn't celebrate hard. This not celebrating business is so superficial. There was one lately that was absolutely ridiculous, can't think who it was.

 Gray would definitely celebrate a goal against us.

 

I agree that players should celebrate but there are levels.

 

Fryatt getting a great reception with Hull and then being a cnut infront of the Kop springs to mind.

By all means enjoy the moment with your team mates or new fans etc

Sorry I meant the supposed concerns footballers are having about taking the vaccine - not in general .

 

Obviously 68% of players don’t have any doubts which is great .

 

Personally as a CEV person I was ready to be first in the queue pretty much to have the jab and looking forward to the booster (if I am eligible to have it ..) !

Images of the Burnley CEO trying to talk on the conference call while you can hear a Gravelly voice in the background shouting "DID YOU TELL THEM IT'S TOO MANY POUND NOTES?" in the background.

Kamal Sowah getting to play against the best teams in Europe in the CL , so a very good move for him. We never really gave him a chance did we.

Seeing as he's not the sharpest tool in the box he'd probably celebrate in front of us because he thinks he still plays for us whereas we'd all think 'fvckin hell he's gone full Adebayor'.

As an Arab, I see no issues with it and I find it hilarious and refreshing even. Lots of Middle Easterns I know feel the same way as me. How about they tackle actual racism instead of something like this?

Context is important aswell. Seems the intention from Newcastle fans is quite innocent, they're donning the garbs of their clubs new owners - not in effect to take the piss, separate or make a mockery of; they're just simply showing their support and having fun.

 

Is anyone offended?

[knitro]

There's something immensely satisfying reading all the wild flailing of Man U pundits and fans this week - they've been thrown into complete disarray and disbelief after the 4-2 result. Nowhere in their estimations however is that Leicester might actually be a good team.

I don't think it is, the fitness might be. Still reckon they'd do the current Newcastle team even having been on the lash the night before.

I watched the infamous Liverpool vs Newcastle game from that season during lockdown and I couldn't believe how bad it was and that was a game between two title challengers! Technically modern footballers are so much better.

This is isnt the place to get political, but if people have " supposed" concerns about getting vaccinated why can't you just respect their viewpoint?

I felt the same when watching the England v Scotland rerun from Euro 96 during lockdown last year, it was really poor.

True. But It'd be more acceptable if they didn't just use their tea-towels from the kitchen.

 

Still shameless though.

Yeah, that was another eyeopener.
