Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cherries

The problem with the Burn selection is he's the only LB option that allows us to play Trippier in a more advanced role. In possession we set up with 3 players back, Schar, Botman and Burn playing as a back 3 with Trippier essentially a winger. Livramento isn't disciplined enough to play the Burn rol...

Re: Other Clubs Transfers/Rumours/Wishlist

Won't they just end up breaching it again next year though and get another points deduction like what's going to happen with Everton?

Surely they got to do something about it at some point u less they want to be 10 points down every season.

Re: The Match Tickets Thread

What did Man Utd fall to, just the ST ballot? It's possible, but then you'll have unlimited members going for 500 remaining tickets so good luck with that... Needless to say I missed out on the Forest ballot, but setting off to Villa shortly. Arsenal's dropping from 15 points later but not doing th...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

If we got a decent offer for Trippier I'd be tempted. He's been a fantastic player for us but he's 34 and has started showing signs of decline. I'd imagine he'd be one of the higher wage earners at the club so it would aid the FFP concerns. With the great progress Tino has shown we already have a mo...

Re: The Match Tickets Thread

You can't have loyalty points if you don't have a season ticket I didn't renew my season ticket for the 19/20 season and I lost all my loyalty points even though I kept a membership throughout the time I didn't have a ST. When I luckily managed to get a ST again at the start of last season I had to ...

PGMOL have released a statement saying the Liverpool disallowed goal was onside and VaR failed to intervene.
Nice that Liverpool are finally getting a taste of what it's normally like to play against Liverpool.

They've had enough dodgy decisions go in their favour the past few years.

Re: 2023-24 Champions League!!!

We've just managed to get Stanstead to Dortmund for £40 each on the Monday and Cologne to Stanstead for £30 each on the Wednesday.

Paris was a bit more expensive, just over £200 for trains from Newcastle to London and Eurostar to Paris. Cheaper than flights though.

Can't wait now though!

Re: 2023-24 Champions League!!!

Glad the first game is away as I'm on holiday then. Was worried I was going to be paying £55 for nothing. Poor planning but we've had it booked before we qualified for the champions league.

Going to try and get to the Dortmund and Paris away games.

Does anyone know when the dates for the games are confirmed. Eager to get some flights booked.

Re: Football Titbits

There's an easy solution. Mic the ref and the VAR and play the audio as part of the broadcast like they do in Rugby. You can hear the conversations between the referee, his two assistants and the TMO, which means even if you don't agree the decision you can at least hear their thought process and se...

Re: Other Clubs Transfers/Rumours/Wishlist

If the rumours are true, what he's done is a hell of a lot worse than Toney. Probably looking at a lifetime ban from football and jail time.

Re: The Match Tickets Thread

When does City go to members? The game is in 5 days time and it's still on ST sale only. Obvs it might not make it, but seems they've given it a long run on ST holders only. It won't go to members, no away games will. They're dropping them by 10 loyalty points every day and then they've kept some b...

Re: We Are Newcastle United (Amazon Prime Video)

It was a good watch and an interesting insight into the boardroom dynamic and ambition of the club. Though if you're not a Newcastle fan I don't think you'd keep watching it as everyone is too conscious of the cameras being there and it comes across a bit staged at times. Also you can tell Howe wasn...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Villa

Buendia, Ramsey and Moreno being out is a massive bonus. This three and Watkins ripped us apart at Villa Park back end of last season. Buendia was great against us pre season as well. This could be a good time to play them. I fancy us to win today, atmosphere will be great with it being first game o...

Re: 2023/24 Season Predictions

I don't think the champions league will have too much of a negative impact on league position, especially if we go out in the group stage. It'll only be 6 extra games and with the new signings plus the improvement of Anderson, we've pretty much got two very capable starting midfields and attack. A l...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

I'm bit concerned about lack of strikers. Isak and Wilson will do the job. If we pick up injuries then both Gordon and Joelinton are expirienced in that role and more than capable.

Re: The Match Tickets Thread

Whole system seems madness. I get that different areas of the stadium have different price categories but why not have separate ballots, choosing which to enter by price category. For example a ballot for category 2 seating (guessing that'll be the £44 areas) a ballot for category 1 seating and a ba...

Re: Oooooo Harvey Barnes, Deal agreed?.. Harvey Barnes.

I reckon he'll be a great signing.

I don't really buy the not as exciting narrative either. I find goals a lot more exciting than step overs.
