[Albion] Newcastle

[Neville's Breakfast]

A shame that you should think that way, the Newcastle faithul speak highly of you.

Sorry, I hadn’t picked up on the sarcasm of your post.

Of all the club's that could possibly go down, Newcastle would make me the happiest.

I don’t get the dislike of Newcastle, I quite like the fact that they are a one club town and that their fans can hardly be described as glory hunters! If they won something at some point, I wouldn’t begrudge it them at all. Their fans have more than put in a shift over the years and have basically nothing much to cheer for 54 years!

The look on her face is almost the realization that it was her that recommended Newcastle to the Saudis!!!

It does apper like that, but due to surgery, her eyebrows are actually fixed in the "wrong hole!" position.

It is purely due to the current owners of the club on my part. Given that many of the fans were quick to grab a Saudi Flag and wave it, I won't feel sorry for them much if it happens though.

I am sure we'd manage a capacity crowd if our tickets were priced at £10 for all areas.

Not forgetting that the Newcastle fans are still deliriously happy that they've seen the back of a poor employer and replaced him with a brutal murderous regime.

Interesting. Maybe we would sell out our cup games if we charged £10

He may be annoying but that’s extremely harsh on Eddie Howe…..

I like Newcastle as a club, like their fans, and love it as an awayday but I find they new ownership utterly abhorrent so for that reason alone would love to see them go.

 

[highflyer]

In the past I liked Newcastle and their fans.

But having watched their glee and celebration at having their club bought by the Saudi's, wearing tea towels on their heads and waving the Saudi flag whilst singing about beng the richest club in the world etc etc. Watching Shearer trying to paint them as 'victims' who deserve success, no matter how, and by whom it is bought and trying to argue, against all logic, that somehow the sale will make things better in Saudi Arabia...

F*ck em.

Hope the club gets relegated and completely implodes.

So are you happy for them or not, it’s not entirely clear? …..

His face is saying "Liquidate Khashoggi" and her eyes are just plain terrifying!!!

 

[Greg Bobkin]

FFS!

Did I read somewhere that they were also interested in Chris Wood

 

[BN41Albion]

Newcastle itself isn't that big- just over 300,000 so not THAT much bigger than Brighton & Hove. It is part of a very big built up area but that's shared with Sunderland who are another well supported club.

It's more that basically EVERYONE in Newcastle and north of the Tyne supports Newcastle with it being almost inconceivable that you'd support another club

Yep. Problem with us (bar losing a generation of fans through the Gillingham/Withdean era) is being so close to all the London clubs as well as having a hefty chunk of londoners with other alliegiences living in the city. We don't do too bad at all imo considering that

 

[A1X]

Show some empathy.

Poor Eddie Howe was in tears last night.

 

[stewart_weir]

Lose their next two against Watford and Leeds and the new owners may just realise they made a mistake in getting Smug Eddie in.

I’m actually mildly worried about Smug getting the sack. If the Geordies have any sense they will be knocking on the door of GP.

Yep, all over Twitter………

The fans seem to have moved on from signing Mbappe for now.

But it does have an underground

Getting Wood off Burnley’s books (whether he plays much for toon or not) could be highly effective in the hunt for survival in itself, when money is unlimited, this sort of tactic should not be overlooked.
