My name is Chris and I'm a Newcastle United fan

I like other stuff too, but that's not important right now

it's a bit OTT

better than that, I sent them the Succession dvd box-set

did you underline the bit about the laundry??

Hopefully they're being forced to watch west ham and Brentford games right now

yeah, think with Gordon and Elanga we've got our pacey options on the flanks sorted, but now we need to add one or two dribbly technical wingers who can also hold the ball up. maybe Grealish wouldn't have been so silly for a season after all 🤷

There's a growing number of players comfortable on the ball, but there's enough weak links in the chain that pressing causes issues

Hall, Thiaw, Botman, Bruno, Tonali, Woltemade all seem comfortable with the ball in tight spaces, to a degree. Miley and Gordon maybe also. I'd love a dribbly winger.

very much this kind of energy, but with a bit more Kathy bates

I thought they may have figured out by themselves that they should win, but alas no
November 11, 2025 at 5:35 PM
I do feel the bison burden of shame for that one, won't happen again
November 11, 2025 at 5:34 PM
sorry to say I forgot to email them to tell them to win before the Brentford game - an oversight on my part.
November 11, 2025 at 5:07 PM
yep, interested/ watching all of them

so many sayings from nautical origins. so many times I've seen people say "tow the line" by mistake and held my tongue 🙃

from "tack" in sailing I presume?

Hope they don't play him, or alternatively play him a bit for sharpness but not enough to hurt him
November 11, 2025 at 3:13 PM
yeah possibly, hope we can do something anyway.. just starting to get that old City=scary vibe again.

although even when they were on top we still played them to a standstill at our place once or twice.

same to us when we bought him. I hoped Howe would find that consistency of performance with him, and maybe he would've done in the end, but the team did a LOT of work to put it on a plate for Alex.

I was always waiting for a full season from him. He had 10 games per season where he looked better than anyone else in the world, those 10 games usually coincided with when the rest of the team was also playing well. But never saw him push and battle for us to get a win. The sociedad fans said the
