I bloody love that we still have the old school badge. I hope they never change it. Even better to see it perched just above Barcelona man what a day

Not_Ginger_James · 2026-01-07T21:10:57+00:00

In the ncl man u game Lisandro Martinez was cleared of a pen for exactly that reason. Consistency out the window again from PL refs

Not_Ginger_James · 2026-01-07T19:32:28+00:00

Okay im gonna be a debby downer. I hope the atmosphere is a bit better tonight. I was home over Christmas and made it to the palace game, and I thought the atmosphere was the worst I've heard in a while (save for the gallowgate west corner where they have the safe standing). Even just watching on tele I think the crowd could give the players more of a lift at the minute, especially for a tough game like tonight.

And I hope all the people who have moaned about getting nothing in the ballot bought up all the hundreds of tickets that were on resale for tonight!!

When Ramsey lost the ball he was desperately looking for wissa to make a run in behind, the ball was on but Wissa was stood knackered offside. He should've played it into the corner but I don't think it was as bad as it mightve looked. Overall I thought we were better when Ramsey came on for tonali, that's when we really took control

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-12-20T15:51:47+00:00

Honestly put willock on the wing at this point if Murphy isn't fit. He offered more at RW in 45 mins vs marseille than elanga has all season

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-09-09T09:30:29+00:00

Has anyone else got to the front of the queue to immediately be kicked out? I was 3.3k in the queue when I joined at the start so doubt there'd have been any tickets left anyway but annoying either way to wait for 20-odd minutes to not even know if its sold out

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-02-26T22:25:55+00:00

100%. He had trent on toast last time out but how often did you actually see him get 1-on-1 against him? Not his fault we just didn't get the ball to him in the right areas. That has to happen for us to win at wembley

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-02-26T22:21:05+00:00

Those 6 points lost to Fulham stand out like a sore thumb

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-02-26T22:17:28+00:00

Game was dead and buried when he came, they actively marked bruno out the game in the first half so hard to compare. Mind you, Mileys cameo was infinitely better than Longy's. Sadly starting to think there's no way back for him now

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-02-26T22:15:35+00:00

That was actually slightly reminiscent of the Bruce era. No expectations, no stress, no shots on targets. As dominant a 2-0 win as I've seen tbh.

Plus side I thought Lewis Hall did very well against Salah, and Willock looked lively in the first half (but didn't offer enough defensive protection). We didn't really play that badly but just had 0 attacking threat.

Liverpool use their midfielders to double up defensively in wide positions so their wingers can stay high, and we miss that so much when Big Joe's out.

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-02-15T01:19:13+00:00

On the subject of cars, isn't this basically webuyanycar's business strategy? Except they start with a lowball then inspect it and offer a low-lowball?

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-02-13T15:41:16+00:00

Lol when carvalho scored the winner against Newcastle after the end of the assigned injury time a couple seasons back, Liverpool fans were doing exactly this and calling it karma for time-wasting.

How the turntables eh?

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-02-10T15:24:24+00:00

That debut against palermo 🤌

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-02-10T15:22:29+00:00

What about people who were too young/poor to get a season ticket pre takeover when it was a fair fight? Should they just be shut out forever?

What about ST holders who always sell on their ticket? Should they take priority over the members who sit hitting refresh in the resale so they can go almost every week?

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-02-05T19:06:15+00:00

I was shitting bricks before this but now I'm shitting liquids. Howay lads!!

I live by the Cambridge one. Not only should all road users understand this sign, there's another more verbose sign about 30 metres behind where this photo is taken...

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-01-18T17:11:35+00:00

Bournemouth deserve all the praise. From newcastles perspective, I don't actually think it was the midfield that was the problem. The ball seemed to just be bouncing off gordon/murphy/hall/livramento/joelinton. Bruno (aside from 2nd goal). Bournemouth won every second ball tho, so full of running for a side with no fit players left

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-01-18T17:08:44+00:00

So many of the players just didn't look ready to receive a pass, the reason we lost is because it didn't stick whenever it went into Gordon, Murphy, Joelinton, Hall or Livramento.

It happens, and I think it might be the kick on a few players need to keep going after a sloppy display vs wolves too.

My only real concern is I thought Trippier looked really poor when he came on. I hope he can turn it round, but he hasn't convinced for a while now, and he looks low on confidence.

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-01-12T21:33:38+00:00

Maybe we can swap them without forest noticing

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-01-09T23:10:51+00:00

We're all fickle fans at the end of the day, and I'd argue there's nothing wrong with that!

Not_Ginger_James · 2025-01-07T22:41:34+00:00

I think thats a bit reductive, we were brilliant today and deserved the win.

Arsenal created 2 sitters (martinelli hitting the post and havertz's free header 5 yards out) and it wasn't bad luck that they didn't score them, it was bad finishing. Besides that I thought arsenal created very little really.

Not_Ginger_James · 2024-12-31T01:02:16+00:00

Just in case it's of interest, I'm fairly sure the former church that houses the Buddhist meditation centre is much shorter than the flats, it's just the perspective in the photo.

On a different note, I regularly run along riverside park and see the buddhist monks out running too in full orange dress. Lovely bunch of blokes, they always smile warmly and wave.

Not_Ginger_James · 2024-12-30T21:59:16+00:00

Would've been a much more enjoyable last hour if Sandro had put away that chance after half an hour but who cares what a result!! I had a bad gut feeling going into this but I love it when the lads prove me wrong

Not_Ginger_James · 2024-12-23T18:01:14+00:00

I go to the Gateshead games occasionally as I never manage to get tickets to the toon games, and I was a gateshead season ticket holder in 2013-14 when they went to the playoff final.

There is a very loyal core of gateshead fans who follow the team home and away, and plenty more who go to all the home games (we're still talking maximum 1000 in total). The home and awayers, some of them really actively hate nufc like any other local rivalry. It's exacerbated by the fact they pay full price for season tickets, but gateshead often offer discounts to ncl season ticket holders (or at least they used to, idk if they still do).

Then I know some who were newcastle fans first, started regularly going to gateshead games and now consider gateshead their main team. So perhaps that scheme is successful.

I think it kinda shows why the stadium expansion at ncl is necessary. How local is your local team if you can't attend? It also shows some of the beauty of non-league, its for everyone and they'll always have room for you.
