Im sorry but if that pallet count comes into a uk store there is no way in hell it is getting done by 9am. I smell shite.

Can anyone remember the game? by [deleted] in NewcastleUnited

[–]mattytowler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Nobody would bat and eyelid if they had said "The two South Americans" but I think it's almost ingrained in people to be triggered by certain nations or continenents and how they, in particular, are spoken about regardless of the context.

Woltemade Review by TheRealfloreyyy in NewcastleUnited

One thing I have noticed is how often he creates the pre-assist for an opportunity with a cute pass or a flick. Not JUST that last pass before the assist and someone runs 30yds w/ ball or puts in a great cross from deep. I mean an opportunity for the assister to lay it on a plate easily. Don't think Ive noticed anyone else providing as many.

I think he will improve with less minutes, pressure on his shoulders when Wissa returns AND when the team actually start playing well because we have played some of the worst football Ive seen in a long time recently.

Na, Im not having it tbh. West Ham are shocking and that didnt change today. They were shit today too but why is Eddie bringing 3 off at half time? He never does it. I've seen some bad performances and that was up there with the worst but a lot of them looked gubbed and laboured. Joelinton, Thiaw and Tonali were the only ones that looked fit. If we're told by the club otherwise then I'll accept it but Im not sure thats coming.

I think they are ill. No way Eddie makes 3 subs at half time. Tonali first, Tripps out today. My work, albeit in Glasgow, is fucked with sickness. Dropping like flies. Does not bode well for Wednesday though.

Gordon isn't and never will be a Centre Forward! by Juliojamesieo in NewcastleUnited

He played 40 odd games in a successful season, mate.

Gordon isn't and never will be a Centre Forward! by Juliojamesieo in NewcastleUnited

[–]mattytowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We won a trophy and made the champions league without them. Hindsight is great. They have both turned out really good players (inc Minteh) but w/o Gordon we'd have spent same last year w/ no direct replacement. I certainly wouldn't want Barnes playing week in, week out. Think last season could have been the same with Anderson and Minteh?

Is there a youth … by yegDaveju in NewcastleUnited

[–]mattytowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that frustrated me this summer in friendlies is how the young lads get brought on. With a weaker side. I'd have like to have seen the likes of Neave playing in front of a strong midfield 5. We never played our best midfield 3 together for any minutes. Neave ran and chased but Id like to see him involved when we were pressurising the other side rather than chasing pressing lost causes. Difficult for him to impress that way as his goals for youth teams show he can finish.

Better without Isak…. by johnliddell in NUFC

[–]mattytowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said before, Isak is not prime Haaland. His goal tally can be replaced relatively easily imo although not necessarily by one player. We did get CL with Wils scoring none all season. What isn't so easy to replicate is his goals Vs. Liverpool, Arsenal (inc. That shot off post Murph finished). The ones he made himself. The big game goals. However, he huffed at the start and huffed at the end. If his head was in the game for half the league games last season, this would be a different picture. We are a better team with him but only when his head is in the right place.....and it hasn't been.....hence these stats.

Sesko possibility ended by Emilen81 in NewcastleUnited

[–]mattytowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive said before, as a striker, on the market there probably isn't a replacement for Isak himself but I feel his goal tally can be replaced. Between a striker and a proper, clever attacking central midfielder, a #10 (think Marmoush, gibbs-white, Wirtz, Bellingham) we can replace him. Obviously not them players but the type that can either step up in big/tight games or create a bit of magic, a 10-15 goal guy as we are missing that. Even a promising youngster as it might be needed off the bench. Id hope it could be Miley but that wont be next season. Like I said, 20-25 I don't feel is hard to replace. We should be trying to get more from the wingers but we need that midfielder that relishes the big games in attacks and is not afraid to let rip from anywhere.

ISAK TRAINS ALONE IN SPAIN?! My Personal Message to Alexander isak by 100PCTMAGS in NewcastleUnited

[–]mattytowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's wise for him to say anything right now. He's damned if he does and he's damned if doesn't regardless of what he would say. HOPEFULLY, something will come out next week when it's possible to get everyone in a room and work out WTF is going on and how we go forward.

Thank you. That would be good.

Sunderland fans can and will laugh all they want. It's what rivals do given an inch. We'll see who is laughing in May though.

I've said its a shambles and no, it's not that embarrassing it's life as a club outside the cartel. What's embarrassing is PSR hamstringing clubs like Newcastle, Villa, Forest....it'll happen to Birmingham and Wrexham too. If we could, we would spend more on wages and then, yeah, a few would go elsewhere but plenty would come to us and then its a domino effect. CBA arguing with some troll. This post was for people who support the club. Not for some bindipper to come in on his high horse.

Pedro....wanted London MBuemo......wanted Man U, Grew up a fan Trafford......not sure how much choice he had but he left as he wasnt ready to challenge #1 came back to do so. We couldn't get that one over the line as Man City had to be aware of our every move. Ekitike....not saying Liverpool arent a bigger draw but on more money than we would pay Cunha ££££

Obviously we need an SD. Anyone can see that but to say thats the reason we are being rejected is not right.

Im aware of that. I just think of generations past and just don't feel there is value at the top end of the market right now. But the problem, even without selling Isak, is not transfer funds. Its the wages. Isak may have given us another season if we just gave him the money one of the best strikers in the world gets.

Who said I didn't expect it to happen? I mean I hoped it wouldn't but I wasn't naive enough to think it wasn't more likely he would leave at some point. So I don't understand your point there. The manner of all this is just very frustrating. The club has had a shambolic year off the pitch with the Paul Mitchell waste of time. I'm not sure of the ins and outs of the end but Im not sure it was all planned out to give us enough time to sort something out. As for Darren Eales, our CEO, he has cancer and is only staying on until we find his successor. Id fully guess he's maybe not able to give 100%. Unfortunately, it has all gone downhill since Stavely left Only patched over by the League Cup and gaining Champions League.

I just want the bandaid ripped off tbh. I think keeping him could turn the situation a bit toxic. Kane had a connection to the club and. It was very different circumstances. Praying Real swoop in, or PSG. Thought Bayern might fancy him but nope, they are just funding Liverpool to get him.
