The Official Newcastle United Thread

[GTO-3R]

With Dubravka out, who's likely to be your backup keeper? Asking for a fantasy football draft friend...

[ellroy]

Just seen that, not good, not good at all.

I assume Darlo on the basis he played in all but one of the FA Cup matches so far.

Six games to be missed according to what I’ve read.

I just read that your adorable owner is charging STH's for next season now! While I won't claim Newcastle are or ever were, my second team, I genuinely pity you having this excuse for a human being at the helm.

[ellroy]

Maybe a few others are starting realise what an utter st he is?

Let’s hope so.

The parody account on Twitter MoneyMikeAshley raises a chuckle in these st times. One of my mates keeps saying "Aye but what if that really is him" I just used to think fk off man get a grip but now I'm starting to think it might be

Anyway hope you are all keeping safe. Take care everyone and hopefully we all get through this with only the football giving us cause for any future grief.

[ellroy]

Indeed Ray, keep safe buddy.

Seems the takeover rumour mill is winding up again.

Must be quiet in the sports pages and there’s been some bad news about the fat man....

All a bit tedious.
Fingers crossed still...

Would be epic timing with Sunderland till I die - series 2 just out!

Just started watching it. Comedy gold.

I expect he would say that he needs the money to pay the salaries of the almost as big tw*ts on his first team who are happily continuing to draw full salaries for doing diddly-squat while the non-playing staff are 'furloughed'.

[skahigh]

Starting to look like we might finally have a new owner!

Too early for cans yet. Once they're sat in place then I'll get the cans out

[Gadgetmac]

Do you think much will change?

[TameRacingDriver]

I'll believe it when I see it

Also no guarantee things will be any better even if it does happen. Not like we've not had a fair share of ste chairmen.

Who knows? Could be better the devil and all that.

My view, for what it’s worth, is that it hopefully means we will compete within what ever strictures the new owner has, but at least compete fairly and honesty. That’s all I ask.

We just need some hope.

Don't want to get excited.

As a little light relief:

Darren Peacock worth £64m and Rob Lee only £10m? Get to fk with such utter nonsense.

[fathomfive]

fkit fkit fkit.

I don't want to get excited.

But, please, take the money and get the fk out of the club Ashley.
