They aren't all pathetic (not that anybody thought they all were):-

Pondered on a new thread but settled to a link to a good news story re: the fan who needed attention and the Dr(s) who fortuitously were nearby.

Pleased to hear the fella's doing ok.

I was susprised that the stewards / St Johns in that stand didn't have quick and easy access to a defibrilator and had to rely on a player sending someone off down the tunnel to fetch one. Hopefully all clubs, including our own, will now ensure that there are sufficient defibs around every stadium to be close at hand when needed.

Tim Sherwood said on the radio this morning he'd be happy to talk to them if Bruce was sacked. A steady pair of hands on the tiller.

Good for Tim.

I'd also like to remind Scarlett Johansson that if she finds her marriage is looking a bit rocky she's more than welcome to stay on my sofa.

I knew the guy was a plonker but did he really say that?

I am amazed there is no talk of an "FC United of Newcastle" being set up.

Then again, perhaps not so surprised given the jubilation of the fans at selling the soul of their club.

Out of interest, is anyone thinking about organizing something for the newcastle game?

I'd hate to see this simply fade into the background and become accepted as just 'part of how football is now'.

Although history would strongly suggest that is what will happen, and I imagine it's what the new owners and their parasites are banking on. So far they must be delighted with how easily it's been turned into a good news story'

Be good to make sure that there is some kind of visible reminder to newcastle fans, MOTD pundits and Sky of who they are now in bed with.

I am angry enough, but have zero experience of organizing any kind of football related action. So if anyone out there is planning something and wants some help - or if anyone wants to get heads together and plan, then please do feel free to PM me.

Just wondering what Newcastle can / will do prior to January transfer window.

-Sack Bruce / install new manager

-Can they bring in players who are out of contract, or who have their contract terminated to facilitate moving club?

-Can they take in loan players or is that blocked until the Jan window?


Given the quality of their team / squad, I can't help but think they will need to pull every lever possible if they are to avoid being further into the mire come January.

I suggested before, Yemen flags to show solidarity

Or

Jamal Khashoggi was 59 when murdered. Applause in the 59th minute? Could catch on

Whatever, obviously the club won't back anything so it would have to be fan led

I saw on twitter* that Eddie Howe was in talks to take over.

* which means it's probably not true

They've named their squad, but they do have a handy amount of time to get things in place behind the scenes, ie new manager, director of football etc

Applause on 59th minute and distribute photos/images of Jamal Khashoggi for everyone to hold up.Would be good.

Still in Brighton
It is awful and shouldn't happen but i can't get rid of the voice in my head that says, well, but we (the UK) sell billions of pounds worth of arms to these same Saudis, so how can I get all uppity about it this..... and then there's City, Chelsea, PSG, the Qatar WC...... But I would stop giving the Albion my money if it happened to us (still stream of course) and support someone else instead until the wankers moved on.

I'm not so sure.
It wouldn't have to be acknowledged by commentary team and the cameras can just pull back from the action.

Yemeni flags is a much better idea as the flags will just be waved randomly throughout the game.
