Maybe we insisted on a buy back clause for Hojberg 😱😱😱

True, but he could go to Burnley without moving home, assuming he does live in Manchester. Might matter quite a bit to a lad his age.

It's always a shame to see a promising youngster leave, but it's pretty hypocritical of us to complain when we do the same to other, smaller, clubs, signing their promising youngsters - eg that Cheltenham player this year. Even Jack Stephens was taken from Plymouth as a 16 (?) year old I think. Besides, who knows if Dibling will fulfill his promise? So many "next top players" don't. Its not long since Callum Slattery was supposedly going to be a top top player. Come day, go day.

Just in case anyone else is worried, I spoke to the ticket office. Apparently there was an error with some people who had already renewed still being sent reminder emails etc. So i can go back to logging on to the transfer gossip, hoping for a striker, and looking forward to another 'confident' season start.

And you're NOT still getting reminder/sales emails?

I renewed my ticket before the deadline, and got an acknowledgement email. But I kept getting renewal reminders, and now one today 'too late to renew, but can still buy.' Anyone else getting these in spite of renewing? Makes me worry they've cocked up the admin.

Is it only me that logs in here every day hoping to see we're signing a new first choice striker?

No. Time we showed we can keep a good player. And he'd be very hard to replace

Surely EIGHT by now with the current rate of inflation? 😉

Presumably Banzunu finally about to be announced

No. That's a concussion injury 😉

Thanks. That appears to be ok.

Every link I've tried is blocked as malicious by my anti virus software. Anyone got a clean link?

Feels a bit like Ralph just says to himself, who haven't I tried lately? Let's give him a go and see if that works.

Anyone got a good stream please? The one suggested so far gets blocked by norton saying it is a known malicious site

I went many many years ago. Away fans were held back--- as far as I could see mainly to make it easier for the waiting Leeds fans to know who to ambush as we made our way back to our cars.

Why wasn't that a straight red?

I'd just said Stuart Armstrong is a shadow of himself this season.😄

Did we actually sign that young kid from Cheltenham- Centre back called Will Armstrong? - that we'd supposedly agree a fee for? And what about their other young player we've had on trial?

I don't understand why the 2 city players who were offside aren't deemed to be interfering with play. Surely the keeper has to be distracted?

What effect does FPP have in Newcastle spending big? I was under the impression that the current big clubs had in effect pulled up the drawbridge so that newly rich clubs couldn't suddenly join them.

Seems to me the fair thing would be to say OK postpone it if you can show you really have lots out of action, but you can't play any newly signed players in the rearranged game.

Glad someone else saw this. Was beginning to think I'd imagined it!

Just in case anyone's not seen the club message, there will be covid checks at new perimeter barriers today. That will probably mean massive queues, so go early.

Ralph seems to play Tells as a winger of sorts , but maybe it's time to try him up front with Broja?
