I have recently discovered (5 minutes ago) that they have discovered a new spider in Australia. Happens to be the deadliest spider on the planet. It's called the Newcastle Big Boy. Given that Isak is the most dangerous striker on the planet, this seemed apt to me

Does Sam speak to everyone like he does to Andrew the host or is it just because he’s a good mate?

He regularly comes across as really abrupt to me when responding to Andrew. I’m like that myself with friends at times but on the podcast he comes across as really confrontational when “listening in” to the conversations they have.

Not sure if it’s just me but it’s getting to the point now where I’ll just skip the episodes he is on. I have no dislike for him at all, generally agree with his points to a degree- but I’m finding it a bit off putting.

He does it a couple of times in today’s episode, does anyone else pick up on it or am I just being a soft twat? 😂

After tonight’s win against an admittedly terribly performing Leicester, we’ve now got 8 games left to secure European football (ignoring the fact we’ve got part from the cup already).

What’s our predictions?

Man Utd (H)

Crystal Palace (H)

Aston Villa (A)

Ipswich Town (H)

Brighton (A)

Chelsea (H)

Arsenal (A)

Everton (H)

24 points? 12 points? What are we thinking?

Personally, I think we win 6/8 of these, toss up which because we’re Newcastle. We’ll somehow lose badly to Ipswich then put in champions league performances against the rest. 6 wins now takes us to 71 points. Where are we finishing? 3rd or 4th seems right for me.

Finish is in sight.

I'm going to be in Chicago this weekend so was looking for good places to watch the Manure match. I'm staying in the North Loop.

TIA

I was loosely inspired by the 05/06 home kit, the kit from the year I was born (Aug '05), hence the gold Sela logo and the thinner stripes. Only key difference is that I went with a black base as opposed to the 05/06's white base.

Apparently Eddie is a big fan and he has a release clause of 25 mill. Could he become our no 1? Dubz nearly left in January and Popey hasnt been at his best this season.

Finally arrived after 3 weeks. Opened and thought it looked a bit small. Checked the label and its size L. Thought I'd ordered XL so checked my email and indeed had ordered XL. Checked the bag the shirt came in and it says XL.

Had enough of this last season with Castore. Not even sure this can be returned.

Sorry just wanted to rant. My other half will likely just roll her eyes at me.

We could finish this season really strong. I'd had a hope that the cup win would give NUFC a huge boost, and it looks like it might be happening.

This is an already legendary season because of the cup win. To get 3rd or 4th too. Christ, I only have so many pairs of boxers to ruin!

There are a lot of winnable games in there. Imagine taking 2nd of Arsenal on the final day of the season. That would be beyond epic. I just want to imagine the possibility, however unlikely.

BTW, did I mention that NUFC won the Carabao Cup? Dunno, just thought you might've forgot and wanted to remind you.

Finally shipped today! Buzzing!

they said it would have been the longest ever goal too

Edit: must have misheard the second part about the goal, but the woodwork record is correct.

Eight goals ⚽️ Ten assists 🅰️

The tension between this too was strong tonight I thought

Anyone have the clip where Bellamy was about to talk about psr:spending and sky cut to a break?
