We did sell out Spurs away, away tickets rarely if ever go on general sale and we've sold out every away game since before being taken over. We've got one more away game before the World Cup when we play Southampton on a Sunday which is a 2pm kick off on Sky and more than a 700mile round trip, it's already sold out and has been for a while.

Yeah, I thought that was a weird post - not a chance that Newcastle didn't sell out yesterday's game. Presume any empty seats were down to the weather and fans moving out of them to avoid getting drenched

The time wasting will go over time as we gain more confidence. Our game had gone form sitting back and trying to hit teams on the break to having a go at teams. We still have more players in our starting 11 who were coached by Bruce so that will take a little longer.

I don’t see why a rivalry should become toxic, friendly rivalry should be possible. We were rivals with your neighbours and that was fairly toxic because they were horrible, entitled arse holes. I sat amongst them at Wembley when we played them in the FA Cup and they were rancid. I have never heard a fan base complain about the match officials as they did that day.

The differnece between us and the dippers is that they are used to winning trophies, like Man U in that respct and they think they have a right to win things, which nobody has.

You ain’t anything like the rags pal. I don’t begrudge you getting what you have got, your fan base deserves it more than the rags, dippers, spurs, arsenal and chelsea. The next 2 transfer windows are going to be very interesting for Newcastle

The entitlement is precisely why it will turn toxic when you start winning things mate

That and people like that True Geordie fella ( and anyone who believes him) who was straight in insisting their investment was “different” to ours and somehow more ‘righteous’, deluded.

Anyway, good luck Mick and hope you continue putting a few noses out of shape (except ours obvs).
 
I was very impressed with them yesterday. Courage on the ball, pressed very well and with some great players. They are a couple of top quality additions to be challenging for the title.

Howe needs to stop with the time wasting shite. That’s still a legacy from being a struggling club, Newcastle don’t need that shit anymore.

Other than that he’s doing a tremendous job.

I think in time they will but for now I'm all for it. Use whatever you can to take points from a game. The officials should be stamping down on it, for as long as they don't you might as well exploit it. I think Newcastle can mix their game up really well. They get stuck in, do the dark arts well but also play some beautiful football at times.

Just saw a section of empty seats in the away end, maybe a train was delayed or your owners block buy away tickets like ours do*



*Joke

Dennis bloody Tueart, what a goal that was and to make it worse, he was born about 4 or 5 miles from our ground.

Everybody mentions Dennis Tueart's goal as he was a Geordie fan, but no one mentions that Alan Gowling, who scored the equaliser, was a City fan. Even when he played at Old toilet, he had a City sticker in his car.

I say it to everybody who will listen but I hope it's quality over quantity. Left-back isn't really a strength, Trippier and Schar are not getting any younger so it might be worth spending on bringing in defensive quality. Howe keeps talking about reducing the age of the squad and he’s right.

We’re rumoured to be looking at Endrick (16 years old) from Palmeiras and Santos (18 years old) from Vasco da Gama, both are intriguing. I don’t know a lot about them, I keep meaning to watch them and forget.

I know the club used to take the minimum allocation under Ashley because the club had to buy unused tickets and were worried that we wouldn't always sell out, even though we did. It was probably also based on spite as the hatred was mutual after Keegan resigned. I was actually part of Keegan's case for unfair dismissal as I had been told by people from the club that Keegan had final say on all transfers, which they denied saying.

I sat next to Gowling at Wembley when we played Man U, he was with a young kid. I don't know if it was a grand child.
