Very strange decision by Bruce to play a 5-4-1 with Andy Carroll up top on his own, I mean surely to god logic would have been to have played someone up top with pace to chase lost causes and balls into the channels etc?
Dreadful defending there to give the penalty away.

Was a pretty straight forward decision to make for the referee
The BBC commentators are making out it was an unreal spot

Absolutely, literally one of the most blatant peno's you will ever see ffs
City have looked very sharp and impressive, a couple of shrewd additions in the summer and they will go toe to toe with Liverpool for the title next season.

Newcastle improved this half, should have equalised there and then a great goal from Sterling at the other end

Yeah better second half, but City win was always going to happen In terms of Gayle, he has to score that chance. Can't remember who said it recently but heis one of those players who fits into the void between not being good enough for the PL and too good for the Championship. As Bruce said after the game, the PL need to make up their mind over the takeover as I'd imagine our whole transfer plan hinges on whether it will happen. We have signed Mark Gillespie from Motherwell (on a free) as a replacement for Rob Elliot though. |

There's only 2 variations of a striped shirt you can get, either thinner stripes or thicker stripes! I don't think it's that bad, the only putting off thing with their shirts lately is the red lettering and numbers on the back

I think that's been the best thing about the last few kits gives it a very retro look. I know you can't do much alright with stripes template The only things you can realistically do is a) make the stripes wider or narrower (as you say) b) Have them at some kind of angle (See Inter jersey) c) Or god forbid invert terms to be hoops. You can of course put in a bit of fade perhaps or design in the stripes. Like the 2015/16 kit for example, it would have been nice, Edited by lassassinblanc - 23 Jul 2020 at 3:51pm |

Untrue, you can have a messy combination of thicker and thinner stripes on the one jersey

That shirt’s an abomination though.
Just plain black and white, black font on the back. Whereas Sunderland should be plain red and white with red font.

Reading the statement from the group. The Premier League have a lot of questions to answer.
Appears as if they were stalling and stalling in hope that they would eventually pull out so they wouldn't have to make a decision. Either way hopefully the other guy Henry Mauriss comes along now and buys the club. I know I speak for a vast majority of Newcastle fans when I say the excitement of the takeover wasn't necessarily that we'd be bought by mega rich owners it was more the relief we were getting rid of Mike Ashley. Regardless if the new owners were the Saudis, Ant and Dec or Jimmy Nail it would have been much celebrated

Ah come off it Lassy, the amount of Newcastle fans creaming their togs over the prospect of being "the richest club in the world" was mindblowing.
I get that more or less every Mag wants Ashley gone, but if a local man came in and bought the club with no major funds promised for new players you wouldnt be celebrating. |

I'm not saying that I wouldn't have been delighted if the Saudis had taken over and they pumped in 1 billion in transfer funds of course i would. And of course investment is what everyone dreams of with a new owner but I think ambition is more what we want. If some local man came in with a plan to improve the club then he'd be welcomed. Similar in case to when Donald took over Sunderland, fans were happy Short was gone because the club had no purpose under him other then to just exist that is how it feels under Ashley I'd also say player investment isn't the only thing which needs investment. The only upgrade to the training facilities at Newcastle during Ashleys reign has been a fresh lick of paint. I'll be the first to say Ashley hasn;t been the worst owner in the world but the last few years he's turned the club into a soulless void where it just seems we exist to exist. |

Talk that deal might not be 100% off.
The pressure is all on PL now to come out with a statement

Gutted that the sale has fallen through but not surprised.
Ashley has asset stripped the club over the last 10 years and was expecting the sale to go through. The clubs future is now very uncertain and there is nothing positive on the horizon. It's the hope that kills you!

You can say that again. The Charnley statement gives that little bit that it might still happen. But that is a big might. I've read that though that unless this bid is resurrected or if Henry Mauriss can show prove of funds then it might be tough for anyone else to meet Ashleys price unless he reduces it due to the current climate. He himself was probably relying on this money to buy into more retail chains. So he is a loser in this case too don't forget. I will say though if the rumours of other clubs from the So called Big 6 putting pressure on the PL to reject it are true then it really shows where their loyalty lies. From the outset it looks like the PL doesn't give a crap about other clubs and wants to keep Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal and Spurs at the top table as they make the most revenue for them the idea of someone else coming in to potentially damage or challenge those clubs seems to a reason here. I'd say the PL loved Leicester winning the league a few years ago but were delighted to see them slip out the Top 4 this year.
