Does anyone know when Infantino will finish felating Trump so I can tune in for the actual draw? #WorldCupDraw

Fundamentally a corporation will either use AI as a productivity enhancement of its human capital for growth or as a replacement for its human capital for profit. Or a mix. The structure of corporate leadership bonuses eg growth v profit may drive the initial diffusion impacts.

Just watching the extended highlights of #NUFC Fulham and heard booing of the taking of the knee? Has the social media cancer finally brought cuntism to the fore at SJP?

Anyone somewhere how trying to work these comments into calling Newcastle a small club is either after clicks, didn’t listen to the clip or just eager to feel outraged and indulging victimhood. He simply did not say Newcastle is a smaller club. #NUFC

Saw a great comment in a review for Sundays’s NUFC v AFC game. “Newcastle don’t just play the occasion, they use it as a weapon”. 😂

Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital. Here's what I've learnt about the industry in 40 years in journalism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Look, I’m a bit concerned. Can people start posting NUFC posts that I can recognise? Like “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” “ I’ll be happy if we don’t get rinsed” “I’ll be over the moon with a draw”. This new generation optimism is fucking freaking me out.

Wow, Kimmell shut down after Colbert gets “pushed”. McCarthyism is truly back in the USA. People in the UK, when they hear people going on about “ Free Speech in the UK” this is actually their end game.

I wouldn’t get too excited. The stature and profile of the club is also factors into the fair value assessment. So City can command more than us. It should raise our ceiling a bit though as we can argue the value of Saudi based deals in Saudi is greater than otherwise assed to date

I think we need to be a bit honest with ourselves. If Elliot Anderson had stayed at Newcastle he would not be debuting for England and doing so well. He needed to be first choice for a team and play a full season to develop further and show his talent. Good luck to the lad! #NUFC

No I’m cool but I saw some negative comments in the feed. However I was really surprised how poor Germany was. This vid gives some interesting views on how many different tactical options Eddie has now. I think the only thing we’re missing now is a low block “lock picker”

Nice, fun article. I think we need patience with Big Nick. The positive thing is I think patience is a thing the Toon fans have learnt over the last 3 years and that’s come from having faith in Eddie and his team to develop players to their full potential and time their introduction well.

Gary Foston @garyfoston.bsky.social · 02/09/2025
I also think Brentford, Brighton, Palace and possibly Wolves & Fulham move into the anti-PSR camp with NUFC, Villa and Forest. More pressure internal to the Premier League to change the dn rules

Gary Foston @garyfoston.bsky.social · 02/09/2025
Getting the hump that players are wishing Isak good luck? If you’re getting really upset at other people aren’t sharing your personal feelings about an issue you’re going to go through life being seriously disappointed. If you’re upset to the point of rage then get off social media for your health.

Any news on Osula? Could still be in the deal sheet if the paperwork was in place pre deadline

Gary Foston @garyfoston.bsky.social · 01/09/2025
If Osula goes to Germany I think he develops faster as a player. He needs game time. I think it’s what he needs at this stage. Good luck to him. And maybe back with a good buy back clause when he does get there. #NUFC

Ok so it looks as if it’s agreed for Wissa for £55mill. Yes overpriced, yes he’s acted up. But in my opinion again a necessary action to get the season on track with Euro games coming up fast, he’s a goal scorer. If paying that premium gets us to the knockout stages then it’s paid for itself

Gary Foston @garyfoston.bsky.social · 01/09/2025
Any case it a good boost to PSR

Gary Foston @garyfoston.bsky.social · 01/09/2025
I think minus say 5 mill for solidarity payments to clubs associated with his development from age 18-22 though that at be in Sociadad’s take already

Gary Foston @garyfoston.bsky.social · 01/09/2025
I see people slagging off Liverpool for “low balling” and NUFC for “caving in ”. Both teams have just done what was necessary and if the situation was reversed it would have went similar. The only bad faith actors in this are Isak and his agent
230
Gary Foston @garyfoston.bsky.social · 31/08/2025
We’ll sell him at £130 even with one striker. Better to have the money now and the drama gone. Then we can get in with the season

I like him but he’s beef is wanting game time and he’ll know he won’t get as much as he wants ina World Cup year at the toon.

TalkSPORT euro guy just said he exploded on scene, great year, Bayern were hanging on thinking Stuttgart would weaken and they’d get him cheaper. “Gangly, different, called Walter-messi due to crazy runs with the ball, genial, nice guy” but thinks we’ll need patience at start but will get there

Bringing players back from Saudi the player needs to be prepared for a serious cut in wages. Not sure whether they even pay tax over there

Gary Foston @garyfoston.bsky.social · 27/08/2025
I think we get a “you’re desperate cos of Isak situation” premium any where in the world but I agree there may be better comparative value outside of Premier league.

Gary Foston @garyfoston.bsky.social · 27/08/2025
Getting frustrated that people are trying to compare what we may pay for new strikers against what other clubs have paid or their assessment of market value. Isak had screwed us as buyers, we will have to pay a ridiculous premium because of his actions. We’re just going to have to take it. #NUFC
