Playing Tonali so deep is an interesting approach. His main attribute is his pace and engine. Having him walk around and “shield” the back 4 is odd.

Good first bid. Get that up to £90 and he’s yours!

Wissa brace in the round of 32 to knock out England would be interesting.

I’m going to be dead by the end of this week from exhaustion and think I’m fine with it if this thing happens.

That was awful, entirely expected, and will mean nothing at all changes. Some bigger discussions need to be happening or this cycle will continue.

Hopefully the Knicks get as friendly of a whistle as VARsenal did there at the end of the match.

Unless enough European countries boycott it. Never mind that, keep selling that merchandise and get that book tour flowing!

Shithousing a lad that had a serious injury. Assume Arteta will give him a bonus at training tomorrow?

Did you not remember what he did this summer? I know you folks hate Newcastle, but come on. Hate to see anyone get injured and hope he gets fit again asap.

Free Salah! He’s done so much for the club it’s a shame Liverpool are holding him hostage. :)

Amazing to watch how MIB have caved to FIFA so they can have access to the tournament and make more cash. Liked it before when they had a bit of values, but I guess cash always wins…

Lots of assumptions there from many “sources” throughout the window. All of them could be true, all of them could be rubbish. The facts are he has three years left, Newcastle said they wouldn’t entertain selling in May, have shifted it to we’ll sell for £150 and LFC offer £40 million under.

William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 12/08/2025
Amazing take. Offer £150 million and he’s all yours. Not sure how it’s Newcastle’s fault Liverpool haven’t offered the cash?

As a New Yorker, it’s been a minute since we’ve done a decent thing when we went to the polls. Hope it’s a sign of things changing and not a one off…

Lovely way to start the morning commute waiting for my bus in the Bronx. It’s been a minute since I’ve felt cautiously optimistic about any policy in this country, but maybe this could be a turning point?

He doesn’t have the blazing speed and runs a little hot and cold like Gordon. Imagine we’d ideally recruit someone that has more consistency. But, with the World Cup coming to North America, wonder if Pulisic pushes to a club that has European football? It’ll be a huge burst to the commercial side
000
William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 02/06/2025
An American so obviously biased (and unnecessarily loud), but is there a chance for Newcastle to look at Pulisic? AC Milan didn’t have the best season, they missed out on Europe, and Serie A clubs usually wobble into financial difficulties. He can play across the front 3 and has EPL experience.

Congrats and well deserved. Always happy to hear you on the TF pods as well to be a bit more analytical with your contribution.

Should we believe any of the transfer news that is already starting to make the rounds? Is the club leaking any information regarding their plans, or is it all agent driven in an attempt to make a market for their player? Seems like we didn’t hear about anything until it was done under Ashworth.

William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 29/03/2025
Ha, amazing. Take a look at the parade today and tell me that Isak is leaving for a club with the same amount of trophies as the Toon this season.

Was thinking the same thing. The vibes out of Philly right now are similar to what Tyneside would look like if we won the cup.
000
William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 10/02/2025
If Philly didn’t have a pop warner offense that can only run 4 plays, it would already be over.

William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
Do you think that formation is sustainable for parts of this season or was that a one off that was tactically brilliant considering the circumstances after the first leg and Arsenal weren’t prepared for it?

William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 05/02/2025
Well put. I should have just stayed humble with the 4-0 shellacking. Thank you for calmly pointing this out to me.

I know it’s recency bias as our “neighbors” haven’t been competition in the last few seasons, but I really dislike that Northern London lot. So much pleasure watching our lads run circles around them and toy with them at every turn.

William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 05/02/2025
If only they played with different balls you lot would have easily won. Unfortunately, they play with the inflated ones. Stay humble. Howay!!

I can see one definite winner. Happy you lads won the league at the weekend. Stay humble and all that…

Wow, totally level headed lot you Gunners are. Be happy with winning the league at the weekend against City.

I’ve built with those things for 6 years and never even thought of building this. Amazingly done and I’ve never felt more inadequate!

William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 02/02/2025
Agree and think we’re squarely in the middle of the second pack of squads hoping for Europe needing reinforcements. Another observation is how poorly our transfers bed into the squad and how long it appears to take for them to get the system and expectations. Wonder if that’s factoring in?
000
William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 02/02/2025
Maybe we’re being proactive in getting rid of squad players and gearing up for the next “phase.” If we needed to rely on Kelly, Trips, Miggy, Longstaff, and Targett for any length of time the season would already be lost? Maybe get rid of them now, while there are offers, and balance the books?

William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
It’s clear he has the instincts as he made the run today to get into the position before fluffing his lines. But, he just looks like a shell of himself off the ball and lacks any connection with those around him in build up play. Fingers crossed he can stay fit and have a good preseason.
010
William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
Harry, can we finally start the discussion of moving on from Willock. Not nearly the player he was, he’s super rusty, but we don’t have the capacity to play him in this form and knock the rust off as we try for European football. Do you gamble that he gets back to his levels next season?

William Spadaro-Burn @nyctoon.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
Friendly reminder that we have three matches this week and a massive one on Wednesday. Botman can’t play 3 in a week yet, keep him fresh for Wednesday and again at the weekend.

Really no reason to go there for NUFC anymore. A nice plus that most of the ITK thickies have stayed over there, for now…

Imagine how much you’d hate Newcastle if the Liverpool manager didn’t cozy up to the refs with a cup of tea at halftime and he played the proper stoppage time and we got the winner. You’d be fuming. :)
