@StimmyMENow @FrancisChipp @Peter62592674 @MikeKeegan_DM The fact is that Sir Alex, Sir Matt and Sir David would never have allowed this to happen. Sir Jim simply doesn’t care about the food hygiene rating of the club.

@FrancisChipp @Phil_80_ @Peter62592674 @MikeKeegan_DM That would be accurate if it was owned by Manchester United football club.

@StimmyMENow @Peter62592674 @FrancisChipp @MikeKeegan_DM Man United were once a respected football club. It’s sad to see how far they have fallen.

@Peter62592674 @FrancisChipp @MikeKeegan_DM This has nothing to do with the club. It’s a privately owned restaurant.

@Doddsy228904442 Newcastle United have also not travelled to St James park today

@its_bilo @Dr_Ippon @TMHG91 @SwedishRumble True to an extent. But the original point is about PSR and the odds overwhelmingly stacked in favour of the likes of Arsenal, City etc and maintenance of the status quo. Far more difficult for the likes of Newcastle and Villa breaking into consistent CL places and title challenge
English

@Phil_80_ @Dr_Ippon @TMHG91 @SwedishRumble Gaining positions isn't linear. 2nd to 1st is infinitely more difficult than 19th to 10th for instance. It gets more difficult as you go higher. Look at this season's table for example. One win could see you jump 7 positions in the middle...

This is a curse that really really benefits the top spending clubs like City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.
“You had 700m to spend” — is stated like it’s a lot? Yeah, go a head and fire Howe, it’s all his fault.
🔺His player wage bill is around £160-180m, it’s not miles of United and Tottenham at £170-180m. But it’s basically half of Liverpool, City and Chelsea’s wage bill of £300m.
Newcastle can’t give players like Donnarumma, Semenyo, Guehi and the likes £400-500k like those clubs.
🔺People bring up “net transfer spend” and other misleading stats. Indisputable facts are that Liverpool, City and co spend £140-160m MORE on wages than United, Tottenham, Newcastle and Villa — every single season. This is excluding agent fees and sign-on fees.
🔺What is £700m? It’s a joke to think you can build a top team for £700m in the PL.
Chelsea spent £902m during 22/23 alone.
🔺But they wasted money on Elanga, Wizza and the likes? Everyone wastes money. Liverpool, City, Real, Barca, Bayern.
Any budget must allow for at the very very least 1/3 signing being complete busts.
👉My analysis of Newcastle is very simple. They are over-performing tremendously because they got a completely ferocious inner-mid with Guimares, Tonali and Joelinton. This allows them to (a) compete in games even if they don’t play up from the back, which literary is cost saving because you must not have top quality at GK and CB, (b) they can also pack more physical ability at those positions, like Dan Burns and co.
Guimares is a top 5 signing in the PL the last 10 years.
But — it’s not enough when you play in Europe which means two games a week from September to March. Hence, they will be an every other year team.
But quite rapidly — the ability to spend will increase. What stands out though, more than anything, is that Newcastle aren’t even remotely receiving the same support as City did — to build up like a factory to enable to PL club. Owners can give interest free loans — yet Newcastle is paying £12m in interest payments per year. They have no farm team. Any investments in the academy is excluded from FFP. Newcastle doesn’t have a top academy. Etc etc etc.

@Dr_Ippon @TMHG91 @SwedishRumble Arsenal were routinely 5th and 6th before Arteta. Completely different scenario to where Newcastle were before Howe.
English

@TMHG91 @SwedishRumble You think Arsenal had a crop of players that people were lining up for when Arteta took over? LOL…not the case. Chambers, Luiz, Sokratis, Mustafi, Holding, Cedric, Kolasinac, Tierney and Bellerin were the defenders. All very average players at best apart from Bellerin and KT.
English

@Dr_Ippon @TMHG91 @SwedishRumble Even the likes of Smith Rowe, Willock & Nelson left and it is now proven they (who "saved the team" at the time) aren't even good enough to start at mid-table teams. And according to the other guy that team was a top 4 team 😂. Madness.

@brian_pinas @DanMc4301 @ce884nufc @OptaJoe @NUFC @LewisMiley1 To be fair it was a very reasonable question to ask. His assist seems to have been recorded as a pass when it could be called a cross. But another incompleted cross was not counted. I love this pedantry. But the real conclusion is he played bloody good and he’s a fantastic player

@Koddzerwashe @curiosityonx Thanks for the reminder. Planets will also exchange rings sometimes. Which leads to an interesting spectacle whereby they have to be stretched or shrunk to fit the new host.
English

@Phil_80_ @curiosityonx Moons can change planets sometimes. The moon belongs to Saturn because it spends much of it's time revolving around Saturn. But sometimes it is captured by Jupiter's mad gravity and orbits it for a while before returning to it's parent planet. Hope this helps.

@Stellarixorine @curiosityonx Is there anybody out there?
Or is the internet just full of inane cretinous AIs spouting garbage to each other?

@curiosityonx Looks like a space dumpling 🥟—but it’s real. This is Atlas, a tiny moon of Saturn shaped by gravity and fast rotation. Its smooth equatorial ridge forms as material piles up, making it one of the strangest natural shapes in the solar system. 🪐

Alexander Isak is proof, he was a menace at Newcastle, now he can’t score, assists or play consecutive games at Liverpool
Lewis Steele@LewisSteele_
Alexander Isak has a knock and is a wait and see for the game against Brighton. Arne Slot says the Isak-Hugo Ekitike strike duo will be something we will see much more of in the future
