@tsmith_1892 @tinysima @NUFC That might explain it.
I’ve never gone anywhere near the show, after 1st episode. Not my thing.

For all the greif we give @NUFC for their graphics I’m grateful they’re not producing this level of horror (yet)

What's it say? I can't be arsed reading all that and Space Karen stopped me asking Grok to summarise this stuff

⚫️⚪️ Looking at Newcastle's post-takeover project as a whole, how far we've come and how far we've still got to go, I think some middle ground is needed. ✅ Since 2021, we've won a trophy, made another final, reached a semi this season, qualified for the Champions League twice via the league, battered PSG, pushed Barcelona in the last 16 for 75% of the tie and signed some top players in a squad that's so often been tight-knit, together and well managed by Eddie Howe. But there has to be some balance to this. ❌ To be one of THE best clubs on the planet by 2030 (Hopkinson's words), suggesting we'd be competing consistently at the very top, we still have a long, long way to go. Staveley talked about us winning it all, Al-Rumayyan made the 'No.1' claim early in the project, and Hopkinson said similar last month with his bold '2030' statement. Ambition is great, but we need to see so much more, on and off the pitch, to make these wild dreams anything close to a reality over the next four years. While the early days post-takeover felt near perfect, from ideal appointments to on-field recruitment, recent windows and staff turnover have been a mess, as have too many performances on the pitch, which is on the players and manager. A huge period awaits to get this project back on track. #NUFC

@tsmith_1892 @TinieMuz They should leave before they become a liability and their reputation is tarnished.
If someone like Trippier stopped playing for us at the end of the season, he can leave a hero.
English
@TinieMuz @Xraystan Some have been fine servants and should largely be allowed to leave with pride and their heads held high. But for the love of God, Howe & those atop of the club have to realise it’s genuinely time to move on. And tbh, nothing they do strikes me as they’re capable of doing so.
English
The replies to this are just people using more words to say “remember where we were”
ED@fantasyfooty
When the takeover happened, if you said to us in 4.5 years we would have: - 2x UCL runs and reached last 16 - a trophy + one other final - players coveted by the best itw We would say YES. That would show progress. The people complaining about it all zoom too much on the detail rather than looking at the big picture. Pock ourselves up - huge run in starting Sunday. Big summer. Lets go! #nufc
English
@TinieMuz @tsmith_1892 We need a squad, but, we should be getting in someone as Halls understudy. A young lad who we can’t bring on to rest hall. Just like hall was to trippier.
I love Trippier and when he signed I was chuffed to bits, but it’s time to move on if we want to improve.
English
@Xraystan @tsmith_1892 ah yeah, well that makes sense. But then it brings us back to the case where Trippier is supposedly getting an extension. That to me is a rediculous decision if true.
And it must piss off the better players we have to see it. I don't see any ambition in how we conduct business
English
@TinieMuz @tsmith_1892 I agree we’ve regressed over last season.
I’m referring to the talent cealing. Players like Hall, Miley, Tino, Tonali and Bruno are nowhere near their cealing, but Trippier, Jolinton, Burn, Schar, Murphy, Willock, Barnes all need an upgrade for is to be next level.
English
@Xraystan @tsmith_1892 The aim should be to raise that ceiling year on year though. You could argue that both times we qualified for the CL we had some luck go our way but you're meant to capitalise on that.
I don't even think it's a ceiling we've hit. This season we look like we've regressed.
English
@TinieMuz @tsmith_1892 He’s our most successful manager since 1969 and he’s rightly applauded for that.
But people also need to recognise that it might be time to move on.
How long are they going to dine out on the cup final?
English
@tsmith_1892 @Xraystan It's PSR, it's the "cartel", it's Isaks fault, it's the consequences of Mike Ashley owning us for so long. Everyone but Howe.
He really has no excuse, he's been given a fuck load of money, he's been here over 4 years and he's been picking his incomings.
Everyones fault but his
English
@TinieMuz @tsmith_1892 This. I’ve said it before Howe and a lot of our squad have a ceiling and they’ve hit it.
It’s not a bad thing, everyone has a ceiling, but we need to recognise that and if we want to progress some hard thinking needs to be done.
English
@tsmith_1892 @Xraystan Huge difference between participation and actually competing and the excuse we're constrained by PSR doesn't really wash when we look at what we've spent.
I expect improvement year on year, not a fucking regression like this season

@tsmith_1892 Did they forget that even the manger said we are not here to take part, we are here to compete or something like that?
Last 16 in the CL, how do you put that in a trophy cabinet? Give me a cup over that any day.
English
Being defeated by a door handle. Like this week couldn’t get worse.

@Youallmissedme This is the sale all the fans want though, isn’t it?
Plus another £80m for Tonali.
Anyway I call bullshit. That account has been putting out shite about all of our decent players.
They are the new indy, throw out enough shit, some of it will stick.
English
@OfficielKaybaye Exactly. Our season is now all about beating a newly promoted side at SJP.
Maybe we’ll go on a run that gets us 7th and we can hope for teams above us to win something so we can get a European conference league position.
Clutching at straws.
English
Said it at the start of the season, if at any point it relies on beating them, it’s been a bad one. Here we are.
Xraystan@Xraystan
It turns out our season does all come down to beating the mackems. That’s just a little bit tragic considering what our ambitions should be.
English
@CarbonFePhases Something something renewable energy sources are too expensive, something something net zero is a con.
In reality, my rich friends won’t get richer if we stop using fossil fuels.

But according to the moronic hard right, we need more gas dependency
