I hope for your sake that you get the tickets but I've just googled seatsnet for reliability and it doesn't look great (but people that have a bad experience are more likely to complain online than those who had a good experience so who knows)
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
no idea how they've got tickets available already then, seems too good to be true to me
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
well the only people who would be guarenteed UCL tickets currently are season ticket holders, so its either some of those being sold or a scam

Absolutely wild to see Barca fans worried about us 😂 properly loving it and can't wait for the game 😁
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
well he did say his hobby outside of football was fashion so we should expect a lot more of this

Did PSR steal our 2nd e?

Not from what I can tell based on transfermarkt injury data
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
ACL injury, it's one of the worst as for some people it takes a long time to get back to their best and unfortunately some never get back to their best
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Doesn't help that it's international break as well
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Not heard of FIFA+ before but apparently it's free so will be sticking the DR Congo games on, will have to find a dodgy stream for ze Germans
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
should be easy to watch the Germany games, not sure how easy it'll be to get DR Congo games, will definitely try to watch them though to see our players
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
For now we'll just have to settle for watching him against Slovakia on Thursday
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Well you have fun doing that, I don't bother because it's a waste of my time as I'm a nobody so I'd have little effect on getting a change of ownership, so I'll just focus on enjoying the football that my club plays as it was here before the Saudis and will still be here when they're gone
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
well you're either going to have to get used to it or hope your club spirals down the league as the comparisons will always be there whilst we're at the same level
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
thing is though he's probably set enough for life just on deals for the rat alone

I've seen a comment (on Reddit) that Pivas is one of his players so either he needs to change agent or we should get rid of him
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social)
The "savage parting shot" is basically acting like a teenager after their first relationship breakup, we should blacklist that agent and not sign any of their players ever again #NUFC

Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
They won't get rid of him easily, he's shown that he's not quite ready for PL with some silly mistakes which is why donnarumma was brought in
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
We need to give up on Trafford, there will be better value elsewhere
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
I've heard people say it was lascelles
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
I hope he does it again to L'pool when he wants to leave in a couple years for a Spanish side
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
This lad clearly doesn't get that his team owners are fairly rich too so they are in exactly the same boat as us of having owners with money that would love to spend money on a club they own but can't because they are restricted by PSR
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
that's weird, working well for me as I didn't see the clubs post about him leaving until someone quoted it
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
made the same comment on another post glad its not just me that sees that😂
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
why does it look like he's been caught taking a piss against the wall? 😂
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Wissa will 100% be starting the 1st game back after the international break as we have no other choice available
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
It might be the space in your screenshot if it's not working
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social)
I guess one bonus of Geuhi going to L'pool means we're already 1-0 up when we go to anfield as he loves scoring for #NUFC
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
arteta is a big reason why I dislike them so much
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
I'd loved to be surprised but Craig (lack of)Hope at lunchtime ruined the day by saying no more incomings after Wissa
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
undoubtedly yes
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
when you tell them they're buying the league all you'll get is "but but but net spend though"
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
I think arsenal would be 2nd or 3rd for me
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
It would seem that way, Wissa and Osula being the last deals we do
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Well that will be further down the line, eventually Thiaw will be the starter and Schar will be backup when he's no longer capable of playing as much as he does but still a decent level
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Isn't Thiaw the replacement for Schar?
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
We'll take it, would be silly not to
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
You sure did
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Well that's just ruined the rest of the day
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
nah no complaining from me either when we're doubling his value
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
I've only just seen it myself
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Craig Hope's reported it just over 10 mins ago
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Wissa's signed a 4 year deal so even though the fee is paid over 2 years, for psr it'll be split over 4 years
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
BBC say £15m, Chronical say £10m+5m so I guess transfermarkt are just showing the fee without addons
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social)
It will be a shame to see him go for the personality loss alone but he needed a lot of improvement to ever make it here so we'll take the profit on him #NUFC
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
I swear it was £15m-£20m, either way it's profit but will be a shame to lose the mad bastard, was hoping he'd do well for us
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
That Bournemouth game surely gets moved to Sunday, I'm pretty sure everyone who plays Europa league (Thursday) games end up playing on Sunday
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Midfielder seems the most likely place to get another one in, perhaps a Tonali backup
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Mark Douglas says we're still working on other things so who knows
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
still working on other things 🤔
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social)
Damn, Ten-Hag has been sacked before we were able to beat his Leverkusen side #NUFC
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Would be insane to get him as well but realistically I don't think that's happening
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Sky are taking the cautious approach and essentially saying nothing has changed on deadline day show, so I guess we'll have to wait to see if fab is telling the truth
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Definitely overpaying but we need a 2nd striker
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
I think Brentford would prefer to keep Wissa over taking Osula and you couldn't blame them
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
that would be an incredible deal, I'd be surprised if that happened
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
forgoing loyalty bonus dropped the fee a little bit, I was always expecting a deal at £130m tbh
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social)
If this is true then I think we probably should allow a loan deal as he needs the minutes to improve, but we'll definitely need to get another striker in

Muted his name. Onwards!!!! #nufc
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
that sounds like a cracking idea, think I may do the same
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
that's the only scheduled one so far, if something comes up and there's an availble slot then one can be scheduled in at any point
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
The line drawn was hoping he gets injured, you've gone so far over that line you can't see it anymore
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
They also recalled guiu from the mackems
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Bayern was a loan deal, they'd probably let him go on a permanent
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
and hopefully many more as he gets older
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Jackson starting to feel like the most likely one through the door
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Well that explains why we let him go for £125m then
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Gotta wait for the man city case to resolve before we go overboard

wouldn't be worth selling the womens team whilst in WSL2

Just remembered I'm heading out after work to get my car fixed so will miss the final hour as barely any signal out the workshop
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
yeah I don't want to be over paying for any but slightly concerned with isaks behaviour if we're stuck with him
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
was a poor attempt at a joke from the map name
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm wondering which rabbit we're going to pull out the hat, I'd like to think we'd be active to get a 2nd striker but I guess its not guaranteed if we're still going to have isak on the books
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social)
Weirdly looking forwards to deadline day tomorrow to see what unfolds #NUFC
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
it's just a pipe dream, you could do it in your sleep
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social)
and now Wilson grabs his first goal for West Ham (makes a change from scoring against them)

so turns out west ham aren't fully shit

was there racist chants yesterday? only isak one I heard was saying he's a cunt (the europe again olé chant)

I'm not sure how anyone could see "dubai chocolate" as romantic 🤣
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
They clearly think isak has put us in between a rock and a hard place and must sell him, but they don't know PIF at all

Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
for me I don't think there has been a transfer request as usually reports follow to say X player has handed in a transfer request
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
is it a transfer request or is it a statement of wanting to leave but not actually putting in a transfer request like isak?
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
It's happened for years where the deadline was 11pm and often you'd hear from SSN about "deal sheets" going through before the deadline then the announcement of the signings the following morning
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Players don't need to be announced by Monday 7pm, they just need to be registered, we could register a player 6:59 then wait until the end of the international break to announce them
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
Now watch all the half-wit LFC fans try and shove this down our throats about Isak...
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
am I missing something or did you quote the wrong post?
Sam (@samnufc.bsky.social) reply parent
and you're blocked already 🤣 L'Pool fans are so thin skinned its unreal, happy to dish it out but can't take anything in return, absolutely clueless to think we'd get relegated when there's a minimum of 5 teams worse than us

Can't say I've heard it but can bet they weren't the first to use the same tune that goes with it
Adam Clery (@adamclery.bsky.social) reposted
🇩🇪⚫️⚪️ Newcastle need goals. Badly. But since Nick Woltemade has never been prolific, is he really the man to replace Isak? In a word, yes. He's technically excellent, creative, and a magnet for defenders. There's a reason the German's call him Wolte-Messi. youtu.be/yEgp7qDGJ5E #NUFC
