McKenna: Howe Has Built a Top, Top Newcastle Team

It's amazing to think the last time we won there in the league was three months prior to us lifting the FA Cup. I hadn't been aware it was anthing like that long.

McKenna: We're in a Difficult Spot in Terms of Availability
at 16:14:03

If we had a real, or even an above average chance of staying up, this news would be far, far more serious. As it is, we'll just have to make the best of things and I trust KMk to do just that, even if we loose, which is highly likely.

On a more general issue, I do hope MKm can find the opportunity before the season ends, to give one or more of our youngsters a debut. It's something as supporters we love to see, but there has been virtually nobody able to step up for such a very long time it seems. Let's hope the Cat1 Academy status, once gained, will help us to achieve this significant step forward.

McKenna Commits Future to Town
at 14:55:55

I'm feeling exactly the same as you NorthLondonBlue.

I still remember relegation in 1986 as the saddest moment of my football supporting life. We've had plenty of downs since then, but nothing compared to 1986.

In contrast, my feelings are totally different now with optimism for the future the main thought. Sure I'm still very disapointed. but overall it is a world away form 1986 for me personally.

Anyway this is just the news I wanted to hear. Fantastic.

Edmundson Completes Boro Move
at 14:22:45

And then there were five...

Five players are now left from the 19 players from Paul Cook's "Demolition Man" 2021 summer transfer window: (Burns; Chaplin; Burgess; Walton and Morsy).

The one thing that stood out with Edmundson, was that he was the only one of the 19 who signed a four year contract, so he was a big signing at the time.

I'm sure he goes with all our very best wishes. He has served us very well.

IBC: Agreement in Place For 3,635m² Behind Cobbold Stand
at 15:49:30

I think you are on the right lines OldFart71. I agree any new stand would, I imagine, add 5,000-6,000 to the gate, tops. I just cannot see it adding 10,000 or anything close to it.

Clearly, an additional tranche of seats gets added to grounds when the corners get filled it, but that's another thing that is unknown at this point.

I still think any development is a far few years away as yet.

IBC: Agreement in Place For 3,635m² Behind Cobbold Stand
at 16:27:38

I wanted to know what 3,635m2 looked like "in the flesh", so to speak, so for reference purposes I looked up the size of a [typical] football pitch
on google and the response was: -

"The size of a football pitch in square meters (m2) can vary depending on its dimensions, but is usually between 4,050 and 10,800 m2"

So that gives an impression of the size in rough terms - not a big as Town's pitch (whatever that may be), but a fair old size, probably as much as we could reasonably have hoped for I would say.

Futcher: Delap's a Top Number Nine and He's Going to Keep Developing
at 12:35:13

This is good to hear.

The noise is starting to build up around him I feel, but with young English strikers doing well in the Prem, this will always be the case. They are the most sought after players of the lot.

Hirst: We're Always Going to Fight For Each Other
at 08:01:33

Hirst stikes me as a very intelligent man and footballer.

You only need to really listen to what he says in his interviews to appreciate the level of football intelligence he already has, as a young player. He then invariably goes and backs this up on the pitch.

You can really understand why he's a McKenna type of player all day long.
