This brings wor total 'spend' on defenders this year to £71 million with Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn and Matt Targett aalready on board!  Add on wor new goalie Nick Pope for £10 million and the total defensive 'wall' comes to £81 million so far! (The same az wot Moan U payed for Harry Maguire!)

*Here are the propaa fixtures for next season!

We just knew that the 'leaked' ones on Munday were fake, az reported in The Geordie Times!⇊⇊

Az published on Munday!

*NUFC start off with a home game against the newly promoted 'Friar Tuck Mob' from Nottingham, followed by a lang away trek to 'Ne Where Near' Brightin the followin week!

The 'Friar Tuck' game will take place az advertised on Saturday 6th August at '3:00 bells', az it hazzint been picked for live telly!

Aall othaa fixtures are subject to change and probably 50% to 60% of 'wors' will be moved for live telly or teams playin in Europe!

(Games for the rest of August and September will be picked for live telly on July 5th ---allegedly?)

Wot iz trueleee shockin' however, iz that NEE fixtures will be played between the 'so caalled' 'big six' in the last fixtures before the World Cup break, at the request of Gareth Soothgate and the FA! (Ing-er-land stand nee chance anyway!--- Hungary ranked 40 in the world won 4-0 against wor no hopers!)

In othaa words the Premyaa Leegue admit that we do indeed have a 'big six' and preferential treatment will be given to those clubs, against the 'pleb 14' includin' NUFC!---A cartel in othaa words! 

The MAGnificent 7?

NUFC DATES FOR YOUR DIARY!

 Posted 'high noon bells' Tuesday 14th Joon 2022

FAKE NEWS?

Some Premyaa Leegue fixtures were allegedly leaked yesterday, givin' NUFC a home game v The Liverbirds for wor forst game and then away to Moan United a week later!

This happened last season, but when the fixtures came oot 'officially' they wornt in the same order!---ie: 'Fake news' (Az Donald Trump would say!)

*The 'alledged' fixture dates for August and September

*The NUFC official site haz nowt aboot this, so wait til Thorzday to find oot the truth!

Meeenwhile the club ARE sayin on their website that wor 'next game' will be against Benfica in Lisbon at the 'real' Stadium of Light, on the 26th of July! 

WE are tryin to find oot if there are any more games abroad before this on the previous Saturday, but we suspect that Benfica, indeed, will be wor forst friendly game, due to the fixture overload of Nations Leegue games etc, which involves a few of wor players!    ie: they need a rest before the 2022-2023 season starts!

Anly 3 friendlies have been arranged so far---mebeez because of this? (Normally there are 5 or 6)

SO!---"Watch this space for any future developments!"

"AWAY THE LADS!" *** AWAY TICKET PRICES FROZEN AGAIN!

 Posted 'high noon 🔔 bells' Friday 10th Joon 2022

Some great news for aall NUFC away supporters!----By a unanimous decision the Premyaa Leegue clubs voted to keep the £30 limit on away tickets for the next 3 years!

*The price cap of £30 woz introduced in the 2016-2017 season, because clubs like Moan U and Chelski were chargin away fans a mooth waaterin £55 plus for cr*p seats in the corner of their groonds!

If it had went on this way, we would be payin' in excess of £90 to watch an away game now!

"AWAY FANS MATTER!" *** "AWAY THE LADS!"  

LETS HAVE SOME 'FUN' AND GAMES NEXT SEASON!

 Posted 'high noon bells' Wedinzday 8th Joon 2022

'BRUNO' MODELS WOR NEW THINNER STRIPED TOP!
