In the league cup you have to face off against top Champions League teams. As an example, in our League Cup run we had to beat Chelsea, Arsenal over two legs and then Liverpool in the final.

In Conference and Europa League you are essentially playing mid table European teams all the way to the final.

Hi All

I’ve been after a cup final scarf for a while and all seem to be selling for £100+ , I’ve seen this one for a more respectable £60 , does this seem like a good price to add to collection ?

Or has anyone managed to get one cheaper

Newcastle United’s owners are open to selling a minority stake in the club in order to help fund significant infrastructure projects, including a potential replacement for St James’ Park and a purpose-built training ground.

While people familiar with the matter have told The Athletic that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) retain a long-term commitment to Newcastle, the club they bought from Mike Ashley for £305million in 2021, they are willing to dilute their current 85 per cent shareholding and have been approached by possible investors.

Newcastle are believed to have spent £20m-£25m buying buildings on Leazes Terrace, which is opposite their East Stand.

Does this mean expanding St James’ Park is now the focus?

No, even if that is the obvious and understandable conclusion that many will jump to.

The firm message from inside the club is that the focus has not suddenly shifted towards prioritising the expansion of St James’ over moving to a new state-of-the-art stadium.

Newcastle sources insist this purchase offers the club “optionality” when it comes to the stadium-future question. They view it as being of strategic benefit, whatever they ultimately decide to do, and are adamant that no final decision on staying or relocating has been made.

Chris Waugh explains the situation.

Basically does what it says on the tin. A lot of you had asked for Romano to be banned. We chatted as a mod team and decided that would only be good. So no more Romano articles/comments/tweets (and please report any you do see)

Thanks
