    Ive often never understand their flags.

    Eg.

    'Nothing is achieved alone. We are a city, a whole population. We are Newcastle United'

    'We still have wild dreams'

    'We are not here to be popular, we are here to compete'

    'This is our house, this is Newcastle'

    They sound like slogans that have been translated into English from another language. Or from generic flags in the crowd from a Playstation football game from the early 2000's.

    FFS. They don't have an original thought in their heads. From the BBC and their new NUFC fan "reporter". Cliche doesn't come into it, but look at the name of the mascot. Screenshot_2025-09-19-09-51-03-30_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg

    What baffles me is there’s no obvious sense to it.

    It’s doesn’t look like a Magpie (Monty the Magpie surely Dave the duck?)
    It’s an AC/DC reference. Yeah, Geordie singer but we wouldn’t put Annie Lennox dressed as a dog to reflect Dave Stewart and cats.
    They flexing the Carabao Cup against multi Champions League winners.

    I mean it’s a canny bit of graphic in its way it’s just got absolutely no links to their club.

    They categorically have seen the 2 brilliant ones we’ve done and tried to match them.

    Even the tail that Woody Woodpecker's holding is a reference to Man. United :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Pale immitatations of other clubs identities.
    Barcelona - more than a club
    PSV Eindhoven - unity makes strength (bit nazi sounding that one)
    Bayern Munich - we are who we are
    Spurs - to dare is to do
    Benfica - out of many, one (e pluribus unem, which also used to be the motto of the USA)
    Ajax - we are Ajax, we are the best
    PSG - dream bigger
    Just a few examples from Google, the mags stuff is just pale rip offs of other clubs slogans.

    Coincidentally, we share the same motto as Juventus, 'Til the end.<cheers>

    The Magpie is called Monty, the Sunderland legend that pulled off the greatest save in the history of the old Wembley Stadium?
    Brilliant.

    Aye first it looks ok but then more you look at it the more its ****!

    I can kind of make out the ac/dc "back to black" reference but in reality its ****. It doesn't look like a magpie as they have hidden it with the clothes for the ac/dc but also its got a ducks beak and a random devil tail ffs!

    I'd eat my hat if this wasn't quickly and cheaply created by ai and doubt it went through many quality checks or redraft before being printed.

    It honestly looks like someone has turned i to "create a tiffo design for Newcastle vs Barcelona that has links to Newcastle the area, team and returning to tbe champions league" and whacked the first result out!

    They are and always will be 'try hards' equivalent to English Texans in their insular mentality.

    Good grief -“ not here to be popular” making a public declaration that you don’t want anyone to like you - and yet they’ll still think they are everyone’s second favourite.

    'we're not here to be popular, we are here to compete' can roughly be translated as 'we know who our owners are, but at least we can now win things'

    Amateurish. Almost as if they've got a bunch of teenage interns working for them to come up with this kind of stuff, instead of professional, experienced staff.
