If I ever invent a time machine I’m having the Luftwaffe visit that grade one listed bollocks

Wide of the mark, you say?

There’s a reason vaguely intelligent sports writers stick out like a sore thumb. You can count the ones that don’t come across thick as fuck on one hand.

although,

Yeah, I'd probably get over it after the third or fourth premier league title like. Given that Strawberry place has been sold I wouldn't mind if the Saudis built a new fuck off 100,000+ seater state of the art stadium. They can name it death to all infidels then if they like

At last a kindred spirit for CT

My Mrs has had a persistent sore throat and because of the industry she works in felt it necessary to get tested, she registered on a website and went and got the test done about 20 min drive from where we are (Sydney, Aus). She could have just rocked up and got it done too, without pre-booking. Video consult with a Dr, then they conducted the test. Two days later had the result (prognosis negative). They've since opened an additional drive-thru testing centre that's 10 minutes drive away. We've got fewer than 7,000 recorded cases and 95 deaths a bit under half the population (45%). I've been following this thread closely, the incompetence from your government is jaw-dropping and in many ways heart breaking. Many here feel like our government was slow to act and that they have made multiple mistakes along the way, but comparatively looking only at COVID-19 handling we've got it good.

See? It wasn’t just me.

So they’d finish 8th. I wonder if they’re still going to be ‘a scalp’, and ‘everyone’s cup final’ in League One season 3.

Someone “stokoeshopped” them

It’s absolutely incredible that he displayed the unique fighting spirit to be one of 97% or so who have survived.

Ayles is probably mates with Bruce. I can’t imagine that anyone would thick enough to want Bruce to stay, given the appalling football he produces and general level of incompetence. However its all moot because he’s an Ashley “bargain” and any new owners will want a fresh start with a top manager. You don’t buy a hugely expensive car and then entrust it to a pisshead with no licence and a track record of car crashes.

She's never trudged through the 80s. Next.

Leazes once replied to my mate with a massive tirade about Toontastic out of nowhere It went over about 8 tweets.

Tbf, I have to agree. It’s more a symptom of ‘them’ not being a big club.

Three seasons, have you forgotten 1987, marra? (I haven't).

And the fucker ended up not even living in Newcastle!

Let’s not forget that silly money allows for silly solutions- we can’t build any higher on the East Stand, but have a potential footprint on the other sides for expansion. So, we sink the pitch. Can’t build up, so build down. ( it’d take a bit of time, so we buy the mackems for small change, hoy a few thousand extra seats on for a season and play there- once we’re finished with it, we can raze it to the ground)

Dolly Potter. There was a poster on here who was really fucking weird a while back that adopted her name.

It’s problematic where the East Stand is because Leazes Terrace is a grade 1 listed building. But I don’t think there’s anything insurmountable at the Gallowgate /Strawberry Place end of the ground

I think people would have put up with Sports Direct@St James Park if it got us £50mil per season into the transfer budget

It's always a good question as to whether religious homophobes hate gays because their holy books say so or use their holy books to justify their innate bigotry. Either way there's conflicting "advice" so some kind of choice is needed which would suggest for most it's the innate bigotry option.

And their football team is called Fairydean

Just realised that by virtue of playing 1 game more than the rest of the league, even if League One promotion goes to playoffs via a ppg system, the mackems still wouldn’t get in

They’re seething about it if they’re honest. Good, let them simmer, the fucking troglodytes

You missed the part where sports journalism is about 75% complete fabrication / speculation coupled with fuck all else to write about at present

No mate, the context of the article is shite.

James Ayles from the Daily Mail has said that Newcastle fans are "increasingly in favour" of Steve Bruce staying on. The context of the article is that the players, knowing that Bruce will likely be given the rest of the season at least, will try to keep him in a job from their performances. So the context of the article seems to subsequently be implying that Newcastle fans want him to stay beyond the rest of this season. Have I missed something lads?

It almost looks like they’ve created yet another perfectly indisputable argument to prove they’re the classy, incredibly moralistic ones. They’ll never get to make that choice so can always pretend they have the moral highground. I’m perfectly happy for them to have it, I hope they get a warm sense of pride as they have Newcastle v Barcelona on the tv on a Wednesday night while they listen to Scunthorpe v Sunderland on the radio. This is a fan base that genuinely said they’d take Lee Cattermole and Jack Colback over Cabaye and Tiote. They absolutely cannot talk rationally when NUFC is involved in the topic.

Honestly, I went looking for a crap handshake gif of some sort but these days Trump has that completely on lock.

Lads we might be the richest club on planet Earth in a couple of weeks so let’s not fight. Unless some insults our glorious Crown Prince. Then we fight.

I don't think it is LM now, as it happens.

She can fuck off, instead I'll be commemorating the 224 years since the end of the second Maroon war between Britain and 150 Jamaican maroons with 350 runaway slaves. They never knew what hit 'em! We'll be having a BBQ with reggae reggae sauce as a tribute.

The harridan who ran that, I forget her name, is probably dead or mental now- might be worth another pop at it? Also, I’m sure our new overlords have many more “methods” at their disposal to dispense with dissenters.

yeah, the dog walkers stopped it happening. selfish wankers

Yorkshire pudding pizzas, my signature dish

Might just be an observation on the takeover.

Hmm that sucks MF. All the best mate, hope it's as stress free as it can be.

He was but has been cured through the grace of God.

The clip of the song man, thank fuck Netflix has that skip feature.

Bravo on this PL, you’ve absolutely decimated the bloke . Glad he gets to actively participate in the sports washing that he reviles, but others who have less choice have to stand against it. I suppose it would have been way more of a shame if he missed out on “one of the biggest events of the year” than us not getting to follow football, all he’s asking us to do is turn our back on our football club and basically lose out on what is likely our biggest interest in life. I also love that people like him and Delaney aren’t grasping why we’re getting mad at them, and keep acting like it’s only the regime they’re going after. By linking the excitement of the fans at being rid of Ashley, the #cans craic, etc to the evils the Saudis do is not merely suggesting the regime have short comings, that’s having a pop at fans who have no control over the deal. You and Wykiki have hit the nail on the head that the people they would go after if they truly do care about this is people like AJ, the British Government, the Monarchy, and Mike Ashley. He has absolutely zero ground to stand on if he’s saying that him traveling to Saudi Arabia, and covering that boxing match is somehow less complicit in sports washing than an NUFC fan attending a game at St James’ (it’s clearly far more complicit seeing as he’s actively giving them press etc as well), same with Delaney and taking part of his pay cheque from them. Fwiw Holt had a choice to not cover it as you pointed out, the same that Delaney could work for another newspaper, both those things are far easier to do and have little to no real impact on those blokes lives than asking a Newcastle fan to stop supporting their football club. If they can’t see that then they should be ashamed of themselves as it’s essentially ignoring what it means to people to be fans of their club, it’s saying that fandom means less than a bloke having to go through the hassle of his changing job or missing out on going to a boxing event.

'Wu neyd ta mak the club restaront sound classy as fuck seying as wa putting the advert in Ponteyland airport. Any ideyas, teym?" "Put a K in front of carbon instead of a C, marra!" "Up there for thinking, Doon there for dancing!"

Dough baskets.
