I said that ages ago, ie imagine if it was Man Utd for example. It would be all about how a great club was about to rightfully back on the road to glory etc

[fade to black] On a river where they used to build the boats...

Congrats on the nuptials Ant! Craig turning up, Ant bollocking on about tech stuff, The Boldon Bunter pitching up like a lapdog- it’s like the good old days So, with that in mind, and since Ant isn’t allowed to look at other ladies’ tits anymore, here’s one from the Fist Archives.

Thanks for keeping the place running tbf man. Probably doesn't get said enough.

15 years have now passed since 5 of us pulled together to create this place. Happy birthday Toontastic!

Aye definitely. You just have to look at how the usual media twerps, like Delaney, were framing it when there were rumors the Saudis were interested in buying Manchester United versus how they reacted to our potential takeover. The PL would have felt nigh on no pressure to wave the deal through, they’d have probably got it through before Bein were able to kick up any fuss.

If it was any of those clubs or any of the other media darlings they would have approved it in about half an hour.

*background noise* ”town ya daft cunt”

Arguably people get the pundits they deserve, in football at least. I suppose these are the people that the average fan would want to stand beside in the pub while they watch a match on the telly (however Sky figure that out). Personally I would want to bring a bottle down on the head of Merson. Followed by several extravagant kicks to the testicles.

So, next week then?

Did Man City get a stand-alone “Trophy Presentation” on Sky? Or is that just reserved for clubs that haven’t won anything but the Champions League, the Super Cup and the Domestic cups in the last 30 years?

The premier league are shafting us completely now and it shows exactly what they think of the fans. They should have a duty to look after their members and they are clearly not doing that with us. It's impossible for us to plan for next season. We keep being told that Bruce has done a fantastic job securing our premier league position for next season with so many games to go, but it's impossible to take the advantage that other teams in the same position are taking while we have an owner who has absolutely no interest in us. I'm now certain that they're just hoping the Saudi's will go away so I can't see this being resolved before next season starts.

Starmer is on the right side of this. The election isn’t likely to be for four years. By which time the effects of Brexit will be coming clear and suddenly there will be a lot of Brexit voters who claim that Johnson fucked it up or that they were never in support of Brexit in the first place.

The PL have definitely overplayed their hand here. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some sort of legal action taken even if the deal does go through

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to get exercised about this stuff. There are scandals all over this government, but there are never any consequences. Like Jenrick is in front of the Housing Committee today. We all know what he's done, and we all know that this is basically the last thing that he has to ride out and then it'll all be forgotten. I'm fucking sick of it, but I'm even more sick of wasting energy being outraged by it. I'm sure getting people to this point is all part of the objective, so well done to whoever's plan it was, cos it's working.

Aye, the twist is that it is monday

“Have you considered leaving toontastic.net a donation in your will?” Also congrats @Ant

What the actual fuck?! I'm sure I will have a backup somewhere.... and it can be restored. Mug in the bin or your dirty hands story breathing life again Bridget, what's it to be?

And about ten years since you all fucked off. Photo with a ‘I’m not Paul Wynn’ sign or I’m calling mackem.

Their cricket coverage is superb. Great commentary, analysis and summarisers. The films they show on the lunch breaks could be documentary series in themselves. But for football it just seems to be the same old jobs for the boys

A potato, made man.

The manager deserves enormous credit. Even if we lose to Liverpool it’ll be our highest points total ever under Steve Bruce.

He’s clearly a dim-witted man. But I don’t really understand what Dyer has against us. He made his name playing for Newcastle, where he played the best football of his career, but talks total shite about the club and fans as a pundit, and seems to have no admiration or respect for us at all. Same goes for Craig Bellamy, who I loved as a player but can’t stand as a pundit when it comes to Newcastle.

It’s about time to see Shearer being honoured by the club again (you only have to read the tweets).

15 years man and boy. Hardest game there is....

Every cloud....

I’ll think you find an 15 goal win for Luton and a 6-0 win for Charlton sees them down so I’ll have less of these “facts” and “stats”

Be a big dog and watch The Championship goals come in like me.

There was a convo in here about JK Rowling & her TERF activities. I found this video pretty helpful

I’m at the stage now where it would be funny as fuck tbh

Fuck it, whats the point, we are so screwed and likely to be screwed permanently, may as well just get pissed and stay pissed. four more years (at least) of this shit 😞

If it’s going to happen, get it out of the way now

I’ve said before, Jay Jay Sea had some serial killer vibes Nice chap though.

I don’t think it does but I haven’t been able to gather enough information on which basis the PL can offer TV rights to a whole region instead of single nations as in most of Europe. They are basically forcing certain nations to accept cross border broadcasting, something they have been rigidly opposing in Europe although there is a common market. As much as I am aware MENA is only a term for a region but not a legal entity. There seem to be multinational agreements about certain aspects dealing with broadcasting in the region like Arabsat. But in the same way the existence of Astra never stopped European leagues to sell tv rights exclusively. I doubt there is an existing international agreement between KSA and Qatar securing each other’s access to either market. As I see it the PL are just scared of one their main TV partners and how bein would react to a takeover, probably withholding payments. But as I said I can’t see the PL having the legal power and competence to force KSA to accept bein.

I'd forgotten about him... Just reminded myself of the time he crapped it thinking I working for his company

I had a PM from her around January 2010 asking me to delete her account and her entire history and it would soon become clear why...

Look, it’s me again...

He’s class to watch no matter what he’s doing tbh. I was told in the last test he got the slowest England 100 and in the next innings the fastest ever England 50 but I can’t validate the claim. He’s one of the few to massively benefit from T20 & one day cricket. A lot of other players just forget how to play test cricket altogether.

The fact Paul Merson has been paid for years to give his opinion on football should tell you all you need to know on that score.

I know the television studios don’t give a fuck, but the lack of knowledge and amount of ignorant comments the pundits make about the clubs outside of the “Big 6” (or however many of them there are now) is absolutely fucking pathetic.

He’s a better batsman than Botham was (and Botham was devastating at his best). I think peak Botham was a better bowler but he burst into the scene and the second half (if not longer) of his career was a story of steady decline with the ball. Stokes seems to be getting better and better. And he’s a great fielder too. I just love watching him bat though. I always thought his average should be higher because as well as the outrageous shot making he’s so technically correct in defence. When Durham won the Royal London Cup he smashed a spectacular century against Notts in the semis but his scratchy 30-odd not put that saw Durham home in the final was almost better on a slow pitch in gloomy conditions at Lord’s. Having all that talent is one thing but thriving under pressure when the team needs him most is what really sets him apart.

I thought it was astonishing when he chased that ball to the boundary down off his own bowling, not only his effort but his instant awareness of the field to recognise only he had a chance to cut it off, he is an unreal talent with unbelievable application to go with it.

Tbf Souness did a brilliant job at lowering expectations

Aye, absolutely absurd. And then he has the cheek to wonder why Matty Longstaff is wanting to leave to get football.

These dickheads whining on about masks, saying it’s their choice not the Gubmint’s, will be the same people telling women they don’t have the right to choose an abortion. Cunts, the lot of them.

Enjoying the promotion of Leeds is equivalent to the celebrate the return of the bubonic plague.
