Had my last 6 monthly checkup after the cancer and been officially discharged, drinks later I reckon

Good luck with the book Diego, looks a real cracker.

Just imagine what Bruce could have achieved with proper investment. Just goes to show the best English manager in the game had two hands tied behind his back by Ashley. (Copyright Alex Bruce and various of Steve's pissed up old mates in the media)

Have you noticed that in an FA Cup match it is possible for our left flank to bring together Eddie Howe, Lewis Hall and Matt Ritchie. I will not know who is who.

I love that Liverpool have had a fucking stinker. Listening to the weekend preview podcasts and it's still Chelsea, Liverpool, and Man United that are being talked about as most likely to enter the title race. They might be ultimately proven right if our squad gets stretched too thin, but these lads are really finding it hard to get over their "traditional" big 6 fixation.

I'm enjoying it well enough but one thing I think it underlines more than anything is how incredibly competent we are at the board level. Yes it's all likely staged, yes it's very corporate, agree with all of that - but the depth of talent available to us at the executive level relative to what we'd previously been stuck with is incredible. At some point in the first episode Stavely is on a video call with some fella who was the Head of European Investments for PIF - and he was talking about what the club needed to do with clearly some awareness of the situation. I honestly feel like we're going to be really dangerous in the long run not just because we can throw money at the team, but because we're going to have the most skilled and competent people running it.

Surely you could have come up with a better pseudonym than "Beswick", though.

Isn't it fucking lovely to support a club that buys quality players before their prime with the right mentality to succeed. Bruno, Isak, Botman, Gordon, Tonali, Livramento, Barnes, Hall. Long term signings with attitudes and ambition in line with the club, who will help to cultivate our identity and be rewarded with the opportunity to reach their potential whilst enjoying our richly passionate supporter base.

This Endo lad apparently has the lowest bookings to fouls committed ratio in Europe. If he thinks he's doing well on that stat at the minute, he's gonna be fucking smashing it when he signs for ref's favourite Liverpool.

Can you not just get a VPN and watch it anyway? WHERE IS YOUR GERMAN INGENUITY?! This is why we had to Brexit.

Footballers are on fixed term contracts so getting rid isn’t that tricky. To Man Utd it’s the thought of their “asset” going somewhere else for noting that is the thing. That and roll neck wrong un actually wanting him back in the squad, obvs . Morality and men who run football are strangers

Last time I was there the Big Issue sellers were donating money to the shoppers.

He can operate as a box to box 8 or as a more offensive 8 with a 6 and another 8 or as a 6 or alongside another 6 in a double pivot 👍🏻

I'm just humble enough not to mention my books on here.

Think Lascelles is ahead of him in the tributaries. Bring him on first then Ritchie at The Bernabeu 3-0 up.

Tonali has played 1 game in the premier league Jeff Hendrick has played 149 games in the premier league Endo might be hopeless but it’s unlikely to be due to his premier league experience or lack of it

I will wipe my finger across the face of anyone that tries to stop me.

I think they shot the walking dead there to save on make up and special effects

A mate of mine lives near Hall at the minute. He said he helps out at the local cricket club and is regularly seen coaching youth football in the village. Seems like a good kid and probably fits the mould that the club is looking for.

I’m not reading anything written by Stevie

Don’t forget to take a tour of the finest shopping centres: The Bridges, The Galleries and Shield’s Road

‘Useful idiot’ is the phrase you’re looking for.

The stadium itself hasn’t changed much, other than having the foul stench of Ashley removed, but the Gallowgate area around it is very different to what it was in 2003. If you like a bit of beer, Ouseburn has the same old stalwarts and a few new bars/taprooms too. The Fish Quay is a bit better served with eateries and drinkeries than it was too. I’d have recommended Riley’s Fish Shack on the beach at King Edwards Bay but I don’t know if it’s open in winter? There’s a place at the Tynemouth end of Longsands which probably wasn’t there either, The View, but I’ve no idea if it’s any good? The city centre is as it was, but there’s loads of new places to eat and drink- The Grainger Market is a great place to go for a lunch if your in during the day. There’s an Outdoor Sofa in Boldon too, which is on the list of Worlds Most Minging Places, worth avoiding.

Inconceivable that he wouldn't know where Sunderland is since he personally masterminded the purchase of Jordan Henderson specifically to undermine the global attention the mackems were getting in their ongoing protest against his ownership of Newcastle. They were this close to bringing his entire regime to its knees, spearheaded by the relentless and cutting insights of Exile and his legion of 2 legitimate twitter followers (His mum and an alt he made for his hamster)!

I walked through it yesterday.

Bring him on in the sixth game when we’re already qualified

It's fucking mint. I watch every press conference of Howe's, re-watch highlights of matches repeatedly, take interest in everything they're doing. Last time I felt this engaged Bobby was manager; we're entering a golden period in our history. My only comcern is young, reactionary fans on Twitter whose version of hardship is their mam refusing to pay their phone bill kicking off cos we drew against Wolves or someone after a CL match. Hopefully older cunts can rein them in without going into Four Yorkshiremen mode when the inevitable happens.

Endo seems like a great player to me. I have always liked him. But I'm not sure that his football and pace is ideal for the Premier League and seeing that he's not just a defensive midfielder, I don't know if he'll only be able to sustain what Klopp wants by playing with players in the midfield like Gakpo, Mac Allister or Szobozslai. with zero defensive intentions. Yes indeed. The 16M price of him seems like a bargain to me. As a squad player he seems great to me. But I don't know if he's exactly the savior they need or if they're not going to burn him too soon. PS: In a few months my book on Japanese soccer stories will be out. So I hope Endo will play well at the beginning and give me a good publicity.

"Biggest heed in footbaaaall" Gazza said of him. I remember Hold the Back Page. Bunch of bell ends sat round criticising us a lot of the time. Only Henry Winter wasn't a cunt from memory.

No because I would need to subscribe to Amazon Prime UK. My German account isn’t working. I use a VPN and am actually in the heartland of Brexidickheads (Buckinghamshire) at the moment.

If you're hoping for the finger up the arse (and we both know you are), then you're gonna be disappointed.

She seems like a nice sensible girl. If she's happy he'll be happy, so long may it continue.

I thought he was dead?
