Can't say

A little too well

"After you've told the mackem about the screws story, tell him to go to Screwfix and ask for a longstand and some tartan paint."

Weird as fuck that people are coming on here trying to "win" an argument about this situation. I say nowt cos a) I don't know enough to offer an opinion and b) even if I did, my opinion is completely fucking irrelevant. Particularly to a bloke who has family caught up in this horror show. It's enough to just be horrified about the ENTIRE THING without having to get someone to admit their position is wrong or that they're not quite looking at it right or whatever. Argue about football or who wipes their arse right, and leave stuff like this alone beyond just being appalled. You're not "right" and you're not gonna "win".

Maybe he only bet on clubs.

Italian football media know fuck all, Italian media say Tonali is likely in the clear

“ mission accomplished “

Surely Ivan Toney would be more like for like?

“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster”

got one for palace in the gallowgate. fucking tremendous website.

They're obsessed over there with expanding their stadium so it has more seats than SJP, a la Bob Murray. Has it ever even sold out once since their last derby against us? Anyway, it can't happen according to this ITK.

"Tells it like it is" That means everything he says is transphobic, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, jingoistic. Then calls people "snowflakes" when they clamp him up. Also, nailed on to have a Facebook profile that looks like this, but with a little union jack in the corner. Finally, unironically calls everyone a nonce whilst ripping it off at the hinge to his daughter's pals profile pictures.

Tonali to Fagioli

I suppose knowing Milan knew and proving Milan knew are two different things re: any compensation

So much for our much vaunted extensive personality and background checking

He will have more than a year to write a new pub guide I guess which will help him to settle before he really starts playing for us.

Don’t close it on my account. I probably just need to take a time out. It’s all still v raw. I’d sooner talk about it here, along online friends, most of whom are informed and respectful, than attempt to engage with the Twitter trolls.

Remember the bubbles for the spirit levels!

"How's the untouchables, did you say?"

This is looking worse by the day, but.......

According to what I have read in some Italian media, if Milan knew about the story and has not communicated anything to Newcastle, Milan would also be sanctioned (I don't know what type of sanction) because it would be considered fraud.

Gotta stay vigilant though.

What the BEEP, man

Paging @toughguymick@hotmail.co.uk

Tonali sending the boys round to "have a word" Listen... rumor has it that somebody who works at this football club... found a certain somethin' that belongs to us. A certain somethin' which may or may not have related to a certain website, huh? And the certain somebody that we know thinks they saw that certain someone... Write it down and take it back to that certain club... which may or may not be the place that we happen to be or not be... talkin' to a couple of certain somebodies right this very second. Capisce?

You've done the right thing in closing the other thread which trivialised the issue and had fucknuts like Parky and opening this one. We shouldn't censor this issue, everybody has been respectful imo. There are clear sensitivities to navigate with Gloom and aimaad, just like real life. In my office, I have colleagues who have relatives in Israel being called up, and a colleague with immediate family in Gaza. This isn't an esoteric issue, it is affecting a lot of people in the UK and must be faced. Maybe that will become a positive, that the issue will have to be resolved now rather than left to fester for dacades with people just thinking "not this shit again in Gaza/west bank" and switching off the news.

Whatever happened to omerta?

Divn't forget the sky hooks and nail holes marra!

he'll be needing an aluminium magnet too.

Is Turki Alalshikh best served with rice, or sprouts, roasties and gravy?

I don't think inter will be too happy paying us compensation, mind.

"Enough with the negativity, already, eh?"

No… fuck knows what I was doing in the first team that day. Half the kids in the school must’ve had fuckin ringworm or something All the good players played twice on a Saturday… school team in the morning then U18s in the afternoon. U16s was new-ish, mostly played Thursday night I think. Some older cunts strapped me to the treatment table after training one night and sprayed deep heat on my bollocks and I never went back… EDIT: it has to be pointed out that at this point in my nascent rugby career messers Beardsley and Gascoigne had entered my life and let me tell you readers, there was nae fuckin contest, ken? 😆

I'm talking to myself here, like.

Aye, from what I’ve read it could be an 18 month or so ban but may not go through until December time. Hopefully we can either sue Milan, or appeal to the FA/UEFA to have Tonalis FFP impact withheld until his ban is finished then we can go and buy a CM in the January window. It sounds like Milan knew btw, apparently Tonali was considered a no go until right before we moved for him when Milan were suddenly happy to sell. The major headache this causes for us (aside from losing the player for a while) is it tied up FFP.

I think they’ll support him and stand by him with certain conditions. He’s going to need to come clean (to the manager etc at least) about exactly what he’s been up to though. He’s a valuable asset at the end of the day so they’re not going to just bin him. I could imagine it all taking a long time too. Looks like Milan have pulled a fast one though.

This judge is taking no shit.

To get popcorn?

He’s a cunt even by their standards. Another traitor as well

I know Starmer (for example) comes across as a coward at times. I’m fairly disappointed in him but, as with a lot of other things, but (perhaps especially) with this, he literally can’t do anything but repeat what the government, the US and so on are saying without loads of elements in the media jumping all over him. It’s an example of how it’s so difficult for moderates to get their nuanced opinions heard and how everything is so polarised in so much political debate. Not really a defence of Starmer but a moan about how fucking frustrating and hopeless it seems for those who want peace. Which I honestly think is the majority of people everywhere
