"Looka here bonny lad, ah bumped into Steve Nickson at Newcastle airport, ah was going to Beni with the lads for a long weekend and he said him and his lass were doing the same thing but going to Milan. He reckons their lass got a good deal if they flew to Bergamo and got the train to Milan as it's near. He might be telling the truth, he might not, but in this game you've got to chuck the odd dart in the hope of a bullseye, so NUFC in for Ederson from Atalanta?...... .....Why not? Lol. Ryder and fucking out, wor kid!"

Not his wage, his fee. £40m in 2019, £6.5m a year, add another 3 years brings it down to £4.4m a year, right? Couldn't remember how long his deal was so googled

I think you’ll find our expert on all things calcio-related is @ciaomanheyman

"Retro's where it's at, mate. Nee one gives a fuck about Matt Targett when they can get my WORLD exclusive from Kieron Dyer about THAT time he and Lee Bowyer came to blows against Villa and Steven Taylor was that shocked he clutched his chest, fell down saying, 'I think I'm about to have a cardiac arrest, lads!'

But can Foden do this?

We can't lose either as it would fuck that song right up.

A lingerie business set up by ex Star Trek legend William Shatner has gone into receivership. A disappointed Shatner admitted that titling the lingerie range 'Shatner Pants' was probably not the best idea.

Well, there’s his badge kissing and the disgraceful way he brings his kid on the pitch. I’d have thought you, of all people, would know that.

Laughable attempt at getting a Pelanty from the mackem. The “head snapped back, back arched, toes pointed” is on page one of Shitty Diving Technique

I’ve definitely noticed more Qashqais on the road recently.

Now closer to the relegation spots than the Playoffs 😂 Vardy with a bit of shithousery after his goal aswell, perfect

What a pair of shpenks!

Aye, but he can take it, I can leave it, you can't handle it.

Are we talking about Bruno or BUJ7 here? I do love Bruno and will be gutted if/when he goes, but not as much as Joelinton, simply because I’m a sucker for redemption stories, and they rarely come better than his in football. To go from ridicule to reverence in the space of a season is unreal, and his conduct throughout it all makes it even better. Love the bloke.

"According to Lee Ryder"

and no, i'm not talking about my BO

I like to mix my Carling with beef dripping just to counter-act Gemmill's efforts to save the earth.

Fyp

There was also a 2-0 loss to West Ham where we battered them and Tino missed a hatful that cost us. I don't like picking out single moments or people as it was a combination of everything really but in hindsight I think overall it was the experience of knowing how to win it that did it. As Keegan said if we'd won that one, we'd probably have won more.

Those were the days when footballers were gentlemen. Not a single punch or sly dig thrown, just a good old let's try to break each others legs.

I meant Ginola

Ian Rush was my fav. The bloke couldn’t even move.

Did anyone about the fire at the aquarium the other day? Hundreds of tortoises and terrapins perished. A turtle disaster

Meh, I’ve never lost any sleep over Insomnia…

I hope so the scum cunts

What a fucking prick. He's aware of the difference in resources isn't he, the absolute prick. Sorry your "MNF" has been spoiled, you lass-hockling-on twat.

When the gimps get beat off Southampton, it’ll be 6 in a row marra

One of the all time great gifs.

The flip side is that any player extending their contract is likely to want a signing on bonus and increased wages which adds to costs.

Team buys player X for £80m and gives them a 4 year contract. So that initial fee is spread over the length of the 4yr contract, at £20m a year. That £20m comes off each years accounts and as such is marked against their FFP allowance to fall within £105m over 3yrs. Say, for this example it takes them to their limit. 1 year in, the remaining amount of that initial fee to be amortised is £60m (£20m a year), but then that contract is extended by 3 years. So the remaining amount to be spread over 6yrs is £60m, or £10m a year and halving the FFP burden of that transfer. Leaving £10m free in their FFP accounts Which would allow the club to buy a £40m player on a 4yr deal and stay within FFP boundaries.

I’d love to see the stats on how much ground he usually covered compared to Bruno

Thought you were going to make a high brow post for a moment there

Beardsley and Batty but your point stands. Slight formation change didn't help when asprilla came in and Neville fucking over Gillespie at OT and put him out till the run in didn't help either.

I think a lot of transfers both in and out under Dalglish and Souness are deeply fuckin suspicious. Probably the fag end of the English “brown envelope” era

wasn’t he pretty much forced out with Sir Les? We had just become a PLC and needed to raise funds to buy Dalgliesh’s decrepit pals.

Says the man at midnight on a Monday evening/Tuesday morning!

The only negative I have about Ginola, is he chose to leave us for those Spurs cunts, funny I don't have that problem with Sir Les! Robert, HBA, Ollie Bernard, even ASM all had the decency to either be forced out by a fuckwit manager and/or fuck off to another country. Now N'Zogbia on the other hand, never knew what he had and deserved to end up wallowing with the beige cunts.

NME top singles from 1990…something for everyone

This is why it would be fun for the mackems to get promoted. Sheffield United currently on -50 GD. A reminder last year they finished 22 points ahead of the mackems.

Aye. I’m fucking dead here…

We basically haven’t played with a fit striker since before Christmas. We’ve scored a lot of goals in that time, keeping them out has been the problem for reasons done to death on here. It’s the best midfield outside the top three when all are fit. Mad to break it up. But David, as always, your opinion gets my respect 👊🏻

The other dragging a body bag?
