Aye they finished 8th twice under Arteta before splunking 400M odd over 2 seasons and lo and behold suddenly they are challenging. Bit of perspective for the miserable twats questioning Howe right now. It took Arteta 4-5 years just to get into the CL and with a MUCH better foundation than what Howe and Nufc had 2 years ago.

Well, the newest member of the Fishy family was born today. 12:14, weighing a healthy 8lbs 11oz (3.94kg). Baby Girl Fish seems pretty chill so far, but has a powerful set of lungs when riled. Hopefully get back home tomorrow. No way am I sleeping tonight, on a semi-comfortable chair in a ward of 4 newborns. Mrs Fish is spark out, so the little'un. NHS staff have been amazing.

That's not really true tbh. The main reason cancer incidence has gone up (and 50:50 is correct) is because we're living to be older and not dying of other things first. I just make the point because otherwise it contributes to the belief people have contributed to their illness through lifestyle choice, or worse, some conspiracy nonsense, neither of which is helpful. 👍

These dick heads will be on thin fucking ice when we challenge them trying to stop us spending if that is their argument.

Twitter in the knows versus Lee Ryder on the severity of Gordon's knee injury.

ARE YOU WATCHING NOELIE?

Well you can always hope their extended CL run ends up in tears and impacts the league form enough for them to bottle it again Didnt use to mind Arsenal so much but Arteta really is an insufferable prick.

So this Hester "donates" 10m to the tories and coincidentally gets public contracts worth 10s of millions and then the tories come under pressure to give him the 10m back so the contracts become "free". Win-win for racism then.

Mine came courtesy of Ian Levy. Current Blyth Valley MP but standing in the newly formed constituency of Cramlington and Killingworth at the next GE. Electoral Calculus rates his chances of winning at 2%

Returned.

Nice one Fish and Mrs ! Send me your first draft of your Father of the Bride’s speech and I’ll help you get it down to less than 10 pages mate. Also, if you haven’t picked a name yet, this might help.

No 🙂

Thing is, the game against Chelsea was turned on its head after an against the run of play brain fart and slice of bad luck for Palmer's opener. If we scored first I think their fans would have turned and we'd have gone on to win. But, as with Man Utd, Chelsea's team is peppered with quality individuals who can dig them out of trouble without any broader plan. Howe is getting criticism for sticking to his style, and I understand why it would be frustrating, but I don't think he's still rigidly adhering to the high intensity, high pressure we saw last season. Trouble is, when we are chasing the game that's our most reliable goal threat. And unfortunately we're quite often chasing the game because Dubravka isn't as good as Pope. So Howe is trying to change tactics but gets pulled back to the horse what bring him.

I'm beginning to think Frank Hester might be racist.

What they didn't want you to see....

He’s good mates with Odgers Berndsten apparently …

Heads up to anyone who's interested. There's a "to scale" solar system trail on the coast being held this weekend. Think the sun and the inner solar system will be on longsands with Neptune and Pluto as far away as St Mary's lighthouse. For reference, if the sun is the size of a football, on this scale the next nearest star, Proxima Centauri, would be in Chicago. It's a nice walk although the weather is probably going to be shit. They have a permanent one in Melbourne and I'm hoping they will make a permanent version of this too. https://northtynesidesolartrail.co.uk/

If the mountain won’t come to Mohammad…

moved house beginning of feb mate, monrh leading up to it and the subsequent one have been chaotic, particularly the latter, not only chaotic but the little grade 2 listed old toll house in need of a bit of attention is also very much a fucking severe strain on already meagre finances!

The mackems don't really care about Boro, Boro don't really care about the mackems. Deep down NUFC is the one thing that grinds their corn.

if we do end up appointing the special one, it's safe to say things will have gone tits up

Just lying to people in general tbh. I know it’s been discussed and Renton or yourself might’ve been the first to make the point. But they got away with it talking about some future promised land, free of EU red tape and regulations with ‘sovereignty’ reinstated, less immigration, greater prosperity etc. They can’t get away with lying about stuff they’ve already caused though. Although talk of low taxes from the party that introduced a record tax burden whilst simultaneously destroying public services, making global inflation pressures even worse, making your mortgage costs thousands of pounds more and just generally making everyone bar the super rich and wealthy retirees significantly poorer is, what the Americans would call, a doozy

I needed my nappy changed.

I had to pinch a screenshot as he banned me for taking the piss when he claimed he wasn't bald, he just chose to shave his head 😂

Really sorry to hear about your news @Dr Gloom fingers crossed for your mother-in-law x

cheers lads. it's a brutal illness and i'm sure future generations will look back at the way we treat it today as barbaric, but it's all we've got for now. there's a 50-50 chance we're all going to get it at some stage because of all the chemicals we're exposed to throughout our lives. not something to loo forward to and horrible to see it affect those you love

Sorry to hear your news Gloomy. Must be a horrible time for your wife. Awful watching people you love suffer.

It’s always puzzled me about Boro- you’d think they’d be more bothered about their local rivals, Leeds.

Big congrats, Dave! ❤️

I despise the cunts especially when their cunt fans claim they do it without oil money, fucking cunts.

So the Jose links aren’t going to fuck off any time soon then

Definitely bad aids for the little fanny rat.

Good news for in store workers.

Yes because Longstaff has been absolutely throwing himself about really getting into people's faces eh?

Leave it!

You don’t want to see 11 ASMs then

Think Excel must be down

I also enjoyed "he's not a racist, he just SOUNDS like one".

Well if his friend, who is white and a Tory peer, says he’s not racist then that’s the debate finished with

That's the dream, isn't it?

This is where the lack of a DoF will trip us up.. if Howe gets the whip hand on what players come in this summer and he gets sacked in November then that is a massive problem..

Finally the original unshopped photo has been released.

Anything other than both is a disaster IMO

Quite glad that Hughes isn't coming, purely for the Bournemouth connection, which doesn't seem healthy to me. Of course, this is from Edwards, so he is probably already here and has redecorated his office.
