"After much deliberation with my partners we didn't feel Newcastle would've added much value to the rich energy brand."

Start a thread then. Get it sorted.

phew!

thanks lads, you're good eggs. it's my first experience seeing cancer up close with a loved-one and it's every bit as brutal and devastating as you imagine. solidarity to all of you who have been through similar. it's a funny one. she wasn't my mam, but i've never known grief like it. i lost all my grandparents, which was incredibly sad each time, but they were all elderly so it was easier to accept. my mother-in-law was only 69. and not only that she was a really young 69 - so full of life, energy and fun. she had so many friends - there were close to 200 people packing out the crematorium - people of all ages. she was also a fierce political activist and was often found outside the houses of parliament protesting against brexit or fascism, was a big supporter of the nhs and lgbtq rights. she also pretty much raised my kids through pre-school years, saving us a fortune on childcare fees and showering the with the sort of love and attention a childminder would probably struggle to replicate. i hugely admired her and loved her very much. we will miss her terribly.

Mexico on Friday, boys. Strangely dreading the 10 hour plane tourney but the free drink will probably help. If I over indulge and end up trapped in a Mexican prison for life, it was good having a bit crack on with you all. Well, most of you

The fact so many on there are claiming he's "sound for a mag" or a "decent fella" makes me feel a little bit better about my irrational dislike of him (as a bloke) based on nothing more than second hand accounts of what a cunt he is

"Hahaha a-listen to this MAMALUKE! He look like-a changing room-a but he sound-a like-a trainspotting!"

I’ve just driven round Yeovil’s one way system 3 times to find a carpark. This after: 1. Dude in cafe couldn’t understand what I was saying, when I asked for milk he gave me sugar 2. Dude in premises I’m attending this morning laughed in my face and said “WELL I DIDNT UNDERSTAND ANY OF THAT!” when I was explaining what I’m there to do, in front of his clients and colleagues 3. Car play has stopped working, no audiobooks/podcasts Hope you’re all having a better morning than me

The Geordie cunts just lap up the long-term strategies.

He's just a sheet metal worker's son from Salford

Typical Dave….all fart and no shit

Cast your mind back to then. Newcastle were undoubtedly a big draw for most players. But Man Utd were one of the biggest clubs in the world, had just won the double and were managed by arguably the greatest manager of all time. And Keith thinks Shearer choosing Newcastle over them at that time is a good example to demonstrate that Shearer has never been a ‘real fan’ of NUFC? Even by his standards, that is unbelievably stupid

Instead of putting this stuff in the general football chat threads, I'll keep it all in here.

Is this going to be like the Guehi thread with no stats and just a lot of mackem behaviour?

Joel "she touched" Matip

Speaking of unintelligible freaks, I’m spending the next 9-10 hours in Wisbech. I almost dropped in on Meenzer but as I went past his gaff I noticed the net curtains were drawn and Gnorman the Gnarden Gnome was turned towards the wall, so I took it as meaning he was WFH* That, and my “passenger” was starting to come round- even with the ball gag and the sack on her head this one’s a proper screamer, so I didn’t want to upset the neighbours- maybe next time Meenz? So, Wisbech… absolute pig fuckers * WFH- either Working From Home or Furiously Hard.… … potayto potahto.

She sounds like an absolute diamond mate, and she lives on in the causes she helped champion and the grandkids she helped raise. It's no wonder it's hit you as hard, reading your post.

Will it give us wing(er)s?

Is he speaking English?

Sorry, what? *Make that 'I DON'T understand' by Don Corleone.

Who’s this cunt?

Keith is at it again on a thread about the uncomfortable train journey Alan Shearer's had. "He basically signed for the mags on a whim after all but signing for Man Utd. He's not a real fan and never has been." https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/shearer-on-the-train-back-from-portsmouth.1640125/page-7

Bacon Buttie Bandit Bruce Blackpool. How the fuck does he get work!!!!

They'll be gagging for a cup upset the pack of bastards.

So where the fuck are the stats like?

Cup game against Wimbledon confirmed for 7.45 Tuesday 24th Sept (live on Sky).

generous

Thanks.

Toney's bookie

More good news, dude who laughed at me is from Sicily. I was exceedingly short with him and glared at the ignorant fucker when his lovely female colleague came over to say “yes that’s fine please go ahead” etc. If you don’t hear from me for a few days just to say I’ve really enjoyed posting on here

Alreet Louise Taylor.

Mixed with Midori?

When the menu is the size of a family saloon I admit I get a little bamboozled.

The one way system makes it seem like there is no escape too iirc.

Went to Blyth town centre for the first time ever the other day. Grim old place

Your mind

Don’t know who needs to hear this but here it is anyway https://on.soundcloud.com/WwPvRoefmKUuA85h7

Oh God, there's 2 by 4s with more range. (I learned the lingo from my Joiner)

I find this whole, the club HAVE to tell us what’s going on malarkey, mental. Erm, fuck off, no they don’t.

He’s been a fan for over 70 years and has gotten this worked up over a transfer window. I think Father Time will do the work of an expensive pony for free pretty soon.

Spot on really. I think the slow building of the club within the rules is the aim. It’s not what fans want and may cost us some big names currently at the club, as players’ prime years are a relatively small amount of time and they’re the ones where we can bring in big money too. A point re: Staveley and her husband, a lot of people seem to think their departure is a big part of the reason our targets weren’t signed this window. I’m not sure how true that is, but even if it is, the same people seem to give them a free pass re: the PSR shortfall. Also re: Hope and his ‘sources’. There’s really no way of assessing their credibility. Is it very likely people with much sway have loose lips and are talking to journalists? These sorts of things tend to get embellished at each degree further from the real people in the know too. I’m not saying it was good window, but I think the only real error (because a lot of things are outside the club’s control) was not telling Palace to fuck off weeks ago.

So holiday update. Not seen any football tops worn by adults of any persuasion. No gravy stained mag bag bastards or fans of massive lads to be seen. Some locals in mallorca,. Real, or Barca tops only, and some German teams. However, D2 has made friends with a lass and talked to her parents. They're from Seaham. Got chatting and they're off to watch the match tonight. In support of NUFC. FUCKING COUNTY DURHAM MAGS!!!!!
