I might actually pull a Skirge and sit with SSN on all day today so I get the breaking news of who is being charged for PSR. Given that no fucker can afford to buy anyone cos of their shit new rules, the PL should make more of PSR CHARGES DAY as a replacement for deadline day. Get Vince McMahon to produce it.

1. That a certain poster is a fan of two middle aged men spending an unusual amount of time together isn’t a total surprise tbh 2. Another poster is seemingly a fan of men in leotards, this checks out too I just wish you’d both been more open about your feelings before now

Or:

Thanks, now we know why you're the gurru.

He got talking to @thebrokendollin the strawberry apparently...... "Here's me hand, here's me heart.....errr, I mean, here's me ticket, there's me seat. Being an old Newcastle fan, hardest game in the world. Is that my shirt you're wearing?"

I think he's ok with Edwards as well, he thinks Whese Keyes Louise is a knacker, reckons Hope is a bit of a worky cunt and thinks the Knight is on a care in the community initiative at a local paper.

Just for balance, there's another one where Bella Emberg is working you like a glove puppet.

Many cosmologists believe the Universe is infinite. Or that we live in a multiverse of infinite universes. In this scenario we have not only already won the title, infinite times, but my wife, Margot Robbie, is currently giving me a champagne enema as I type.

Just heard a sports bit on the radio where 'Unitedl'© aren't expecting any incomings but will be hoping they can sell Casimero to Saudi because, hey! That's perfectly fine when the selling club trying to offload finished players for a fee that doesn't meet current market value play in red shirts in the NW of England, nothing to see here, guvnor. Also actually stating they're wanting other clubs to pay more than half of Antony's wages if he goes on loan which again is perfectly fine as by coincidence I've only just informed the Jackal's wife in the new series that I'm expecting some saucy behaviour from her next time I venture to España.

Journalists need to write something and it’s the go to story for the lazy bastards this month. They and we all know it’s not happening this month but if we don’t get top 4 it could well happen in the summer. Theres fuck all else to say, but that won’t stop journos stating the bleeding obvious. I blame Dr Gloom tbh, he’s one of them

Aye but you were watching him from a distance. If you looked at his highlights reel from this season an outsider would think he's done pretty well. It's what he offers when he isn't scoring that's the issue and that's clearer to us because we're watching every game.

Its a canny day on the forum!

Poor bastard, the weight of his headband has crushed his neck

However, the treble remains in our sights this season.

Outside of a freak season, we need to strengthen massively across the squad, not just the first team. Having said that, if Man City cease to turn up with the cheat codes every year, that definitely changes things in terms of bringing a potential title challenge closer. The other teams challenging are all challengeable by us, if they drop off even slightly. If we get CL next year though, we'll see all over again how far short we are squad wise to compete across 4 competitions.

I will say though, it must be canny hard when you're not getting any starts, and the other lad in your position is so far ahead of you and a fan favourite. He always looked a decent player at Leicester, I thought.

We've done well with injuries so far this season and a lot of that has to bed more than luck, credit has to go to Bunce. We're nearly at the end of the most intense period of the season and have come out of it largely unscathed. After this week it's pretty much one game a week, bar a few occasions, so the workload on the players decreases substantially. Recruitment won't be a case of us ringing round to see who's available. We'll have our pre-determined targets and if any of them are there for the taking at the right price then I'm sure we'll act but this isn't a month to push things if you don't have to. As we saw from last year, it looks the week before 1st July is the Black Friday for footballers, might be best to keep our powder dry until then.

It could be that Barnes is much better when he gets settled into the team and has a run of games but the quality of Gordon makes that look very unlikely unless the latter gets an injury. And he seems pretty durable up to now. It’s hard because he is a much better option off the bench than some other teams have but he probably also wants to start games.

Like Fred And Gino's Road Trip, but replace the amiable restaurateurs with two 90s drug casualties.

Bird news from Italy

Maybe not.

I’d settle for CL football next season and winning the League and FA Cups

How fucking depressing?

Finished 7th in the league twice in my lifetime. We finished 7th last year and were disappointed. Hell, we finished 7th under Glen fucking Roeder and 5th under Pardew. Four appearances in Europe against two teams. Wigan have played six games. Massive.

We have three current England internationals

The pride they'll have when another one of their products dumps them before he plays 100 matches with them, and they claim trophies he wins elsewhere as their own. All while their actual captain continues being a slogger scrapping around the Play Offs as he marches towards 500 appearances for them.

Putting a few levels all round their gaff would create even bigger wind vortexes on the pitch. They’d likely actually witness* an F1-2 Shitnado. *obviously not eye-witness, as there’d still be no cunt there, but you know what I mean.

Was he pinching some of his tartan blanket?

🎶 Get your flasks out for the lads! Get your flaaaasks ooout for the lads! 🎵

It was more a criticism of Barnes’ performance than him as a player overall. Because form is so important and it’s difficult to get that without starts. There’s also a case of maybe trying too hard to impress in a match like the one at the weekend. And that sometimes makes you play worse, is detrimental to your decision making etc. But games do tend to pass him by when he starts. He’s been excellent on the whole as an impact sub. But with regard to my comments about selling him, for where we are as club and with the spending rules, that’s a lot of money on wages and a transfer fee with someone who is only getting 30 minutes or so.

The lack of respect that is being shown to Viv Devito, who also chose to live in Walkerville, is off the scale here. You're just lucky his twin brother isn't around anymore.

Some people dream about buying a house in Alnmouth. Some people dream of Darras Hall. Some people dream of buying in Jesmond, near the Dene. But Viv and his wife had a special dream. They dreamed above their station. They dreamed with no limits. They dreamed of living in Walkerville.

He should keep his pecker up.

I went early on “useless cunt” and I’m sticking by it

this cunt still on his christmas holidays then?

FYP

Barnes is 28 end of this year, I reckon he is what he is, now.

Sorry but I just clocked the relative attendances for the FA Cup games They have no business saying a damn thing atm.

100%. Get you out the Championship, keep you up then thanks very much would be the normal way of doing things

To be fair, I think that is what @Howmanheyman has done many times.

It's Stoke season marra.
