"Ah thought ah recognised the face, anyways, here's a headline ah did earlier about that time ah worked with the kid from Yorkshire ...."

Well, I think that's the PSR problems all sorted.

Talking about this stuff with like minded people is, for me at least, important. It reminds me that for all my frustrations and fears about the world, I'm not alone. As someone with an anxious disposition I do often feel better just running things past you guys. Like for instance I posted the other day about Trump and Starmer, and KCG made a counter point and I felt better. Sometimes of course things are as bad as I think they are, and no one has anything reassuring to say, but at least we're all in it together. I do try to avoid being constantly in politics chat these days but I think dabbling is ok for the sake of sanity. If we don't do that, then speaking for myself at least, I feel even more powerless and isolated in the storm. EDIT - I'm gonna add as well that I also appreciate (and I think Renton knows/values this too ) that Gemmill's suggestion here is an attempt at kindness and care because he can see the anxiety in what is being said. Sometimes switching it all off is indeed the right thing.

FFS, that's disgusting. Does anyone know where I can find these videos so I can disgust myself in private later on?

That is his job. Fish's boss: : "Can you knock me up a spreadsheet on Business xG please Fish?" Fish: "Not that simple boss"

Alright Savile.

"Get onto our PIF contact, let's get a few disruptor bids in for Wood at Forest, Mitoma at Brighton and Kluivert at Bournemouth." "Should I add Garnacho at Man U or Rashford?" "Hahahahaha, let's not give Ratcliffe any false hope!"

Good luck to him. Hope he doesn't get deported.

If it looks like Lee Charnley and it talks like Lee Charnley...

Your issues with her centre on you trying not to shout her name when you're on the vinegars, you dirty old "moved in for a closer look" KERNT.

I stopped reading after this:

There's a happy medium to be had between being constantly switched on to it and burying your head in the sand but ultimately it's whatever makes you happy and I don't think being as plugged in as Renton is is making him happy.

Yeah he’s said it at least twice a week since he quoted various centrist political voices saying Kamala would piss it last November. He got it so hideously and categorically wrong he can’t bare to be reminded of it. It’s a bit like Everton with real world consequences. Trump and Farage don’t worry me, theres fuck all I can properly do about them but silence is complicity

I chopped all news and politics pods out of my life last November, added a couple of music ones and, of course, Chart Music. I can highly recommend it. I also haven't seen whatever Renton is talking about with Trump and Mandelson. Head in the sand lads. Just enjoy your day. Let those dickheads do their stuff, you're not gonna stop them.

I think there's zero chance we move out of the city centre, it's a SJP renovation or a kick up the arse from SJP new stadium if the latter is feasible it's a no brainer they go for it.

Location is absolutely key. There isn’t a stadium in the country in a better location than ours. The obvious comparison is Man City, I’ve been in Manchester for 10 years now and I’ve seen the redevelopment around the area. I’ve been in the home and away end at their new stadium. Ultimately, they have thrown hundreds of millions at it, it’s impressive facilities but it’s a dump. It’s at the arse end of “new Islington” (where I had a flat) which before the stadium had been a horror show unless you were going to sankeys for a couple of pills. The lower capacity, if redesigned well could incorporate more corporate seats (where the real money is), at minimal loss/or increase of normal seating for the regulars, increase the commercial income from extras like drink/food, keep the demand high so we don’t end up with an “emptihad” situation which kills the atmosphere and most importantly keeps us city centre. Could be chatting shit though, I haven’t seen the feasibility reports.

Its in my favourites.

Bookmarked.

Didn’t the premier league hold an emergency meeting and rush through a new set of rules when we sold Maxi for 20 mill?

Unless there's a monumental fuck up by the English teams leading up to the Quarters, it's basically aim to finish top half of this 6 team mini-league. Forest Man City Newcastle Chelsea Bournemouth Aston Villa

Steve Bruce was manning the phones at 10.30pm on deadline day trying to get a loan deal across the line for Hamza Choudhry. That's the sort of work ethic we need. Time to roll your sleeves up, Paul.

Fanks, Mike

Insert shady cabal of Tyneside businessmen meme of choice here @Howmanheyman

It's been ramped up considerably, raids in schools, workplaces and churches. In Arizona they "arrested" 15 Navajo indians ffs as illegals!! They're placing quotas on ICE agents, the round-ups will only intensify. On the bright side it's 4 years until our next election, Trumpism will likely fuck up massively in that time so hopefully even the hard of thinking who would vote for reform will be "oh no fuck that" by then. As the hugely impressive AOC says:

RFK Jr gets his kids vaccinated but doesn’t believe in vaccinations to the general public. That’s all you need to know about the man.

That's Dippers future wife right there

https://metro.co.uk/2025/01/29/woman-charged-inappropriate-videos-uks-first-cyber-farting-case-22459049/ Some daft boiler is up in court for sending her boyfriend’s ex videos of her farting aggressively Sample of the quality journalism in the write-up ”Evans will also have to carry out 15 rehabilitation sessions for her sphincter whistles and must abstain from alcohol for two months” If you’re going to get a record, might as well do it in style.

Only longstaff provides decent rotation options these days though. Targett and Miggy have barely featured and are the obvious ones to bin off. Longstaff can still do a job despite how frustrating he can be at times. I’d not sell for less than £20m.

If we can get around £10m we've done really well. Worth a punt to Leeds because he's one of those "get you up, keep you up" types.

I can make a change though, I can get different employment. Application forms being completed tonight. And anyway, I accept completely I can't change things in a wider way. Who here has ever said they can? But there's nothing in that AA maxim that says remain ignorant about your situation, in fact, that's almost the opposite of what they mean. Stay aware and mindful of the situation you find yourself in is pretty key with alcoholism. Anyway, I am entirely aware that toontastic is mainly a place for shits and giggles as the World burns, so I'll leave it there.

Apologies mate, I didn't realise you were a disabled, black transgender dwarf. They're definitely gunning for your job.

Yeah, I need to post some screenshots of Sarah Kendzior tweets. That's how you fight fascism.

Yeah, he's probably knackered, bless him.

That's what I thought TP meant was the betting fix - letting him score.

I’m trying to play along with it and stay in the dark with the scores. Fuck me, are you auditioning to be on it? You’re about as hard work

Fucked if I know. The Germans seemed to just march into every European country they fancied.

Garnesh on SSN sounding absolutely incredulous at the news that Aston Villa have had the cheek and audacity to pick their striker tonight in the Champions League. They're unbelievable.

I dunno. Maybe sign a player?

a 70k new stadium on leazes park would be great. fuck knows what this bubble wrap craic means. i hope they build at least one steep kop end behind a goal in a bid to generate a decent atmosphere.

If you can't smile at this.....

He’s a smack head too. Not to disparage the honourable pastime of hitting the brown but they aren’t usually the most trustworthy.

I’d like to see the player who they’ve got in mind for Murphy replacement and his price tag. People are making this single upgrade sound exceedingly fuckin simple. His level at the moment is fuckin unreal. A purple patch? Well yes it very likely is. If he was Brazilian playing through balls like the one he did on Saturday people would be going out of their fuckin minds and hailing his utter genius though..he is, and his replacement needs to be, probably at Bruno’s level of skill if we are to keep supplying Isak with the service he requires to shoot us into the champions league Then we need to pay for him . Answers on a postcard to P. Mitchell at Barrack Road NE1. If Murphy keeps doing it a young lad to train up might be the answer because a literal upgrade might be out of our price range

He has barely been fit since we signed him permanently. I'd take £5m and off the wage bill.
