Everyone say "Thank you Ant" because he's fucking sorted this in an evening

Saw a group of lasses in Berwick with one lad who I assumed were getting the train down for the Sam Fender concert as one of the lasses was wearing a NUFC shirt. Nobody applauded though so it was a sombre sight and I'm sure any onlookers were secretly disapproving whilst admiring the Sunderland shirt which nobody wore.

Stop unplugging the server every few days Gemmill you rotten bastard

On the campsite in Basque territory. Oz or Dennis nowhere to be seen.

What a statement this is from FIFA, well worth everyone's time so far...

Don't get too excited lads, just a quick two week check in to make sure you're all OK. It's probably felt like about 6 weeks for you, I imagine. Hope Toonpack has been keeping you all entertained with his great jokes. Anyway, I haven't bothered to catch up but I'm assuming there's blind panic at the fact we haven't signed anyone yet, and of the players we are linked with, the forum's player valuation experts have ruled them all "not worth that much". How did I do?

Can't beat a good old chip pan fire. Get the fire brigade out and the whole house and you're neighbours get a few hours on the Oxygen cylinders with a light show and some men in uniform. Street party 101.

Cos we're not classy and popular like the mackems it's up to us to applaud mate. I'm off to the gig later and I expect to be exhausted the amount of applauding I'll be doing. 👍

I did search for a wrap of speed in images but didn't find anything suitable.

50mg which is apparently pretty standard. I imagine I'm in a small category of people who get such an adverse reaction to it, hence it being the first thing I was tried on. Going on holiday this week then I'll be back to hopefully try something I react to less. Currently the anxiety is preferable 😅

HMHM sorry I've missed this. It's probably with the board issues. You're describing what I've had since I was about 6. I have frontal lobel epilepsy. It sounds like you're having partial seizures. I.e petit mal sezuires. I used to have them loads when I was a kid but had the odd grand mal. Last few years I've had grand mal but they're confident with my new meds they're in control of it. I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of it and sort you out and hope your MRI goes OK. If you need owt just drop me a DM.

Too many drugs in the 90s for that one.

Gennaro Gattuso announced as new Italy manager as they continue to be in absolute crisis. Gooooood.

Is there a way we can crowdfund a reacharound for him as a goodwill gesture? I have relatively short arms, but collectively I think we could manage to reach out and give him a thankful squeeze.

Ant was going to fix the board problems but unfortunately he’s been busy trying to burn foreigners out of their houses in Ballymena.

Sam Fender had Dan Burn & the league cup trophy on stage tonight I can’t imagine how Sunlan is coping

I was on it for a while for anxiety but the side effects were intolerable. I'm not sure if I thought it helped or not, maybe it did. It's really hard to say with some of these sorts of things. I just use Beta Blockers now for days when I'm particularly bad and beyond that call it quits. Hope you're well anyway Andrew, but sounds like the right decision to get off them given the side effects. I'm told different drugs can have wildly varying responses from different people, another type may be better for you.

Hope the MRI goes OK, HMHM.

Ant turning up to fix shit… feels like Theoden waking up…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-43902372 Just worth remembering whose fault this ultimately is. Trump binned the previous deal with Iran because: 1 - Obama had agreed it. 2 - He wanted to buddy up to Netanyahu who didn't like the Obama deal. 3 - He was listening to hawks in his cabinet who never would have been in office in any respectable administration. Had we not binned that, maybe now we wouldn't be here.

Are you the agency lad we’ve brought in for Andrew’s holiday cover?

Who is this cunt?

Im just so grateful his parents christened him William and not Phillip.

chill motherfuckers (thats me away into the ether again)

That's roughly where I'm at too if you substitute red wine with Guinness and the Bordeaux region with an ex-council house in Central-Scotland.

I think it's brilliant! Part timers from NZ get to play Bayern, benfica and boca juniors.

Dan McCafferty highly agrees with this sentiment.

Interesting watch

In the last 72 hours, Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran when negotiations between Washington and Tehran were still ongoing. Iran was caught off-guard. But Iran recovered more quickly from its Pearl Harbor moment than Israel expected. In less than 18 hours after Israel’s surprise attack, Iran responded firing hundreds of ballistic missiles including hypersonic missiles into central Tel Aviv and across Israel. Meanwhile, Israel's Iron Dome failed. Israeli intelligence failed. Now Netanyahu is pleading with Washington to intervene with American Military Power to rescue Israel from certain defeat; a defeat Netanyahu crafted with encouragement from Washington. At the same time, Russia, China, Pakistan and most of the Muslim World are rallying to Iran’s defense. Supplies, equipment and technical assistance are pouring into Iran. It’s time for a reality check: Washington burned through $12 trillion in the Middle East since 2003. Result? 7,000 dead Americans. 50,000 wounded, open borders and 100,000 Americans dying yearly from Fentanyl poisoning. Today, the United States is $37 trillion in debt, a sum that does not include so-called “agency debt.” 77 million Americans voted for President Trump because he promised to end the overseas conflicts and halt the march to WW3. Trump’s mandate is unchanged: Secure America’s borders, ports and coastal waters. Deport illegal aliens, crush the criminals r-ping and murdering Americans. Restore the rule of law. But not one more drop of American blood for foreign wars. One Israeli strike on Kharg Island—where 90% of Iran's oil exports flow—or Bandar Abbas terminals, and Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz. That's 20% of global oil supply. That means disrupted supply chains and runaway inflation. Gas hits $7/gallon overnight. Every working family crushed. Truckers can't deliver food. Economy crashes. For what? So Israel that started this insane war can drag Americans into a wider regional conflict with the potential for nuclear war? We have 40,000 troops in UAE, Qatar, across the Persian Gulf. They are sitting ducks. Iranian Shahed-136 Drones cost $20,000 each. American Patriot Missiles cost $4 million per interceptor. Do the math. We will run through our inventory of missiles and go broke while Americans come home in boxes. The Middle East is on the brink. Here's what Washington must do to defuse conflict: 1. Ask for an Emergency UN Security Council meeting. Ask for an Immediate ceasefire making it clear that Washington opposes the destruction of Iran, Israel and any other state in the Middle East. 2. Demand that Israel stop the killing of Palestinians in Gaza and withdraw its forces from Gaza and the West Bank. 3. Suspend all military aid to Israel until Israel agrees to remove its troops from Gaza and permit humanitarian assistance to reach the people of Gaza. 4. Propose the commitment of Armed Forces from non-aligned nations to police Gaza and the West Bank. 5. Propose that the United States, Russia, China, India and Brazil convene a peace conference to arbitrate the dispute between Israel, Iran and Israel’s neighbors. I led American Soldiers under fire into action. I've seen plenty of flag-draped coffins. I don’t want to see any more. Washington’s warmongers had 22 years. They failed. They lied. They profited while America bled. Time's up. America First means AMERICA FIRST. Not Israel first. Not Ukraine first. Not NATO first. AMERICA FIRST.

Good luck HMHM. Hope it all goes well

Hope you're well Gemmill. No panic in here there but other social media fuck me. Spaniel and Tory are pissing their knickers.

Oh aye, Elvis Costello famously hated owt to do with Newcastle …
