I AM PISSING MY PANTS ITS OFFICIAL

Yep!

The singing Detective is actually being remade for the 2020s....

If you want to feel some love and support for the Israeli people then take a trip over to NI and I’ll take you round some loyalist areas where you’ll see plenty of Israeli flags flying. And obviously it’s because of a deep rooted love for the country of Israel and not just because nationalists support the Palestinians.

All I'll say on the matter is that there was people wondering why the west didn't show as much solidarity with the Palestinians as they did with Ukraine? In the early days there were more Ukrainian flags on view, because of weariness or helplessness there now isn't as many on view but I saw more Ukrainian flags than I have Palestinian flags. (This is in real life in Newcastle, I didn't see any Palestinian flags at all). I understand that London is not Newcastle and on-line you're now seeing what looks like a mass recreation of the camp commandant in Schindler's list just taking potshots of people trying to survive which is the sickest irony going. I just wish every cunt participating would stop and the people responsible for this misery around the world could just slither back under their rocks or take one for team evil and just croak it whatever their colours are. Murder is murder and there's just too much of it going on across the globe lead by cunts who should be in the Hague. I genuinely couldn't give a fuck what religion a murderer is, I'm sure the lawyers at Nuremberg didn't either? I'd also say if the cap fits, wear it, if it doesn't, don't. I don't think for one second every Russian, Israeli, Palestinian, American are murderers or wrong'uns just like every Irishman wasn't during the troubles but I do understand the slight paranoia.

Please don’t stop. Without wishing to put words in people’s mouths, I’d hope everyone on here would be similar to me and would feel terrible about it if you no longer felt able to or wanted to express your views about this on here. I tend to keep out of this but not because of a lack of interest or caring, more a sense hopelessness about the whole situation. On the point of Ukraine as opposed to Palestine then I suppose the main difference in perception is Ukraine being able to defend itself and countries like ours helping them to do so. With Palestine then at best we’re doing nothing and at worst we’re fully complicit (or somewhere in between). It’s highly unlikely any UK PM would or could’ve felt they could act differently but it’s still a marked difference in the stance towards the two conflicts. On the other side I think it must be incredibly difficult to be (for want of a better term) ‘openly Jewish’ and express yourself without fear of being attacked. Either literally or in a figurative sense online and so on. I can’t really imagine what that is like. It’s probably always been a bit like that but it must be so much worse now. I doubt it’s as bad for people with Russian heritage living in the UK even. Although I’m sure that can’t be easy at times either.

Do they even still make that drink.

Keyth: "Alright marras, I'm Keyth, FTM?" Everyone: "Alright Keyth, FTM" Keyth: "I like to make unbelievable yet still somehow dull stories up about the mags anaarl..... God it feyls grayat getting it off me chest." Chair Marra: "dinna worry about it Keyth, wa'al bullshitters ere at massive lads fans and massive tales anonymous, like."

I know we have hardly come roaring out the blocks but the window only opened 16th June and is open till 1st Sept. It was also widely reported we were waiting for some PSR shite to change on the 1st of July, which was literally yesterday.

We’re surely not going through another window without backing Eddie, are we? He absolutely deserves to be backed this summer. There are no longer any excuses to not spend money. We’re about to go into a champions league season. There is extra revenue coming because of that. We shifted Miggy, Minteh, Anderson and Kelly for decent money in recent windows with few coming in the other way. I understand PSR remains a headache but there must be money to spend. Howe can’t be expected to work miracles again with a threadbare squad and all the extra fixtures in the new season. For that reason I’m not worried yet. I expect us to spend a bit of cash eventually. It would be a travesty if we don’t. It must be annoying for Howe however to see other clubs getting their business done early, which is exactly what he asked the owners to do this time. I agree with Craig that some of our supporters on social media are getting hysterical - it’s still early in the window. I suppose my main worry is if he starts to lose patience. His stock has never been higher and he would have no problems getting a job somewhere else if he concludes he isn’t getting the support he needs. Howe is the golden goose - I hope the owners realise this

I'm having to make a fucking piss diary this week btw, before going in to the hospital on Friday to piss into a special toilet to see how fast I can do it. It's a total waste of time as well cos this is for the poor cunts who are up in the night and who drink 1 litre and piss it out in 10 x 100ml trips to the bogs. I'm not remotely experiencing those symptoms but apparently a urology referral at 49 comes with this hurdle. Anyway it's nice to have to write down the volume of every drink you have for a few days and then piss into a jug before tipping it into the toilet. Keeps you honest.

Knopfler went to school in Gosforth, which was historically in County Durham.

Meanwhile, this lad is upset that Going Home is our theme tune, maybe someone should let Mark Knopfler know it's used? Oh. Also maybe someone should contact Elvis yo see if he's okay with them using "Wise men say" [sic]?

Wish you would of predicted it

HMHM aged 12 talking to his mates in the '80s: "Naah man am not supporting the IRA man, a had a dream last night and am supporting our future Saudi overlords".

Interesting mind, I'd say around where I live there were a lot more Ukrainian flags displaying solidarity for the country than Palestinian flags. Admittedly these have decreased markedly due to war fatigue. When I see either I never think about it from the angle of hating Russia or Israel or it people. I believe usually its to express a genuine sentiment for the wars to stop. Edit: posted just after HMHM's post. I think he's spot on.

that is a total fucking stupid, pointless lie. What a set of dickheads they are, they're like their own support group. They're all lying, they all know they're lying, but it's making them feel better about thenselves so no one's prepared to produce the pin and burst the bubble. Proper sad sacks.

I’m happy to judge the window at the end. But it’s undeniably an uninspiring and all too familiar first month or so. I think the club need to learn that we’re not going to progress financially (and therefore on the pitch) by penny pinching on transfers to preserve PSR headroom. The PSR wiggle room needs to be generated by revenue growth and quite frankly taking the piss on the rules like Chelsea and now Villa are doing. Playing with kid gloves like we’ve been doing is incredibly naive. The other PL clubs are the enemy. The sooner the club take that approach and stop playing nice the better.

So, about 80% of what you got in prize money for the Premier League final position? That is fucking batshit. ~£40m for playing against Wydad Casablanca (finished 3rd in the Moroccan league), Al Ain (5th in the UAE Pro League), Juventus (4th in Serie A), and Al Hilal (2nd in the Saudi League)? Going off transfermarkt, just with that windfall, you could buy Wydad Casablanca's squad and still have enough left over to get a 6 bed Georgian in Belgravia. It's just ridiculous.

I had to have a 24 urine collection to check my kidney function once. They gave me this 4 litre plastic collector thing cos they needed to know the volume as well as analysing it for various things. So I kept it under my desk at the hospital, took it home, next day still 6 hours to collect. I'd been dehydrated so I was worried it was less than half full, so in the last few hours I started drinking gallons of water. But then I couldn't stop pissing. I remember just being able to stop as it was overfilling, then stumbling off to the path lab to hand it over as I grabbed my crotch to stop pissing myself. Fun times. I was fine BTW, thanks for asking.

Aye, the rule in this thread should be just to spill what's going on, and don't take the piss too much when people do. Better that people are talking about stuff and getting things checked out.

Wykiki looks to have started his today. Sounds like he'll need two jugs.

When you said piss diary I thought you meant for the Transfers thread.

the new season can't come soon enough

Talking of Wilson did his contract not supposedly end on Monday? And yet no “thanks Callum” from the club. Like a new signing etc

Welcomeback, Muto.

I'd love to tell you it's "would have" and not "would of", but even that would still be wrong ffs. Other than that, absolute zinger mate.

It’s natural to see a lot more support for the oppressed than the oppressors.

I think we may have just witnessed a whoosh?

It is the band.

It’s probably similar, actually. I got chatting to a young Russian kid at a dnb night a few months back. Really nice lad who moved to London because of his love of the music. I got chatting to him in the smoking area about background etc and he reluctantly revealed he was Russian. Prior to that he asked me to guess where he was from, I guessed Eastern Europe before he explained that sometimes people are put off because of his background, which I found really sad. As if he’s in anyway responsible for what is happening back home. I suppose I feel the same when people chant “death to the IDF”. There are plenty of innocent kids in the IDF, who would rather not be following orders

it is. however... nobody loves a bit of richard masters bashing more than me, I despise the cunt but fail to see how he or his organisation is currently responsible for our inability to sign any fucker at all, not even a goalkeeper we by all accounts had in the bag up to a year ago, without quibbling over a few quid. very reminiscent of summer '24 but with less money involved. it's fucking pitiful.

Hope it gets sorted PL, sounds fucking awfull. On the bright side, it did remind me of Joanne Whalley in her prime.

Criticism of Israel does not equal antisemitism. Chanting death of the IDF isn’t antisemitism. Chanting death to the IDF is however most likely a crime in this country but not antisemitic. It is probably wrong and I did think of the likes of Gloom’s conscripted family when I read about it. Bibi seems to liken any criticism of the Israeli government’s actions to antisemitism and it couldn’t be further from the truth but it has worked for him. The likes of Bob Vylan and Kneecap know they aren’t making a difference by making a stand but it keeps it in the public eye when the UK government appears to be doing fuck all about it.

RTG have an “Airport Mags” thread This comment got me thinking…….the barman knew he was a Mackem cos he asked for a blue pop, cheese slice & was fingering his sister whilst jangling his keys

We've missed out on Delap and Pedro and we're still miles apart on a valuation for the lad we've already agreed personal terms with. We're currently miles away from what Forest want for Elanga, and Guehi looks to be off to Liverpool. And pre season starts on Monday. Even if it's true that we had to wait til 1st July for money to go out the door, we could have had deals set up to drop on 1st July, but that hasn't happened. It's clearly not going very well.

Prokofiev was brought up in Hetton-le-Hole

I tell you what. At least we all come on here and have a laugh at ourselves or we get support when needed. Fuck me. Pissing into a jug 🤣

Apologies if people aren't ready to move on with this yet but I find this too interesting not to raise it and I'll forget if I wait a day. https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/52431-how-would-britain-vote-a-year-since-the-2024-election This poll is really interesting to me - Labour is down 7% to Reform, but down 18% to LD and Greens combined. So again, why are we pandering to that 7%... Reform are clearly eating the Tories, not Labour.

Jeez this thread was created prior to the creation of my club!

I used to get the odd IRA, Irish, Gerry Adams cunt comment as a teen if I ever wore a N Ireland top or said where some of my family were from or where I'd been if talking about holidays, some of it was in jest but not all but then I could've walked around 80s and 90s Newcastle wearing a sash and banging a large drum on my chest then picking up a flute and still would've got those comments whereas these days people are a bit more enlightened and it would now be proddy cunt instead.

Look closely

I’m utterly convinced that there’s a secret selection process at the end of training where they put the sexy wenches in to the most embarrassing department’s and the plain Jane’s and boilers get put in the dept’s where you can keep your dignity. “ Oh, Mr. PL, your face looks like a badly topped meat feast pizza, and I see you need a prostate exam too? Follow Nurse Trixie Fox and she’ll utterly destroy any self esteem you once had. “ You need a foot x-Ray? Gunhilde here will be glad to take care of you, just try not to look at her face for too long.”

Am a fucking health economist you cunt, rationing NHS resources is my job. I've said it before, the most cost effective healthcare intervention, using current cost effectiveness methodology, for old people is actually a gun. Seriously. But we need to keep people like me to make these realisations cos you kids are thick as fuck. 👍
