You could've just left it there Constant whining because things aren't anywhere near supporters' perception of perfection is really fucking me off. Some people seem as pissed off now as they were when Ashley was owner. Owners. management and players aren't immune from making mistakes because we (seemingly??) expect perfection . Look at the mess Liverpool are in 6 months after winning the title. We are not there, we don't need a total rebuild but we are in transition. Not sure why Joelinton wasn't subbed after about an hour. Having the squad and not using it seems mad. I don't know why he didn't do it but I don't let that and the Brentford debacle etc eat away at me because am not in control of these things so honestly what is the fucking point? We could see Ashley was a fucking fraud and Bruce was fucking winging it. We could see Pardew's vomit inducing brown nosing of the owner. We could see the farce of both appointments of Kinnear. We could see the honesty of Hughton and how he was crapped on and how Keegan and Rafa tried to raise standards until they they were both undermined. Two humiliating relegations. NOTHING IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS HAS BEEN REMOTELY AS BAD AS ANY OF THAT. That's something we shouldn't lose sight of iyam

0-2 woltemade with them both as he finishes off the job in france his forefathers so badly let him down on in 1945

Urghhh.

About 3 weeks ago the owld dear over the road was taken into hospital. When I saw a couple of paramedics over the road I was a little worried. She must be close to 90, but she is mentally all there and a good laugh actually but her mobility isnt there. Anyways one of the paramedics came over and told us she was been taken in because she had bad infection in her leg. Owld dear was stressing because of her dog. So I looked after the dog until her dog walker came to collect it. Not seen anything since and its sad. We've had her for dinner a few times in the 8 years we have lived here and go shopping for her etc. Anyway, last few day at work have been a stress. One of the bairns who works directly for me is a waste of oxygen. Shocking attitude etc. I want them gone. We had a deadline today for a key client and we missed it because they basically lied about something being done. Anyways I have had to seriously kiss arse this afternoon. So got to 5 and I went straight for a pint. Other bairn who works for me came and we had a pint. Then Mrs Wilson messaged to tell me she was in the hair dressers and she said she cba cooking so lets go for food. So went for a bite to eat and a nice glow of a couple of beers and a glass of wine. Got home and there was an ambulance outside the owld dears. Anyways she's home! So we've just had a cuppa with her and a catch up. Honestly. We we're sat with her and she told us how she was really ill and she was scared as she has no family here. Her only family is in Canada and they're elderly too. She said it was so nice to have a cuppa with us. Fuck em, I was crying! I know she's not going to be around forever but it was lovely to see her and she's not lost any of her humour. Feet up now and try and forget about the budget, politics and other shit. Have a good weekend all. Much love

With that this beardy cnt is away back to being a recluse, I look forward to your next Christmas letter. Have a good holiday with Tonali tracking his man this weekend (last night...fuck me) ChristmasTree unveils a new creepy hobby Renton can upload all the stained glass window photos he likes Special gift for ewerk and g-man

If ever a post deserved a ban.

Neither is mental illness.

This is yet another result where Howe has not won an away match. We need to not let Howe fool us and maintain the enquiry.

Winning now. Gemmill at it again

Lovely little shithouse is our gaffer.

What's the difference between Arne Slot and Steve McClaren? Arne Slot has an authentic Dutch accent.

It's like when he's unleashed in the kitchen, substituting all the wrong ingredients in. "And now the finishing touch...... Lewis Miley as part of our front three..... ....... Thoughts?"

Micky Jnr African Football Journalist makes it 3, and he's my golden source for African Football.

I mean , I know you are all a bit slow, but fucking 60 today Utterly depressing number. And then the wife books a suprise day out. Thinks she’s booked us in to see a big orchestra playing Christmas music and ens up being six violinists playing unheard of classical crap. Walked out after 10 minutes

Watched this in the house with the daughter's boyfriends before they all went out for a works Christmas do, they came back, wor lass put the karaoke on and a very drunken night was had by all till about three in the morning, all started off with a great away win.

Deutschland, Deutschland, über alles… 😉

They should have hung around in appreciation of Gemmill for keeping them in the Premier League for years.

Ruptured his larynx shouting at Aubameyang. True story......

I’ve just got back home after taking Mrs. F. to Crammy hospital 6am this morning. Long story short, she was taken in to surgery to have her appendix out at teatime, all well, but she’s more tripped out than Gemmill and TBD on a Grateful Dead weekend in a peace camp in Wiltshire. God bless the NHS!

Was walking back from taking the lad to school. Car stops on the other side of the road, the dad is a Burnley fan and he leans out the window to shout "Were you laughing at the scousers last night an'all?" Liverpool's misery; bringing everyone together in joy

The club is evolving in every element other than the one that I think everyone forgets. The boardroom is absolutely fucked - what Howe and this squad have achieved (cos its the whole team not the manager and coaching staff only) is incredible. I'm getting the rage over how entitled and angry some of the fuckers in my local pub were last night (Away to Marseille) . Shit this and that, and hammering the team cos we suffered a mistake in the second half against a Champions League away game. This game was always a bad omen in my mind too , I remember this was the first game I was at where the fans turned on Bobby and that was even less shocking than this - Eddie has won a trophy with our club in very extreme conditions given the fuckery above him. (Pardon Darren Earles, obvs - hope he does well) We need to be sustainable and play with the resources we have. Its not a game of FIFA and we aren't a club thats had 10 years of unfettered spending on world class players through 2 generations (man city are gen 2 now, as are liverpool etc). We absolutely have to learn to have gears - but this away form is baffling - especially given we seem to score in the first quarter of the game and go on to lose. <end rant> much love.

Born exactly 10 years apart. It's cosmic symmetry, a thing of bewildering and awe inspiring beauty. And to think, some do not believe in the divine providence of the almighty. Happy Birthdays!

Need to sack off the CL so we can concentrate on getting back into the CL.

I think you’ll find it coincides with them suddenly remembering Jota is dead

Offside rule was designed to stop goalhanging, not to rule out goals because someone's toenail was offside. They need to modernise the current law to just draw lines from feet and for there to be daylight between players for it to be offside

MF, Toonpack, and Rents, sorry to hear about the terrible things going on in your lives at the moment. As others have said hopefully things improve and anything you can do to improve the situation works. As AH said, this time of year never helps emotionally or financially when things are not good. And Ciaoman (and Craig for that matter) hope you were able to scrape something together to save the situation in time. In the hope of filling this thread with a bit of positive news, I no longer have piss in a bag on my leg and a mate has loaded me up with some medical grade skunk - all aboard the Gemmill train

He could turn his Lamborghini into a fireball on a road in northern Spain.

I expect Tino to leave in the summer. CL or not for us doesn't hold much relevance, I fear. City can offer basically permanent CL football and greatly improved wages. And the wages matter way way more. Players aren't sentimentalists about this stuff, rarely ever have been, and especially aren't now with agents in their ears making sure that human emotions don't come into it. And who can blame them? This will continue to happen. We can't offer the wage so we can't compete. This part of football history will be remembered as the beginning of a truly protectionist era, as a response by the established giants to the rise of City and PSG. I also don't see how it ever ends. Not that I have any insight. Anyway, in our lifetime, sport has evolved out of the end of amateurism and local loyalties (at least in a lot of disciplines) to become utterly enmeshed with geopolitics and international business. And that sort of trend doesn't seem to show any signs of reversing. Football is a closed shop. NUFC may manage to overcome it in time but only because we're owned by one of the only entities in the entire world with the financial and political muscle to push its way into the conversation. And we may well do so eventually for reasons that have nothing at all to do with football because there are a lot of people in the world who want to do business with Saudi Arabia. It's all very icky stuff really. I guess we're all complicit so long as we're paying attention. But, hey, I'm a moron and a hypocrite so expect something more than nothing at all from me at your peril.

While users are given some storage space on Toontastic to host their own images, unlimited storage would cause the forum to grind to a halt (and indeed has done so in the past), so everyone now has a sensible limit on the storage available to them here. With that in mind, here are our current recommendations for easy external linking: We recommend https://snipboard.io/ for hosting images. You can upload files directly from your phone or other device ("pick a file").

Once you've done that, simply copy the address from the browser bar, paste it into your Toontastic post and your image will be displayed. A decent range of GIFs can be found via the GIF button in the post creation window here on Toontastic (it's at the end of the row with the bold/italic/underline buttons). If you do need to host your own GIFs, https://giphy.com/ is your friend. You'll need to create an account, but that also means easy access to all of your GIFs on your own page for future use - no more having to upload the same thing any time you want to use it. You can also search Giphy to find GIFs uploaded by others. And of course, don't forget that you can link to any image from any external site in posts on Toontastic simply by copying and pasting the image address - if it exists on the web, there's no need to upload it again here or anywhere else. We'll update this thread as and when different preferred options emerge!

There's a bigger bit of work that'll need done (unrelated "mostly" to the performance stuff ) sadly not one ya can really avoid , but I'd stuck things in place to make it a bit easier knowing it would need done 4-5yrs after andrew took over. I'll chat to him about it anyway nothing for you lot or the standing wipers to worry about

*ahem* *disappears into the fog again*

Tries to classy his 60th up a bit and he would have been perfectly happy with Bon Geordie, duck pizza, and a big telly wank after she's gone to bed.

Even more bizarre that you were following it in the first place

Met a couple of lads last night for a pint. One of them turned 50 earlier this year and he's now in a panic of illness etc. He's one of the fittest guys I know. He's won several age group triathlons and duathlons. BUT obviously anything can happen. I have told him to buy the Daily Stoic book to try and understand you can only control what you can control. I have also told him to read the book called Die with Zero. My BIL takes the piss out of me at times, because I have a saying of 'It's a good life'. If I am with my nephews and playing footy or cars or whatever I feel comforted and just lucky with what I have got. I feel I can appreciate the simple things in life and that for me is what its about. Live for today guys. Tell your loved ones you love em.

Sounds like he needs to... ....no, it's no good, I can't do it. OK, yes I can

That's honking

He’ll be ok once his lift home turns up.

Really sorry to hear about today's news from all involved, seems to be the way that more shit happens when you get older or bad memories come around? I hope just talking on here brings some modicum of light relief if possible? On a slightly lighter note it's thirty years today since my first date with the missus and twenty nine since we got engaged a year later. Trouble is I thought the 13th was tomorrow!!
