It's our 25th wedding anniversary today, we walked past a fairly new restaurant in town a good while ago now which we've never been in before and Mrs HMHM said it smelled lovely so I thought I'd treat her and tonight I'm taking her past it again for another whiff of it.

Nice tribute to County Durham.

Rightyo, now that the outage stuff is sorted it is time to do some proper maintenance and upgrades on this place. I'm timing this to coincide with the usual annual bits n pieces like site renewal and security certificates but a full board software upgrade hasn't happened since 2017 or so so this is a biggie. Since I am unsure how long this work will take I am not going to put a full timeline on it, it might be a day might be the whole week. Most regular users are now on our backup Discord, which will be TT for the time we're down doing this work. If you aren't yet please DM myself or one of the other mods/admins and we will provide the link for you. Any questions chuck them in here or DM me. Cheers!

Mental to me that some randoms from shite leagues are more exciting to some people than proven premier league players. We have seen what Howe does with run of the mill premier league players (like Burn) he turns them into international players. Are all of our first 11 internationals now? Apart from Murphy who should be. We have the best manager in the league at developing players. He has targets that he thinks he can develop. We should give him the grace the buy the players he wants and develop them.

You joined in October 2023

So, my great uncle (who I've talked about on here before) who was missing/KIA in 1915 will be laid to rest, with full military honours etc. In September on the 110th anniversary of the battle/his death. I will be there. Just been on the phone with BBC Scotland who are looking at covering the discovery, identification and ceremony as a documentary and they want to film with me and the artefacts (letters) we have. Yikes Toonpack on TV 😂

Had a lump in my tit. Had to go to the breast cancer clinic to get it checked out. Thankfully it was nothing and the doctor reckoned it's probably off eating too much fake protein in shakes/bars/yoghurts. The experience at the clinic was probably the most emasculating of my life though. A young lass had to squeeze my pec (moob) into a breast scanner, then I had to sit in a waiting room full of elderly women for 2 hours staring at a wall and getting side eyed, before the doctor asked to examine my balls in case I had a lump there too. Drove myself home after and didn't even put the radio on. Just sat in silence feeling violated. FML

Reminds him of the time he made that story up 👍🏻

You can’t knock his choice of best man.

Watching that Olivia Rodridgo lass with my now teenage daughter. "At least she's easy on the eye" I say. "Paedo" says she. FML I feel old.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. PSR is the VAR of the transfer window. In principle its a good idea, and if it was executed well (and fairly) it would make things better, but as it is it doesn't and any chat around it is diabolically boring.

Was that you, I was sitting in the garden with our lass and commented how we very rarely hear crickets around here.

You've been away too long, it's wykiki, the happy-go-lucky Yurkshure Mag.

Gemmill on his 'break' after his first experience of his medicinal cannabis.

Who's this druggie cunt ?

We wouldn’t be bidding unless we’d already got word that the player is interested. Up to him now to dig his heels in and go on strike. Sorry, I’ve just realised who he plays for.

Mate you can still go and watch your beloved Villa Women's team. They've just got a new daddy now.

I feel like Mbuemo was, but as soon as he publicly said he wanted man u and 250k a week we just went "fuck that" and moved on. Given our wage structure I am perfectly happy with that, as much as I rate him.

I had ball cancer the first time so half of Salford and Manchester have seen my cock and balls during inspections. I really didn’t enjoy a doctor bringing in two what looked to me teenage girls, who were apparently trainee doctors. If they have to learn I suppose it best be on the smallest cock in town so they can get used to it.

For those outside the region struggling to understand, “Geordie boys taking the piss. We fucking are ⚫️⚪️” translates as “ Dear Eddie Bring me back please”.

It's one of those Dutch auctions you used to see on those shopping channels, wor MBS is lowering the price by 500k every 30 mins

then he goes out for a jog...

"Tak that, Magimus Saudeyus Ponteylandinium!..... Oh, wait, sorry marra, thought ya warra mag! Do yay hate the mags anaarrl? FTM."

THERES NO TRANSFERS TO TALK ABOUT WTF DO YOU WANT TO FUCKING TALK ABOUT???!! 😫😫😫😫

and no I WONT be cropping that image properly

Sounds to me like they’re trying to get one over on the new lad at work. Did you manage to find the tartan paint they sent you out to get?

Aye, exactly. During the halcyon days of Dan Ashworth. Back when people had transfers to talk about in the transfer thread. It's depressing reading posts from pensioners talking about the music of their youth tbh.

No John Macnamee? Here he is chinning Jack Charlton and then about to chin Bremner. ( he’s already sparked the keeper )

They must've misplaced mine and TBD's invite?

FYP

Were we ever actually credibly reported as being after cunha? Mbuemo still plays for Brentford tbf, he's gone nowhere yet. Though it seems we've moved on. Delap had most of the league after him because that release clause was buttons and he went where he'd be first choice. I get where you're coming from KD but Im just not at panic stations yet. Our best business has never been public and I feel like a lot of our fans who are panicking just aren't quite used to us being linked with anyone moving yet since Ashley left.

This bollocks makes it seem like they've sold themselves short at £200m. We were sold for £305m 4 years ago and it took Ashley a while to get a buyer. We're a club with over 100 years of history, one of the highest attendances in the country and huge international recognition - not to go all SMB but I've had people call out/comment positively on a Newcastle shirt in New York, Hawaii, South Africa, Italy, Sydney, Melbourne (and call out and comment negatively in London). I'm genuinely happy that women's football support, viewership and participation has had massive increases in the last 5 years but the reality is that it will always be a vastly inferior product as far as the game play is concerned. These sort of stunts to fund the main event only serve to make a mockery of the progress that has been made.

So that's Delap and Pedro they've conceivably done us for in just one month... Think an admin might as well close the "Gazumped y'fuckas!!" thread. Sorry @Howmanheyman but it's for the best.. Had to meet (suffer?) some of the now semi permanent Mrs PL's work colleagues last night. There was a kid there called Kelvin who is a 27 year old Nigerian Arsenal supporter. I told him beware Chelsea for the title next season and he laughed in my face. I also told him that Arteta was too mentally weak to win a league title. That fuckin shut him up

Posts 400 of the 400th thread on "Mag tops"

When I had the finger up the arse just before Christmas, he kept pressing really hard and going "and that doesn't hurt?"...... "errr no, I mean it's not nice but it doesn't hurt" which he just seemed to take as a personal insult and tried again "..... That's not hurting?!" As close to being finger fucked as I've ever been.

Looks like Pope meant to post that on Wilsons page?

Schrodinger’s mackems. Where you’re simultaneously a ‘massive’ club with global recognition whilst being utterly obsessed with how you’re perceived in relation to your rivals (as per that thread) and are a stepping stone for promising youngsters

"Ah definitely recognise this, marra. It's a globe of the earth. 99.5% of it is Durham, the rest is mag territory."

I enjoyed the Geordie Journos episode where one of them branded Romano "a tit".

Is it the knees by any chance ?

"Nearly at the top, marra! FTM!" "FTM! Ah bet the Mags couldn't climb up Penshaw monument like us? Gerrin!"

Was that article before the £45mil bid was rejected for Elanga or after? I remember back in the summer of 69, around the time I got my first real six-string, players didn't sell for anywhere near the amount they're going for these days. Moneys gone mental these days, really miss the vibe back then, evenings at the drive-in, playing in a band, those were the best days of my life.

“Whacked an Italian gadjey in the fayace with a plackey sword.” - Great way to explain to hospital staff why you got stabbed with an actual sword.

Errr say what?
