Basically this with a tab sometimes with a walking cane.

The old magpie when referring to NUFC in the chronicle etc would have a tab in it's mouth, had nothing to do with monty magpie. I had a framed picture on my wall with the old castle/magpie badge in the middle, with two waistcoat wearing magpies either side of it with top hats on, tab in their beaks with 1882 on it before they invented 1892 in the 90s.

There was a bloke I worked with years ago who had that nickname for that reason.

I saw an advert for a job there a couple of years ago, everything was 'Balou' T&C's, (they offered only the bare necessities) but the crowning jewel in the perks other than 'free parking' was, I shit you not, a Christmas card from Mr and Mrs Dickson. (I should've applied just for that alone!)

They do good scones and their stotties are decent. (I don't bother with the sweet stuff so can't say anything on those). The vegan sausage rolls are ok too. The normal sausage rolls are atrocious and the pasties etc are edible I suppose if you don't mind it repeating on you for a few hours afterwards.

They've not long had an official union there which tells you everything you need to know about them considering their longevity as a business.

I know, they've always been a Newcastle based business but whether it's them themselves, (it is) plus others happy to jump on board they're now going down the Guinness/Irish business advertising route. Put it another way, would anyone have automatically linked Greggs to 'Geordie-ness' a decade or two ago? I just find it a bit false tbh and all apart from that, if that photo is legit then that lad must surely be one of those fans you cringe seeing in the media.

I will NEVER get on board this Greggs = Geordie thing like, sorry. Tends to be southerners and people under 40.

If Jamie carragher could now take a camera crew, find van dick and ask him to do a dance for him that would be canny.

A bit of humble pie for us I'm afraid, that really was a special European night at Anfield. Couldn't have went better for us but we'll need that and more to beat these. A bit of luck would be much appreciated and is waaay overdue.

No, but he's driven past the Walker dome.

Sacre bleau!

Salah confused, 'I normally get a pen in the PL for that?'

Fresh legs helping Liverpool a bit more which is another worry for the weekend as we get tired and don't have the depth.

Hopefully Paris score and Liverpool have to flog themselves trying to equalise in ET.

I hope Bonnie Tyler is getting royalties from these french fans?

If I could watch football on TV and never have to listen to the waffling cunts again that would indeed be champion.

Liverpool fans apoplectic that they're not getting any super soft decisions, don't worry lads, I'm sure normal service will be resumed on Sunday when you get a compliant English ref again.

Just got the crowd noise on Amazon, far, far better than listening to the chumps talking shite about everything and nothing on the commentary.

Just like the first game, only themselves to blame.

Sillykishi are whatever he's called from Napoli would beat us on his own.

Absolutely howling at Amazon keep turning the sound down when the French are singing after giving the red carpet treatment to you'll never walk alone.

No idea?

Well the 'Ashington reds' will be happy anyway, still waiting to hear the Bilbao black cats reaction but I'm hearing they're a bit disappointed as they supplied the red devils first away kits when they were Newton Heath, (but they didn't want to make a fuss about the shirts, it was nowt, really. Honestly, don't even mention it, they've forgotten about it already).

May their balls fester and their arseholes seize up.
