All the best, gentleman, hope you're ok Gemmill? Makes a change the finger up the arse being for purely medical purposes I suppose? (I might be having a similar experience soon).

No, I've never been a fanny for stuff like that, TP. (It's bugging me just because of the timing of it's appearance). "Damn you virus! Damn you to hell!"

Merry Christmas, enjoy your 11-ish drink. 👍

Looks like I've got a cold, nothing serious but I'm sure the same thing happened last Christmas around Christmas eve. It knows when to make an appearance.

Used to have the 2nd Jan off as a BH when I worked at S&N even though we were in Newcastle.

An excerpt from the guardian match report, "If facing the power of a nation state-funded opponent was not enough." Meanwhile the BBC mustn't think the power of a nation state is all that as their match report featured how were we going to hold on to Isak?

Greetings from France....

Hard agree.

The club's now selling a couple of 'new' retro shirts including the 88-90 striped away shirt which would be great but it's more a replica of the DHGate version with the bigger than original collar. Staggering if a professional retro retailer can't get it right tbh. There's also a one from Pardew's time, unsponsored like the 88 shirt for some reason which I wouldn't think will be flying off the shelves. https://shop.newcastleunited.com/collections/retro

Some positive signs for Man U according to the SSN presenter........

I wish I had've caught the names of the knackers on 5L the other day blowing smoke up the arse of the new manager the who couldn't believe the effect he's already had at old Trafford. Whey aye. WHEY AYE.

Why did I turn it over?

Turned it off, they'll only get a flukey goal or something and the media tongues around old Trafford will start to take on a shade of brown. Not for me, Clive.

Just put the global PL feed on for Man U v Bournemouth, Bournemouth 1-0 up and there's genuine angst and worry for Man U. Lads, you're supposed to slightly favour the underdog. Sorry? Oh right, you are favouring the underdog.

I thought Grealish chose the wrong option going to man city which seems crackers looking at the stuff they've won but to me every time I see him he's in the wing where at Villa he'd drive on through the middle. Purely on his development it was a mistake imo. (He still gets picked for England because he's not going to be dropped playing for a CL team especially under Southgate).

We were streets ahead of Brentford away first half. 2-2 HT score was a sick joke.

'Do you hate the Mags anaarl, marra?' 'Not really, they've just battered ipswich.' Mackem....

Ditto.

Amazing goal and assist.

Three nil is flattering them.

One of their lot attacked a teenage Norwich fan in front of his younger sister a few years ago so I think it's already ended? Maybe he gave off Mag vibes?

I'm watching it on Hong Hong Kong TV. I don't know what they're saying on the adverts but they seem quite enthusiastic about it?

If Norwich can hang on at Sunderland I can see them celebrating with some Geordies tonight when they go back to Newcastle after the match if we beat their rivals.

We're murdering them.
