Aye, you're right. We really need to turn this round now though otherwise the gap will be unassailable. Got to get 6 points from the next two league games, including fucking this "kenny" person I keep hearing about. NYD is probably a write off.

Yeah, she's wrong but at least she showed her workings. 7/10

She's a catholic I think. Having grown up in that environment myself I now hate the church.

Aye, but Fish has escaped the shooting galleries of Blyth and lives in the Midlands now.

I'm loving the football right now so want to keep it interesting as long as possible. It's more than 8 months until the next season kicks off. I don't see us having the consistency to do much in the league other than qualify for a minor european cup - the type you turn your nose up because they don't come with much money. The FA cup, well, if we beat the mackems and have a run of some easier or home games then maybe. But then if we go out you will reverting to this type of post again. It's just been a hugely disappointing week which has really fucked up the whole season imo, and I'm still feeling a bit crap about that. Not weird, not hysterical.

Me personally, it's not about expectations not being met, its disappointment that they have been met. You can be as cool as you want in your analysis but football is an emotional game to most and to be bitterly disappointed about going out the two competitions I think we had a realistic chance of winning (LC and EL I mean) just before Xmas is not weird or hysterical. I am fully behind Howe and the strategy, I fully agree we will improve and challenge better in the near future. I am happy with the course of the club. I'm just gutted for now cos I'm not a fucking robot.

People always say this but from my memory he was injured for nearly all of the 2021-2022 season? NOT HAVING A GO btw, but it was the improvement inother players that saved us imo.

Just got that pesky FA cup fixture to lose now and we're sorted!

I think it's just to recognise he's fucked up and not put him on a pedestal which some people tend to. And yeah, I'm canny gutted. Honestly, feels like the season is effectively over before Christmas. We've no fucking chance in the FA cup, and our away form is so poor I can't see us getting top 4 in the league with the improvements in other teams. Not that I've ever cared that much about top 4. Qualify for the CL, and people start twisting about it affecting our league form! What's the point in all this if we never win anything?

Agreed tbh. I don't know what's got into Trippier recently. Also think the stuff about tiredness last week was pretty weak. But today he's pissed me right off both for conceding and missing the goal for his penalty.

I've been doing that for most of the last 30 years though.

Gemmill needs to have a thread starting ban. At least. Oh well, look on the positives, we can concentrate on the league.....

Really? We've fucked it mate.

Feel sick. No silverware for us AGAIN.

Really sorry you reached such a low point Craig. I'm living proof that in a realtively short amount of time you can turn things completely around though. As has been said, there are many good listeners on here. Even though most of us haven't seen each other for years or perhaps have never met, this is a community of real people who really care. You're so right about bottling things up too. But sometimes its so hard, especially as a man, to find the right release. Hope you do mate.

Survived this round but its like squid games at the moment. Fuck all chance of a pay rise though I imagine.

I'm interested that there's nothing about his magnificant reduction in the number of SmaLl BoATs there. Well, I've just received news of a round of redundancies at work, so the tax breaks aren't going to help much. Merry Shitmas Rishi.

Aye. Just before christmas too, fucking cunts. I wonder who the land lord of that building is and if the other premises are safe, especially the surf shop. I was told once it was owned by the Grand Hotel but not sure about that. I can only guess the plan might be to use the building in its entirety for something shit. There's nowhere I can think off in Tynemouth for the cafe to relocate either.

Fuck off you boring baldy southern ponce.

A leather case. Fuck me, congratulations Mr Rees-Mogg.

Get a clear case for it then, obviously.Another potential issue for the fold - can't see a case working well on it and at that price I don't want to scratch it.

A fucking 2 decade old Android vs. Apple debate? Thing is as far as I can tell flagship Android phones and iPhones are converging in terms of functionality and price so who gives a shit? Personally, I like innovation. I would like to get a fold as my next phone but fuck paying £1800 for it like.

Fairly fucked off about this. My local cafe seemingly being shafted by the land lord. It's always packed out so obviously profitable. Has had acts like Sam Fender playing there in the past, nit many venues like it.
