Renton

I thought "the model" was all about developing young local talent? Yet here we are again, flooding the team with foreign mercs?

Boldon Blood Brothers.

I'd say no but then again, pie and peas!

Finally, someone's discovered what MF's bromine is.

Funny you should say that.

This for me. Our biggest problem last two seasons has been lack of depth, it's really hurt us at times. Depending on our new 9 and 27, I think we have a team capable of beating anyone. But crucially, we also have depth to cover inevitable injuries and fatigue.

Honestly, that does sound great. I've forgotten how to parallel park. My car doesn't have this though.

Am sure my Audi A3 BLACK EDITION probably does similar, never felt the need to find out. Maybe I'll give it a go. Thing is, I doubt I'd trust it.

I'm driving long distances less and less and hating it more and more when I do. I've got cruise control on my car but when the fuck can you use it? Its constant 100% attention and you rarely can go at a constant speed on any major road. Perhaps I'll meet up with CT on my next Lochs and Glens holidays.

Honestly man, we all need to let this go at this point, becoming mackemesque behaviour. Let's just look forward to the season and hope Howe gets a tune out the newbies. He's not disappointed before.

The galacticos weren't that successful by Real Madrid standards. Similarly, PSG were pretty shit until they dumped this strategy. It's not the way to build sustained success. I hope each and everyone of them is an injury prone flop and the club goes bankrupt.

Nearly right.

Was great thanks. Got the back to work blues, obvs. Not helped by watching SSN and me reading the Ian Dunt article J69 posted. 👍

Just got back from my hols this afternoon and made the mistake of putting SSN on. They were repeatedly talking about this being the greatest final transfer day ever, as if that is the sport. And aye, the Liverpool love in was more excessive than anything ManU had. They've won the league and now spent north of 400 million to defend it, in the full knowledge the PSR rules have been set up to enable this and take away any future competition. VAR and PSR are ruining the game. I keep thinking eventually they'll kill the goose that laid the golden egg, but it's all about international audiences and football tourists. Who knows how this will all end.

For different reasons those three all look pretty dodgy at the moment. They've made new fwiends with Brentford now, and citizen mackem is expected to do their duty and inform football visitors of the wonders of their magnificent city and its facilities, including FOUR chain hotels no less! No need for away fans to stay in Newcastle!

The Cheshire lifestyle where they can enjoy drinking Pimms with Fish?

And Eddie Murphy.

And, btw, as if kids become productive at 18. We're not all bound for the SCS show rooms you know. I didn't do a single day of productive work before 30 years excepting my fantastic shift as a land hermit crab salesman in Wildwood NJ.

Get to fuck.

Yeah. Buy those fuckers live 500 plus years. Do the percentages before you start waffling on about trees. 👍

Btw, this is deffo book 2. Bamburgh property is expensive you know.

It's gonna be called "Misplaced Childhood". Not a reference to the classic 1980s concept album by Marillion, although clearly a pun, but actually about a futuristic dystopian society (of course) where working class children are injected with drugs to make them mature much quicker so they are not a burden on society (there is no equivalent in the animal world as human which have such long feckless adolescence). I might add in s bit of Logans run euthanasia. The rest is a bit sketchy but you're welcome invest in my Patreon. ☝️😁

Well, I only found out yesterday Ibiza is actually called "Eivissa". And I've been here twice before. Its very hot and I'm probably about 48 hours away until I start getting the fear about going back to work thanks. Trying to find a boat I can do some snorkeling from. 👍 Life is very temporarily great, except the prize cunt Isak. When I get home im gonna write a book and quit my job. Can't be that hard considering some of the shit novels I've read recently.

He's not Eritrean, he's Swedish. Let's not descend in to implicit racism here.

We can tut. Loudly.
