Well I stand corrected. I think they brought that in last year anyway but it must’ve changed. I must I admit though it was based purely on an article from last season (I think). I couldn’t honestly say I know it’s true because I took very little interest in European competitions last season after taking the huff when Man City turned up half cut for the cup final and let their bitter rivals have the run of Wembley because it was only their second consecutive double at stake

More games so for tv I think. Like the Thursday games. I read somewhere that from last season, ie with the revamped CL, each match week is devoted to one UEFA competition so they’re spread over more days / times in that given week. Instead of Tuesday/Wednesday CL and Thursday for Europa League it’s CL games only this week and Europa League last week

You’d have to ask why the club Rummenigge used to play for and still works for wanted to sign Woltemade if he’s that bad. It’s either sour grapes or he’s been reading CT’s posts on here

There’s inane questions, then there’s that

Tom Watson always comes across as a proper gent like. Was a shame that year when he almost won the Open again when he was nearly 60 (he was 59 ) it would’ve been one of the greatest achievements in the sport. Maybe the greatest

Yes please, mate.

Thanks very much, mate. Much appreciated

Does anyone know any decent, reliable bathroom fitters in the North Tyneside / Newcastle area.? Been fleeced by one shyster who took a deposit and ran and messed about by a few otters who quite then never got back to you. TIA

Has there been any further updates on the Livramento injury?

Catches win matches

I think Thiaw / Botman was always the plan once they got established. Burn should be rotated with Botman because one has had injury problems and the other is getting on a bit. I don’t want to go back to Burn at LB. Teams learnt how to target him and he’s a fair bit older too.

We can’t control what bids are made or what amounts those bids are from other clubs. If we went back and said he’s available then Liverpool and the player would have held all the cards. There were no other bidders so I don’t see how we’d have gotten as much as we did. Then the rat and his agent, knowing our position probably insist on the loyalty bonus too. I think it’s as fair an application of hindsight to say it might have benefited us in the short term but might’ve seen us £15-25m worse off from a PSR perspective. Wilson certainly isn’t offering some magic solution that would’ve made everything better from a NUFC perspective.

Summed up a sizeable minority of their fans over the weekend

Tbh giving them a bit of hope only to have it extinguished at the death was better anyway

I think you meant Jay Slater. At least I hope you did

This was really good actually. Very poignant but also amazing to see the dedication and work that team put in to find the relatives of those unknown soldiers whose remains they keep unearthing.

Fuck off, Liverpool.

Them being shite will never cease to be amusing

Remember the advertising hoardings round the pitch in Billy the Fish btw? ‘Sleep In A Bed’, ‘Smoke Tabs’ and the like?

They’re about as admired as she is for her journalism. Or looks
