Yeah. What ewerk says. The lack of professionalism around something as straightforward as this (ie even just getting back to you as a courtesy) doesn’t bode well for what they’d be like to work for imo.

I’ve got both on mine Tbf in this spell at Benton Park View (as it’s now known) it’s nothing like it was nearly 30 years ago, when I last worked there. Completely different department and type of role now too. Back then it was ridiculous like. People used to just disappear for hours and getting just pissed enough so the boss didn’t have to get involved was commonplace of a lunchtime. It’s still an odd place like

heard that one before and also seen it applied to the Ministry

Similar experience for me. Only I stayed in, ended up watching Final Score and was convinced Ray Stubbs had become an anthropomorphic rhinoceros

Tbf they celebrated our league cup final loss like they’d won something, so I suppose they might as well do the same for one of their own Wembley defeats

Lots of water under the bridge and KK and Ashley were never going to see eye to eye. But the tactical astuteness of KK is quite underrated imo. Especially by the time his second spell at the club came around. People also forget in terms of his ‘naivety’ that NUFC was his first job in management. I know we get it on here but a lot of people just go off cliches. Re: his second spell here, in that first part season the Owen thing was more than just man-management. The media had made a big deal of Owen’s criticism of KK in the former’s autobiography* and KK making Owen captain was a great hit of psychology. But getting Owen to play deeper, in a sort of old fashioned inside right position, with Viduka as the target man and Martins terrifying defenders with his pace wide left was really effective. And no fucker was playing a proper 4-3-3 in the premier league then. Don’t give me Mourinho with his 4-5-1. *Tbf Owen wouldn’t even have read it, let alone written it. The little cunt

used to have a really nice Santos top. Made by Kappa and no sponsor as it was some anniversary that season iirc. I went for the number 6 for Nilton Santos. Because Pele was too obvious and I was a proper football hipster back then (it wasn’t because it was the only one they had left in stock, honest). I wish I still had it but that early 2000s tight fit that Kappa had would probably cut off the circulation to my head and arms these days. Didn’t they win the Copa Libertadores 3 years running with Pele? I think they stopped entering as it was more lucrative to tour Europe and play friendlies against sides Real Madrid and Benfica (and NUFC iirc). No wonder Pele was past his best before he made 30. He’d spent well over a decade playing almost non stop

I’d take it with a pinch of salt. The Times is nothing like the publication it once was and is more in line with Mail and Telegraph now

I wasn’t even a Greek god back in the day

Just seen this but I knew them all bar Liam O’Brien and Kevin Scott. There’s a few on there who look like they’ve imbibed a fair bit down the years but I’d never have gotten those two off that photo

Perns

And the tariff imposed means he’ll be 70 before he’s even eligible to apply for parole and there’s a decent chance he’ll never be released

Shitbag aka Griffin is a Parsons/Lakeland terrier cross. Spot on otherwise

Yeah. He works for NASA

Great news, mate.

Adrian Mole?

Should read ‘billionaire’ as that’s who most of the gullible seem to lionise

The two series of that are pure, fucking unadulterated brilliance imo

There’s a lad I went to school with whose mam and dad ran a newsagent’s. Let’s just say he was a popular lad

Dougle describing a completely factual, practically unarguable post as one of the biggest fallacies in football raised a chuckle on a bit of a shitty day
