Can't wait to hear more about Bruce's hometown club and spirit and what a great job he's done and his points total being better than Rafa's and how the football is so much better as well.

I think you're underestimating the will to defeat Trump. I don't think the "horseshoe" thing is happening this time, even if it did in 2016, which is still a little dubious. There's no hardcore left-winger who is going to sit this one out. Personally I would prefer someone further left of center, and I detest Bloomberg (NYC teacher, how could I not?) but I would easily vote for him if it were a choice between him and Trump. I'd vote for the Devil himself if he had a D next to his name and I think there are millions who feel the same way.

I think it's more likely it started with "N" and ended with "ee fucker." If we'd wanted to show ambition we could've gone out and got Bowen, at least he knows where the net is. Talk of Giroud or 35m for some striker from Lille (who according to .com isn't even a striker) that nobody's ever heard of was just that, talk. More accurately, bullshit. Joelinton is only still in the side because we've got no other strikers. If he gets injured we'll be playing Ritchie or Atsu up front. No self-respecting football manager could tolerate this situation, but this is Ashley's master plan in action. As always, put a shit stooge in charge who'll not complain when he gets jerked around, get some lucky points, guesstimate we'll scrape another 10-11 by the end of the season, no danger of relegation, no need to spend. Same as it ever was. Until of course he inevitably gets it wrong and we go down again. Yawn.

Give your head a sheikh. Anyway, while you mullah it over, I'll have the salat.

I absolutely do see where you're coming from. What I object to is the fact that they're using this to whitewash their image, which is horrible and should rightly remain so, because they are some of the lowest, filthiest cunts on earth. If they take us over, and we become a global powerhouse (or even just a successful, ambitious PL club) I'll not cry any tears or say it doesn't count because it's bought by Saudi oil money. Everyone in football now is a turbo-cunt. Moshiri at Everton, the dildo twins at West Ham, Abramovitch, Kroenke, the Glazers, the Chinese, etc etc. It's one scumbag after another. I just don't want to be owned by this particular set of cunts. The idea of them using the ownership of our club to try to cultivate an international image and status which they obviously intend to be part of their continuation strategy as we transition to a post-oil world sickens me.

If it happens it'll have nowt to do with any of us and you shouldn't feel anything over it. Whether we want them, or Ashley, or anyone else, NUFC will always belong to us.

Fuck the fucking Saudis. Literal medieval tyrants, giving an entire religion of 1bn+ people a bad name. 100 years ago their country was a dusty shithole named Nejd where the last scraps of a corrupt dynasty ruled over the emptiness of the Rub al-Khali. 200 before that they were getting their shit kicked in by my ancestors because they tried to put on airs. Now they spread their cancerous ideology across the Middle East and call themselves the guardians of Islam while they do coke off hookers' arses in Monaco and dismember Muslims before dissolving them in acid, not to mention raping their Filipina maid-slaves while withholding their exit visas and passports. Fuck the house of Saud, fuck their degenerate country, fuck their false piety, fuck their oil money. I want nothing to do with them. It is one of my great regrets that Mecca is situated within their borders because it means that one day I will have to enter their excuse for a country. I'd have another fifty years of Ashley before a year under Saudi ownership.

Dogshit. Then, below that, Joelinton.

So you're not taking the bet?

So League One isn't even his level. It's hard to believe how awful Joelinton was today. He was outclassed by a 40-year-old. When Fernandez sent it back across goal he was standing stock-still at the penalty spot, waiting for Godot. I almost feel bad for him. It's not his fault we (maybe) blew 40m on a complete donkey.

Fuck, man, some of the Christmas tits in this thread are nearly enough to convert me to Christianity. Hallelujah, happy birthday baby Jesus, and a merry one to all of you from across the ocean.

If you told someone "right, come up with a person who embodies the very worst of Britain", it would be that human shitstain, Godfrey Bloom. He is every shitty fucking stereotype of an old, shriveled, Empire-loving, England for the English racist provincial cunt. He isn't even a Tory. The Tories don't want him. The fucking UKIP don't want him. Nobody could stand to be around him for more than 10 seconds, because he'll spend half of it breathing Carling fumes in your face (leering down your shirt if you are a woman) and the other half going on about "the war."

Same thing goes on here. Trump hasn't delivered on probably 75% of the bullshit he promised (I'm not even counting the stuff he never had any intention of doing, like the Muslim registry or throwing Hillary in jail.) Bring this up to one of his cultists? "The Democrats have been obstructing, it's all their fault, blah blah blah horseshit." Same play, different country.

Corbyn has increased his standing in my eyes. Anyone who can get this thin-skinned prick's chins to quiver in pudding-like indignation can't be all bad. Mean old Jezza said nasty things about you, does baby need his bottle? Bless.

A stretched neck, with any luck.

Nobody's bothered about your life story you sister-fucking mutant. Off you pop back to League One. When you've a player some fucker has heard of, you can come back on here.

Well said. During the campaign we (I mean you, but you know what I mean) were told repeatedly that No Deal would never happen and there was going to be a cracking deal and anything else was pure Project Fear (utter scum phrase, by the way.) So anyone who voted Leave did so under that pretense. That doesn't even get into the myriad other lies that Leave told, but that is The Big One as far as I'm concerned. Trying to equate 2016 Leave with 2018-2019 literally drive the Union and the economy off a cliff no-deal insanity is just another right-wing rhetorical trick. It may fool the masses, but it hasn't and won't fool Parliament.

What majority does he plan to use to get that passed? 21 rebels are having the whip withdrawn tonight. The Tories didn't have a majority to start with and now they're underwater. The opposition could actually simply and bluntly refuse to let this government fall, take control of the Parliamentary agenda, and run the Commons without the Tory party.

Cha-lar Ser-yewnjew. Umlauts in the surname have a weird pronunciation that I can't really convey in text.

Hayden looks every inch a Championship player again, all the improvement he made under Rafa is gone with the wind. Not to single him out in particular, everyone has been rubbish today and the players look like they are barely aware of what a formation is, let alone which we're meant to be playing. It's OK though, our Geordie manager and crocked Geordie striker are all that us Geordies care about. EDIT: Oh do fuck off.

I'm sorry, I'm having trouble understanding you. Are you a Liverpool FC supporter? Liverpool are a pretty great side, aye. Class win yesterday, really showed they've lost none of their ruthlessness. Actually I watched a video analysis of Newcastle's chances of finishing above Liverpool. Here's the link if you're interested.

I don't think you'll be able to sing very well with Mike Ashley's cock down your throat. Might go a little more like "mmmmmm mmmm mmmm mm mm mmmmmm." Not quite as catchy.

Christ

That wouldn't make business sense, and as we all know Mike is a business genius and a football genius as well.

Another attempt from Fatso to rub it in our faces. "All right Keith, have a few bullshit rumours leaked that we're in talks with some progressive manager from the Continent. No, I don't have any fackin' idea who, just Google it, you caant. Drag it out long enough for them to start believing and then have Brucey unveiled. Priceless! I can't wait to see their norvern mankey faces!"
