THE ANSWER WAS NO ANYWAY!

I think what we're learning is that nobody at the GNR organisers gives a fuck what the medals and the t shirts look like, and nobody walking past Fenwicks window gave a fuck either. Which further punctures the mackem glee.

Are you asking me out?

Ah I can't make that match. I've just gone through the motions of queuing etc (7 minute wait) to make sure I know the score for when I do want to apply though. In a feat of professionalism, the main headline told me I was queuing for Newcastle United v Nottingham Forest, but the smaller text told me I was queueing for the "Mages" member ballot against Bradford. Good that they're looking after the RPG community, I suppose.

I've become a member, mainly cos I felt like tbd needed to see that even really cool people can miss out at the ballot. Too late for the Barcelona one but I look forward to being 50,000th in the queue for tickets tomorrow morning.

Well they were selling the players properties when they knew the selling price was double the actual valuation, so I'd say that's both fraud and a scam, aye. I know you were painting it as just the players being thick in the other thread, but I disagree. Not Wlwhen their manager is endorsing these blokes and allowing them into the training ground.

www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002d2kp Not sure why that isn't working as a link but it's an iPlayer do about a bunch of players from the 90s who got scammed by this pair who took a load of money off them for dodgy investments. It was worse than just losing the money though, they've all got tax bills hanging over them that would bankrupt them. Danny Murphy is on it - he reckons he lost £4m to £5m.

Did someone say that that absolute plank Keyth is aware of how much he's mocked on here?

Aye I wonder if he's got any money left. I watched that documentary about the V11 scam btw. It's a wonder one of them lads hasn't killed those pair of cunts that nicked all their money. No surprise that Howard Wilkinson was profiting from it all either. I'm sure he didn't know that they were scammers, but as the Chairman of the LMA or whatever, you'd think he would have had them checked out before allowing them to turn up at club training grounds.

I didn't want to detract from the majesty of Bewth. My mate used to be married to a lass from Derham with a proper mackem accent and if we used to go out for scran, it never got old him asking her if we should "see if we cannit gerra bewth". No great surprise they're now divorced.

Who played Polly in Fawlty Towers, marra? Connie Bewth.

they'll be watching Thewlis tonight to see if they can see how crushed she is. Mental that the woman they hate most in the world has a surname that is already written in mackem. You can't do anything with it to mackem it up.

If that is a mackem doing the medals, what a fucking stunning victory that is.

But I thought Amanda Baby only loved US. 😭

The level of stupidity amongst our social media fanbase is ludicrous. If you were that way inclined you could lose entire days of your life arguing with these people, couldn't you Craig?

Was wondering who that was. Well played.

Germany needs Eddie to turn this lad into another Isak.

Bit ponderous there.

Starting again tonight.

Almost certainly from London.

This is why you need adaptive cruise control. You could have been in the foetal position in the footwell and your car would have continued in an orderly fashion to your destination.

With the best will in the world, there isn't a SINGLE INCH of it that passes through their shithole, so I don't know why they're watching it if they're hoping for a mention.
