I think if we sell him, we'll buy someone to replace him. My biggest concern for the next couple of transfer windows is Tino fucking off to Man City.

I don't understand why the price would have dropped 10m euros from the summer price.

There's tickets available for tonight right now if anyone wants to snaffle one.

Was watching Shearer talk about this earlier and he was saying they would all likely be granted leave to stay for that game. I think the first game isn't til the 20th or 21st of something.

That's top level behind the scenes work from Ross "Kofi Annan" Wilson, I assume btw. To reach this agreement with DR Congo.

Quite right too. A man's got to have rules.

Micky Jnr African Football Journalist makes it 3, and he's my golden source for African Football.

Hope is saying the same thing now too.

I think we'll fucking batter these personally. Let the shite patter commence!

Just tested Meenzer's snipboard.io and it's a couple of extra clicks/taps to get it on here, but it's easy done.

Yeah it's ridiculous. We have to go to the Tyne Tunnel tip instead. Tbf it's much better cos you can book slots and the Brunswick one is an absolute shitshow with queues down the street every time you turn up, but to just remove the option altogether is absolute nonsense.

And good point, I get turned away from the Brunswick tip now, cos I've got a Wideopen address on my ID. Might change it to North Gosforth next time and see if that works any better.

Wideopen seems to be fully rebranding as North Gosforth, and that's ridiculous enough, so to do the same for Seaton Burn is wild. Next stop Dudley and Burradon.

It does kind of make sense to stick with the player we actually own, and not prioritise the loanee that will cost us over £20m to sign in the summer. Also none of us know what these lads look like in training. It might well be that the GK coaches are telling Howe that Pope is his number one.

A double ballot entry today. A chance to get TWO you have been unsuccessful emails on Wednesday.

Half their first team fucking off to AFCON will sort that. Also, the fact that they're running incredibly hot atm.

I was out in the garage getting the Christmas decorations in when he scored and I haven't gone looking for a replay.

I was listening to something yesterday talking about their relative shotstopping. I think they were looking at something like goals conceded vs post shot xG, and basically out of the 44 keepers that have played a certain number of games in the PL, over the last X number of games, (can't remember the exact number), Pope was 9th and Ramsdale was 40th. So he would appear to be objectively better at shot stopping, of the two of them. I still think he needed a break though.

Honestly, that's the one game I'd be wary bringing him in for. Wild challenges flying in etc, I'd be worried about some fucking carthorse like Ballard targeting him.

Above is from today's press conference btw.

Wissa surely can't be far off getting named in a squad. Maybe v Burnley?

The same ego at work that made him think he was entitled to go on strike at his old club. Fuck the bloke.

£195 for a beef wellington. I wouldn't even pay that for a pair of beef curtains.
