Anyone get past the bit in bold without sniggering?

I lasted about 3 minutes before the signposted boob jokes and canned laughter ground me down. It's fucking shit.
-
No return date on Physioroom, just says it's an ankle injury.

Nah, he was accepted into the NUFC Hall of Fame last night. He's just clearly emotional about the honour. Some on twitter still calling him worse than shite because... well I guess because he's a cult hero and that divides opinions? People seem to think you can't like a player unless he's Messi.
-
I meant he allowed Benitez to sign players for the now, rather than for the resale. Last Summer and this. You're right though, imagine a) what Benitez could have done with McClaren's side, or 2) what Benitez could have done with that money.
-
He changed his approach fro McClaren somewhat? And for Benitez.

Captain, Not a Racist, Doesn't shag his teammates wife, Leader, Legend...

Aye, but should he take that gamble, he knows Benitez will tell him to get fucked, which will surely play on Ashley's mind?
-
That US Sitcom with Stifler's Mom in it?
-
If we don't spend in January, I don't think Benitez will stay. And should he go, I can't see many managers capable of getting this group of players to safety. I think we'll be taken over and spend, or Ashley will stay and have to spend.
-
I'm hoping my early concerns about his ability were premature, he's certainly got the right kind of character we need at the club. He's still prone to the odd silly decision and taking up the wrong position, but hopefully those wrinkles will be ironed out through experience and under Benitez' tutelage. Hearing him (and Hayden) speak, it makes me think that there's a decent amount of young lads coming through who are far more professional than the great wash of entitled pricks that preceded them.
-
Shola... I know he wasn't great, I know he's more a cult hero than anything else, but by Christ he's a proud Newcastle fan, an ambassador for the club and a blimmin lovely bloke. Rather have had 1 of him than 10 Michael Owens. (The 8th goal there, against Birmingham is quintessential Ameobi btw)

Our first team isn't that far behind a great swathe of the Premier League teams, but light years behind those who're challenging. You could make an argument for a few of our players getting into West Brom's side, or Southampton, or West Ham, and a few of theirs getting in ours. But none of our players would get on the bench for the top clubs. Benitez is the difference maker, and despite the team's flaws, and his own, I think we're likely to stay up.

Aye, Hernandez, Arnautovic and Zabaleta looked shrewd signings; A reliable goal scorer, a mercurial talent and an experienced winning defender. Compared to Stoke's surplus striker, some kid with hardly any starts and a French centre back. Because we've been so lucky with those... oh oh and an ex Sunderland defender too.

No great surprise, but I bet they didn't cast the net as far as they could. Surely there'd be impressive coaches in the lower leagues, or someone from a foreign league? Managers who'd take a gamble if only for the chance of managing in the Premier League?
-
I reckon losing 4-1 at home to Liverpool was more responsible mind And having the worst defence in the league. And only Palace having won fewer games. After having spent £40m on players like Hernandez, Hart, Zabaleta and Arnautovic...

Does... does she think the witches do the hunting?

Make sure you fucking don't. That's strike one, sunshine. -
Aye, if players like Murphy, Diame and Gamez are still occasionally getting on the pitch and he's not, I can't see him coming back into the fold. Unless Joselu gets crocked and Gayle continues his barren run.

It's like a tripadvisor for answers. Any bellend can pretend like they're an authority. Similar to here tbf -
Yeah, Mitro's value must have dropped significantly, despite his performances on the international stage. I'd be surprised if anyone paid £10m for him now. Which is a shame, because he's still better than Chris fucking Wood.
