The Mighty Hog

I'm sure the tab shop is still there and the pet food shop. They're moving mmm glug onto granger street now, I think they were stifled by the markets opening times and wanted to open on Sundays.

Thats what caught my attention, clever name. I think they are up to SBGS 5, they're making one with MMM Glugg from the Granger market that has chipotle chilli's in there. Granger market is a canny place to just have a wander about now, so different from when I was a kid. Criminally under promoted.

I've dabbled with craft stuff, enjoy an IPA but have found myself drifting towards stouts and porters. Flash House do a line called Shy Bairns Get Stout and I've really enjoyed the coffee one.

Roy Dotrice http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0234541/ Also the did a pretty decent job with the Game of Thrones audiobooks, once the accents settled down.

The bit about deferring payments is a big bit of news though.

Well, this is a savaging. https://twitter.com/daily_politics/status/918083291344973824

Unhand me you brute, I have dementia!

Pig and Whistle or Yell. Can't remember which but they were spot on either way!

Simon Smith is currently Head GK Coach. He was here during Gullit and SBR's time here. He left not long after SBR was sacked and then came back a few years ago.

I knew someone would get it though. Thought it would be HF or Meenzer. I was trying to crowbar song titles instead but couldn't make it work.

I believe it started as the Manitoba cup and will be the Delphi Cup soon.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/07/26/newcastle-agree-deal-sign-borussia-dortmund-midfielder-mikel/ Apparently we've agreed a deal to sign him from Dortmund, just need to agree personal terms.

I don't think it helped that his Mrs took the kids back to Argentina. If rumours are to be believed then that was a situation of his own making.

Cheers, it's made things so much easier having Trakt back.

Patriotism. The cure to all of our problems. Apparently.

The first place I saw it was on a Evening Standard journo's twitter. Anytime after that it was Spurs fans peddling it until local journo's started countering it. Other ones were that the bulk of the fee was made up of add on clauses that would never be met if he was shite and peddled after a season or two. Some also think Levy never makes a bad deal on transfers.

What an inherently moral guy.

BBC had some matches last time. I don't think we were on loads but I'm sure we were on a couple of times at least.

Shields Gazette seems sure that Anita and Gouffran won't be getting new contracts. Benitez must be confident about who he can get through the doors if he's letting his utility man go.

I've been playing cm 01/02 with an updated database. Each new one comes out about a month after the transfer window closes, you can still only have three non-eu players in your match day squad and only five subs on the bench but it's still enjoyable.

Should be interesting to see who gets peddled.

Aye, Lascelle had his groin surgery on Thursday or Friday, Hanley has been out a couple of weeks now and Clark has a knock so isn't being risked.
