How about "I'm Still Standing"?
OK, maybe not.
Went down like Bobby Davro in a set of BBC stocks

Aye, I'm sure he had re-occurring health issues back in the Metro coverage days.

You'd have thought having an actual Sky Sports presenter as a non-executive director would make them think twice about these weird magedia theories. But here we are.

We have a CEO

He is 67, so it might just be a coincidence it's happened when we have new owners.

It feels like saying "zero self awareness" just isn't enough anymore. The clip of their social media content creators alone exposes all that.

We need to get into the habit of making any kind of money off the academy products that aren’t going to make the grade. It’s a good money spinner if your academy can produce players of a half-decent standard regularly. £5 million isn’t much in the grand scheme of things but it’s pure profit off a player you’ve brought through the system. It’s something Ashworth got rolling at Brighton of all places so I imagine that’ll be the plan here too.Pretty much this. In an ideal world you'd have youngsters having cameo's at the end of matches/early cup rounds, let the media talking head wanks talk about their potential then flog them on. In the 90's MOTD was pretty much a Liverpool promoting venture with Hanson and Lawro bigging up every up and comer, ditto with Sky and Man Utd. They could flog on most fringe and youth players no bother. Granted that's a huge over simplification and can't come into fruition over a year but with FFP reigning us in every part of the set-up has to earn money.

Fucking hell, I'm sat here on day three of brutal food poisoning and I'm still less likely to be shitting my pants than CT is over relegation mathematics!

A group of us watched it in a bar in Portugal, what an ending to the match. Top tier shithouse win.

That BBC Newcastle one was something. Had a look and it's almost like the actual topic of discussion just delays them getting to the actual point of the messageboard, calling each other mags or general in-fighting.

Yep, it's in his Wikipedia entry. Thought people might put it together.

Seen Elbow a couple of times since but the first time was my favourite. Mew were class too, they had a thing where you could download the audio of their set if you paid £1.99 via text. Hoping I still have it on a hard drive somewhere.

What a day. Great performance, Ryan Fraser was brilliant, Howe has transformed Joelinton and Schar. Targett is really solid, would much rather have him than Digne. That was as comfortable as it comes, can’t remember the last time I was so relaxed with a Newcastle performance.
Also met Souness on the train (he was heading to the rugby) who told me he thought Owen was shite and never wanted to sign him. Wanted Anelka apparently.
After he was sacked I remember him coming out with that he didn't want Owen and Luque but Anelka and Boa Morte. So he's kept his story straight all these years.

First match was under Ossie the second was the first under Keegan, polar opposite atmospheres.

Off topic question.
I want to see 'We are Geordies' film/documentary.
Anyone know where can I find it?
It's available to rent in the UK on Amazon and Youtube, should be the same in Spain too, I'd imagine:

Reading the Twitter threads it seemed like Man Utd won't budge from the £10 million loan fee for him and we offered about £6 million.

This works for some paywalled articles, not The Athletic, but I've had no issue with Telegraph sports stuff.
