Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The whole thing is just perfection. Their star player wanting off as soon as possible, the chase for Will Grigg, after the fact Ross even tells him on the phone he's not worth anything over a million, Crystal Methven threatening jobs unless they get 40k at home to Barnsley, the two Wembley defeats, Charlton lifting the trophy RIGHT in front of the Don Even the most ardent of Newcastle fans couldn't have wrote the script. Fucking embarrassment of a club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4811 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Im not sure if they'd purposely portrayed it this way but it looks The Don is a decent bloke who just happens to be way out of his depth. Meths coloured chinos. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to the makers they’ve done a great job at showing just how much it means to the fans and the local community so when see the disappointment on their little faces it’s that much funnier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene_Clark 12 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Tommy the taxi driver seems a good bloke; as a remainer taxi driver he may well be unique Patrick the chef is from Biarritz; i used to play against him in the Over 40s league - had a canny dig on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26173 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Apparently not as all staff are still being paid in full so I can only assume it’s so they can claim £2,500 a month on each of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugly Mackems 133 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It was great seeing Graham Laidler (wtdog - internet troll, bully, arsehole) getting in to Donald at the end of the final episode asking if they'll ever be good again.

Magic! whickham lad though I think he moved to blaydon. majority of his mates were (and presumably still are) newcastle supporters, used to pop up at the bodega for a pint occasionally if our and their games didn't clash. never seen him for years till the end of that episode. always seemed canny enough to me, not so to you it would seem!

Which works out at £15k per week for a squad of 25. That’s taking the absolute piss expecting the taxpayer to pick that up. Methven spends more than that on trousers ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26173 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It’s the entire squad, academy and back room staff. It’ll be much more than £15k pw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5883 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) My point is, the wages of the first team squad are far in excess of £15-20k pw. So asking the government/taxpayers to fund a fraction of the players wages is taking the piss. The club receives millions in parachute payments this season iirc. This decision helps no-one but The Don and his bank balance Edited April 7, 2020 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 8868 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It sounds like an idea of Father Methven to outcunt Ashley. “They are all over the news again. What can we do to get one over them? Drink! Lads! Feck the Mags!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
