😂I hadn't realised that you were being held down Clockwork Orange style being forced to read it, so I apologise. The facts are that yes a lot of it is shite, but there are local football journalists in various countries who get wind of a move a day or two in advance of people like Ornstein, Romano, Sky Sports etc. Mouth of the Tyne is an ITK, but it's when they say they have an exclusive with no source that you can dismiss it out of hand. The two above stories could easily be incorrect, but they do have at least vaguely reputable sources that are being quoted. When people unironically post people like Sean Casey you might have a point, at least without the authoritarian ban hammer nonsense.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that AH calling for bans is probably not meant to be taken seriously

[PaddockLad 14878]

This seems legit

You possibly know the kind of stuff that AH posts better than I would. It's difficult to tell who's being serious and not out here on the internet these days.

Burnsie, the man who claimed to be abducted by aliens is not ITK with regards to his own reality, never mind the inner workings of NUFC. A club that has locked down more secrets than North Korea

Who the fuck is Burnsie? The guy who runs Mouth of the Tyne? If that's who you mean my point was that he was quoting other journalists, who may or may not be reputable, as opposed to just making shit up himself in those tweets on the previous page..

Fair enough, but as a ressurance, no one on here is going to call for bans except in the most extreme circumstances - and even then there's a good deal of hand wringing about it. We prefer to hound people off the site rather than ban them, from what I've seen  We've let mackems run amok without doing a damn thing other than setting essembee on them (they probably would have preferred to have been banned). We've let wums of all stripes sign up and have a go. The only person I can recall us banning in any recent history was Quiff and there was good reason behind it, unfortunately.

 

We're not a ban-happy community at all.

 

As for AH, I don't think I've seen him make a fully serious post in the entire time I've been on this forum

Bunsie broke twitter.

 

We will hopefully see a lot less stupid rumours now.

Can't believe Musk is attacking free speech like this. Restricting what people can see ffs. A card carrying member of the tofu eating wokerati, clearly.

[Gemmill 35397]

So does that mean if I keep refreshing my feed I'll only be fed 600 tweets a day?

 

Musk is a fucking moron mind.

I've rejoined, been on a couple of days, now getting nothing on my feed on the app, uninstalled, reinstalled, turned phone on and off keep getting stupid messages, finally got on via the web and I've deactivated the account. What a monumental cunt this musk is.

You talking about me and Diego?

I used to think our new owners may have taken a measured approach to transfers even if FFP wasn't a factor. But looking at what the Saudi clubs are now doing we would absolutely be bidding 200M for Mbappe right now

wtf? is eating tofu somehow evil to you? please expain 

[RobElliott 1027]

For some reason, today, I reinstalled the last Football Manager game I played, which was FM11 and oh my, we had a pretty shocking team back then. The first 11 was decent but absolutely no depth, Shefki Kuqi, Nile Ranger, Mike Williamson,  Sol Campbell, Leon Best... 

 

It was a nice reminder about how far we have come in the last 18 months and why I have full faith in Eddie, Dan and Mandy this window!

What a fucking idiot. 

 

Also, I'm pretty sure the last sentence of @Rayvin's post is sarcasm.
