If I ever invent a time machine I’m having the Luftwaffe visit that grade one listed bollocks

Wide of the mark, you say?

There’s a reason vaguely intelligent sports writers stick out like a sore thumb. You can count the ones that don’t come across thick as fuck on one hand.

although,

Yeah, I'd probably get over it after the third or fourth premier league title like. Given that Strawberry place has been sold I wouldn't mind if the Saudis built a new fuck off 100,000+ seater state of the art stadium. They can name it death to all infidels then if they like

At last a kindred spirit for CT

My Mrs has had a persistent sore throat and because of the industry she works in felt it necessary to get tested, she registered on a website and went and got the test done about 20 min drive from where we are (Sydney, Aus). She could have just rocked up and got it done too, without pre-booking. Video consult with a Dr, then they conducted the test. Two days later had the result (prognosis negative). They've since opened an additional drive-thru testing centre that's 10 minutes drive away. We've got fewer than 7,000 recorded cases and 95 deaths a bit under half the population (45%). I've been following this thread closely, the incompetence from your government is jaw-dropping and in many ways heart breaking. Many here feel like our government was slow to act and that they have made multiple mistakes along the way, but comparatively looking only at COVID-19 handling we've got it good.

See? It wasn’t just me.

So they’d finish 8th. I wonder if they’re still going to be ‘a scalp’, and ‘everyone’s cup final’ in League One season 3.

Someone “stokoeshopped” them

It’s absolutely incredible that he displayed the unique fighting spirit to be one of 97% or so who have survived.

Ayles is probably mates with Bruce. I can’t imagine that anyone would thick enough to want Bruce to stay, given the appalling football he produces and general level of incompetence. However its all moot because he’s an Ashley “bargain” and any new owners will want a fresh start with a top manager. You don’t buy a hugely expensive car and then entrust it to a pisshead with no licence and a track record of car crashes.

She's never trudged through the 80s. Next.

Leazes once replied to my mate with a massive tirade about Toontastic out of nowhere It went over about 8 tweets.

Tbf, I have to agree. It’s more a symptom of ‘them’ not being a big club.

Three seasons, have you forgotten 1987, marra? (I haven't).

And the fucker ended up not even living in Newcastle!

Let’s not forget that silly money allows for silly solutions- we can’t build any higher on the East Stand, but have a potential footprint on the other sides for expansion. So, we sink the pitch. Can’t build up, so build down. ( it’d take a bit of time, so we buy the mackems for small change, hoy a few thousand extra seats on for a season and play there- once we’re finished with it, we can raze it to the ground)

Dolly Potter. There was a poster on here who was really fucking weird a while back that adopted her name.

It’s problematic where the East Stand is because Leazes Terrace is a grade 1 listed building. But I don’t think there’s anything insurmountable at the Gallowgate /Strawberry Place end of the ground

I think people would have put up with Sports Direct@St James Park if it got us £50mil per season into the transfer budget

It's always a good question as to whether religious homophobes hate gays because their holy books say so or use their holy books to justify their innate bigotry. Either way there's conflicting "advice" so some kind of choice is needed which would suggest for most it's the innate bigotry option.

And their football team is called Fairydean

Just realised that by virtue of playing 1 game more than the rest of the league, even if League One promotion goes to playoffs via a ppg system, the mackems still wouldn’t get in

They’re seething about it if they’re honest. Good, let them simmer, the fucking troglodytes

You missed the part where sports journalism is about 75% complete fabrication / speculation coupled with fuck all else to write about at present

No mate, the context of the article is shite.

James Ayles from the Daily Mail has said that Newcastle fans are "increasingly in favour" of Steve Bruce staying on. The context of the article is that the players, knowing that Bruce will likely be given the rest of the season at least, will try to keep him in a job from their performances. So the context of the article seems to subsequently be implying that Newcastle fans want him to stay beyond the rest of this season. Have I missed something lads?

It almost looks like they’ve created yet another perfectly indisputable argument to prove they’re the classy, incredibly moralistic ones. They’ll never get to make that choice so can always pretend they have the moral highground. I’m perfectly happy for them to have it, I hope they get a warm sense of pride as they have Newcastle v Barcelona on the tv on a Wednesday night while they listen to Scunthorpe v Sunderland on the radio. This is a fan base that genuinely said they’d take Lee Cattermole and Jack Colback over Cabaye and Tiote. They absolutely cannot talk rationally when NUFC is involved in the topic.

Philistine, Bale, Pogba....we can sign who we want with these lads money.

There was another plan to turn the pitch through 90 degrees, making the East and West Stands the goal ends. Not ideal, but it minimised the effect of the restrictions on the ground capacity.

Should have a look for the one where Smoggeordie posted pictures of the lass who dumped him after she’d been to university for a fortnight

Aye hope it turns out ok mate

He's not the Messiah he's a very naughty boy.

All the best, MF.

How are you feeling today ? I hope cough has gone and you are ok.

No, 3 would go up to the premier league, and those 3 would be replaced by the top 3 in league one etc. The premier league would have 23 teams for a season and 6 would get relegated the following year https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/leaked-whatsapp-message-full-transcript-explosive-call-could-shape-leeds-uniteds-season-2653326

I genuinely can’t understand why anyone, anywhere, anytime is interested in Merson’s opinion about anything. He’s a complete fucking moron, even by the standards of ex-professional footballers

I did and still do have a big problem with Joshua fighting in Saudi Arabia. He’s already a very wealthy man who had offers from all over the world to host that fight but he went to a country with no boxing tradition to fight in front of a few half arsed men in the desert for the cash. And completely ignored the human rights issues in that country. I think that’s a different situation though to our takeover. We don’t have hundreds of buyers fighting over us and more importantly we don’t have a say in the matter. NUFC is still the same club, this isn’t the NFL and they’re not moving SJP brick by brick to Riyadh. And I don’t recall any Sky Sports or BT refusing to broadcast the fight on moral grounds. I don’t remember any journalists refusing to go to Saudi Arabia to cover the fight. But it seems that some journalists want to hold us to a higher moral standard than anyone else.

Your Mag mask slipped a bit there Marra. Imagine, soon we’ll know how sunderland feel, down in Division Three being “everyone’s cup final”. Shat on any seats lately?
