Is dog insurance/food/vet bills cheaper than a daily Costa?

I'm surprised that someone like Humphrey's gets away with being as balanced as he does. The way the rest of them just stick to the same line it's as if Sky/BT/BBC are all enforcing some sort of part line. Or maybe it's just that all the ex pro's are thick as fuck whereas you have a chance of getting some sense from someone who doesn't arogantly think that because he played professional football he knows so much more than the supporters.

To be fair to Jenas, he spent almost his entire career contentedly not fulfilling his potential

It’s fucking incredible pundits will still just say he’s doing a good job lazily, clearly not even knowing our current form or where we are in the league. The way Jenas was fucking clearly fuming when Jake Humphries challenged him on his lazy bullshit spoke volumes “but they’ll still be in the PL if they finish 17th” “is that what Newcastle fans should be happy with? Just finishing 17th” “you’d have been happy with that as a Norwich fan” so throws out a lazy dig about Norwich but also this ridiculous assumption that just because you’re not currently competing at the top of the league you should just be buzzing with 17th. They’d sharp catch on if every one that followed one of the 14 teams these wankers think are just making up the numbers simply packed in watching and their pay cheque started to get a lot lighter.

We just have to wait for Craig coming back and to post it again next year

I think that's something that bothers me way more than it should. These people are paid good money to have an expert opinion on football matters. It's so, so easy to look at a club's form, their injuries and given we're 25 games into the season it's really not a stretch that you will, in your role, have watched Newcastle United a few times. Be objective, if the fans are up in arms about the manager don't dart to the stereotypes, see why. There's a bizarre disconnect between the football we've played and the manager. They've blamed the players; their effort, their confidence, their quality, etc. They've also criticised the pressing, the movement, the position of the players on the pitch. Surely it's the manager's job to motivate the players. Those players aren't world beaters, but they're better than the football we've been playing. And there's obvious evidence to that. The pressing, movement and position are entirely the job of the manager to implement. All this is compounded by Bruce's managerial record. His teams never have a definite identity, they are busy but lack cohesion. The only reason Bruce isn't being criticised explicitly is because he's liked by the pundits and because the pundits aren't very good at their jobs.

Aye, it's just the fans being hysterical.

In the showers like?

Yes but there are a few positives for Brucey to take from those stats.

Corbyn had a chance to directly oppose brexit & campaign for remain but he didn’t want to so he didn’t. He was MIA during the referendum & to pretend otherwise is a fanciful reimagining. Hard to blame Starmer with the record breaking levels of shit he’s been left with. Politics is about concession & Starmer is a Fabian no?

And so began the Great Toontastic Plagiarism Schism- a once (fairly) united board became split in to the Howmans vs The Paddockers. Friendships, families and eventually the board itself would be torn asunder over the Great Debate- who posted the pub meme first? (The fact that pubs didn’t open until December 2022 was lost in the intransigent posturing from both sides). *read it in Morgan Freeman’s voice, it sounds better.

Not the best choice of words for this thread

They never truly challenge a former pro as they want to be besties with the pro's. A professional presenter with experience could easily make a tit out of a pundit especially if they're relatively new.

What?

Bought, cheers.

I can’t see this government getting it wrong

It's all relatively sensible but aiming for June the 21st as "normality" day is a long way from the second dose endpoint for a hell of a lot of people. I'm still expecting some kind of screwing over generally regarding second doses though.

Jesus wept.

The Perfect Puppy by Gwen Bailey is good for reference if you’ve never had one before.

I seriously doubt he ever was one of us. be interested to know prior to fucking off to gillingham when he last stood in sjp as a supporter because I'd be willing to bet he hasn't since. I mean, I know it probably wasn't the most prudent and tactful decision lee clark ever made to wear the sad mackem bastard t-shirt at wembley but at least as a newcastle supporter it was understandable. contrast that to bruce, I have never, ever, not once heard an nufc supporter refer to the mancs as 'united' no true nufc supporter could possibly have celebrated gyan's fluked equaliser in the manner bruce did. no newcastle supporter would think there was anything remotely funny about potentially using 'who let the dogs out' as an act of revenge for the 5-1, for fucks sake, that was slight against women and nowt to do with football. the man isn't one of us and probably never has been. he is however a repulsive fat cunt.

As Important as Wilson is to the side it's arguably just as important to get both Dubravka and Fernandez back into the defence. I don't know for sure if it will stop us shipping so many goals, but it certainly can't do any harm. Darlow as well as he's done in general is always prone to doing something like letting one in at his near post like last night. I'm also not convinced he's much of an organiser. Fernandez by stats is probably our best defender when he's in the team. He leads with clearences, headers etc, and both he and Dubravka seems to be the most vocal when it comes to organising the back line, which could be why we've been so bad in defence. We won't score many without Wilson obviously, so tightening up at the back is crucial. At the moment we need to score at least two to get any sort of result, which of course isn't happening.

Sounds like the real thing. I prescribe a few cans.

Talking like a twat and wearing a tweed scarf?

As if being OK is something to aim for and get excited about. Hadn’t been near relegation in years when Ashley took over, seems like yearly occurrence now.

Everton win at Anfield for the first time in twenty odd years on Saturday. On Sunday.....
