At least the best thread on the forum has turned into another pile of politics wank

"Ah love young Nathan, he's a canny kid, the type yid tell to gan for some scran, give him the correct money and if it was more he'd say fuck all and just pay the difference in case you'd accused him of keeping it himself and avoiding a potential dance with the former foot soldier of le toon armee in the bogs of Thomson house. Anyways, Helen Dalby the vixen editor asked me if ah wanted to go down the football manager computer game route and ah gave her the look ah gave to Watford's top boys in burger king from the coach I was in when ah drove past once. Ah said me Atari days were in the past and me loyal punters wouldn't be so loyal if ah went ahl techno nerd on them, laughed, flicked open Alan Oliver's old little black book, had the phone in me hand and before Hell's Bells could hide her admiring look at iz ah had Malcolm Allen's take on the takeover, a shit hot retro story and ah telt her to just give the nerdy PC stuff to the bairn. Fucking football manager! Lol! Laters."

Right lads, can we get back to geopolitics please.

I'd love to meet the bloke who found out that him stopping supporting Newcastle would end human rights atrocities in Saudi...... and he just couldn't bring himself to do it. "But they're MY TEAM! What else am I gonna do on Saturday?!" Would make a great sitcom. Ultimate Superfan.

Nice drawings mate. Shame it took you the best part of a week to draw what every other fucker has spent the last week saying.

Hopefully it's just to tell him he's a cunt.

It's clear that they're going to sack him at half time, in the middle of the stadium, leaving him stranded on 999.5 games. Then Jones rouses a stunning comeback win in the dying minutes and whips a Jonas Gutierrez mask out of his sock donning it for a victory lap.

Agreed, I get Gemmill and others point but leaving this rot in charge is a misstep. He’s not a competent manager that is doing an ok job and the new owners simply want their own man, he’s a massive negative and one that has done nothing but insult the fan base and club for 2.5 years. Keeping him just delays any type of rebuild or fresh feeling, he’s just a lingering stale fart that’s killing the excitement post Ashley. There would be no negative to having Jones take over in the interim, honestly he’d probably do a better job anyway, but the upside would be it would keep the wave of positivity going. Instead we’re going to have 5-6 days of the media cranking out absolute drivel about Bruce, his 1,000th game, how the fans are wrong and he’s clearly a good manager as look the new owners are giving him a chance. Suddenly that excited atmosphere and celebratory mood would become a little bit flatter for Sunday’s game. If he’s in the dug out it’ll be harder for it to feel like things have changed, we’ve got rid of the cancer but this fucking symptom is still lingering and causing the shits.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2021/oct/12/david-squires-on-newcastle-united-saudi-takeover Squires. Was always going to be about us, and was always going to be grim. I do note with interest that the guardian has opted not to put comments up for this one, which is the first time one of his cartoons has been locked as far as I can recall. But there we are anyway. I also noticed some knacker who owns Grimsby town was telling us off yesterday too. He lived in Newcastle for about 10 mins, 30 years ago, and can't understand why more people aren't opposed to this. It's not the Newcastle he remembers, etc etc. He's a professor at Oxford or something, so he's obviously very well connected with reality. The Newcastle he remembers, I would argue, has been pummelled to within an inch of its life by southern voted Tory governments over the course of that 30 years - and any spirit of hope, optimism and human solidarity that did exist was then further trampled by an odious pillock who I have no doubt will end up buying honours for himself at some point to become 'Lord Ashley'. Moreover, and this is the really important bit which tbf Squires alludes to as well - this would have happened at ANY club in the football league pyramid. Any of them. Even motherfucking Grimsby. This is the society we have chosen to exist within. Fucking choke on it Southern England. And maybe stop voting for it.

16th in the first season, 8th in the second btw. Wilson inexplicably playing as a lone striker for the richest club on the planet. Favre out!

Tell me more about the settings changes you made, you fucking goon.

I love a good atrocity-off.

I stand by my original thought that supporting our team and wanting it to do well whether it's owned by the Saudi's, Newcastle Council or Ant & Dec, is not something we should be apologising for. But I do think it's important to use this to learn more and I do find it distasteful when I see other supporters wearing Arab get up or being draped in Saudi flags. I've no doubt City supporters did the same when they were bought by the UAE but that's not an excuse. But then again I'm not going to have a go at those who do it as all it really shows is their lack of education in that (and probably many other) areas. If we don't have any direction from our leaders on this then what hope does your average man in the street have. I'd just much rather those in press who against this whole deal actually tried to educate people on the whole than make snide comments against a bunch of supporters who want nothing more than to enjoy going to the match.

Each to their own.

Time to fire up Codemasters' "Advanced Van Simulator" on my ZX Spectrum emulator to settle the matter with an article in the local press.

it was worth fighting the popups just to get the chronicle's epsorts and gaming correspondent's illuminating take on what happened when he ran a football manager simulation with favre as a manager

so what does everyone make of how the trans debate is destroying academia? just kidding

That’s fighting talk. 😡

I left alone, my mind was blank I needed time to think To get the memories of that game from my mind What did I see? Can I believe? That Joelinton that night was real and not just fantasy? Just what I saw in my old dreams Were they reflections of Jonjo Shelvey staring back at me? 'Cause in my dreams it's always there The cabbage face that twists my mind and brings me to despair Night was black, was no use holding back 'Cause I just had to see, was Hendrick watching me? In defence, dark figures move and twist Was all this for real or just some kind of Hell? Nine Nine Nine, the number of the Bruce A session in the Black Diamond turns the fucker puce

Oh

MF’ed your post

That was back when Blaydon was working at the Chronicle doing some sort of apprenticeship, living in Newcastle whilst simultaneously living in Australia and being a pathological liar

Nope. He’s up in front of HR again.

If anyone can make Mandy leak, it’s the TMGRSJOTY 2014.

Shut up, Fish

he must think he's won the lottery mind, getting paid to write up how he pissed around on champ man all day

Playing tonight at the Cluny

Sugar Daddy (foreground)

Whereas…

Shane’s at Rotherham

What makes them look more incompetent now? Sacking Bruck and having no one lined up or in place for a few weeks, or sticking with a manager they are clearly going to replace and allowing him to take us closer to relegation. Because theres zero chance in an upturn in results while that fat sack of shit is running the team.

That's because you're reading it as vagina 😉

This means nothing to me

He had to wait for the caretaker to arrive and show him which one his office was.

I’ve had a perma-chub since it was announced.

I’d imagine he’ll have a celebratory drink, beyond that it’s none of our business. kinky bitch.

Fuck's sake

You heard it here first

Ooh...an expert speaks..tell us more

What a cunt.
