Gemmill currently neck and neck with CT in the bandwagon steeplechase

At least Mike always dressed up for those occasions.

i managed to get a ticket for the tottenham game a few weeks ago. ended up parking near the haymarket and subsequently landed in the percy arms instead of what was me usual haunt, the bodega. first time in the percy for getting on 35 years and it was and still is a glorious, glorious shithole. loved every minute of the prematch build up in there and left for the match having some sympathy for those who've always maintained they've kept going for the day out etc, something i never thought id concede, although i doubt there's been too many pre-matches like that one in the last 14 years! that said im proud ive maintained my stance too and that ive refrained from financing ashley's vindictive destruction of something i love since not renewing my ticket at the end of the 08/09 season. walked up to the ground with some trepidation as i went right past the door of the labour club and was fully expecting @Ugly Mackems to be there abusing the returnees as gutless cunts, but thankfully managed to avoid that.... phew! going in to the ground was fucking emotional, i was honestly fighting a few tears, not helped by the seeing the poignant banner in the gallowgate. i'd almost resigned meself to maybe never setting foot in to sjp again. the match other than the first 10 minutes was shite, the second half in particular was right up there amongst the worst i've ever seen since the bill mcgarry years and seeing bruce shuffling about with his hands in his pockets in the technical area was truly hideous. anyway.... life's moved on a bit for me in the 13 years ive been absent. i left cheltenham at 8am and got back just before midnight. i'm not sure i'm prepared to commit to giving up 19 weekends a year again, the 530 mile round trip, the time it takes or for that matter the expense. anybody fancy going halfies on a season ticket? assuming of course its possible to get one!

What in the name of fuck is that parcel of shite?

If you enjoy the transfer speculation, that's one thing, but otherwise I would ignore all of it. 95% of it is gonna be made up. Howe apparently pulled the local journalists to one side last night and asked them to lay off with the speculation because of the effect it can have on the current playing staff. Which is an intelligent, if probably fruitless, move. Especially given that Ryder promptly reported it in the Chronicle like the fucking dope that he is.

I get the feeling he’s using us as a stepping stone to get the James Bond gig.

I mean, given their record it could be worse.

Hitzfeld being interviewed for DoF role according to this. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/nov/10/hitzfeld-to-Newcastle

The Ponteland trip was to an Italian for a three course happy hour special iirc

Apparently Howe is taking them all for a team dinner tonight somewhere, must be a far cry from the Ashley days when he took Rafa and the team to an indian in ponteland I bet the players have ptsd going out for a meal after that, the fat fuck would have been slavering as his starter came out last.. 'lets have a look at what you've got rafa, some proper nosh there amigo can I have a try?'.. 'miggy what have you got over there lad? dont worry about cutting me bit off just slide that plate up my way son.'

I love that he laid out his demands at the start of the video. Wants the same level of recognition from the club as Wraith's dopey mate who got lost in Brighton.

It's a weird fucking thing to see this complete transformation of Gemmill tbh

Four blokes who you could reasonably believe were all called Grenville. "owroight Grenville." "ow do Grenville." "morning Grenville." "Be seein yer Grenville."

I've come to the conclusion that the success to a happy life is being able to decompartmentalise yourself from things*. It's why some scientists are also happy clappy Christians. I actually did enjoy taking my kids to the match despite Ashley, relegation battles and CL promotions really are more exciting than being midtable. I never let Ashley bother me and won't with KSA either. * I also acknowledge I am shit at this.

I'm just clutching at potential problems because that's our lot in life.

I'll believe it when Adam Pearson's got a selfie with him outside the ground.

Could you imagine him, Ashley and charnley rocking up to an all you can eat, the owner would be shitting himself at the sight of those 3 twats waddling through the door

Raiding Kim Jong Un’s wardrobe FTW

Brucey- “ Ahhh, well lads, we’re going out for a team meal tonight- Lau’s Buffet King! All you can eat Rinky-dinks… go easy on the lagers but, training is cancelled the morrow.”

Here man Ryder used to drink cans on the back of the away bus. He’s done the hard yards sparking lads out and being nails. Apparently.

I like his batman dressing grown. Surprised that comes in a size bigger than age 9-10.

It’s so BTEC it’s off the scale *Puts down spliff and turns head away from Takeshis Castle* ”lads I’ve got an idea for wa film project!!”

Pearson's got a reaction video up to the Staveley interview already. The kid is prolific.

Not going to back him until he storms the Fulwell.

Maybe she deliberately leaked to scupper Emery. Lasses man.

Imagine being so shameless

One of them will be a Brian. He's the wit of the group.

fuck that, i've just started following loads of transfer spec twitter accounts - bring it the fuck on

Aye, it’s great. Actually being able to take an interest in transfer gossip too. For the first time in what seems like forever

never forgive, never forget. 2 certainties in the time I have left breathing, never vote tory, never give a penny to ashley.

It’s fucking mad that the text on the wall was very likely put there during Ashley’s ownership, the cheeky cunt . The novelty of being able to talk about Ashley’s ownership in past tense isn’t wearing off at all neither. Thank fuck we’ve saw the back of that prick.

This board never forgets

Ryder has clearly lubed himself up for the big exclusive with Demba with a few firewaters

You really do like your Graemes, don’t you?

🎵 Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear And he shows them pearly white Just a jackknife has old Macheath, babe And he keeps it out of sight You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves, though, wears old Macheath, babe So there's never, never a trace of red Now at Wembley, ooh, sunny afternoon, uh-huh Lies a body just oozin' life Eek, and someone's sneakin' 'round the corner Could that someone be Mackem the Knife? 🎶

Nah that's me dad. He's never expressed a preference for Farage, although who knows. Some of my mam's patter is designed to wind me up. Turned up at hers on Sunday and she had GB News on and was telling me it was "the highlight of her week". Farage, not her only son turning up. I told her he's a prick and turned it off.

I was talking to AH mate, already assumed you were a snitch.

Those jeans man. "Do they come in a square cut?" And the fucking shoes. I wouldn't take the fucking bins out in that get-up.

Naah, not naproxen, think you must be thinking of tramadol or something. Naproxen is an NSAID usually reserved for girls' periods @Monkeys Fist.

Strong a white Persian cat whilst guiding a laser over 007s balls?

quantity not quality

Howe has your wife, did you say?

Pardew had an air of arrogance. Howe does have confidence, but a grounded confidence if that makes sense. Action speak louder than words. His actions on the first day spoke volumes. Arriving early, leaving late. Bleep test, the lot. Amazing.

"And in at number eight, Sole2Sole with 'Needles and pins'......"

That Lee Ryder video man The look on his face is hilarious, like he’s won a competition.
