Well other than the result I had a lovely night. Wife decided to drive so nicely tucked into a Stowell street car park. Quick pop into greggs for half time bait supplies. Then realised we were in the platinum club (Birthday treat) so had to buy a clock in the club shop to obtain a carrier bag to hide the greggs bag. We were the 1st people to arrive and walked into the lovely carpeted bar with proper posh tables and chairs. There was a huge long bar with around 40/50 white dressed young ladies all eager to serve. Our lass made her way to a table and time stood still as I made my way to the bar with 50 pairs of eyes admiring my new birthday clobber. TBH, I wasn’t sure whether I felt like a terrorist who had arrived in heaven or one of those posh blokes at a posh brothel you see on the films. A lovely young lady firmly clasped my stiff cold glass and gently squeezed a pint of caffreys in. I was no good. The food menu was totally different to the leazes as everything had the word premium in front. So, 2 servings of Premiun chicken bites and fries it was. Lovely padded seats outside right on the walkway for my numerous weak bladder / vaping trips. Gutted after 9 minutes like everyone else but hey ho, we’ll see what Saturday brings. Main thing is I love going to the games again. Also thought the crowd was pretty good last night. Finally what a class act Tim Krull is. Came out for Second half and was getting lots of love off the gallowgate and interacting with them. When he finished warming up, he kicked the ball into the crowd and started walking away. Some young fan then through the ball back on the pitch Krull through his arms in the air laughing, went back to get the ball and wellied it even further into Strawberry corner. This time it stayed. Think it’s the first time I’ve had Caffreys, (all 4 of them). Didn’t feel drunk last night but fucking hanging this morning.

Of course not. You can't see the playground from there.

He spent 25 quid all to get a carrier bag to hide his Greggs. #CTeconomics

Adam Pearson’s Ladies’ Night should be interesting seeing as he’s never spoken to one.

How did HMHM manage to hack CT's account?

Of course he did. #waltermitty #newballsplease #heronfoods #trampsnest

They’re shit, bacon slides right off

That a fucking lava lamp?

2 servings of premium chicken bites

The name's Tree, Christmas Tree, double 0 32" waist. *bag falls over, pasty falls out* Love the subterfuge to flaut the rules and save a penny.

I am going to say it one more time, no other team in the history of the league has been in our league and financial position combined. Bad league position but with money to burn. In January we will buy the players to get us out of trouble. And fuck off with the "no professional worth his salt bla blah blah". It's horse shit, people work for money, we will get better players than we have now and better than those around us have.

Maybe think of a better name for your library, lads.

Well I’ve literally got a DEGREE in law. So ignore the naysayers, CT. It’s legally yours and there’s nothing anyone (including J69) can do about it. And if you want to be doubly sure then get it up on eBay now. No laptop, no crime.

i tell you what, he'll smash it in the championship.

BUJ... outstanding shift last night. too embarrassed to go through some of me older post on this thread now. hat doffed to those who've maintained there may be a player in there.

I think we've solved this mystery so there's that at least.

U ok, hun?

If that performance doesn’t give you some hope then fuck off tbh

Watford lost tonight and they've got City at the weekend. Beat Burnley and we could be 3 points from safety. Leicester game after that isn't a write off either as they've been shite recently. We are running out of chances to close the gap though

Can I also point out that Wilson was a far better captain than TOT has ever been. Between Ferd's organising of the defence and Wilson's lead by example, Lacelles should be nowhere near the starting 11 again.

The lying twat

Covid travel logistics are hard

That was fanny holocaust after the FUCKING MESS I LEFT.

Odd that it’s named after Gemmill’s nickname at school

The way Willock and Hayden have been playing recently he's probably worth a shot now.

Possession is 9/10ths of the law and that's a FACT. Tell them to go fuck themselves and you'll see them in court. This will lead to absolutely no further repercussions and you'll be home and dry and browsing dodgy porn on a 4k screen in absolutely no time.

Fish Zen AS FUCK

LET'S BE AVIN YOU!

Every daughter’s dream Christmas present

The lovely young lady behind the bar slipped a roofie in your Caffreys- she’s a known mycophile.

If nowt else everyone seems to care again. Much better than poisonous apathy of the preceding years

A Newcastle United clock as well.

I'm not pissing the bed just yet. Six of our seven defeats have been against top eight sides. The damage has been done in not nicking a win in some of the draws we've had against the other sides. We haven't played terribly under Howe and have been let down by individual errors. The longer the manager has the better we're going to get. Safety isn't a certainty but if we recruit wisely in January I can see us being mid-table towards the end of the season.

If we fail to beat Burnley I think the writing is on the wall. I don't buy the 'It knocks us back a year' shite like. I think it knocks us back a couple of years at least. But in the grand scheme of things its meh. How many would have taken relegation if it meant the end of Ashley and the owners we have now?

No Percy arms for me tonight. I thought he was poor tonight, was definitely not alone. Strange as most grafted their nuts off but the lack of quality stands out,.....yet...... We'd beat these tonight but for Clarke having a brain fart. No doubt having watched them live that they're up for the fight, also no doubt there's a few of them who are woefully out of their depth. ASM is all over the place, willock was painful to watch, Fraser was subbed after the red card but should be nowhere near the team, he's fucking atrocious, Lewis looks weak but gets no support whatsoever, least said about Clark the better, Schar is an accident waiting to happen. Yet..... I think they grafted their arses off....... against Norwich. Not looking good. We'd have beat them tonight 11 v 11 but we're really are that shit. ASM by the way, hit that low to the keepers right, it misses and I forgive you, put it in the Gallowgate then fuck off. The only, and I mean ONLY chance is a superb transfer window. We're fucked.

I really don't understand this repeated thing about players 'not wanting to sign on for a relegation battle'. They'll have release clauses if we get relegated so they can piss off afterwards if things go tits up. So no harm no foul for them. And, they must consider the longer term or at the very least the remainder of their 2.5-4.5 years of their contracts after the second half of this season. Are we really giving players so little credit that we think they're unable to see beyond the first six months of their time here? The roadmap could be laid out to new signings as: five year contract: signing on for relegation battle to prove themselves and win the adoration of the supporter base, become first team player for mid-table side next season. Then, subsequently first team player in a team challenging for Europe, first team player for side playing in Europe, first team player for a team challenging for silverware. There are medium and long-term goals to consider beyond the first six months of their contract. It seems to me getting in the door now is an opportunity more than it's some sort of poisoned scenario for them in having to suffer the indignation of being asked to avoid relegation from the division. Not every footballer is as thick as the plonkers we have at the club now. Some, I imagine, must be capable of seeing a bigger picture. The actual worry would be paying massive overs for players now in a window that is notorious for being a minefield. Lucky, though, that we're owned by the richest conglomerate involved in football. Money is the issue for clubs in this window; it is not an issue for our owners. So, it's happy days as far as I can tell.

Norwich are the worst team in the keague and will finish bottom imo. Any half decent side would beat them with 9 men. But when Clark was sent off we looked out numbered constantly, we had almost no outlet and no way of scoring in normal play. Okay, we were a man down, but is that a reason to give them two thirds possession when we're at home and imo the most and best chances of winning? If we don't massively improve we are fucked. Howe has to win on Saturday, then things will look better maybe.

My "Limited Edition" Retro Castore shirt is due to arrive today to rub salt in the wound. Thanks Ciaran you fuckwit.

Another home game vs Burnley. Beat them and it could a 3 point gap. Although after Howe catching COVID, Darlow chucking one in his own net and Clark getting a red card after 9minutes, fuck knows how we will engineer more dropped points in this one. We are due a season ending injury to Wilson or ASM I reckon

I am not that fuzzed about getting relegated. It’s Ashley’s legacy. It has been on the cards for a couple of years, even under Rafa. If the takeover had been concluded ahead of a season there might have been a much better head start for the new owners but that wasn’t to be. Having to rebuild slowly in a lower league might also help to let the fake outrage settle about having rich but awkward owners. They certainly can’t blame us for making things too easy for ourselves.

They're revolting alright.

They won their 14th v us at Pride Park...think we were the only side they beat that season...Allardyce set us up for a draw, Kenny Miller scored a belter for them... we drew with them at home too...

QYP

About the second bit, aye?

I assume it's autocorrect for "Nothing says", but I like to think it's his brain slowly imploding at the prospect of having to spend time with his children when the schools close
