so, stopped practically on the beach at alnmouth last night in the van. lush but by god did it hammer down all night. lovely dog walk this morning along to boulmer and back. set off at lunchtime homeward bound and got midway between durham and darlington on the a1 and the battery light comes on. crawls under the van and quickly works out that the alternator belt tensioner pulley's collapsed. £30 part I could fit meself in half an hour. but no, everwhere's shut. towed off the a1 to scotch corner services. aa bloke hasn't got the part and reckons the tow truck won't arrive to pick us up and take us to cheltenham till 7pm so we're expecting to see the new year in probably in the back of a recovery vehicle on the m5 just south of birmingham! on the plus side, there's a mackem in the next bay where dead vehicles live at scotch corner services with a quite admittedly nice vw transporter but with a fucked driveshaft. just been telling me everything's set up sundlund for them to take off and they've got more supporters than man utd. the bloke's inadvertently cheered me up no end! a happy and prosperous new year to you all!

Southampton off too.

He knew he was dealing with serial sexual deviants throughout his tabloid career because it was his job to know. The squalid fuckin turd turned a blind eye when he and his editors could use the revolting deeds carried out by these people as leverage. What a fuckin cunt.

Gotta say, 2022 has been good so far! Happy new year all.

How would we tell the difference to normal?

I’d pay good money to be on a different continent whilst CT blew smoke up Denise Squelch’s prolapsed hoop.

Wait till CT sees this after all the Denise Welch stuff!

45th out of 92 is another way of putting it.SMB.27-3-1970.

I honestly don’t think Piers Morgan is on the Nonce list. He’s absolutely an unrepentant fame-whore, and a whopping great cunt alongside that, but I don’t think he’s ever been “important” enough to be granted access to the inner circle of utter cuntery. Man’s a fucking weasel, but a minor one.

It's their tournament, they have the right to stage it when it is most convenient for African teams. It's held when it is so as to avoid the wet season that affects much of sub-Saharan Africa. I'm not going to start banging the racism drum like Ian Wright, but it's not a hard conclusion to reach when you hear the owners of ludicrously rich, privileged-beyond-belief Western European teams bitching that the darkies couldn't hold their bongo-bongo tournament in summer like normal people do. Fuck that and fuck them. It's as much a privilege to play for Nigeria or Gabon as it is for England, France, or Italy and it should be given the same level of respect. If I were Dennis I would've told Watford to fucking do one, I know they pay his wages, but there's some things more important than money. That said I'm glad he's out because the worthless set of donkeys that play under my father's flag and call themselves the Egyptian national team play Nigeria on matchday 1, and we can use all the help we can get.

Wright thinks it’s racism. It’s nothing of the sort, it’s the inconvenience of putting an international tournament right in the middle of the domestic seasons every two years. However, clubs are well aware of the fact when signing African players so they can’t act too surprised when this happens.

Happy new year everybody! Hope you have a splendid 2022!

2021, don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out. Welcome 2022, do your best.

Gueye is PSG Gueye????? Ou Mamma. This man is a rock in the middle.

There is still hope for @The Fish

Even if Barca weren’t in financial trouble that deal would be utter madness for a player who has offered as little as he has over the last few years. There won’t be a club in the world willing to offer him that.

Sorry but I’m not for a minute believing that any Yorkshireman was throwing a £2 coin no matter how inviting the target.

Is that a criticism of the MSM?!?!

The love child of Stephen Fry and Charlie Sheen.

Although the idea of them being multi-million pound assets in the first place is also a bit mental, so...

Haha aye. He's an absolute fucking chopper.

I know he’s got a few bob on himself but, even allowing for that, it’s incredible that he thinks blocking people on Twitter is a threat people should take heed of

Official attendance 48,707. 20,000 locked out.

Have you imbibed more than the usual Yorkshire allowance?

the rac's took him away now! I gave him a can of hobgoblin ruby for his journey he made me chuckle that much!

I was, genuinely, about to offer you a sofa for the night at my gaff, until I saw that you’re halfway down the country. At least you’ve got the mackem to keep you entertained- ask him his thoughts on Berb Murray and Peytar Reid… just to remind him of how things could’ve been. Happy New Year wherever you spend it mate.

CT's lips vibrating and rippling with the blowing, Denise's nostrils flaring with the thrill of it like the ghost of red rum. (Read this out again but this time in your shed you filthy beast, you).

Me all January

I would pay good money to blow smoke up Alex Scott’s arse tbf. Giggedy Giggedy Goo.

Aye. Even if it's as cynical as they're all claiming it is - and I suspect it is - they can't stack up a 19 club conspiracy to try and get us relegated, agree not to sell us players, and then bitch on about us using whatever is at our disposal to avoid that outcome. Welcome to the Premier League motherfuckers, there is no moral high ground.

Well, if we’re going to buy players to improve the team, why don’t Southampton? It’s not just a special window invented for us

I do enjoy fans getting riled up and telling us basically exactly what we are doing as if any Newcastle fan gives a flying fuck. We definitely should just really hamper our own chances by not using the option made available to us. We should also do this to maintain the fairness right? Playing sides like Southampton who voted in a cartel to block our club legitimately getting new sponsors. Funny how when the rules help us everyone wants to cry despite their clubs willingly manipulating and bending rules to try and hurt our club. I hope we buy a whole new squad and batter these wankers 5-0.

The fume is wonderful

Southampton aren't happy apparently. Imagine how they're gonna feel when Trippier curls a free kick into the top corner from 25 yards out in the rescheduled fixture.

And the clubs moaning can get tae fuck

I think you could do with a break from looking at figures dude

Nice https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/a-new-year-message/ The turn of the year is, of course, a time when we all reflect on the past and look forward to the future. Despite the current challenges, we see a bright and, ultimately, successful future for Newcastle United. The Club has amazing fans. It has serious, long-term investors. And the Club has a workforce committed to getting the best for both the football club and the City of Newcastle. Obviously, we face some stern challenges ahead of us – not least the issues surrounding the continuing pandemic. But we will meet these challenges with fierce determination and a strong resolve to improve every aspect of the Club, while playing a full role in the community we serve. As we look back at the last twelve months, we were of course delighted to finally complete the purchase of the Club on 7 October. This reflected the patience of each investor and the belief that we would get the deal done. It also reflects the commitment of Mike Ashley and his team – shown over a lengthy period – to ensure that not only did the deal go through, but that ownership of the Club passed to people who could take the Club forward responsibly. We thank Mike and his team for that commitment as, without it, the deal would not have been possible. We also thank each member of our staff, who have embraced the changes that have already been made and shown a tremendous work ethic in very demanding circumstances. We all know that we have a great deal to do, but we will strive to fulfil this great Club’s promise. As ever, the massively passionate support of our fans will be crucial as we look to improve our results on the pitch. We have had a very tough first half of the season, but you have been right behind the team and we want to take this opportunity to let you know how very much we appreciate it. Our most recent match at St. James’ Park showed the power that can be generated when the players and supporters unite and feed off each other, and it was wonderful to experience that special atmosphere. Let’s take that positivity into 2022 as we aim to progress on and off the pitch. We have very important fixtures ahead of us and a January transfer window that we have worked tirelessly to prepare for, so let’s face our challenges head on and look forward to the second half of the season with optimism. Wishing everyone a healthy and Happy New Year. Amanda & Mehrdad

Must be my T-levels. I’m putting it down to a largely plant-based diet, if only to wind up quiff

That'll be Ant

Aye, I always wonder what people are on about when they’re blowing smoke up her arse. Alex Scott used to get the same and she was basically just saying the same things as the blokes do.

Fair play, they sit atop the third tier of English football tonight.

Aaron Ramsdale: “After the first [goal], there was bottles, lighters - next thing you know, money started coming! I collect £2s so I took that! I’m picking them up & put them by my towel. There was about £17 I pulled off the pitch, I said to Kalvin Phillips, your fans must be loaded!”

News is leaking that more cases of covid for us Southampton game will be cancelled........😉 It'll make a perfect day for them if Man Utd thump Burnley tonight😆

Signed that cunt on FM22 too. I've been hacked.

Me dad was on the sponsor’s table at the match with him once and he said he was a lovely, down to earth bloke
