I feel like I’ve been digitally kneecapped by the bastard love child of Gloria Hunniford and Martin McGuinness

FYP

You mean Alex Neil? The man that PADDOCK LAD thinks is better than our own Eddie Howe?

Remember those 2-3 weeks post takeover he remained where the pundits were all adamant that he deserved a chance, and then when they decided it was obvious the owners would replace him they began to say it was a hugely disrespectful to have Bruce do his job while the owners figured things out . It simply wasn’t fair to Bruce as it was embarrassing him having to do what he was paid for (or pretend he was doing what he was paid for) when everyone knew it was temporary. The fucking mental gymnastics the pundits leap through to support this shambles of a bloke. It’s always also worth noting he was an even bigger disgrace post takeover iirc, they trained (somehow) less than before the takeover and he just completely gave up on the games he managed. He’s a fucking disgrace tbh, I’m still shocked West Brom hired him.

I'm assuming this never happened, then?

*CT driving along in his taxi* 'Oh, that looks like a real life hack'. What an absolute tramp.

If Burnley fancy Alex Neil, even with their dodgy owners, I think there’s a good chance he’d go. Players will leave this summer but their current squad plus the parachute payments make them a much better proposition. Plus it would be fucking priceless in terms of the reaction

If he doesn’t understand it you’d think he’d at least be able to get one of his drinking buddies to take him through the intricacies of FFP

Oooof!

I’ve piled the beef on lately, so I rang Weightwatchers and said “ Look, it’s an emergency, can you send someone round?” They said, ” Aye, we’ve got loads of them”

Perception is reality. Newcastle bought their way out of relegation. Liverpool's players do it out of their love for the game and the local area so they're paid a fraction of what other players are. They're also all local, as is their manager John Croft who changed his name only so he won't be discriminated against in European competitions. Their run to second is a miracle story.

Of all the cunts to have managed us, he's the biggest one in my lifetime. I don't have a good word to say about the bloke. I hear him talk and hate football.

Working alongside the Knight put him in his shell, it's hard to get out of it when your apprenticeship involved being sent for tartan paint or a Long Stand.

Aye he deserves it for being a nerd.

Did not know Roeder was double jointed mind.

Steve Bruce: "Eddie’s had a lot more money to spend than I ever did, but he’s brought in some good players and improved the team. I’m very happy to acknowledge that, because Newcastle deserve the success. “I worked there when everyone was talking about a potential takeover. The club needed new owners to come in to re-energise it, and I always knew that, if it came during my watch, I probably wouldn’t be hanging around for too long. “I just hope that, a few years down the line, some of those supporters who never wanted me will look back at my time in charge and say ‘under the circumstances, Brucey didn’t do too bad a job after all’.” Steve Bruce reacts to Eddie Howe's Newcastle United turnaround | Shields Gazette Fuck off you cabbage-faced cunt.

Lads, here is an awesome life back - bound to be a huge hit with your kids and neighbours.

Then add some leather covers

Life hacks for sweaty backs

Republica are looking rough these days

I collected 2 pallets and then thought better of it.

do enjoy cleaning up dog semen after he’s through humping the “new” sofa

The evil Saudi one is my favourite.

He could well be a MLF given that he's going to be the head of the ownership but not a majority owner. Clearlake Capital are going to own 60% of the club. I can't see why the hell a private equity firm would want to invest in a business as consistently loss making as Chelsea, it's not as if PL football clubs are ripe for year on year profit. The only thing I see is that they're gambling on the club being worth twice as much in five years time then selling up. Either way it's something I'd be worried about as a Chelsea fan. As a Newcastle fan, not so much.

If Labour are serious about electoral reform they'll introduce a law where voters at polling stations are offered either a ballot or a sheet of bubble wrap to pop. The turnout figures for CT's type would collapse.

So that’s where you all hang out

You don’t have to tell us why you don’t get involved in political discourse on here any more. Everyone knows it’s because you don’t have any ammo. MF is right, you can’t just check out of politics as if you’ve got nothing to do with the mess you’ve helped create and maintain any credibility on the subject. I believe you when you say you don’t want to get into it though. ‘Nothing to do with me, mate’ is about as true blue Tory as it gets tbh

Man meets minimum expectations, falls slightly short of desired result awarded for outstanding achievement.

Ahh fuck. I've been had. Honestly find it difficult to tell nowadays.

£20m is a bit more like it, if true.

Ready to go (drinking)

Two points, they were literally begging the Saudis to invest in the country in general. Secondly, it doesn’t appear to have made any difference. I don’t know if the Guardian are arguing otherwise on the second bit, as I’m not clicking on the link

Agree in all your comment. Just one correction. Marcelo is an ex player. Lodi really competes against Alex Telles and Alex Sandro. Marcelo and Filipe Luis are past. Marcelo last Brazil cap was in 2018 In my opinion, Lodi has reached the national team because he signed for a 'big' team. Those things happen a lot. He was a player who had never played with the U17, U20 or U23. And suddenly, he signed the Atleti, and they summoned him with the absolute. He has benefited a bit from the fact that Alex Telles was not a starter in Brazil and that the coach had some problem with Alex Sandro. I really like Caio Henrique, who is a midfielder turned left back. He was owned by Atleti (always loaned to Brazilian teams) but he sold it just the year he signed Lodi. Curiosities, Caio was the starting left back for Brazil U23. And instead Lodi nothing... Atleti preferred Lodi over Caio. Brazil named them both for the U23 team, to play the pre-Olympic (where Caio Henrique was going to be the starter), but since it was a competition not under FIFA regulations, Atlético refused to allow Lodi to leave with Brazil U23. This made the player angry, because it happened twice. So Brazil, to win the battle against Atlético, decided to call up Lodi with the senior team (and since they were already FIFA matches, Atlético could not refuse).

Wonder if George Caulkin will do a big swear on the podcast like he does when he shoehorns it into his articles. He really is the bad boy of NUFC journalism

Sixteen sodium atoms walked in to a bar, and the barman said ” Hello Batman”.

and the ball gag

Nothing to do with the relative coverage of the Labour and the Tories? That trumps ‘charisma’ all day long. Johnson was only ever charismatic because of his being indulged / his portrayal imo. Paint him for what he is and it’s a completely different perception

turns out you literally couldn’t do a better spoof

Just listening to the Pod on the Tyne end of season special with 'Alan from work' There was just a section with Steve Bruce. Taylor and Caulkin knowing Shearer is Bruce's bum chum don't have lick his arse out weeks gone by they've basically called him a fucking cabbage.

Harry Maguire AGAIN picked. Does he have something on Southgate? Maybe a video of the boring cunt enjoying himself.

It’s poses/photos like the one above that make me want to rid him of a few teeth in that fake plastic (porcelin) smile. You would never catch wor Eddie being such a cunterhead.
