Reminds me of the old - what do you call a Spanish footballer with no legs? Gracias

Geordies discovered Africa hundreds of years ago and THAT is why Zebras are black and white stripes. FTM

Geordies bought a time machine so the best looking one could gan back to have it off with the future Pele’s mam. Santos (and Brazil) are pure GEORDIE Howay the Time Machine Lads

This is where I reveal that my forum nickname is actually me playing the long game to prove a special relationship between NUFC and FSV Mainz 05 dating back to the early 2000s. Fetch me a bedsheet, it's banner time!

"the links"

I wonder if we're actually after him as the professionals now in charge of recruitment don't now feel the need to leak it for a 'feel good factor'? Anyway, I've never been as zen as fuck about new signings as these seem to know what they're doing.

Do you do t-shirts? By any chance

Late 19th Century, Newcastle East End, played in red and white, makes you think, ................... Atletico Bilbao founded by mags.

I think I've said before they spouted the link as 100% true for years on there then someone related how they went to the club museum and asked about Sunderland and the guide told them he'd never heard of them and it was complete shite. They were like kids being told there's no Santa.

Second prize - 2 dinners with me

Nice response this. Lejeune: "It is a friendly game but one which is brimming in emotion, full of pleasure and a host of other feelings for me as it will be great to catch up with some former team-mates with whom we spent some great times together. We shared a lot of laughs and lots of memories together. Also, catching up with the physio and other members of staff at the club. For me, it is really important to have this chance to see them again and to spend a little time with them. Unfortunately, I never really had a proper chance to say goodbye to them there so I sincerely hope I’ll get a chance to do it this week. I also really want to thank everyone for all of the great support I received for so many years, whether this was after each game or even when I was suffering from injury. I received a lot of messages and I really do want to be able to thank everyone. When I decided to leave on a loan to Spain, initially, it was a choice I made because it was something I really needed to do. I had just gone through a second major injury and I hadn’t particularly appreciated the treatment I received during the Christmas period, playing some games when I shouldn’t have. There were a host of things which I didn’t like but, in the end, that is how it is. In a sense, it was tough to leave the club permanently a year later because I felt really great at this club and I loved the city, as did my family. We had our circle of friends there and this made it tough, for sure. It was all the more difficult for me personally because I knew that I was more than capable of being a big part of the team but, unfortunately, with the manager in place at the time, it was clear that I was not in his plans and we didn’t share the same vision of the game. That is how things are - each manager has his own idea of how to play and some players may see things differently - so I respected the situation entirely. But I am someone who needs to play. I can’t simply go for months on end without playing. It is something I need to feel happy. I need to be out there on the pitch and to feel important. It was tough. Very, very tough. But I didn’t give up, I worked hard and had the support of all my team-mates and particularly my wife, Laury, who was there every day to help me. Coming back from my second injury, having to play so many games in such a short period of time, for me, it was something that was incredibly hard. After Boxing Day, the games come thick and fast. Coming back just seven months after a cruciate ligament and having to play four games in just 11 days, I honestly think there are very few players who could really manage that. But I did my best and unfortunately in the final match [against Leicester], I didn’t play well at all and we lost the game because of me. The most important thing was that I didn’t get injured, but I feel that I wasn’t given the very best chance and everyone knew that, the manager knew that and it is a shame, really, but that is how it is. That’s football. It was an absolutely unforgettable experience both regarding my career as a footballer and as a person. I learnt a lot and met some wonderful people during my time there. I always strove to give the very best of myself for the good of the squad and to be as effective as I could. It’s no secret that Newcastle are one of the greatest clubs in England and the fans were always second to none. I could never begin to thank them enough for the wonderful support they always gave to us and which they gave me personally. I have nothing but positives to say and only have wonderful memories about both the club and the city."

So Fists so called HGV lessons were actually aerial refuelling lessons. No-one else could have such a call sign

He looks fuckin rubbish tbh

I don't suppor that tbh. I think "one off" becomes more than once and it's effectively stealing in their eyes. 1% of 1 million is the government coming to your door and taking 10 grand. Far fairer that tax loopholes are closed, the ability to "negotiate a settlement with HMRC" if you are a multinational is stopped (e.g. vodafone etc) companies are charged a sales tax percentage on all sales in this country non dom only applies if you have a tax treaty and you are actually domiciled in at least that country and the less talked about "non resident for tax purposes" should be means tested by exit stamps on passports (or their technical equivalent, ooops we do that, right? border force?) and again have you not just being "non resident for tax purposes in 3 or 4 different countries and simply travelling around every 89th Day between them. Make corporation tax payable at the same rate for all corporations and not optional by offshoring or offsetting profits to an entity overseas that doesn't exist; whilst filing costs only in the parent company, to "break even". I could go on, but "one off" taxation of the rich is just encouraging us to pit against each other and leave the 1% alone. The 1% have BILLIONS and pay fuck all, 1 million quid as a business owner in London, isn't actually that much (I know, I know... but it pales in comparison to the likes of Mike Ashely etc)

Get this facebook shit off this website! Jesus Christ, Craig. Jesus Fucking Christ.

It's a plea for relevance, they think the special connections (myths) are a reflection of other clubs desperate to be associated with them, not them being desperate for the association.

Like every Ponzi scheme I suppose, there's money in the grift as long as you're not the one left carrying the can.

The only actual links he's knowledge of is the one in Whitley Bay.

I saw this being trailed earlier but had no idea it was going to be so shit. It’s like a D list celebrity knowing they’re circling the toilet of fame and going for one last minor cash grab See also: John Terry

Feyenoord Rotterdam first used the letters N, E, T, and A after a Geordie sailor introduced them to his Dutch friends in 1912. This imaginary event in the club’s history sparked a long, non-existent friendship between them and NUFC, and is reflected in the entirely coincidental similarities between versions of the club badge and NUFC’s. We spoke to club historian Paul Joannou who said ” I’ve called the police”.

Let’s get a campaign going to ensure they print hundreds of T-shirts only for no one to actually buy them.

Fuck's sake Florian, we only asked, 'how's it gannin, mate?' chill oot! (Is this a 'special bond'? Asking for deranged fanbase).

There’s nothing particularly wrong with getting your news from the BBC as long as you can apply some level of critical thinking but then again that goes for most news sources.

Precisely. I see shit lie this quote-tweeted onto my twitter feed (and I'm guilty of doing the same), when that's precisely what the aim of their schtick is. Clicks. Interactions. Engagements. Like that weird spotty tory kid who, when it snowed in December, made some facetious comment about 'global warming'. He knows exactly what he's doing and will be rubbing one out as his notifications go bananas. There's seemingly no recourse. I mean Alex Jones tried to wave his stuff off as entertainment, but was rightly financially butt-fucked by the bereaved parents of the Sandy Hook victims. I had hoped that that might have given other professional trolls pause, but nope. Genuinely, I get most of my news from here. You all act like a bullshit-filter (except for transfer rumours, I'm looking at you @wykikitoon), so I fret for people like my parents who get their updates from the BBC or, increasingly, facebook.

My next door neighbour and I are good friends, so we decided to share our water supply. We got a long well.

You can say it hasn’t got historic roots but this link up was started way back in 2022.

You're surely not suggesting I am rehashing old jokes

Their shitty campaign has had even less impact than that toucher Exile’s one

Of course it goes further back and is more important.

Resting Jimmy and giving the young spinner a whirl and Foakes in, good stuff. Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Ben Foakes, Rehan Ahmed, Ollie Robinson, Jack Leach, Mark Wood.

Always thought that was a bit of tragic story that’s been bizarrely triumphed as some sort brave adventurous sacrifice. Some kid went to a shit part of Alaska, ill prepared without an exit plan. Possibly got injured (photos suggest he may have injured his arm/shoulder), then he starved to death. The knackers went because of the mythologising of it.

That particular goal (and overall performance) in the final against Sweden in ‘58. The goal in itself is a bit underrated I think. But he was 17 years old. 17! Ffs! Absolutely mental. I think it’s against France maybe, earlier in the tournament, where he scored a very similar one.

Desperate Dan. Desperate Mackem.

@PaddockLad Some of these are ridiculous (either left or right foot or head, no bother)

One cat's eye for each member. Nice touch.

Despite knowing everything about what Trump and his insane ego are like, I can scarcely believe this latest grift. Digital trading cards ffs. He should say he loves mackems and FTM, and he'll get a few thousand dollars from Wearside.

Amazing prizes, like "dinner with me"

Just to clarify, it’s the person on the receiving end that gets the money
