It was my idea of hell tbh. And it fucking reeked of bother, as well as actually reeking. I just remembered I went once at about 12 noon with about 4 other other lads prior to a work Xmas dinner at the Swallow Hotel which you also accessed via the Newgate Street Shopping Centre. It looked even worse when it was empty. That would’ve been 1996-ish. Also just remembered this lad I went to school with telling me about how he decided to go and watch the cup final there when we got beat off Arsenal. He told me he wore dark combat pants as he’d concluded it would be too busy to go to the toilet so he would just piss himself instead. That just about sums the place up

Coventry of old? I can think of a much more recent example.

It's a Monday and I'm drinking like it's a Friday, Love you all lads, this place has made the whole thing all the more fucking amazing. Kudos gents.

Kid I was with was an excitable chap and was always at the front of idols when they were getting them oot for the lads. The lasses, with the help of the bouncers led him on stage, cuffed him to the bar, had a little dance in front of him before pulling his strides down then his Y-dogs exposing his very modest young chap while they carried on dancing for the audience and ignoring him. At the end of the couple of songs someone uncuffed him and let him hide his modesty and as I'm writing this I can't believe I didn't incorporate it into a knight Ryder diary entry.

went to see keegan do a talk in a few years back to promote his new book and then queued for about an hour afterwards to get it signed and chatted/took photos for a couple of minutes. first thing the wife said to wor kev is to ask him if he still had ginola's phone number. pathetic really.

😂😂😂

Absolute precision bribe to get Castagne to just put that one close enough to Pope to save it. Whoever is sorting these bribes out is earning his money.

GB News really need to find a new weatherman.

Hopefully they’ll be nice and you’ll get a decent tip

This is no way to talk about a team that has won the PL 4 times in the last 10 years.

We're going to wax lyrical about shitloads of absolutely world class footballers who we have never heard of

Owen in the studio perplexed over why Leicester's want-away star player would be left on the bench until half-time in a crucial match in a relegation battle. Really? Really?

Right on cue

I hope we’re annoying the entitled, helium-voiced cunts for decades to come

Aye, Everton fans in general have a massive chip on their collective shoulders about us. The other thing about Liverpool (and the same applies to Arsenal) is this odd belief they play the game in a pure way and anyone who doesn’t conform to that ideal is ruining football. Like teams are meant to be open as fuck and be happy to lose 6-3 or whatever. Apart from it being nonsense it’s not that long ago Liverpool fans were happy with Houllier’s ‘pragmatism’ in Europe against Barcelona with Michael Owen playing as a lone striker in a boring draw at Camp Nou. Same with the success under Rafa. It was ok when George Graham was successful too. Even Wenger was happy trying to cancel out Guardiola’s Barcelona because he knew his team was just a shit version of theirs and would get destroyed if they were open. Not to mention most of Wenger’s real success coming when he had a team stacked with dirty cunts and having a terrible disciplinary record.

Maybe Dean Smith just wanted Leicester to be able to get relegated in front of their own fans.

From relegation certainties to Chanpions League in a season and a half. Absolutely fucking unbelievable.

Carragher choking on his congratulations

Unthinkable 15 months ago. Enjoy a lot, friends.

Poor CT, sat in front of the laptop, boxers round his ankles, trying to view bikini pics of Denise Welch.

Is that right?

Also, while I wouldn’t suggest for one moment that some of them overplay their concern for human rights in the Middle East purely for footballing reasons, Exile1968 went to Turkey on holiday last year

absolutely cracking city san sebastian is mind. I cant imagine there's too many supporters of europe's elite clubs pissed off at the opportunity of missing out on a plate of scouse slop when they can be sampling the delights of pintxos in the stunning old town instead. stupid scouse cunt.

So the mackem seagull abuser thing has got to them. They're (Seriously) claiming he's a "Mag". When questioned what the evidence to this assertion is they point out 1) the newspaper reports did not specify who he supported so he could be a NUFC fan and 2) animal abuse is worse in Newcastle than Wearside. I mean 1) is a bit strange, do newspaper articles normally discuss which football team a person supports? Using the fact they didn't say he supported SAFC or not to prove he supported NUFC is a bit nonsensical. The papers did say he was from the spiritual home of SAFC, Roker, so I am guessing it is likely he is a massive lads's fan. 2) I was curious to where the SMB got thier data. A quick search, first result suggests that actually County Durham is the worst place in the country for animal abuse, with Newcastle not in the top 10. Sunderland is in County Durham according to them isn't it?

They were debating whether or not to support Gateshead yesterday. No because they wear black and white and had ‘Wor Team’ on a banner or something and are wannabe mags. Using the wrong ‘Wor’ is cringey or something. Against yes because they had 3 former Sunderland players plus Jimmy Montgomery’s grandson in goal plus the inevitable reference to Gateshead having previously been in County Durham. That fucking toucher Hank Williams being particularly vociferous in his anti-Heed feelings. They’re so fucking weird. I mean not all of them, as sone were quite rightly pointing out it was a ridiculous thing to be arsed about. But the things some of them get upset about

FYFYP

"It wasn't the first time, nor the second, nor the third. Racism is normal in La Liga. The competition thinks it's normal, the Federation does too and the opponents encourage it. I'm so sorry. The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi today belongs to racists. A beautiful nation, which welcomed me and which I love, but which agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world. I'm sorry for the Spaniards who don't agree, but today, in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists. And unfortunately, for everything that happens each week, I have no defense. I agree. But I am strong and I will go to the end against racists. Even if far from here."

Just to say.

praise be to @Gemmill, bit of a cunt but a reasonable thread starter, I suppose. (ish) anyway..... been to munich but only ever driven past the allianz arena, never been to madrid in me life. these are the two i crave, happy happy days, bring them both on as well as the party in london this weekend (love you @PaddockLad) have a fucking tremendous rest of the week gentlemen, bollocks to doing any work!

Owen telling Bruno he played for the club, the desperate sycophantic fat headed bore.

Need to learn to beat teams like that just as much as teams like Brighton. I think more will do what Leicester did next year.

Doesn't say much for your craic.

Remi Streetes won't forget

When you sat on it after getting in from the Gate, did any piss leak from your nappy?

of course you did

Been up to Northumberland this weekend to scatter a late friends ashes. Went with a friend who had never visited the area and they were stunned how gorgeous the place is. We went for a swim in the sea at Link House beach and a pod of Dolphins were there, fucking fantastic. But not only that, they were saying how friendly everyone is. Loved it. Although I am not from the area, having family from Ashington I felt immense pride.

Can’t believe you missed the tap-in ‘Before you were barred’

Tongue on brown

I had no idea about any of this. Pretty fucked.

just asked mrs bd, ginola wins hands down apparently. in fact he's quite comfortably the best newcastle player in the thirty odd years we've been together. make of that what you will.

Get him signed, Mandy.

It's sad some of these players will move on next season. Howe and his team have the whole club buzzing and together.

Pope and Trips saying Longy has been listening to the CL anthem

Idols, I think that was what it was called. Not that iI ever went there. And if I did it was only once or twice

Before you were barred?

I liked them but I didn't worship them either, tbh.
