"After much deliberation with my partners we didn't feel Newcastle would've added much value to the rich energy brand."

Start a thread then. Get it sorted.

phew!

thanks lads, you're good eggs. it's my first experience seeing cancer up close with a loved-one and it's every bit as brutal and devastating as you imagine. solidarity to all of you who have been through similar. it's a funny one. she wasn't my mam, but i've never known grief like it. i lost all my grandparents, which was incredibly sad each time, but they were all elderly so it was easier to accept. my mother-in-law was only 69. and not only that she was a really young 69 - so full of life, energy and fun. she had so many friends - there were close to 200 people packing out the crematorium - people of all ages. she was also a fierce political activist and was often found outside the houses of parliament protesting against brexit or fascism, was a big supporter of the nhs and lgbtq rights. she also pretty much raised my kids through pre-school years, saving us a fortune on childcare fees and showering the with the sort of love and attention a childminder would probably struggle to replicate. i hugely admired her and loved her very much. we will miss her terribly.

Seems about right for us.

Mexico on Friday, boys. Strangely dreading the 10 hour plane tourney but the free drink will probably help. If I over indulge and end up trapped in a Mexican prison for life, it was good having a bit crack on with you all. Well, most of you

The fact so many on there are claiming he's "sound for a mag" or a "decent fella" makes me feel a little bit better about my irrational dislike of him (as a bloke) based on nothing more than second hand accounts of what a cunt he is

"Hahaha a-listen to this MAMALUKE! He look like-a changing room-a but he sound-a like-a trainspotting!"

I’ve just driven round Yeovil’s one way system 3 times to find a carpark. This after: 1. Dude in cafe couldn’t understand what I was saying, when I asked for milk he gave me sugar 2. Dude in premises I’m attending this morning laughed in my face and said “WELL I DIDNT UNDERSTAND ANY OF THAT!” when I was explaining what I’m there to do, in front of his clients and colleagues 3. Car play has stopped working, no audiobooks/podcasts Hope you’re all having a better morning than me

The Geordie cunts just lap up the long-term strategies.

He's just a sheet metal worker's son from Salford

Doubt most of you would know who he is, but he's a dead ringer for Ginger Meggs.

Typical Dave….all fart and no shit

Cast your mind back to then. Newcastle were undoubtedly a big draw for most players. But Man Utd were one of the biggest clubs in the world, had just won the double and were managed by arguably the greatest manager of all time. And Keith thinks Shearer choosing Newcastle over them at that time is a good example to demonstrate that Shearer has never been a ‘real fan’ of NUFC? Even by his standards, that is unbelievably stupid

Hall reminds me of Harry Enfield's sidekick in the 'double take brothers' sketch.

I was trying to work out who Lewis Hall reminded me of and I’ve come to the conclusion it’s Nookie Bear

Instead of putting this stuff in the general football chat threads, I'll keep it all in here.

Is this going to be like the Guehi thread with no stats and just a lot of mackem behaviour?

Joel "she touched" Matip

Speaking of unintelligible freaks, I’m spending the next 9-10 hours in Wisbech. I almost dropped in on Meenzer but as I went past his gaff I noticed the net curtains were drawn and Gnorman the Gnarden Gnome was turned towards the wall, so I took it as meaning he was WFH* That, and my “passenger” was starting to come round- even with the ball gag and the sack on her head this one’s a proper screamer, so I didn’t want to upset the neighbours- maybe next time Meenz? So, Wisbech… absolute pig fuckers * WFH- either Working From Home or Furiously Hard.… … potayto potahto.

She sounds like an absolute diamond mate, and she lives on in the causes she helped champion and the grandkids she helped raise. It's no wonder it's hit you as hard, reading your post.

Will it give us wing(er)s?

Is he speaking English?

Sorry, what? *Make that 'I DON'T understand' by Don Corleone.

agreed. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this is the worst window since the Saudis came in. The recruitment team wasn’t able to pick up where Mandy left off - we can only speculate why they weren’t able to deliver, given there was obviously money to spend this time. Not backing Howe in January was understandable given the PSR crunch, and it’s always more difficult to do deals for good value in the winter window, but it did hamper our chances of getting European football again because the squad was so stretched at the time. Failing to improve the first team given the time we had in the summer window has to go down as a failure. I don’t think we can afford too many more windows like it, or we will start to see the progress made since Howe came in retreat, for all the reasons already discussed.

Who’s this cunt?

Keith is at it again on a thread about the uncomfortable train journey Alan Shearer's had. "He basically signed for the mags on a whim after all but signing for Man Utd. He's not a real fan and never has been." https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/shearer-on-the-train-back-from-portsmouth.1640125/page-7

Garnacho is only just 20 so you can probably add him to the list too. My point being, we probably shouldn't judge Hall too harshly. He's well ahead of most other players his age in the league and he might even end up a LW yet

Worth remembering Hall is still 19. There's not many younger players in this league who are starting regularly for their clubs. Edit - I googled it. Mainoo, Ferguson and Rico Lewis the only others

Bacon Buttie Bandit Bruce Blackpool. How the fuck does he get work!!!!

They'll be gagging for a cup upset the pack of bastards.

So where the fuck are the stats like?

Cup game against Wimbledon confirmed for 7.45 Tuesday 24th Sept (live on Sky).

generous

Mixed with Midori?

When the menu is the size of a family saloon I admit I get a little bamboozled.

Went to Blyth town centre for the first time ever the other day. Grim old place

the “oh my days fam” geezer is different class

Your mind

Don’t know who needs to hear this but here it is anyway https://on.soundcloud.com/WwPvRoefmKUuA85h7

I find this whole, the club HAVE to tell us what’s going on malarkey, mental. Erm, fuck off, no they don’t.

10/10 just for the brain aneurysms it’s causing some people

1 minute in so far "Oh my days fam" "Its to easy fam" "All these men are sleeping blud"

Haven't watched it yet but I'm expecting a lot of "Naaaah fam! Naaaah blud!"
