He's not going to say 'free to a happy home'.

I did a week's work experience there. The experience was sitting around doing nowt then handballing boxes of chep tinned ham out of a full truck with another kid from my school. The son had Ferrari testarossa under tarpaulin in the warehouse as he was banned and I remember the father taking my mate's dad down to London to watch Bruno take on Tim wetherspoon, paid for everything. We did get a tenner at the end of the week but the lesson it gave me about what not to do was probably too late by that point as the damage was done.

Players get bought and sold. We haven't done much selling so probably need some money in and he's an asset we could probably afford to let go. I don't think it'll be a straight swap of him out and Barnes in if it happens. We need more in and this will help facilitate it. We're playing with a deck dealt to us by clubs* that don't want their place taken by us. We'll see what happens, time will get us there but if he has to go and it's for the greater good then bon chance, Maxi, and hopefully the club will drive on to bigger and better things you talented but frustrating person, you. You were needed then, now maybe not so much? See David Kelly/Peter Beardsley for how this should work. (Kelly was even more vital to the club in his time than Maxi by some distance in my opinion). *And Ashley's fucking amazing commercial acumen when it came to NUFC that we're still trying to fix.

Are Craig Hope and Tom Colostomy (?) playing passy the parcel with these Barnes tweets/news?

Of course! Of course it is. It's what they wanted us to think. Go woke, go broke or something.

I'm now wondering if this was a criticism, a fantasy or a euphemism by this far right, grifting, ex-Sun, current GB 'news' cunt?

Dodgy TV is your answer, I watched some of Gateshead game on it. I'm at work so will miss it because that's how it rolls. (It'll be shite anyway, all friendlies are).

Well, well, well. It's always the ones you least, sorry, you totally expect. Apparently these on GB news banged the drum the loudest about Huw Edwards and the BBC......

Penny-wise, pound foolish, the Ashley regime.

This is the same as people posting those wordle things last year. Don't understand it, couldn't give a fuck either.

It's the thoughts that count.

Congratulations! (Your lass is organising the next kids/poo/parents chat get together as we speak now you're going to be part of the family).

Kev. Call him Kev.

It's a ridiculous phrase really isn't it? Apart from the very odd dipshit on social media putting Saudi flags on stuff I fail to see it?

I missed our first two goals but the third was quality despite nature of the game, peach of a ball by Miley and well taken by the lad, Cooke?

I wonder how many times he emailed them pre-takeover?

A reminder of why friendlies are a terrible watch. 1-0 down.

Commentator gets hit on the head by a metal bottle. Of all the commentators it could've been and it ends up being some unknown lad from up here. Sad.

Is he going to his 'prom' night?

I hope he doesn't work, (or work out), with any Mags at work. It's hardwired into some on RTG to equate everything with NUFC.

Apart from that aspect I'm just waiting for the vitriol that'll go Man United's way via the sports media and pundits in this country. I'm sure they're FURIOUS and note that they're ruining the game.

This was my concern, his Bournemouth team took the piss up here when we went down under McLaren, (it's funny how he fades from the memory, good coach apparently, tragic manager), however, the team we had up to Howe's appointment didn't scream out anything other than 'down' and I just thought as good as his teams could play they could also be a bit of a soft touch and we were probably the softest touch around when he came into the job. I thought he was the right appointment at the wrong time but give him his due, he did his homework on the players and also got them to buy into his way of working on and off the ball, gave them some confidence and belief but his greatest achievement early on was to thoroughly get Steve Bruce out of their systems, the players were downbeat as it must've been crystal clear Bruce was a 100% defeatest ten years past his sell by date and just going through the motions dragging their footballing reputations with him.
