The @thebrokendoll right now.....

Every other twat in this big 6 has been allowed to grow their squads with money pumped in at some point in time which generated success which lead to outside sponsorship as sponsors became more of a thing, this then lead to lucrative tournaments which then intensified their sponsorship reach. We needed to get quality in at a good age and hope to fuck they develop well and stay injury free to keep being at the right end of the table. Then the revenue should start coming in but the sponsorship money will remain middling if we remain a once in a while top 6 side. Our hands are tied but as I mentioned a few weeks ago, I caught a snippet of Silverstone talking and I got the distinct impression he's/NUFC are holding off accepting sponsorship deals which we'd be tied to in a few years time that we wouldn't want to be tied to. It must have pissed them off being stuck with castore and fun888 for as long as they did. Are they confident we can make the top 4 as is? Is the man city thing going to make our pathway a lot more clear? Who knows? I do know there were and still are some very jittery arses around places like Spurs when it comes to Newcastle United, maybe not in their stands but definitely in their boardrooms.

And how's Cath doing? Ant, Cath, now Howay (by the looks of it) adding to long list of ex-posters.

Well I'll be driving an electric car soon, when I was a teenager in the eighties watching Alexei Sayle I had a burning ambition to drive a Czechoslovakian car from behind the iron curtain and be the envy of my classmates so we're getting a Skoda enyaq.

I've no idea? I just recall one of you was accused of driving a 'hairdresser's car'. (Think it was ewerk?)

The hairdresser's choice.

Adam Ant?

If I had a couple of years YTS at Thomson house as a trainee journalist instead of being on the dole or being at a tuppence happeny place in Newburn I think I'd have made a great local journalist on YouTube.

Well the fences went down after April '89, the benches look pretty new and the executive boxes went up mid 80s iirc so I'd go 86/87 on that particular picture?

U Ok hun?

That old flake advert must've tipped CT over the edge.

Me looking for CT's funny picture on the funny picture thread.

Aye, there's a few things for sale on eBay for prices which are never going to sell in a million years. Unrealistic ambitions to put it mildly.

Brazil got annihilated by Germany a decade ago but only now does merson fink they're not all that because their players play for noocarsul, wolves and West Aahm.

Last song in a nightclub and the lass you had your eye on ended up dancing 'cheek to cheek' with some other cunt?

He's definitely had mental troubles, pretty sure he's mentioned it in the past, he did one of our matches with spurs and was painful to watch tbh. Maybe he thought he would be ok to do pundit stuff again?

🎶 We're going to London, and New York city And we'll take a piece of Amsterdam We're gonna ring rongy* dong for a holiday 🎵 *I accept these might not be the actual words

Guarantee CT loved 'Lady in red' by Chris De Burgh. What do you think, Johnathan Frakes?

I recognise Tom but who is the wall dancer? (Just out of interest, you understand?)

Mackem director apologising to Merson for having to leave the arsenal chat to go to the other game earlier on just before our KO. (how inconvenient those 10 minutes of chat were).

@LongTimeAdmirer fluffy kittens or something similar for the next thread hinny.

'yooo can see vyver Brazilians are straggling if I'm being honest bat Barnes hits a worldy to get em aht of it.'

Carra when the FT whistle went....

8 minutes!!!???? Fuck right off, man! (1minute in the first half btw).
