Ashley will never see any of the money raised in that scheme, BD. I 100% wouldn't have put in anything otherwise. It's a pipe dream I get that and the way I look at it is I've put a few quid to NE charity via monthly donations or if the shit hits the fan a la Portsmouth or the mackems at least we'll be less susceptible to having del boy Don and Meth-head rolling up hitting us with leveraged buyouts and 2002 Ibiza tunes instead of the Blaydon races at half time and permanently fucking the club for good. That's the way I look at it, anyway.

If you haven't already, start contributing even a small amount monthly to the 1892 pledge because they way things are going it's going to help save the club in a few years time when we're at the mackem's stage. It doesn't have to be this way and it's easily avoided but as a wise man once said, if you keep poking a tiger with a stick it'll bite you and Ashley's gambles don't always pay off for him. If two of the promoted clubs come up full of spunk for their first year up we're in serious trouble as there's only Leeds from last year who were newly promoted and I think they'll be ok for the 2nd season syndrome. Again, we're going to have get ahead of the likes of Brighton etc and hope at least two of the promoted teams struggle. Bored shitless with it and you try to not let it bother you but it does. Imagine going into a new season with a bit of enthusiasm and hope? It's been far, far too long we've experienced it. Seeing the shit in the past and then seeing us realise our potential just to get into this fucking clip through the spiv who owns us is heartbreaking for anyone with a love of our club.

Mission on BBC iPlayer, French programme with bits of American and Russian thrown in about a futuristic mission to Mars. Think 2001/2010 vibes. Really enjoying it so far. (They discover a dead Russian cosmonaut, alive at forty when he should be 90). Canny theme tune at the beginning.

Another cunt at a final with a ticket when others couldn't get there? I'm sure he was on board with the England team from the beginning. Wanker.

"....And if I may say one more thing, Simon, one more thing.....I have never, NEVER, shut the doors in Bliss and ran away when one of the bar staff, the tall gangly plank kid, was threatened with a gun and the lad that threatened him turned up later, and it's yet another slur the establishment have tried to sling in my direction."

Downloaded the app but as I'm off this week and it's lush like fuck am I actually going to activate it. Haven't been off once bar using a days holiday waiting for a test result back in October as I had some symptoms. Our place are normally Nazis for sickness but there was a spell where it wasn't included as sickness and was full pay. That's when I should've had the app! (Plenty used it and on more than one occasion). Anyway, it's been a case of using holidays, unpaid leave or going on your sick record for a good while now so there's no personal benefit to it at all but obviously you're helping reduce the spread apparently. I'm in two minds to not bother with it except now there's now more 'freedom' I'm more likely to actually get it/come into contact where up until the brief relaxations I've been playing by the rules so didn't feel the need for it and really don't trust the source of the app or their intentions with my/our data.

Don't anyone tell me Leeds were the only damned United. Never ending takeover with a league who really don't want it as their top brands aren't happy, Mike Ashley for over a decade, Bruce the latest duck egg in the dugout, another season of relegation or not far off it and even the professional writers being paid to cover us think it's a joke.

Shit's going to get real when Ryder wade's in to the Thomson House rescue. Please let him stick his oar in.

Never heard of her....... ......MY FUCKING LOSS!!!

Another suspect!

"And today, Gemmill, that very same bouncer who came running in because he was a soft cunt. You knew him then only as Steven......" "But now I am known as just 'That cunt Wraith!" "Yes, the very same bouncer and self promoter extraordinary....... It's Steve Wraith!"

Fuckin hard barman, or SO-CALLED FUCKIN HARD BARMAN. Shitein it.

Possibly 94 at the latest. We never got into a fight coming out of there which I put down to either a miracle or more likely there was too many of us. Always looked dodgy as fuck with a East end/West end/ any fucker else wariness of other groups. (Can't say I'd love to go back although I'd be lying if I said I didn't have the odd good night in there. You want a medal the size of a frying pan working in there).

So you enjoyed it after all?

Same one, different name. (This clown went to both incarnations on occasions with mates who were even bigger clowns).

Gemmill still haunted by working for a while in tux2.

I think the vast majority realise he's a fucking pudding but I'm going to be honest, he's surprised me just how much shit he talks and at times he might as well have a shovel in his hand and shoving his weight on it the amount of digging he does on that hole of his. Never a month goes by in the season where he doesn't belittle the club even when he thinks he's doing it tactfully. Fucking dream manager for Ashley and his minion.

"You might very well think that but I couldn't possibly comment."

He's a bad enough appointment as manager as it is without opening his gob and confirming it further.

No, buddy, he picked it up in 'Nam! Birmingham. Got pinned down in a fight with Charlie. Charlie Kennedoi.

Around the same time he got a bad head wound in 'Nam. (He tripped over a kerb on his way to Villa Park).

"BUJ7, injured or 'injured'.....and another thing, did you see the coward mackem? Probably the grandson of the cunt I gave a haymaker to on the fulwell end in may, 1970, but would you have it?!? Cowards!!! Nail some sense into 'em!"

Reminds me of the hungry fuckers who get a tattoo of their team as champions when they haven't yet won it or a player who then moves to another club and end up in the newspaper in days gone by or all over social media now. Divvies with an unhealthy smattering of attention deficiency in most cases I'd guess?

Possibly but some fans out there are all about the numbers, (not numbers on the back of a shirt, numbers of likes and RTs whether it makes them look a tit or not!)
