80 years old. Was just thinking about him the other day watching that Brendan Foster documentary. He was the NE main TV man, always seemed a real affable bloke too. RIP

Aye, just because some divvies who have union jack flags on their twitter avatars were allowed to vote on a referendum that should never have happened.

Sorry I never spotted this earlier. Might've had some advice for you. Good luck but don't be surprised if they knock you down as it's almost a default position they take while they try to grind you down. Get the descriptors online ready just in case and try and go through every one if you haven't already.

Bigger population and they'd turn out to watch a game of tiddlywinks as long as the score went over double figures and there was a copious supply of burgers, hotdogs and lager.

Fair enough. Tell you what, I wish some young'uns would get their heads out their arseholes and realise Ashley is only out for himself and grasp the potential of NUFC. 'Some'

I know how the chant goes. Personally speaking I think it's a bit shit and a bit of a cop out towards the owner. Anyway, point I'm making which has flew over your napper is that older fans can also see how Ashley is operating, (do you not read this forum?), and there's no premium on age and sussing the owner. I was protesting against NUFC boards before you were born, man! Just thought your older fan comment was a bit of a strange thing to say.

I heard some young'uns singing 'we don't care about Ashley' v West Ham. Seems its not just older people who don't have your unique 20-20 vision.

It would be tempting to walk into his office, show him your middle finger and say, "here! fat cunt! Fucking swivel on this".

Pardew, big sham, Grayson and coach Carvs blatantly being shunned by UEFA only for being pro-brexit.

Looks like it.

You kind of sound as if you're in two minds about him?

My eyes seen it too but I'm glad the Fish confirmed it with a heatmap because it's better to be safe than sorry.

The club he drank in auctioned off his socks to pay for his fine. (Which he then spent on horses and an all dayer).

This bloke was who worked at my place was though.... (Not sure if pic will upload on new site?)

I couldn't because I wasn't there!

It's ok, the market will find it's level, hard working taxpayers will take back control etc.

Not really sure, tbh, Fish. (And that's without my erratic timetable). As a one off, maybe, but I'm no James Horncastle and co.

Aye, I couldn't pass anything on as I'm a plastic, fairweather supporter, anyway.

Aye, it's a tricky one. On the one hand you've ten years of multi-fuck ups and genuinely astonishing pull your out moments, ten years of unrest or unrest bubbling under the surface, ten years of belittlement of our club, ten years with two relegations squeezed in, ten years with Joe Kinnear getting two calls to help us norveners aht and thinking he was Michael Caine in 'Get Carter'. Ten years of which plenty were spent with Mr bullshit Pardew talking utter shit whilst breaking all kinds of unwanted records, ten years where someone like John Carver, someone who I wouldn't let run the local working men's social club first eleven's football side, was allowed to be our manager, ten years where the debt increased because of the owners decisions, ten years where the ground was renamed to his shit sports company and made a laughing stock for no revenue whatsoever, ten years where you can barely see any advertising revenue opportunities because of the multitude of SD boards, ten years of revenue not growing other than the centralised TV deal, ten years of all this and plenty of other Mike Ashley induced shit......on the other hand Rafa needs to rethink his tactics a bit, apparently and maybe the odd selection or something? Aye, definitely a tricky one, Tom.

Not being funny back but no chance. At the min I'm a full time worker, 12hr shifts, full time Dad, part time carer, part time taxi driver with the last two, part time project manager with my house job, part time painter and decorator with house job and occasional leave to have a few pints when we're playing. I could tell any interested parties where I'll be on a match day and give them an oral, (oo-er missus) version if they want like the old days. Any bits I can't remember I'll refer them to excellent old NUFC books of which they're a few.

If they were two divvies I could've slaughtered them but they're two sound kids tbh. I still bollocked them but gave the 'I'm more disappointed than angry' look in the end. There's things you should just 'know'. I wasn't born for the likes of McNamee swinging off the crossbar in front of the fulwell etc but things just handed down. I blame their fathas.

Looked canny half arsed to me. Tbf he was more blowing out his arse than being half arsed but it adds up the same when it comes to him. He wasn't the worst last night so it's not as though I'm picking him out for special treatment.

Was talking to a young'un, (28-ish) and he mentioned the 'sir John hall' stand. I half jokingly bollocked him for saying it, (he's a sound lad) and told him Hall was taking the piss naming the Leazes after himself rather than a club legend if it had to be changed, and that it always should be called the leazes. The lad had never heard of Hall at all and never given the name a second thought, never mind wondering if he was an ex-player or anything. I also had a bit craic a while ago with my pals son, (again, a lovely kid, early twenties, no mug etc) and talking about David Kelly was surprised to see him look blankly. He hadnt a fucking clue who he was. Not sure if it's me but I can't believe the lack of basic club knowledge from some of the younger support. I know I'm probably sounding like an old cunt but without 24hr sky stats/internet etc most of my peers knew the ins and outs of a fart when it came to NUFC and that was when we were also fucking shite. Anyway, carry on.
