Happy Face

I don't

We have more capacity than most. And the new telly deal will only improve that situation next year.

Our wages are £20m down on what they were in 2007 as wel though. As a percentage of turnover they're down 30% to 60%. The league average is 70% so we're well blow average. We can afford the extra wages.

Brrrrrp brap.........bddrrrr blap. Let's do the whole album line by line.

Luckily we be only recently cleared big earners Alan smith and Demba Ba off our books so there is plenty of room on the payroll for some well remunerated quality players.

Aye, it was All Songs considered playing Chum that made me hunt out the other Earl Sweatshirt stuff that's out so far..... Already been in the "listening" thread but.... Mint. Been mostly listening to him and Tyler so far. Moving on to Mellowhype next.

Nah it was full of wankers. Rah rah bitch women "fucking" this and "fucking" that at the next table and a few lads who would have got bullied at art school. We were downstairs though, wanna have a look upstairs.

I thought this was the twitter thread and you meant his own

I'll never look at a custard slice the same way again.

I'd never even heard of Paradiso. Trip advisor places it the best Italian in Newcastle. Went on Friday and had 2 courses for a Tenner. Great puff pastry goats cheese starter followed by a lush pork loin with olives. Quality music on in popolos too.

I'm waiting till the last minute

What do we get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was our chairman, Ashley, you shoulda looked out for us a little bit. You shoulda taken care of us just a little bit so we wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money. You don't understand. We coulda had class. We coulda been a contender. We coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what we are, let's face it. It was you, Ashley.

No, it's Ashley's fault, but we can't get a new chairman in the window. I'm saying let's not take it out on the lads - half of who are busting a gut and playing to the best of their (championship) ability, the other half who have the class to lift us out of it and just need to find the form/fitness - or the manager - who's not been able to do anything but field championship/knackered players.

I think the Jonas haters still hatin' and the Jonas appreciaters still appreciatin' tbf

Finished series 2 yesterday. Annoyingly the penultimate episode was better than the last....which sets up season 3 rather than being the crescendo I didn't realise I was watching in episode 9. Think its a rare case where knowing that in advance will allow you to enjoy both of them all the more.

Key to that is home fans not getting jittery, booing substitutions or at then end of games we deserved more from. Support the whole squad and coaching staff. We have less points than we deserve.

Not in mine. A draw would be OK. Defeat wouldn't be the end of the world either.

Awake Because I can't sleep. Bored. Because I've flip boarded and stumbled upon all the Shite I can and most social media folk are a kip. think I'll see if there's an app to get me to sleep....

Me too. tarantino was fucking awful. Was his accent supposed to be comically bad? Really enjoyed it. Got a bit to broad sometimes. The kkk bit could have been in the fast show.

Danny Baker's book. It's a pip and a dandy.

"Mike Ashley has been very supportive" said Pardew Damning stuff

And sold Carroll, Nolan, Barton, Enrique, ba, routledge, Guthrie, Smith, Lovenkrands, Best, Butt... We've bought in some better players, but the experience available in the squad is thinner than it was following promotion.

We watched that on TiVo earlier in the week. Good show. May and Taylor did interviews for it.

There's a difference between saying someone had a shit game and being labelled shit. Not sure anyone here has written off anyone with the potential to improve from our squad, but it's all well and good to say "Ben Arfa was shite today" last year....or "Anita was shite today" this year, without saying they're a waste of money.

Agreed, I would expect Debuchy to offer lots more to the right wing and keep the opposition left side much more on their toes and concerned about the pairing. Just raised it specifically in response to the gushing that there has been over the quality of his crossing, for example.... Think expectations might be too high if they're expecting an Ashley Cole type, teeing up goals week in, week out.
