huge credit to our new owners for a sacrificing a year out of the PL to aid his development. doubt it'll get reported though.

perhaps steve nickson is the new alan carr's dad after all?

a belated happy birthday to CT from me too.

BUJ... outstanding shift last night. too embarrassed to go through some of me older post on this thread now. hat doffed to those who've maintained there may be a player in there.

pretty much sums it up for me.

mines a very reasonably priced doombar please.

and it took me about 53 seconds to get served, something uglymackems would never put up with!

and a footnote... £2.85 for a pint of doombar, honestly you don't know you're fucking born you locals. be lucky to get change out of a fiver in cheltenham spa!

percy arms for me, hope to be there in 20 minutes. should wander in and spot someone who makes the average tramp look dapper, that'll probably be me!

setting off for this in a few hours time and not expecting getting home till 2am ish. desperately hoping beheadie eddie and the boys make the effort worthwhile. gonna go for a mockers putting on nervous 2-1 win.

masters doing his impression of gerrard there with a multitude of 'erms' while simultaneously lying through his teeth. still would've liked to see the CAT case go ahead and publicly, master's coming out with his biggest whopper in the interview with regards to transparency.

shit wumming. I would expect better, my hyperspace travelling friend.

I doubt most mackems would appreciate the difference between a bottle of st emilion and thunderbird. mind you, nor too would hippohead.

lindisfarne's geordie genius: the alan hull story. cracking hours television on bbc4 if you can get it on catch up presented by sam fender and quite moving at times. alan hull was a regular in the potters wheel in sunniside in the early 80s and just one of the lads and a fucking big drinker! he managed and promoted a young sunniside solo singer/songwriter/guitarist who was a regular at the match with us called Ian mccallum and although as a talented soloist he never made it he ( @ewerk (apologies again!)) joined stiff little fingers in the early 90s and remains with them still.

bound to be an anti-masker too... string him up.

love the late 50s, early 60s stuff i do and built up a huge collection of mp3s from that era. brian mathew's sounds of the 60s made being at work on a saturday morning more tolerable and even picked up new songs from the soundtrack of call the midwife! anyway, thought i'd made a new discovery when the mercedes eqs advert popped up a few days ago. turns out it's a new song so it isnt allowed in me collection, however i really like it and it has the sound of that era with maybe some amy winehouse thrown in?

i'm loathe to give an opinion at all mate, for fear of luring mr logic back in.

and in other news bound to infuriate @essembeeofsunderland lascelles is a colossus according to msn sport.... https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/newcastle-played-a-blinder-with-dream-£7m-deal-for-colossus-who-gives-everything-opinion/ar-AAR4tNF?ocid=mailsignout&li=AAnZ9Ug

mbappe back on the cards according to emmanuel petit and the express... https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1526424/Newcastle-transfer-news-Kylian-Mbappe-PSG-Premier-League-Real-Madrid alexandre laccazette according to some random Italian paper... https://m.calciomercato.com/news/milan-sfida-con-atletico-madrid-e-newcastle-per-un-attaccante-59090 and trippier according to the sun (not linking the sun, and probably shouldn't the express!) anyway, regardless of how fanciful these are it's nice to see us popping up again on the bbc's gossip column after years of ashley neglect!

ah! i only heard about google last week!

oy.... you mocking my computer skills?

i like the mr logic thing, although i also reckon there's more than a bit of terry fuckwit in there too.

i'm that much of a dinosaur i dont even know how to do a proper laughy face!

likewise mate. but you're not the one here who's claiming it's bordering on a heinous crime to just be happy enough to judge with what you've watched with your eyes.

i know i'm an old cunt, however.... you'd go to the match, and it would go something like this.... you'd avoid getting your head kicked in by the oppositions supporters. you'd have a few pints, or sometimes a bit more. you'd watch the game, have a sing and a jump about. come out feeling happy or miserable. buy a pink. have some more beer and discuss the match with your mates, who'd had a blinder, who'd been average and who'd had a nightmare. seems these days for some at least this has all been forsaken for video phones, stop watches, measuring tapes, calculators, slide rules and websites full of mathematical equations and mind-numbing statistics. fuck that.
