Blue on blue sounds like smurf porn tbh.

Do you still think he's better than Shola?

Aye, alex is right. Take the offer, whatever it is, but if you aren't happy look for something else. Once you get stuck on a certain level salary-wise, it's hard to make significant increases without moving jobs, unless you have some sort of agreement in place with your boss when you accept the offer. Which is something you could do btw - have an up-front conversation making it clear that you aren't ecstatic with the pay but realise that it's your first post-uni graduate job, and would like some idea of how he sees your career and your salary developing. If he's non-commital or doesn't see your problem, then you know you're probably going to have to move after a while.

Move out of Scotland man. I'm all for people trying to better themselves.

Go for it.

OLD BASTARD SCRAP! Loving the old timers trying to out-old-timer one another.

When should we expect the humour?

Think I'm giving this game a miss tbh. 3-1 up, £20 in. No thankee.

Online or real? You'd think an accountant would know better tbh. Thin end of the slippery slide and all that. I'm off for a romantic weekend in sunny Bamburgh. Real. £22 to enter a poker tournament is hardly going to break the bank Renty my boy. Cheap night out tbh. As for your romantic weekend....

Joe Royle and that commentator fucking LOVE Bramble. I thought he had a decent game, but you would have thought he was fending off a World XI the way they were going on.

Aye, I thought the two of them linked up quite nicely on occasions last night. Made Baba look a better player too.

Get in, Friday again. The weekend will be over in the blink of an eye like, but anything's better than work. Casino tonight pour moi.

All of a sudden came to life, didn't he. It was against poor players, but hopefully this is the beginning of the proper Duff at NUFC.

Off an Aussie mate. Most, if not all, nicked from Chuck Norris facts.

"MY EYES!!! TAKE MY EYES!!!" Away and shite, I don't like diving, but every fucker else does it, so fuck it.

Saw a lad in Tesco a couple of weeks ago. Normal looking lad. Dressed normally. Turns around and he's got a tribal tattoo on his fucking nose. Nothing anywhere else on his face, just this stupid looking thing on his nose. What a tit!

Crotchless babygrows on sale at the Boro club shop tbh.

Roeder is nowhere near Souness with his moronic and selfish risking of players to save his own worthless hide, which was disgracefull, but on the Shola issue i'm afraid Glenn was taking the piss. The poor lad could barely stand towards the end yet he was sill out on the ptich! I'm not knocking Shola for wanting to have a go, but the manager should have know better and as people said at the time, they either wouldn't have tried it with a Shearer/Owen or those players would have told them to piss off! On the Owen issue all they are saying is they're working him hard, and they're doing that within the confines of what he should be doing at this stage in his rehabilitation, so i ahve no problems at all with that. And more pleasing is the mentions that they have also been working on his hamstrings at the same time to try and get him right back to his very best. The work with Dyer has seemingly been excellent, because freak injuries aside (getting hit in the eye and cutting his leg open!) he seems to be getting through games without some muscle or other going at any given time! The thing with Shola is that his abilites and right to a place in the squad, let alone team, are often criticised. For once in his career he was the main striker, and even MattM4 would agree he was doing a fairly decent job of it. You can't blame him for wanting to play on. I think you'll find you're wrong on the bit in bold.

I can't hear that song and keep a straight face.

All sounds a bit Stand By Me to me. "Blood brothers!"

Quoting from comedy shows is for geeks though. Quoting from Seinfeld is for geeks. Because only geeks watch it. But at least none of those geeks have surreptitiously signed up to a Newcastle forum as The Soup Nazi. But the Will Ferrell DVD isn't the exclusive domain of geeks, so I'm in the clear. And besides, it's a funny name.

Deleted it from my Sky + last night tbh. It was good though, definitely worth seeing.

How desperate is some of Patrokles' rationalising of stuff Roeder has done. Asking for "one last push" from a player booked in for surgery was fucking moronic, unfair to the player, and pretty irresponsible however you want to look at it. Not according to Patrokles though.

Was I thinking of Nancy Drew then? Or is Judy Blume mystery stuff? Anyway, never mind it's a secret, Lennon. I'm going to have to assume he's converted to mackem in the absence of any info to the contrary, and given the amount of time he's spending over there.
