I listened to that there. I haven't seen any of the Noel being racist stuff before. Him not liking hip hop / saying JayZ shouldn't headline Glastonbury, and not liking Jazz hasn't really convinced me. He's DEFINITELY come out with some Brexit dad sounding bollocks (although I can't think of examples, I remember thinking it at the time), and I'd need to see the Russian oligarch and schools with metal detectors comments in context, but I wasn't convinced he's racist by the examples provided in that clip. I'm not defending the bloke. I think it's one thing coming up with some of his nonsense when you're coked up and on top of the world in the 90s, and something entirely different to be wheeling it out when you're sober and in your 50s. A lot of it is embarrassing.

Expecting better from me was your first mistake.

It'll be a well-balanced circlejerk.

If anyone follows anyone or thing even vaguely related to Newcastle World on twitter, you should unfollow them. I sometimes click in these things to try and understand just how they are pulling these lies off. This one they've concocted because "Newcastle United owners" refers to the fact that Simikan, who we were interested in earlier in the window, is now going to Al Nassr, who are owned by PIF. His medical at Al Nassr is complete, resulting in the perfectly reasonable, and not remotely clickbaity headline you see above. If you follow Charlie Bennett, their "Newcastle United writer" on twitter, unfollow him. He wrote this bullshit.

What?!

I would caution anyone against turning Sky on until around 1:20pm. It's Man United v Liverpool later, and they won't know which of the two to talk about more.

"keen to express his support" Let me just slam this boardroom door off its hinges and get down to expressing some serious support.

Say what you like about me, but you leave Taylor out of it.

I've got a mate, my age, and I'm 100% not exaggerating when I tell you that ALL he listens to is Oasis, Liam, Noel, and the Stone Roses. And that's been the case for 30 years.

Get the fuck out of the guitar thread with the puns.

As long as they're playing with their kamikaze high line, we're gonna get chances. Hopefully he plays Gordon and Barnes and we can absolutely tear them to bits on the break.

Anderson singled out for analysis on MOTD's Forest game coverage. Looked like he had a good game tbf.

imagine turning up for your work photo like that.

Everton the first game on MOTD. A late editorial decision.

Congratulations!

I wouldn't fancy being an Everton player trying to get home tonight.

Please define "surge".

Forest might have done us a favour knocking back £60m for Elanga.

@Toonpack How you getting on with the Silo books? I'm just closing in on the end of book 2.

I'm interested to see how the Hope haters respond to this. Is he talking shit and just a fucking liar, or is this a well sourced piece which confirms their own views? Tough spot for a Saturday morning.

See you dickheads in January.

Absolutely. Can I recommend lots of fingersnapping as you pop these ideas at them. You really want to get the point across that you lads are pure free styling these ideas into existence. It's gonna be like Eight Mile up there.

You lads need to stride into SJP on Monday with a flip chart and get this revelatory lecture delivered to Mitchell and Co.
