Billy Whitehurst

Indeed. Apparently, the red and white headscarves only became really popular after STID.

I’ve been in Saudi Arabia for work all week. Disappointing lack of Newcastle merchandise and/or punters wondering around in black and white striped thawbs. Can’t help thinking that our commercial department have missed a trick.

Ok, Billy Beane, if you say so. I can’t be fucked arguing with you any more.

Hahaha, guilty as charged I’m afraid. In my defence, it’s only a 10 minute walk and I like going to matches, regardless of who is playing. However, I can confirm that a) Chelsea fans are irredeemable cunts, b) Stamford Bridge has zero atmosphere (even less than The Emirates) and c) Trevoh Chalobah is gash.

So you did all that digging and your argument is that he averages 6.75 vs 6.85 for Lascelles (who I already said I don’t particularly rate) a lot of the time alongside one or both of Silva or Rudiger. That’s me convinced. Sign him up and let’s all start calling him ‘Der Kaiser’.

I live near Stamford Bridge and get tickets for a lot of Chelsea matches, the boy is a bit of a liability and the Chelsea fans will be delighted if he leaves. I can’t remember a game in which he has played where he has not had a howler. This was under both Tuchel and Potter over the past couple of seasons when he first started to get a game for them. Maybe watch him play a few matches before you start dismissing others opinions as ‘absurd’ and ‘nonsense’ otherwise you come across as a bit of a prat. I can’t remember ever seeing him play in midfield although, given he’d struggle to trap a bag of cement, I imagine it would be a bit like Mike Williamson playing there.

I’ve seen Chalobah quite a few times, a total liability. Lascelles, who I don’t particularly rate, is a far better back-up.

He was arguably their worst player last season which, given how shite they were, is really saying something.

We’re ok referring to him as “The Galician” I hope?

Agreed. I propose an automatic 48 hour ban for anyone who refers to him as anything other than “The Hungarian” or “The Magyar”.

He’s taking it well then, lovely to see.

Could not have put it better myself. He’s a proper sad case. Add Barney Ronay to that. His parents named him Barnaby, so he was already uo against it, but he doesn’t do himself any favours. Well, I assume he doesn’t, I can never get past the meandering drivel in his first paragraphs. Still, what a cunt. Barnaby for fucks sake, he should be writing about fencing or soggy biscuit competitions.

Expect them to get snapped up by GBNews soon.

I’m a huge fan of this new Spurs manager, I do hope they hold on to him.

What a fucking ping!!!

I doubt that would stop him, to be honest.

Hahaha, in my defence, I did say my only recollection was Mirandinha coming on.….

It was a boxing day match so, obviously, we didn’t win. My only recollection of the match was Mirandinha (he’s not from Argentina) getting subbed on.

Only Trippier and Bruno would get in their team. And the options off the bench - fuck me 🙈 We’re still about 5 or 6 transfer windows away from getting anywhere near their first XI, let alone their squad, but as a lot of people have mentioned, we competed. The Brazilian Billy Bunter was brilliant for them mind.

Good to see you avoiding the tourist traps and heading for those hidden gems off the beaten track…..

Aye, no wonder he typed it if he signs his name with a crayola.

Was just thinking the very same. What a welcome addition to the board. We’ve needed this since Wyki stopped telling us all his workplace tales of woe.

Hahaha. That wasn’t what I was getting at, I was genuinely interested. Not that I’ll be going anywhere near Covent Garden/Trafalgar Sq/Leicester Square like, fuck that.

Where have you reserved?

The Dolphin by Kings Cross is where the London supporters club go. I’ve never been like, looks horrific. Then again, I’m a miserable fucker who likes to sit down when in a pub.
