  1. I have definitely over my years of lurking, learned the Meenz loves his Dadi Freyr and marathons.
  2. Newcastle may be desperate for glory, but so are others AMID all the hullabaloo about Newcastle United’s takeover by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund, there was an underlying feeling the club’s fans were entitled to celebrate the transaction because they had waited so long for success. It is true that Newcastle have gone 52 years without any form of silverware, but they are not alone in being an underachieving club. Certainly, nobody should be using the phrase, “they deserve this because they want it so much”, a throwaway rolled-out by TV “talent” shows full of weeping wannabes and hyberbole. For example, in the current Premier League, there are four clubs (Brentford, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Watford) who have never won a single major trophy. Burnley have waited the longest, 61 years since they won the league title. Then there’s West Ham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have gone 41 without a trophy on their boardroom table. In Germany, exactly half of the 18-team Bundesliga have never won a trophy, while poor old Hertha Berlin have gone 90 years without a sniff of silverware. It was 1931 when they were last champions of Germany. Among the owners of barren trophy cabinets are RB Leipzig, who despite being in contention for honours, have yet to break their duck. Only four clubs from Italy’s Serie A have never won a cup, but there’s a lot who have been waiting for what must seem like an eternity. Udinese (91 years), Genoa (84), Venezia (80) and Atalanta (58) are all among the most patient of clubs. Nine clubs from La Liga are potless, while Athletic Bilbao have waited the longest among the past winners, some 37 years. Interestingly, seven teams have lifted trophies in the past three seasons from Spain, highlighting their strength in European competition. France, despite the dominance of Paris Saint-Germain, has only five Ligue 1 teams who have never won a bean. Eleven clubs have won something since 2001. Of those that can look back on past glory, Reims have been waiting longest – 30 years.

  3. 🤣 Warnock: “He’s a good manager, a good man. I think he deserves a little bit better in terms of respect after the way he’s played in his career." “When I see fans knocking on his car as he’s going out of the training ground, surely they can afford some security at a place like that? It just disappoints me." “He’ll get another job, you don’t realise what it’s like, the restrictions that he’s managed under for so many years, he’s been unlucky in the fact that he’s had to take the full brunt." “I do feel for him, but he’ll come again, he’ll go away and he’ll come back and somebody else will get a good manager.”
  4. https://www.a-love-supreme.com/product-page/sunderlandtogether #SUNDERLAND TOGETHER (SIGNED BY AUTHOR) DURING THE 2020/21 SEASON, SUPPORTING A FOOTBALL CLUB WAS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT. DUE TO COVID, FANS WERE LOCKED DOWN AND LOCKED OUT AND FORCED TO FOLLOW THEIR TEAMS ON STREAMS. THIS BOOK TRACKS THE JOURNEY OF ONE FAN AND HIS CLUB (SAFC) OVER THE COURSE OF THE PANDEMIC. BUT, EVEN IN THE WORST OF TIMES, THIS SUNDERLAND FAN MANAGED TO LIVE OUT HIS LIFE-LONG AMBITION OF BEING AT WEMBLEY TO SEE HIS TEAM LIFT A TROPHY AND HELP RAISE OVER £225,000 FOR CHARITY THROUGH THE #SUNDERLANDTOGETHER COMMEMORATIVE TICKET SCHEME. £1 FROM THE SALE OF EACH BOOK WILL BE DONATED TO SUNDERLAND BASED CHARITIES…
  5. Alessandro Bastoni’s agent: "I’ve not received any call from Newcastle, I hope to talk with them soon."
  6. Christian Falk @cfbayern TRUE @NUFC is interested in Niklas Süle. The centre-back is a free agent in Summer @SPORTBILD
  7. Is this an admission that your missus is pregnant?
  8. Jonjo and The Fish training with the U23s to prove their fitness. Gemmill was not offered a contract, deemed parsley.
  9. For some reason that I can not explain, the name Steven Grieveson keeps popping up in my sponsored ads. 😇
  10. Osimhen, Umtiti, Nkunku, Adama Traore, Navas, and Tchouameni. The "O", Traore, and ASM. 🤑
  11. Hmmm. Alan Fucking Shearer. A brilliant nine that could put the final product in the bag. Hmmm. William Fucking Storey. Our holiday benefits include coupons for wolf jerky, energy drinks, data, and I know some math.
  12. Just curious, I mentioned Christian Streich earlier. What do you see for him as the next stepping stone to the next level? Or, has he found his plateau? Players rave about him.
  13. Look back through history. @Andrew is a fanatic of his. Give him his props. Bring Sammy and Shola into the fray. Might be onto to a new improvement.
  14. Dalglish: "I'm not surprised that Steven Gerrard has been linked with the Newcastle United job. But the first thing to say here is that, right now, Steve Bruce is manager of the club. We all need to respect that. Speculation has been rife since the takeover by new owners, PIF from Saudi Arabia. I would have been taken aback had the name of the Rangers manager not been put out there as someone who may well be in their thoughts. Brendan Rodgers, Frank Lampard and Eddie Howe are also reportedly being considered as potential replacements for Bruce, should he and the club part company. We will have to wait and see what actually happens I know from experience that Newcastle United is a brilliant football club, and they have passionate supporters. I was manager there for almost two years in the late 1990s. I really wanted to give the club the success it deserved, but we just couldn’t manage it. So I will be keeping an eye on how it all unfolds under the Magpies new ownership, who have vowed to invest millions in their pursuit of success. The Toon Army are excited about the future, and there is a real feeling of optimism after the way things were for a number of years under the previous owner, Mike Ashley. Will they have Steven Gerrard in the dugout? He has been fantastic for Rangers. He won their first SPFL Premiership title for 10 years in a crucial season, given Celtic were going for 10-in-a-row. He has also made some huge strides in European competition. That is why he is being linked with Newcastle United. Right now, though, Steven will not be paying any attention to what is going on at St James’ Park. His only focus will be on Rangers, and Saturday’s massive game at home to Hearts."

  15. Conte, Rafa, Christian Streich, or Renato Gaucho.
  16. "Do you need a pillow or two? What time do you want your scran?" Just the lobster tails or would you like the blinis and smoked roe from sturgeon.
