The Fish

This is totally entirely not suspect

I feel that if you win, the door is opened for Newcastle to go fucking mental and I'm all for that.

That's a load of shite an all.

He's harmless enough, and I'm nothing if not genial to the elderly and infirm, just ask Renton.

Jokes on him. His grandson is wearing Man City kit, not a Reg Vardy top in sight.

There's a mackem (early 60s I reckon) who takes his grandson to the same football thing as my lad. The delusions and weirdness is not restricted to RTG; Despite the blood money we've not signed anybody decent. Bruno, Botman, Isak, Tonali, Gordon, Barnes, Pope, don't count because they only joined for the money. Despite all the money (£1bn apparently) we've spent we've not achieved anything. The Champions League, League Cup Final, and 2 domestic Quarter Finals don't count as achievements. Howe's a terrible manager and anyway he'll be off to join England soon enough. PSR means the Saudis will be off soon, he's heard they're interested in Aston Villa. Now, I reckon some of this is him just trying to get a rise out of the Newcastle fan, y'know, for the LOLs. But once you wade through the horseshit, there are some nuggets of nonsense. He did backtrack on a few things, like the standard of players now vs Ashley's time. A team outside the established elite getting CL and QFs is an achievement. But he was adamant that Howe is shit and he'll get the England job, and that PSR means the Saudis will fuck it all off and buy Villa instead. I don't want to have a proper argument with him because a) his grandson and my lad are mates, b) it's mostly bluster and c) the bits that aren't bluster, are very funny to me.

Doesn't Keegan speak about wanting Modric, and yet Fat Sam is claiming that he wanted him? Which manager does the player seem more suited to?

Looks great for the Lee Ryder Cup.

If Stephen King believes a Thinking Man would appreciate Rebel Ridge more than Rambo First Blood, he's not watch either film, nor met a thinking man. Rebel Ridge is a pretty bog standard Military Man meets crooked locals, and singlehandedly takes them out. It's fine, but the fight scenes are underwhelming, the plot as some big ol' holes in it and a lot of the acting is pretty shitty.

Davey Blue 45, is Poe's Law incarnate.

What the fuck are the Subway Socceroos?

POGTFO

That's a helluva drive

The fuck did I do?

Dunno about you, but I keep dancing til the music stops.

you rascal.

Just the law, isn't it? First choice striker for England's national team gets a free pass.

Because Tottenham have been established as one of the PL's 'elite' clubs for some time now. Because they have a commercial department that is more than a few years old. Their previous deal with Aurasma was worth £10m a season, and the monster deal signed with AIA back in 2019 just after they finished as CL runner up, moved into their brand spanking new stadium, had one of the most highly regarded managers in world football, etc.

And when does the shit yourself stage happen?

I think you underestimate the difficulty of the task at hand. Previously, clubs who had suddenly become cash rich could sign whatever deal they like with whomever they like, without giving a shit about appearing fair or not. Pre-FFP/PSR Newcastle would be sponsored by Aramco for £100m a season, or some such bollocks. We're not in Europe, we're not going to immediately be challenging for titles or trophies (even if we were allowed to spend what we could afford).
