  1. That plus, the whole being a big ol' bigot thing.
  2. Well you can ask permission to talk to the player and try and sort out personal terms, then try and sort a transfer deal between the clubs. No point agreeing a fee if the player isn't interested or the sums involved are too far apart.
  3. Nah, she's my biggest fan. Knocking you off top spot.
  4. "We'll give you a shit ton of tax-free money" "Sounds Good, Amigo" or something like that.
  5. I think my boss is a fucking loser, but we work well together.
  6. I honestly (and without any real insight other than gut feel) think that he's unhappy that we've been forced into selling Anderson and Minteh. I expect he'd have preferred to sell players like Almiron or whomever, or at least have more cast iron assurances about replacements? Plus he probably felt he had a good working relationship with Ashworth and the new execs are, at best, a period of uncertainty. Eddie will soon be happy enough if the owners throw him a few more players like Isak, Gordon, Bruno.
  7. The children of South Tynesdie can sleep safe tonight.
  8. Do any of them have sp..sp..speech impediments?
  9. I can't tell if them selling Branthwaite for £60m+ will be sink them or save them.
  10. Well aye, he's not going to lean into it, or away from it too much. Just plot a steady course.
  11. Of course they do, there's a Premier League tax for all top flight English clubs, as there is a rich club tax for a few of us, and a Newcastle tax because we're; rich, a Premier League club, a new threat to the established teams
  12. Honestly, I'd have thought this would be the perfect time to have someone like Corbyn (but not Corbyn). A real firebrand who can rail against the handling of Brexit whenever the opportunity arises. Sure their incessant grumbling may be dismissed, but it would keep the conversation going, force the Tories to answer questions on it, force the media to talk about it.
  13. I was honestly looking on Amazon for a tv for the snug/playroom/2nd reception room, but there was something I saw where basically all of the products get their price hiked a few months before Prime day, then "dropped" back down to around the usual price on the day. I'm not getting got. Is it wrong that I looked at the drive from here to there, (6 hours 44 minutes) and thought "Fuck all of that"? Going to use work and/or childcare worries as the excuse to swerve the funeral.
  14. So, lets flip that on it's head, for fun. Howe takes the England job, are there many jobs in football under greater scrutiny, greater pressure than managing some of the most overhyped players on the planet, to the satisfaction of a bloodthirsty media and a rabidly expectant fanbase? 4-8yrs of trying and failing to achieve the unlikely success of European or World Cup victories. After that failure his stock will have fallen because of constant criticism from the press and fans, and his career at 50-54yrs old is over. Versus doing well at Newcastle (even without winning a trophy) he could move to any number of jobs in the Premier League or abroad.
  15. Didn't know whether to post this or not but I guess because I champion talking about stuff it'd be hypocritical of me not to. Learned that my cousin died over the weekend. Not sure if it was a deliberate or accidental overdose. Not sure how I feel about it, I didn't really know him that well, hadn't spoken in decades really. But I know he was struggling with his mental health and part of me can't help but think about the what ifs for my own situation. Then the guilt comes with making it all about me. Then the fear comes back. Then the rational side of me kicks in again. It's all a bit contradictory, I guess.
  16. No, Howe likes the day-to-day and he's got unfinished business with the club. If we'd won stuff already he may be tempted, but he's at an ambitious club, with disgustingly wealthy and supportive owners, a fanbase that loves him and a long, long career ahead of him. England are now producing way more talented young players than once they did and by the time he's ready for international football, who knows what standard of player England will have available? He's going nowhere and anyone who thinks he is, is just letting fear override reason.
  17. The Germans are such a helpful people, that person in front showing all around them where the big screen is.
