  1. So we’re on sky, does that mean because it’s the Carabao there’s no streams for Man Utd at Old Trafford v Charlton ??
  2. “ghan hame” in kale valley… talking of which Lucas De Bolle ripping it up for Hamilton Accies at the moment btw
  3. We should make a Toontastic retirement crèche, put the non productive and pre senile like you and Robin Robin in it
  4. It’s fuckin lovely isn’t it? We’d say “tway” for two, which I realised when we went to Breda in the UEFA cup is precisely how the Dutch pronounce “two” ie as in Willem II F.C. who play in nearby Tilburg, a local explained the club is named after Prince William the 2nd, or as they say “Willem Tway” …. I’ve since learned the make up of the Anglo Saxons who settled the north east and eastern Scotland were from all over what is now northern Germany, Denmark and Holland, and some of how they spoke is still with us today 👍
  5. Was giving this a miss then started to regret it, but I’ve not been out the house since Friday with a rotten cold so I wouldn’t have been going anyway….not sure if that’s a win? 🤔
  6. Stand by for a knock at the door this weekend if I get nicked @Gemmill I’ll send you a visitors pass from jail , bring a cake with a file in it :D
  7. SIGN THE PETITION ✊🏻 This is near where the in laws live. Incomers to the area are CUNTS
  8. Aah ok, yeah it was just to illustrate that there’s more than one way to come at this. London is obviously hugely different to the NE but Brentford is a brilliantly well run club. London , especially south London is teaming with young talent in a way that am fairly sure the NE no longer is. Elliot Anderson isn’t ready to contribute at 21… if he was, he would be . There’s time for him but where are the others?… I completely agree with the criticism of Ashley re youth development but perhaps it doesn’t make sense to invest when the raw material is scarce. South London provides more premier league players than anywhere else in the country and the competition to attract them is intense. Looks like Brentford have let others incur all the initial expense then just cherry pick those who didn’t quite make it and saved millions. They may well still make good profits on B team players. Just a personal opinion, but I think the diminishing returns re outstanding young talent coming from traditional Northern industrial “hotbed” areas ie NE, Liverpool/Manchester, Yorkshire coal field, and to me most obviously and sickeningly Scotland . The communities that produced hundreds of great players in the 20th century no longer exist, so the players aren’t coming through. What have we had in the last 20 years? Taylor, Ramage, Carroll, Longy? In the 80s Newcastle had a player of the year award and a Geordie player of the year. Not much need for the latter recently…
  9. No. No idea 🤷🏻‍♂️ bonus point / negative point? 🤔
  10. Yeah but don’t bother. Domestic installs deliver a constant temp of about 20-22 degrees, there’s little adjustment ie it’s on or off and it doesn’t do HW. Hydrogen boilers would be better but are ludicrously expensive atm and you’d have to change your entire system ie pipes rads etc .
  11. I think combis are being phased out in new builds but retro fit is still allowed. It’d cost 20-30k per dwelling to install a low carbon system . That’s covid furlough type money and there’s no conceivable uk government going to do that in the in the near future.. it would make sense and provide 1000s of jobs but It’s not happening…,
  12. Brentford ditched their academy precisely because theyd develop players and not be properly compensated when they left (usually to Chelsea I imagine 😆) https://theathletic.com/4067209/2023/01/08/romeo-beckham-brentford-inter-miami-loan/?source=user_shared_article
  13. If it’s >10 years old change the fucker as HMHM says. We had the heat exchanger changed in ours but it’s now making a a really loud noise when it ignites, too much carbon on the gas regulator or something. We were going to move last year so got it serviced so it’s not dangerous (or it wasn’t that day ) but we’re going to be here for a while yet so will probably have to replace it..
  14. Aye that’ll do it like. Not a lot of recently found moral compasses on that thread which is refreshing. One lad says bar Isak who’s barely played our spending is in the West Ham/Villa bracket which is fair and tbh generous for your average punter…
  15. So Leicester have only sold 700 tickets for this, mostly because they’ve won it twice in living memory + FA cup/league title and the fans aren’t really up for anything bar survival this season… tbh they sound like us in 06/07 but with added silverware https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/130841-newcastle-away-league-cup-quarter-final-pre-match/page/8/#comments
  16. This morning we can bring you exclusive footage of Robin Robin with Dougle’s breakfast whisky
  17. Fuck off man “the fella who got Bournemouth relegated” ….
