Newcastle all time great Grant Hanley gives a penalty away in the 6th minute of injury time in the nations league 2-3 to Poland 😀

An equally upper mid table 32

I was hoping it was a typo

I’ve now read the Atlantic article and the way they’ve interpreted what Mitchell says gives the foul stench of a jonnie come lately patronisingly schooling the incumbent staff, whilst thinking that he’s smoothing things over. I know this because I’ve both done it and been on the receiving end of that sort of bullshit. Trust me, I’m an expert on this ☺️

Yes, if you’re referring to the Atlantic article at the weekend. At that point it sounded like someone “close to” Mitchell had also been speaking to Hope… Hadn’t realised a range of journos were present at yesterday’s interview, I thought they were mostly reporting Hope’s piece last night. I still think this is a mistake.

It’s a fuckin ridiculous decision to do this via the media. Newcastle United are being run by fuckin idiots yet again…

Mitchell is annihilating his direct underling in public. I’m not disagreeing with much of what you say. I’m suggesting if you’re going to do the de brief of the transfer window in public there are alterior motives.

So if there’s (rightly) fall out from the dogs dinner of a window why is it in the fuckin Daily Mail and not in a meeting room at the training ground? This is a move, I can’t see it any other way. Eddie might ride it out, but if England come calling he’s a lot more likely to go this morning than yesterday morning

Mitchell almost certainly needed Eales permission for that interview as he’s exclusively discussing club business. If that’s the case then it’s not a wild fantasy to suggest they’re trying to get Howe to walk. If he didn’t get permission it’s Mitchell trying to cover for a major blot on his CV and he should be in a great deal of trouble with his employers. Either way it’s what Shearer and some TT posters have been suggesting for some time….there are huge problems behind the scenes at NUFC. What happens next is entirely down to results. If we’re in the top 4/5 come Christmas it’ll keep a lid on it. Then we’ll see what happens in January…

WTF you copying me into this for? Am from Dorset

@Selkirk is a lucky fuckin laddie… this is what happened to the last TT etiquette breaker…. RIP Parky 🙏🏻

92 explains it. Can’t remember much at all from around then

I’d never heard of him before CMP… no recollection. Was it from the 90s?…

I think it’s mentioned in the first or second episode…. think it’s something from the early 70s…

Typical Dave….all fart and no shit

More good news, dude who laughed at me is from Sicily. I was exceedingly short with him and glared at the ignorant fucker when his lovely female colleague came over to say “yes that’s fine please go ahead” etc. If you don’t hear from me for a few days just to say I’ve really enjoyed posting on here

I’ve just driven round Yeovil’s one way system 3 times to find a carpark. This after: 1. Dude in cafe couldn’t understand what I was saying, when I asked for milk he gave me sugar 2. Dude in premises I’m attending this morning laughed in my face and said “WELL I DIDNT UNDERSTAND ANY OF THAT!” when I was explaining what I’m there to do, in front of his clients and colleagues 3. Car play has stopped working, no audiobooks/podcasts Hope you’re all having a better morning than me

Don’t know who needs to hear this but here it is anyway https://on.soundcloud.com/WwPvRoefmKUuA85h7

If you read Caulkins spiel from the Athletic it’s a variation on this. They could’ve been working on deals for months as you suggest but when the TD is appointed just as pre season started that would have left the recruitment team in limbo for some time until they received some concrete direction. Tosin joined Chelsea on 7 June so that left a month till Mitchell arrived when very likely not a lot happened. The vain approach for Friedman before the season ended would’ve stalled things too. The point at which our window was doomed strongly appears to me was when Ashworth went on gardening leave. It wasn’t inevitable that it’d be a crock of shit at that point but with hindsight it can all be traced back to that point. Dealing with Parish at three different points in the window probably wasn’t a good idea either but again that’s probably down to lack of leadership/guidance. It was a fuckin mess from start to finish.

To get the pipes and cabling into that service riser they would’ve had to have drilled from the inside and shoved them through ready for Bonnnington/Fist there to swing round and connect so why didn’t they just go the whole hog and drill out an access hatch?

@Monkeys Fist Did you ever do this in your climbing career? 😬

Because he’s not allowed to think for himself when he’s put on the spot like that lobe on tv. The honest answer is “fuck knows Brian, lets see his it goes” Anyway, how good is Man Utd’s window looking now?? That question is for you, Mr Ashman😀
