Stand down Dave, all is forgiven...

Lad sat behind us on Sunday told us that one of our v. famous Geordie ex players has been going around saying that whilst our meagre backroom staff were all on furlough Alex Bruce has been taking a wage from the club as "chief scout".... don't shoot the messenger etc etc

It’s widely held seemingly by those who are so incapable of original thought they need someone to tell them what’s just happened in a football match and place great importance on who gives out this vital information, yeah ..

I remember those who returned when Keegan was appointed manager in 1992...they weren't very popular with those who had endured 1990-92

But properly constituted PIF, a business entity spending legally earned petro dollars around the world are utterly beyond the pail according to the Premier League? What a load of fuckin shit man

I think I posted the same thing the season before last from the same very decent source....we've sold around 30k season tickets...

Depends on what's in it for the management team? The more I watch the way certain clubs act in the transfer market the more I'm convinced its mostly all bent, brown envelopes are more important than the needs of the squad. See signing Ba & Cisse within months of each other....

For those of a certain age THREAD/

Beautiful vinyl crackle & hiss👍

First listen to the new Teenage Fanclub album “endless arcade” .... it’s like something from the 60s....this is the opening track...

Seeing as I have the feeling that we’re not the biggest payers in the league and not recalling any reports to the contrary id suggest that we weren’t paying a proportion of their wages...

They were all out on loan last season Dave...

Lejeune Atsu Carroll Saviet Muto Sorensen All left, not one player has been signed...this is fuckin sensational even by Ashley's standards 😅😅😅😅 Tbf none of them featured to much extent last season but the other side of that is there's not a lot of wages saved ..

Warholm beats his own WR by the best part of a second in the 400 hurdles...Benjamin in 2nd broke it too https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/58067231

Yeah he was a class horse but probably just shy of being able to compete individually with Christie/Regis/Campbell etc..

Maybe this is him trying to make the Ashes. Players can’t play 12 months a year, however much loot is on offer these days ...

My mate who lived across the road from us was in 6th year when he was called up to the Scotland commonwealth games training squad when it was held in Edinburgh in 1986. Think he was in the top 3 in the country that year, so he was called up so the coaches could put him through his paces . He didn’t make it, a kid with the magnificent name of Elliot Bunney got a place instead of him , he went on to run for GB in the late 80s/early 90s. My mate played rugby for Scotland under 21s..

Ben Stokes: England all-rounder to miss India Test series and to take 'indefinite break' from all cricket this makes me think there’s a major story about him about to come out...or maybe he just needs a rest?

Paging @Kid Dynamite you're bound to have a chapter mate
