is the answer of a bean counting box ticking yes man

He said finishing 2nd and winning the Europa league "with that squad" was one of his greatest acheivements.... looking at how they've already downed tools for Ole there may be an element of truth in that. It's true his tactics are about 10 years out of date at the top level but so are Rafas. I can live with that.

Agree with all that. I’ve said it on here before that the rules will have to be tweaked for it to work as intended. Danny Baker is right about the spirit in which it’s been introduced though. England had a goal chalked off for the scorers toe being offside the other night ffs. That isn’t football that I grew up with. That’s a gimmick for TV fans most of whom wouldn’t know a football ground from their own arrsehole & money being more important than the game itself.

An unfortunate incident Andrew. For which he was rightly punished. He’s not wrong about VAR though is he?

He's back

The fat cunt is likely desperately trying to find an excuse not to sell the club. If there’s silence next week he’ll have found a way to fuck BZG off. Then Rafa will walk and the players come back on July 4th

What is this "we" gender to which you refer? Cunts trying to be edgy on the internet?

Oh the new Labour MP has “liked” anti Semitic social media posts. Smashing.

Labour hold 64% leave Peterborough by 600 odd votes

This is insufferably fuckin shit

@trooper

The Donald has said that the NHS will be on the table fior discussion at future trade deal talks. @Andrew I’ll see you in Christchurch mate

it's like buying a house. BZG and the club have agreed a price. Either side can pull out but to suggest BZG haven't "made a bid" is taking being cautious to a ridiculous extreme and throwing common sense out of the window. Of course they've made a bid. It doesn't mean the club is sold by any stretch of the imagination. But if it falls through it's not because of them not being serious or not having the funds. It'll be because Ashley isn't selling and is using the BZG bid to stall for time and manipulate the situation enough so that Rafa walks away. 12 years in and people still appear to be giving Ashley the benefit of the doubt despite being in full possession of the facts about him.

So you're taking silence from Ashley as meaning a lot more than firm statements from BZG? What's your opinion on Staveleys bid? genuine?

Journos not knowing if the Sheikh is related to the man city fellah has literally no bearing on whether proof of funds have been provided or a price has been agreed. between BZG & NUFC.

If they've agreed a price would that not indicate that is actually "their bid"?

Do BZG strike you as piss takers then? Their statements have been clear and to the point, proof of funds was provided in May, a price has been agreed. Ashley now has to agree to actually sell the club. If it doesn't happen its completely on Ashley.

I think the interest and offer from BZG are genuine. Ashley is unlikely to sell to anyone though. He’s the piss taker, not the Arabs or the media.

Never heard Sebastián Gorka speak before.... from about 2hrs 44mins he gets interviewed by Emma Barnett... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0005m7q

There was a re match clause in this fights contract. Of course there was. Three brilliant heavyweights all with different tv companies. Yeah. Of course.

Spoken like a true contractor For 99.85% of my working life I’d have told them to shove it. I took a job on the books a couple of years back though. Mobile engineer, we cover 2/3rds of SW England. Gloucester at 2am on a call out. Closer to Birmingham This job is 10 mins from home looking after the plant in the local shopping centre. Free parking. As you say the commute is virtually eliminated and plainly they know this is the draw. Cheers. It’s tricky trying to be cunning and subtle after a lifetime of being a loud mouthed gobshite

ATTENTION TT MEMBERS! 😯 I've been offered a job today via email after an interview on Monday. At the interview they asked my salary which I told them: a. my basic b. what I actually earned (6k more than basic ,overtime etc.) They said at interview a. salary is negotiable b. no scope for overtime They've today offered me just under my basic. I'd normally ignore it but I really fancy the job. It's also less holiday by 4 days and I'd have to do every other Saturday (but I wouldn't have to do a week of 24 hour call outs 5 times a year) the lad who's been doing the job has had a van provided because hes been doing a 3 hour commute. I live 10 mins away. Am looking for advice on how to start negotiations. instinct tells me to go high but that might make them go to no. 2 on the list?

This is Troops today sat in a lay by near Ponteland...
