The Fish 10971 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Don't know what the changes are, just thought there would be a few top prem clubs who would be happy to see some of their future stars having a year under Rafa. Basically you'd need to loan for either the whole or 1/2 a season. No emergency loans for 1 or 2 months here and there to cover injuries. Worry with long term deals for young players is that if they're integral to your promotion tilt, when they leave you run the risk of signing someone who can't make it in England's 2nd tier, let alone top flight.

David Kelly 1260 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Right, that's it. El Coto visit this Saturday I think in honour of señor Benitez. Get the dates wrapped in bacon. Absolutely outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46043 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Anyone been to Cal's Own since he opened a bigger, nicer place in Jesmond. Was there (again) last night, and it's class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Tried to go when it was in Heaton a while back but it was rammed. Keep meaning to try it. The takeaway Italian pizza place at Four Lane Ends is really nice. And the lass that works there is stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46043 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 If you get there before 7 on a weeknight you'll get a table straight away. After 7 you're queuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came across like a right prick.Aye, I'm sort of warming to him though. He's definitely a tool, but you watch him in the kitchen and he checks every pizza before it goes in the oven and every one when it comes out, and he's fucking meticulous about it. There's loads of restaurants that open and are lush and go downhill within a year once their reputation is established. He's protecting against that by not letting anything leave the kitchen that he isn't happy with and that's fair enough cos it's his business. And he can definitely he a wanker to the waitresses, but I've also been in loads of places where the wait staff could have done with a fucking bollocking. You get good service at this place cos the waitresses are shit scared of him. And that includes telling people that they can't make changes to the menu by adding different toppings. [emoji38] We asked the waitress to make a substitution last week and she got this funny look on her face and goes "I can ask him but he probably won't do it and he'll definitely shout at me for asking, so I'd really rather not."

Haha what a tool. Mind you that's better than years ago when me and the ex went so Frankie & Benny's (yes I know) and she asked for a pizza with no cheese (yes again I know). The waitress said "well you could but it would be fucking awful". I know she was right but it's not the best customer service. Fair play to him over the quality of his food though, it was just the thinness of his skin that I thought pathetic. Especially as the comments made weren't exactly scathing.
