Hopefully he'll get cleared of the Theresa Maybeck stuff posthumously

THAT tackle btw. Succeeded where the first two failed

RIP

[Ayatollah Hermione 13792]

Always love how they went on to score pretty much straight after that tackle as well. I was watching the BBC review of Italia 90 and Des Lynam’s commentary was, no word of a lie, “one brother has just been booked and another brother has popped up and scored”

I want to make clear that I'm posting this mostly in incredulity - but the True Geordie has now done a podcast with Robbie Williams... I actually think there's a danger he might get somewhere with this

[wykikitoon 19878]

Fair play to Burnley and Dyche like.  Especially sticking the knife into Stoke

[Andrew 4718]

They're doing ridiculously well, can't really see who would get poached from them either that would bring it all crumbling down, they've no stars.

 

It is however pretty shitty being a Newcastle fan in Burnley right now...

They've been pretty lucky xG-wise, and would be 15pts worse off were their goal scorers not overachieving.

It's shitty being a Burnley fan in Burnley I'd imagine

[Kid Dynamite 6986]

The longest consecutive wins in the history of the top 5 European leagues (across 1 season)

 

[The Fish 10701]

Nah, he's a fraud, I read it on twitter.

[ewerk 30240]

He's a fraud. Parky said so.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13792]

Those performance enhancers he chucks down their necks work well, mind.

Aye, tbf, I said the same thing. Not fraud, but vastly overrated.

 

Wrong again, it seems!

[ewerk 30240]

I'd like to see him try to do with with a team including Manquillo, Diame and Joselu.

Can you imagine it man, our biggest gripes would be that the new fans don't have a clue what the bad old days were like.

[Howay 12496]

I don’t say this sort of stuff about many people but I genuinely hope I wake up one day to news the horrible bastard is bankrupt. 

He knows how much football means to the city and the people, to a lot of people it’s a massive part of who they are. Many people graft all week looking forward to the match day. This bloke has come in and pissed around with it, embarrassed it, soured local ties, cheapened it, and made the actual football side of the club a boring, half arsed shit show. 

It makes me constantly question why he fucking bought the club, he absolutely never intended it to be an Abramovic-lite play thing, and if he genuinely intended to buy the club as an investment then it’s a fucking miracle that he’s a rich man as it’s been run as if it had been owned by a man that simply hates the city of Newcastle for a decade (I mean could you fucking imagine a bloke as inept as Lee Charnley in a C-suite position at a top company  ). 

 

Knowing stuff like how he pissed around the group that bought Man City just makes it even more galling. He had a chance to get out with a profit, when he has absolutely no right to do so, yet he did absolutely nothing but embarrass himself, the football club, and potentially ruin any hope of the club having a buyer from that region even. Against all the odds that has happened again, somehow the lightening has struck twice, yet the bloke somehow seems to think he has the strong hand here  honestly they should do studies on this bloke as he is completely incapable of learning from his mistakes. 

 

Just sell us you absolutely fucking horrible fat, greedy, lying, conniving pig. Then please promptly go backrupt.

Tbh I wouldn’t want the whole world domination thing. We’d attract even more fuckin idiots. I wouldn’t want to follow a club where success is taken for granted either.

I would, because I wouldn't take it for granted. I don't think success can be taken for granted if you're a football fan. It can be if you're a Sky consumer type though.

Half my family are city fans. They’ve gone from being ordinary fans of an ordinary club to being self important entitled wankers in less than a decade.
