All fair enough - he was an obvious yes-man who only got the job due to drinking in the same casino as Ashley. But I still dislike Bruce, Allardyce and Souness a lot more. Difference between shit and shite, mind you

I have no problem at all with Trafford but for me getting a GK is not a top priority, not as much as getting a new RW and a good quality right footed CB to rotate with Schar, or even a back up striker for Isak. but trust the club has an eye out for these as well.

Meanwhile Chelsea swoop in and buy the Arena site, then sell it back to themselves.

Yep, reckon we might Get: 10 M Longstaff 15M Willock 10M Vlach 5M Targett Replace with a 40M midfielder

Its the length of time we had to suffer pardew that puts him at the top of my list. twice as long as Bruce! 🤮

He's right at the top for me, though partially a victim of circumstance. I still had misguided hope at the time he was manager. The day he left felt like things could turn and then somewhere during Carver/McClaren it became clear to me how pointless it all was. I barely enjoyed Rafa and didn't really care at all during Bruce -- there was only one real villain at that point. I hate that there are good memories attached to Pardew -- Tiote and the 4-4, Ba/Cisse/Ben Arfa, and my first time at SJP.

Kelly’s already gone and sits in this season’s accounts and in terms of the rest, the goalkeepers fees would be divided by ten (and even then I’m not sure we’d get £500k for Dubravka). No-one is paying £25m for Willock these days, and Longstaff has a year left on his contract.

Apparently a proper baller, that lad.

He’s not close to Souness, Allardyce, JFK or Bruce for me. I also find McClaren more dislikable

Would be a cracking signing for me. A GK is an obvious need, despite us being able to fill a five-a-side plus subs with keepers at the moment - Pope is a good PL keeper with flaws, Dubravka had a good spell last season but is getting on and isn’t the equal of Pope.

It is some achievement that Pardew isnt my most hated manager of my lifetime like, it's a testament to Bruce really, takes some next level twatishness to beat Pardew, and here we are

Apart from accidentally cutting my cock off with a pair of rusty secateurs & inadvertently shooting myself in the head with a BB gun, this was undoubtedly the worst day of my miserable existence

That’s right, it was - forgot about the fanzine! Never heard them sing it, but it’s fair to say it must’ve been around a while for that. Seems apt that their ‘anthem’ is something that only winos sing.

I'm only going so I can see Simeone.

Hmm, can imagine a few not being happy with that, especially after selling them first. The prospect of a near enough first team, or everyone in the squad would have been a decent factor. I don't mind, but I'm going with my brother and one of the first thing he said was at least it won't be split teams this time. He doesn't actually support Newcastle mind.

Mate he made me hate football, I'd been obsessed since I was about 4.

Ahh shit, I knew I'd chosen the wrong gif.

Rafa leaving broke me. There was no point. It was all hate until the takeover.

Didn't realise you liked Minteh mate.

You're punctuation is terrible

Only 18 months older than Miley or so. Gittens is showing some signs of elite ability but also way off it in major ways. It's a gamble. Minteh compares favourably to a lot of these players in some key ways. Such a shame.

I've heard them sing it, not so much a big in a ground thing but in pubs etc. Their old fanzine was called that because of that. Not surprisingly they would also sing Rolf Harris's "Two little boys".

Theyve probably made an accidental error after a few drink's

It was 30 years for me and the wife and when Bruce came we left the building.
