Theregulars

Not sure I agree with that. They had a mediocre season by their standards and haven’t improved the squad. We have quite obvious momentum and upward trajectory and look a good bet to be at least a consistently decent team and push for European football on the regular in the not distant future. No idea if this stuff factors in but I’d certainly rather be hero worshipped at SJP instead of fanned by inflatable clappers at the walkers bowl

Oh do you not like Almiron?

No, not seriously. In joke at Neesy.

Here man fuck off - why are you calling for people to go to prison?

Thank you. I was brought up by a good woman.

Spanish, German, History, English Lit, Music. Anything else?

Ah, ok. Thanks for explaining.

Were you a moron at school?

Because he’s sexist?

Cool - enjoy being on the side of sexism

@Yorkieplease bring the ban hammer on this most outstanding of idiots.

Yesterday you complained that women’s football took up time on tv instead of lower league matches you wanted to watch. For you to celebrate less than 24 hours later is fraudulence on a Steve Bruce level. Shame on you.

You’re a shameless charlatan.

Just one really fucking purely nice thing to happen at such a godawful time for this country. Everyone who has actually followed this for more than a few weeks must be over the moon, because I’ve been watching only this tournament and I’m ecstatic. This is what the country can be when we try - progressive, determined, joyful, talented and silly. They’re sporting heroes for their lives and they deserve all the happiness it brings.

@WillingtonMagmust hate having this shit shoved down his throat

I really can’t emphasise how grim I find your opinions sometimes. Whoever “they” are, nobody is forcing anything on to you - you can literally just not watch it by choosing to do literally anything else when it’s on. Before the match today I had conversations with every person I was with about the final, and every person I spoke to (10-15 people, I’d guess) all said they are watching the final and all were looking forward to it. It’s a positive thing for gender equality, it’s a positive thing for the country at a time when it’s not in a good state and it’s a positive thing for sport. Worrying

Because inclusivity is preferable to segregation? Plenty of lower league teams in the region, you could just buy a ticket to go and watch them. Alternately, you could take the approach that men’s football has dominated televised sports for literally decades and that trying something new isn’t a bad thing because, you know, progress.

Indeed, a proper chortle fest

Great post

Athletic saying same thing

Literally means head lawyer in an organisation

I’m up there next week visiting @LFEEso I’ll have to make sure he’s on pitchfork watch with me.

Honestly man it's not healthy to have your emotional state this affected by transfer activity, or even sport in general. I am not in Newcastle but every Newcastle fan I know personally isn't worried in the slightest. They're all looking forward to a season where relegation is extremely unlikely and where we have a decent, competitive squad; a great manager and owners who have shown commitment and nouse in the transfer market and running the club. They're all excited about who else will sign and understand that this isn't like a toy shop where you can walk in and buy whatever shiny shit is on offer. Tinderbox ffs.

“The panic” - you mean “my panic”.

I’m not really bothered about perceived value for money, as long as player is decent
