A beheading followed by a can, I reckon.

The passage of time without good news, and our own unmatched ability to repeatedly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? That passage of time being approximately what - 10 days?

An important point to note at this point is that nobody here knows what they’re talking about when it comes to anything factual about the deal. Sorry, the PUTATIVE deal.

Yes, they replied to Amnesty informing them about the bid. Is the word putative not the thing to take from that? Or by the very fact they replied a good thing? I'm not sure if that's confirmation or not? I'm lost! What is the matter with you all? “Putative” is just a posh twat word for prospective / potential / forthcoming. They cannot say “the Newcastle United takeover” because the takeover hasn’t happened. That, like every letter any big company sends for PR purposes, is drafted by a lawyer. The lawyer’s brief is to ensure that the FA won’t get bitten in the arse / sued. Therefore, the letter exercises caution, because this is a very expensive and complicated thing and there are very strict confidentiality etc rules all parties to it must follow. In all seriousness there must be something better for you available to do.

you know what word isn’t on this page yet? Cans

Naa, this thread is missing the Chronic Town EP (vinyl, original pressing) Own alrdy I've got that too Got all of them on LP up to and including Monster (which I can’t ever seem to get into). Hard to find anything subsequent on vinyl, not least for a sensible price. Would love a copy of Reveal. LFEE[/member] and I air guitaring to that plastered at his house about 3AM, really great times.

They're massive Tories. Funded some of Johnson's previous election campaigns etc. Genuinely upsets me more than the SA link I don't understand this reaction at all. It is OUR NHS that they are supporting, not their own political views. We currently have a Tory Government who are looking after our NHS, and I am supporting our government in that. Voters around the entire UK supported the election of this government a few months ago, but that is not why I am supporting the government. I am supporting them, be they Tories or whatever, because they are fighting for us, to keep us alive. I support them because I do not want to lose anyone else. I am a paid up member of the Labour Party, and there will come a time when that becomes relevant again, but NOT now. You’re a clot if you think this isn’t promoting their own political views by the way.

And also all this “our NHS” garbage. They’ve spent decades dismantling it in order to maintain and extend tax cuts and other favourable treatment for the wealthy. They’re about the worst group of leaders we could have hoped for in this situation.

It’s both fair and absolutely necessary to hold them to account. Talentless populist yes-twats and they’re being shown up for it, Handjob in particular. The chin on him to congratulate himself for the 100,000 tests.

Hancock is a Newcastle fan, signed shirt behind him when he Zooms from home. Urgh

Fuck knows how we’re getting New Adventures in Hi-Fi in here.

My faith in people has definitely dropped a level today.

Their best album. It's brilliant. Great album. Out Of Time for me though. Omminous Life's Rich Pageant on balance. I'm arguing with myself now because Green is amazing too Reckoning Today we need Automatic For The People Not a Reveal ? If so we need someone to Accelerate it I quite agree, nobody wants to Collapse Into Now I give Up!

Wait Santa's not real wuuuuuut

My brother is a sports journalist. Many sports journalists have targets and bonuses dependent on numbers of clicks on stories and visitors to website content. Like most 24-hour rolling news you consume, content is somewhere on a scale between barefaced lie and hyperbole.

You, sir, just shot up massively in my estimation. THEY’RE HAVING IT OFF

But can you sportswash a can to use a can again?

Sorry to be a preachy wanker, I should add

On what basis - firm, concrete basis - should it be done by now? Unless the rules have been made far stricter, I don’t get how Man City could be bought on an iou ?, money splashed out on Robinho and a statement of intent released before they’d even started the owners and directors test. With Newcastle, it always has to be fucking played out in the media and it almost always ends up with us looking like a bunch of twats when it ultimately ends badly. What you’re saying is you think this deal should be done quicker because the Manchester City one was completed quicker and the buyer went public earlier. You’ve got to realise this deal is a different deal so the comparative factor you’re using is useless. To me it looks like you’re just vocalising your nerves, but going and typing a message in public makes you feel like you’re doing something about (and can therefore control) your nerves. We’re all nervous and none of us have an iota of control or influence over this. I’m sorry to use you as an example but this is an archetypal example of how lies and misinformation are spread. Just repeating something else one hears elsewhere, or vocalising one’s fears in a way which comes across as a statement of fact, isn’t ultimately of any benefit to anybody. I really wish that more people could apply a bit of a thinking filter when they read or hear any information. The vast majority of information available to you is not objective fact, and it’s been that way your whole life. Being an adult involves acknowledging that and taking action accordingly, in my view.

Give him his chance.
