After the interview with Lascelles it wouldn't surprise me if they're another one bashing the Bishop as well.

His work-rate might have been but he never gets his head up and tries to do it all himself.

You can't blame him like, the bloke was an arsehole.

Phil Neville can wind his neck in like.

What a great night that was, the standing ovation at the start was something else.

Bravo man.

"As a fan base we must continue to support Keegan and show those who doubt him and continue to defame him that we will never forgot what he did for Newcastle United and what he still represents." Don't we just.

My mate won a competition to be in the first team's official photo at the training ground this morning. Said Rafa had a 5 minute chat with him in the middle of the training pitch and stopped everything for him. No surprise but what a gentleman he is man, we're so lucky to have him.

That's totally the same like.

Ramos aye but it just seems like you despise Real Madrid.. Carvajal seems like such a nice lad too. In comparison to who Spain usually play at FB anyway. Carvajal is horrible man, he's in a similar mould to Busquets.

Worth bothering with? It's alright, nothing ground breaking. 22:15 What did Matt Dickinson say? He's always been one behind the whole Ashley knows best mantra and likes to belittle us where he can.

Why can't you comprehend it? We've had no one since him who's been anywhere near as good or exciting and for a lot of us he's been the best NUFC player to watch in at least the last decade. Players like that stay with you, I still bang on about Beardsley, Ginola, Asprilla etc and older fans still bang on about Tony Green who played 33 matches for us 45 years ago . The only difference between Ben Arfa and those players is they were here during better eras, with better players around them. This. And you know I like the bloke and enjoy watching him play. You can’t possibly have watched our players today and still wonder why people are bothered about HBA I thought he was signing for Dortmund?

According to KK himself, he hasn't been banned. He just doesn't feel that he would be welcome. Whatever the rights and wrongs, when you try to sue someone for £25m, they're not exactly going to roll out the red carpet afterwards. The Modric transfer is a bit of a mystery. I can remember that after the deal went through and rumours of KK's unhappiness surfaced, Chris Mort actually wrote in the following match programme that we had actually outbid Spurs in terms of salary and transfer fee, but Modric opted for Spurs regardless. The same regime that constantly lies to its supporters, yes?

Not sure how you can say the Ronaldo at Barca/Inter wasn't a complete player like.

Just read this again. https://thesefootballtimes.co/2018/09/18/the-heartbreak-of-ronaldo-at-internazionale/ You're still the one. [emoji7]

Just put that Boca Junior documentary on Netflix. First bit is Tevez talking about how much he loves Boca and putting the shirt on means more than anything to him. Until somebody offers him more money that is...

Dear me.

He certainly has. Keegan was just beginning to get the best out of him as well I recall until Ashley sold him to pave the way for Sebastian Schweinsteigers arrival. I remember Keegan playing him in central midfield in that pre season too.

This post was brought to you by the PFM society.

I've been tempted to do that but Liverpool are now playing Southampton at home next weekend so might keep him in.

Just mentioned in quite a bit of detail by the commentary team.

Lamela you bellend.

Thing is who does he think he's going to poach customers from? The same people who go to these stores aren't the same as sports direct. Treat them the same and like NUFC, you'll just wreck them. People shop online or stick with market leaders like John Lewis or Robert Dyas where they don't get taken for mugs. I appreciate the high st in general is on it's arse - JLP included. The highstreet isn’t on it’s arse, the high street in it’s current incarnation is. John Lewis would work so well if they just updated their stores a bit and made it easier to navigate. The same for Fenwicks. Retailers just haven’t moved on and made it so the internet compliments their stores and have just let Amazon overtake them. It’s massively on its arse - John Lewis are the market leaders and just announced 99% drops in pre tax profit and they are quite strong in terms of both online and store experience imo. They also have a very loyal customer base and they’ve lost out because they have a generous price match scheme. They’ll recover and they won’t lose out to some bastardised vest is in of Debenhams/hoF however. The white city JL is prototyping a store experience a bit like going into a cocktail bar for diffferent products to enhance store experience with hopes of rolling out further. Fuck will mike be up for that. And that is basically them throwing the dice. I think in a decades time the likes of JL will exist mainly online with with one or two flagship stores. The trouble with big businesses is that they try and scale and scale upwards all the time and when that doesn’t happen or cannot it’s a case of oh well, game over. JL can remain a business, a brand and make money, but they will more than likely have to scale back to a few stores, a website being their predominant face of the business and shareholders happy with a stake in something that turns over tens of millions or hundreds of millions and not lots of hundreds and hundreds or billions. I’m not for job losses and empty shops or dead high streets as such, but I’m all for our high streets and city centres becoming places of leisure and not predominantly shopping. More open spaces and green space, less traffic, more independent stores and local businesses who don’t need to have x amount of people through the door every day to survive or have been outpriced on rent and rates or made redundant by big name chains. More local produce on offer, more pop up independent pubs and food stalls. Market traders and just people coming to the city to walk around, take in the architecture. Museums, library, sit and read a book, let kids run around. I avoid the Town and Metro Centre at all times and often at a financial cost because I cannot stand it, herded like sheep into this shop or the next. The noise, the traffic, the congestion, the pollution, the chaos. Fuck it, bring on the death of the high street, they’ve had it good for too long and often at the expense of city/town planning, architecture and our own free space to just wander and take in things. Really like these sentiments.

Lingard hasn't offered anything again.
