Stop grooming the forum elders, please.

I'd have taken the points deduction. Who needs the CL and a Cup this season when we could've prepared ourselves to.. maybe get the CL and a Cup next season?

I feel like if we do have stripes on the back people will just complain that they're not perfectly aligned with the ones on the front or something. Until we see the kit on the players and as ever, 'one of our worst kits in years' becomes 'eh, that's alright'.

He did write about that. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/ange-postecoglou-tottenham-legacy-europa-league-final-man-utd-b1228662.html Then bitched out in the press conference with a much more wooly version. The media have done their usual building up to knock him down. Turn him in to a media darling on arrival, the usual 'breath of fresh air' bollocks and now they're skewering him at every opportunity. He sticks his foot in it enough as it is but it does feel like they've become absolute pricks to him knowing they'll get a rise.

Such a relief to get his £200k a week off our wage bill.

Obviously being local it shouldn't seem as far fetched as it feels, but why has he befriended multiple Gateshead players? Especially to the point of them being comfortable to pull a prank like this.

It's times like this that I wish there was a way that our rivals could both drop points when they face each other.

Lifetime ban for nicking twelve quid of food is hilarious tbf.

As long as he doesn't have to do a PEDs test. The engine on him is unbelievable. What a player. Could easily call him for MOTM most matches.

If another club's fan has read/listened to what our fan base have to say about him and still think he'd be good for them then more power to them. His methods won't be any better suited to a Championship team than they were to us in the PL. The plastering of his company's ads for free, cutting of costs, lack of infrastructure investment will just have them fall behind their Championship contemporaries like he made us fall behind ours. Anyone that wants their club run as a 'business' by a 'businessman' who couldn't increase our commercial revenue in an era where every single club's income skyrocketed from just sitting on their hands, is more than welcome to the soulless bastard.

So happy I don't like the look of any of this new stuff after what I spent on the retro stuff.

Got to love the 'from a football perspective' caveat.

I actually cast an eye over our seasons the other day and I guess it depends on the context. Not really easy to compare the state of play now versus 70+ years ago. Purely looking at the end result, when we won the league in 1905 we were also FA Cup runners up. Our 1910 and 1951 FA Cup successes each coincided with a 4th place finish, too. So even discounting any context such as the FFP/PSR restrictions trying to intentially hold us down, it's sure as hell up there. Says it all that you need to go that far back for anything comparable, though.

Just discovered Gibraltar's awesomely-named FC Bruno's Magpies are merging and becoming Calpe City Magpies. How shite. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F.C._Bruno's_Magpies

Not sure of the exact tiers but I believe all rollernonces are meganonces but not all meganonces are rollernonces. Hope that helps.
