  1. I think I remember reading somewhere (can't remember where) that it was an leak from earlier this year she was having to pay for/has already paid.

    St James' Park

    I couldn't be more against moving the ground, like. It's absolutely perfectly located in its current setting. The cathedral on the hill. Hopefully the planned development opposite the Gallowgate is quashed before it gets too far along.

    St James' Park

    I almost welled up on my run this morning as SJP came into view from the Walker riverside walk. It's fucking majestic and I can't wait for it to get the care and attention it deserves.
  4. One of the most annoying things to come out of all this is journalists using the "you think Ashley was reprehensible, this lot are on a whole other level!" argument. The hatred for Ashley stems from the absolutely shameful way he, often deliberately, mismanaged the club, not his other misdemeanours. Had he approached things in the correct way there would never have been calls for his head (pardon the pun), regardless of how disgraceful the conditions were for workers in his tat warehouses. We all know that. My overall take on this is that we as fans should enjoy the ride we look set to go on, whilst refraining from fawning over the Saudi royal family as our wonderful saviours. We form the bottom rung on this fucked-up ladder and there's very little that we can do that would affect matters. Be mindful of where the investment is coming from by all means, and don't fly the Saudi flag in your social media names like some weird obsessive teenagers, but don't feel guilty for supporting your club. We've waited a very long time for this.

    How many extra seats would that even give?

    On this day...

    What a breakaway for the second goal.
  7. It's fucking happening isn't it? It's finally fucking happening.
  8. This is it, like. It's always been so fucking simple but Ashley knew best/dug his heels in/made error after error.
  9. I'm in total denial, like. We've been held captive for too long and seen too many false dawns.
  10. Was that the one that had a reply from a guy outlining what he believed the 'loan' was all about? Seemed very plauisble and sensible. This bit?
  11. I think it means he's making it up as he goes along. Sources close to the deal = he's just caught up on your earlier posts in here.
  12. Rather they put on the 5-1 or something instead. The FA streamed the 5-1 the other day.

    Kevin Keegan

    Started reading Touching Distance this afternoon. Wish they'd give Keegan's toon story the Maradona documentary treatment, like.
  14. Feared the worst when we signed him, he sounded like the OG king. He ended up being a really strong preformer in the Championship and the threat he provides in the opposition penalty area is an added bonus. He's not good enough to be relied upon week-in, week-out in the PL, but as a back-up option he's sound. Overall, a much better player than I was expecting.
  15. After the absolute dross we had to endure in nets he was a breath of fresh air. Probably the best commander of the NUFC penalty area I can remember in my lifetime. He's also a tremendous shot-stopper (most of the time) and I usually feel confident when he has the ball at his feet, which is a quality I'm unaccustomed to in our keepers. He seems to be a supremely likeable bloke and it's a real shame we won't get to see him in a NUFC side that is genuinely looking to progress. It's between him and Given for my in-my-lifetime number one.
