I, for one, would be delighted if we moved to the Barnesydome

Ah, Duncan Castles. A forgotten member of the know-nowt bald journalist collective.

Exactly. And if you can rinse clubs a level below you in the process, which we’ve been victim of many a time, even better.

Nowt wrong with selling for profit if you’re shrewd and know when to do it, for example shifting players who on their day are excellent and attract attention but also struggle to stay fit.

Just happened to have seen James Marwood’s coaching at Burra these days. Wonder if he’d end up moving if his old man became sporting director?

Trophy? It's clearly going to be a golden butter dish.

That’s some mighty fine pillow talk.

I know there’s not been a presser, and won’t until Friday, but I feel like this might’ve usually come from the Lord of the Lurpak himself, rather than the club:

Mate reckons that people carrier the club use to cart new signings about has been seen outside Benton Asda. Some fella was with a member of staff unloading cages of butter - Lurpak, Countrylife, Anchor, own brand, the lot (all the full salt variety) into it. Maybe it’s just ironing out the finer points of his compo?

Yasir al-Rumayyan’s hoping to fly over and attend Sunday’s game according to Downie.

How many deodorant can lids did you fill during your time away?

Absolute brain fart there

Hope to fuck the announcement is two sentences, tops. Namely: The club can announce that head coach (:lol:) Steve Bruce and assistants Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence have left the club. First team coach Graeme Carr will take on the role of head coach for the upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur and a further announcement will be made in due course. No thanking them or wishing them luck or owt

I wonder if whoever is coming in is currently employed, which is why this wasn’t immediate? Synchronise the announcement of Steve, Steve and Steve going and Jones having the Spurs game with one of their replacement(s) 24 hours later - but first ensure whatever compo is required is sorted?

Hopefully the last morning this clown will be enjoying a morning mug of molten Lurpak at the club’s expense.

Forgot to add, can we bin off the bollocks fan chanty pre-match Blaydon Races for the ‘proper’ Alan Price one?

Can we just send this dullard back to his Grand Designs project in Cheshire ASAP? I bet there’s ten tonne of wallpaper paste sat there that the grotesque urchin is set on eating.

Fans found more entertainment in throwing flyers for a processed meat snack onto the pitch than the game itself

We just need some depth in January. The squad, with proper coaching, should be good enough to stay up as it is. However when we’re missing key players - namely ASM, Willock and Wilson - we’re shot to shit. Players capable of replacing or complimenting them will suffice and see us through. Tied into that, it’s crucial we get a team in who are able to tailor fitness regimes to individuals so we stop suffering as many soft tissue injuries as we do currently. It’s something Benitez and co addressed and most likely isn’t difficult, it’s just we’ve currently got a setup from the 1970s.

Another vote for Conte here.

Wonder how short-term the SD arrangement is? End of the season?

What is this communication madness?

“Oh, wow, look at those televisions! What did you say they were? 18” Technika? The Technika? As in Tesco’s own brand stuff! Very impressive! And they get most of the Freeview channels? That’ll save us a few quid!”

Someone I know was one of them (he’s in the media team, he put a photo on Insta of fans outside). It must be quite liberating for them because as I understood it, they were quite restricted in what went out. Certain things, for example, had to be signed off by Charnley.

Honestly right now I just want to see SJP looking at its best. Get the SD signs down, fix the bogs, howk the rotten corpse of the pigeon out the netting, put actual fucking TVs in the concourses, take down the fuck-knows-how-old posters for Christmas parties, clean the taps and get Worthington’s or whatever piss they’re serving off and give the outside a bloody good hose down. And, find a suitable site and get the ball rolling for a proper PL training ground like Leicester. Build from the bottom up and for the long term.
