Almost as if the fat headed fool has no Idea of tactics. Instant punishment for stupid substitution.

Err why not? Runs like a headless chicken, no goals, diver and looks like the crazy frog, what's to like? Well I'll be the first to say it. Fuck off.

He doesn’t have one tbf. Couldn't bend wire that shape tbf.

Looks like a near sell-out

This is the truth. Football is the best game in the world, because good sport from the spectator's point of view, is all about tension and release.

Who knows? Lads are on here suggesting possible teams and formations, whilst Steve Bruce is trying to decide what sauce to have on his kebab.

" no one ever said VAR was going to be perfect..." So why are we bothering with it then?

Yeah I thought that as well, might as well have said "fuck you, we'll do what we want" at the end.

We used to sing it tbf, as did supporters of most clubs in the '70s.

Those three staying is actually a real bonus and a genuine surprise tbh. The squad still needs trimming down to 25. I can see one of Schar or Lejeune being sold abroad. Dubravka too, possibly.

Exactly, it's just a phrase that some people take too literally. Exactly, it's just a phrase that some people take too literally. Don't agree. It's a phrase some people seem to want to use which is completely incorrect. It is nothing like the so called "pay as you play" when you are getting paid when you are not playing and getting bonuses. Just silly Football manager used words that never really happen in the real world. I've brought this subject up twice recently and I've still never seen any evidence that such a deal exists or has indeed ever existed.

Yep, overheard two makems at work repeating it to each other and pissing themselves laughing. It's their new "horse-punchers" apparently.

Dubravka's replacement? Let's face it, all Jones does is throw himself at the ball, might as well give him a pair of gloves and make it official

That's the first time I've ever seen it in direct quotes and even then Pulis says it's "effectively" pay as you play, so I'm still dubious.

Here we go again with the mythical "pay as you play deal" - has anyone got any credible source that shows such a deal has ever existed?

I think I might know who he is, from toontastic..... Who? My guess would've been Christmas Tree - nonce taxi driver who revels in being the "contrarian" and claims he doesn't support Ashley while defending every major decision. Although he has been too much of a coward to actually post in the football part of the site the past couple of years and sticks to polluting the general topic threads. Ha ha! Is that daft fucker still on there, haven't looked at TT in years? I went to school with him btw and he wasn't the sharpest tool then, guess nothings changed.

Just out of interest, has there ever been a player confirmed to have accepted a "pay as you play" deal? You hear them mentioned all the time, but I'm not sure they exist; I reckon the players agents wouldn't entertain them.

Forster Dummett S.Taylor ? Tavernier Colback ? Sammy Ameobi ? ? Carroll Longstaff?

Just switched this on, because I haven't got a life and literally the first thing I saw was Colback fouling someone. Shoot me now.

I've thought that for a number of years. It's a seriously interesting point. The Jarrow march? Where did all the bottle go? My grandfather worked down the mines. My great uncles fought and died in the great war. It seems we're a group of 'Geordie Shore' babes and impotent men. Or am I being cruel?? No, you're quite right. But to be honest, the vast majority of people in this country have always bent over and took what ever the ruling class decide to shaft them with; that's why we've never had a revolution. The Jarrow March, Glasgow and Liverpool (and some other areas, but not many) are exceptions.

Not if it's anything like your username.

Shouldve gone ahead with SJH plan from years ago ... Yep. Should’ve forced it through despite some of the protests which were ill informed. The end result would’ve been more green belt land. Absolutely this. I think the wrong decision was made once the plans were turned down, mind. The club should have put the ground expansion on the back-burner and ploughed all their resources into strengthening the team. I'm convinced we would have won trophies with that mindset, creating greater funds which could have then been spent on moving over the road to the site of the Brewery which was closed around this time.

Cewkie. Leave him out of this, he's got six kids ffs

Henderson joining a veritable shithousery of cunts there - Emlyn Hughes, Phil Thompson, Graeme Souness and Steven Gerrard.

If that's not a handball then every game we'll have people looking to sneakily block crosses by sticking their hands out and pointing. "Ref, I was pointing to the blonde big titted lass in the crowd, zero intention to block the cross I promise". The blonde big titted lass was the best thing about that first half.
