You realise that you will extremely offend him? Yeah I’d miss the Pitcher out to be safe Maybe take him up pink lane

First game was when I was 7. Dad took me 31/3/83 2-0 v Swansea. Wharton and Beardsley scored

Bruce not being a puppet replaced that attack with a £40M striker, and unlike Rafa plays nothing but attacking football. Surely the results should be better then? Buying someone for 40m doesn't always equal success, no matter who the manager is. Look at Klopp and Guardiola. They've spent hundreds of billions on flops over the last few years, especially Guardiola. Reckon Bruce would have done even better with Rondon/Perez up front. Should’ve been in charge of expanding the metro instead

Spot on Luddy. Not sure where people think the good defence came from

The stories from last Thursday were that the piracy was the issue. So assuming that there are not new issues it will boil down to whether the premier league can prove that the owners were involved in this. Given a French court said they were not I guess that will be hard to prove. The takes as long as it takes line makes me far less confident we’ll hear anything this week. Hopefully this is not just delaying tactics. They weren't convicted of direct involvement but the French court agreed that beoutQ was using Arabsat satellites, which could be an issue. They may just want assurances this won't persist or they'll do more to stop it. it's already been shut down and has been for some time The premier league check is whether the owner has been involved in criminal activity. I cannot see how the conversation could be along the lines of ensuring that something does not happen again. As soon as there is anything along these lines it implies that they were involved or have that influence to change it. I’d imagine the conversation is exclusively regarding proof that the actual owners and directors were involved. As some have pointed out previously, it more likely the PL are leveraging this to get the Saudis onboard for the the next TV rights package. There'll not be as much money floating around and the Saudis provide a good source of ready cash and a relatively untapped market. The PL isn't going to cut of it's nose to spite it's face. Wouldn't be surprised if what was actually happening was the basics of the TV deal being thrashed out which is taking the time. The Qataris don't hold much sway other than the TV deal they have. They bought the wrong club in the wrong league. Quite possibly. This way no one has to admit that they have any links to the piracy. It does sound almost like blackmail mind! Either the premier league can prove some thing and it should be blocked or they can’t and holding a threat of this to secure a potential billion pound contract would look corrupt as fuck. It's not blackmail it's just standard negotiating. If the Qataris throw their toys out of the plan the PL would want someone to plug the gap.

Someone probably ratted her out. If that was on purpose it deserves recognition

Peacock retweeting as well man. Next couple of years then football lost contact with the fans when Keegan left for me. Pretty sure you needed a Millwall away ticket stub to get a Grimsby away one. Bit different from the Anglo-Italian cup game where you could sit down with cod and chips in the away end

That Robert free kick

Just about my favourite away day. Definitely best league away day. It was a good day but the Leicester fans soured it with some of the shit that went on. My account of it.... https://www.newcastle-online.org/forum/index.php?topic=65836.msg2075980#msg2075980 Slightly more eventful than mine. I was 16 at the time, was a bit scared. I remember a few people losing sight after the sharpened coins the were throwing hit them. Also remember leaving and them looking for Newcastle, seen a lad fucked up, put in an ambulance then dragged back out again. Fucking animals It was always a bit lively round Filbert Street. Even worse if you just headed for floodlights as you often ended up at the Rugby ground and that left you pretty isolated. It wasn’t that, I just remember it being a nightmare.

Just came into post that. My favourite player back then and he’s just liked my tweet

I hope they're showing the one where we all made paper aeroplanes out of the flyers that were left on the seats. Can't remember the season, the manager, the opposition or anything, but I remember the aeroplanes drifting over my head in the Gallowgate Crystal Palace, either under Souness or Allardyce. Toon toon Pepperami. Souness. One from the Leazes made it into the centre circle, biggest cheer of the game

Eh?!
