1964

At what point will they have to win every game to match our points total of last season, you know in that pub league that they would walk with their squad.

Personally, I have no problems with him doing this as like you say, he's from a staunchly Republican family and area. For such a man of principles though, he seems to have no problems paying (quite a lot of) tax to HMRC, knowing fine well that a lot of it is going directly to the British Army......that's where I find him to be an absolute hypocrite. Strange thing to say given that not doing so isn’t an option

The general hatred of Maclean is a bit daft given that those who gave their lives did so to fight fascism and allow freedom of speech. He grew up in a fiercely republican area where the wearing of a poppy would likely get you, at the very least, beaten up so are we seriously expecting him to wear one? He still has family and friends back home and I’m sure their lives would be uncomfortable if he did.

A Joselu brace? Doubt it, he runs like he’s got one on his leg

Can anyone be a wum? What does it take, is it just a desire to appear important a vivid imagination and no mates? Or is there more

Nah it’s going to be a Nigel Farage / Paul Nuttall double act

We can do one then the other. Why choose? And best in that order as you want him alive for the second one. I can't fathom why people do this speculation nonsense, if you know something say it or if you don't or can't shut the fuck up. This dancing round with the t!t tassles is a bit boring

Certainly not, I can imagine certain press publication's turning it into a big thing though. Ready To Go Mental should make for an interesting read. Child groomer harbourers attacking nation states for their human rights record would be like King Herod complaining about Child Tax Credits

Meant to add a ? otherwise I look a right smartarse twat

And don’t forget HMRC they will have a big say as well, probably more than HRMC

Agreed his inner dialogue on whether his heart is marrowfat or garden will determine what time he comes off

Nah, all veneer and no filling

Aye that's the one, the bloke has a PhD in football finance, in fact I think they said he is the only one. Dr Moneyball

Apologies if already mentioned but the James Richardson Podcast had a football finance expert, who advises potential buyers, giving his view on the current market. He was asked who he would advise any potential buyer to invest in and he said without doubt Newcastle United, fanbase, facilities, growth potential puts us at the top of the list

27 year old Drinkwater for £35m compared to 21 year old Merino for £6.5m is a perfect case in point. Proven vs unproven, low-risk vs high risk. Won't work nearly as often as it doesn't. I've tried and tried to understand that but have given up :lol:

They are advertising 'Kids for a quid' Saturday. Given their recent history whoever came up with that as a strapline needs to give their head a shake

I'm just ignoring it until it's done or goes away. Working well so far! Put it this way I doubt there is going to be anything of substance for a good few weeks yet. Mountains of media speculation to tantalise our clicking fingers but shag all concrete

Aye you know what he's like, he'll put on the red light

What's going on on the back of his head bottom right? It's safc Total Recall and that's the mackem Kuato... "Open yer mi-yund marra" Only just noticed they have succumbed to the back-shirt sponsor dollar...what a shithouse club they are now! It’s a multi cd changer

He has a philosophy and a way of playing. Those nobheads down the road bleating on about how he took us down are either in denial or just too thick to get it. Some managers get an instant reaction due to their motivational style but fail medium/long term because they don’t have the tactical nous. Di Canio being a prime example. World class managers take much more time to instill a system and belief into the club that permeates throughout and lasts. Benitez being a prime example

Aye, the priority should be Demba Ba and Loic Remy. Townsend ffs. And that Norwegian guy we’ve monitored since he was a foetus

Your name is in everyone’s bin you bellend

Aye, since that's the whole reason he's selling. I’m in two minds as to how this will go. The hard faced business man will not budge from his valuation because he is a cunt and that’s what he does. On the other hand if he refuses to give the club a chance at the big time with big money backers the backlash will be unreal.

If talks are going well then they can't be too far apart on the fee, as she said on her video it is the fundamental question when taking over a company. Here's hoping anyway

Why is Troy Deeney kissing our hoop? In the hope that any financial windfall will be spent on him?
