Yeah I’m from the side of Durham that’s closer to Newcastle than Durham or Sunderland and at school it was about 60/40 us and them. Fucking hate them like. Never gonna pretend I am not loving the idea of eradicating mackem culture in my surrounding environs.

I can never get over actual real life premier league footballers doing the same training drills I did as a bairn 25 years ago.

Give Toney a year and see how he gets on I say

He is and always has been a grade a gobshite. Thinks he’s plugged into the business side of football because he owned a diddy club for five minutes. Doesn’t have a clue, the man can fit more bullshit buzzwords into a sentence than any middle manager in any call centre in England.

Good cos I’d rather be chatting with a mackem about how we’re responsible for 9/11 than have a discussion reserved for bald dads on Facebook

ASM straight in there like a rat up a drain pipe

They’re on about partnering with amnesty international, which is probably a great idea given the political situation in the favelas of seaham

Probably want the rest of the week to hire somebody before sacking him. He has to go and will but I don’t see much point in appointing a potter or lampard for six months in a relegation fight when we could wait a month and get what we want.

I don’t care if it’s pure. Nothing in life is pure and you’re fooling yourself if you think it is. As for the salary cap talk, typical diddy club internet waffle. This is a fairytale. Cinderella didn’t lead a revolution and usurp a throne, she married a prince.

Oh they’re definitely intermating

He plays a useful position, basically a carrier in a front four. Good with tight little passes, can score from distance, isn’t a winger, isn’t a forward.

Lingard and martial would be decent. Donny I thought very highly of at Ajax, he was the goal threat from midfield but man United don’t play with that sort of midfielder so should never have bought him in the first place. Bailly is broken and can barely get 5 games under his belt without dying.

No. Just no.

Your dad would think you’re shit too mate

I need more news. Feels like I’m coming off four days of mainlining heroin every 20 minutes.

Tielemens would be PERFECT

People are trying to rationalise it, which is fine and expected. But there is nothing to rationalise. No equivalence. It is beyond good and evil. It is what it is. When the time comes we can decide to voice opposition. Dissecting it into ideologies, cod forum world history, semantics and pouring over every detail from a moralist lens ends in one place only: we shouldn’t take their money. I fully accept that this is wrong on many levels, I’m just saying, I’m going to get my hands dirty but avoid defending Saudi Arabia.

Conte feels like a moon shot but if you’re stavely and co today, and you know he’s gettable, do what it takes I think. Conte could conceivably take us every step of the journey. They have it within their gift to furnish him with what he needs to get there. He gets to do something he’s never done and build a shit team into dominators. He has clout with the class of player we need.

We are dancing with the devil. Make peace with it.

I’ve read some shite in my life but actual humans begging for Ashley

He can gan get unlinked

It’s an unwinnable argument as well, because the fact is they are the worst of the worst. It is impossible to actually convince someone with words on the internet that they are not horrible in the worst way possible. But that doesn’t mean you have to performatively self flagellate for bitter plastics on Reddit either. Step 1, don’t get sucked into parading about as Saudi super fans. Step 2, win everything and sign everyone and enjoy it.
