Sorry like, but no issue with Durham. Especially considering Blaydon (of the Geordie Ridley song "Blaydon Races") was at one time within County Durham boundaries. Plus Durham is pretty classy, so should be aligned with us.

or they saw it on The Simpsons or South Park or something.

Happily. It saves me from delving into the depths of that cesspit. It's even worse than local newspaper facebook pages so they *cough* provide a service.

Between the two main chronicle journos, is one of them more senior than the other? I have it in my head that Douglas is Ryder's boss. Is this correct?

For my pleasure?

What? What did I say? I feel like the claxon has gone off on QI. EDIT: Just saw your next response. Still worried

I thought it was about time I broke my making a thread virginity and this is something I've been wondering about. I did check the search box and couldn't find a topic on this so here goes (will be gutted if this is a giggs like): We often come across, or even use the term ourselves, "he's not the same type of player" when comparing two players who occupy the same position. For example, you could say that Rondon is not the same type of player as Gayle even though they are both centre forwards. We all pretty much know what is meant by this as they both have different attributes that mean they play that position differently. So, my question is this; using players who play in the same position as each other (and preferably comparing players from the same era of football when possible), who would you say are players who are similar enough to say they are the same type of player as each other?

Well fuck

Why wait until the season has began? No talks or offers before this season started? Nah, still total nonsense, it all just conveniently came out before the transfer window. Again, I do not doubt the messengers nor their integrity but it's not happening. I had faith in Staveley, I didn't even entertain this Peter Cushing bid with no money or investors. We will be mathematically safe and all you'll get is more lies from Ashley about reinvesting all the money the club makes.

Cock and ball torture?

Do you think that's where the money has gone? Charnley has spent it all on player packs in the hope he gets one of those 0.00001% of getting a proper worldbeater? *I really don't know much about FIFA, but I'm aware of the news that Belgium is cracking down on EA's lootbox gambling mechanic.

For those of us who don't know, is 75 good/bad/average? Obviously it's not superstar levels.

So, seeing how it's us and nothing ever goes to plan; who do you think he will sign for when this move doesn't materialise?

This bet...just so there's less grey areas, I assume it's if Rafa signs with Ashley staying as owner for the foreseeable? If for example a new owner came in who wanted to run a football club at the end of the season and Rafa signed that would invalidate the bet? It's just under Ashley's ownership in essence?

I just saw a chron post on FB about this patisserie Valerie thing. I thought to myself "how many times will I see a comment about it sounding like a French footballer?". I got to four before I gave up. Some of the comments not that far apart either. How very RTG.

Was their dad Graham?

Some people are hired for a certain amount of time. Proper specialist programmers for example. In entertainment folks might be hired for X amount of shows. Normally in retail, customer service etc there is no end date as such once hired.

I know it will mean nothing,but when I look at Luke Edwards, George caulkins and mark Douglas's twitters on the app it gives me a suggestion of 3 people to follow. The usual culprits like Ryder and the chronicle are there but there's now at least one Arabic suggestion (different on each one). Now I realize its going to be nothing but...middle eastern takeover coming?

Couldn't stand that dreary intro like. Skipped it every time after the first episode.

What's with this "talks" nonsense? If some knacker goes into shit direct to buy a sondico football, do they spend weeks in talks over the price? Yes, I realize I'm simplifying but still. Still feel there was hope with Stavely but this one has felt nonsensical since the start. And I type that with all the respect in the world to the folks on here who post what they've heard or provide their expertise. Those posters provide a glimmer of possibility even when every fibre of my being screams that this takeover is bullshit.

Only thing I've seen is a tweet reply from (I think) Chris Holt saying its from the Ashley camp. It had a picture attached.

Thought we'd give that Netflix show a try that the Mrs has christened "making of a mackem". My particular highlight was the fan masturbating his lamp for luck.

Everyone involved either needs to shit or get off the pot. Prefer the drudgery of no sale than drudgery with the dirty fake light of hope they keep dangling at the end of a cess filled tunnel.

Luke Edwards was championing Steve Bruce for the position, albeit in a caretaker role.
