Freudian slip?

Oh, for those few minutes of anticipatory joy...

They both went in. Very casually, no doubt. Shameful...

Amanda is currently coating him in asses milk; Cleopatra style. It’s her right, apparently.

No way that line-up isn’t winning that match (74% possession and 12-2 shots for first half).

?

Harsh. Finger bite to you my friend.

Oh... pap. Premature egifulation.

Club Captain gets ‘jus primae noctis’. According to Micky Quinn. Or perhaps it is the other way around. “Have him washed and brought to my new office by half-time.” Ran off you say...

Took his fucking time...

Think I’ll try that again... Over half an hour and just crept onto page 3. Not much happening?

Nearly half an hour and still on page 1. Not much happening?

Rafa in total control of selection and always has been.

Can’t stomach the fucker, personally.

I think we will play well today. 3 or 4-1. HTL!

Only speculation about an announcement today and they’d be mad to announce it at a match! Pretty confident things are moving though.

Apparently, according to .cock.

Pantalaimons!! A call to arms mass full time pitch invasion like our pine martin kin: “Liberty or death!”

Tune into for our own version of this later folks.

So important to have staff with good ‘people skills’ in academies. Probably more important than their technical nous. Certainly more important than how good they were themselves at Football. Guess the ideal is very strong on all three criteria, though the last one is mainly for credibility reasons.

? Yeah, imagine being a long way from home, facing a gruelling hyper-competitive training regime. Dealing with the huge uncertainty about your future, whilst carrying the expectations of your family, and every wanna-be who half knows you, on your shoulders. Having to smile through the supportive or jealous comments from everybody who expects you’re leading some kind of rich and famous lifestyle. When in reality the man with the most power to determine your future, whose power is enhanced further by his status as a club legend, is treating you in a way which makes you feel like shite. Is turning the game you have loved, the only thing you’ve ever been good at, into something you can’t face playing anymore. Perhaps to the point where you can’t see a future, of any kind, for yourself anymore. Don’t see the humour myself.

Yes, I like Rob Lee and keen to hear his lads speak. Wonder what their accents are like? From the snippet I heard last night, not at all Geordie's and didn't even realise their Dad played for Newcastle The eldest one, from memory, would have been 8 when his dad went to Derby. You would think he would remember and unless he went to some posh-boy Durham school may have even retained an accent.

In search of something new, I came across this Financial Times article for the first time (published 25 November). It had a more objective feel than most of the words on this topic and casts doubt on whether the deal could be done before the end of the transfer window. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/24e3ce3c-d119-11e7-b781-794ce08b24dc
