Reassuring.

Late window new signings, pah! Ungrateful ill-bred vandals, to the man. Best off without!

Unfortunate hair can turn a good man bad...

Left back...

What is the point of NUFC? At one level like TV or other distracting/engaging leisure activities it gives people something to do. Something to invest in emotionally. Something, along with family, other relationships and career pursuits etc. on which to hang a sense of meaning and purpose which we all need in our lives. The extent to which 'competing/winning' or even being in the fight/race matters probably differs depending upon how important such things are to each individual. For me NUFC is a part of my identity. I stopped being an active supporter when the regime acted in the way they did with Keegan; a personal hero who epitomised everything good about the club to me. He had that meaning to me because of my own values and the faith he embodied that we could be on the world stage. Unbelievable at the time (player and even more so first time as a manager). I never stopped being a fan. NUFC always mattered. I consider myself a supporter again as in the last few years I have attended games (even if not as religiously as I once did) and bought products. The point for me is that it is part of my identity, as is being a Geordie. It is also a link with my known ancestors, parents and grandparents. It mattered to (most of) them and was part of our shared sense of who we are/were. That won't change. Perhaps that is the most important 'point'.

The 25...

Anyone who thought things would be different in the slightest is demented imo. Well I held out some hope of benefitting from a flurry of late movement. Not demented, just very disappointed.

Trying to give people insomnia judging by that get up!

Any sightings in motorway services with brown paper envelopes full of dosh?? (No, not for 'escorts').

Shock evidence of average intelligence levels in Sunderland... they don't want hacky Jackie. http://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/sunderland-move-for-ross-mccormack-in-the-balance-but-no-interest-in-newcastle-outcast-jack-colback-1-8730667

Lazaar off to Italy: "According to Benevento’s edition of Il Mattino, the 25-year-old will be signing with on a loan with a view to buy, and things are so advanced that the newspaper go with a headline basically confirming that he’s already part of the club." http://sportwitness.co.uk/newspaper-go-confirm-newcastle-exit-loan-view-buy/

Gayle isn't going anywhere without a replacement. Our current 'recruitment team' are either the kind of people who would be awesome poker players or incompetent...

Ker-ching.

Same thought. Rafa and his crew are too meticulous not to have had a large number of options, can't see this guy as having been high on that list but hey-ho we are where we are.

Fuck that for imagery. I'm snowboarding into your imagined tranquility. Then churning-up the virgin snow metaphorical inactivity like a Tourette's afflicted rapper. Screaming: "Walk... fat cunt... sell, sell, sell, buy, buy, buy. Oil-up the fax machine ye fuckers!"

Are Natalie, Kirsty and Hayley not reliable?

Here's to good negotiating, skilled bargaining and a hard but fair fight to get what we need.

June July August.

Shite a light.

What a cockblob.

You on meth like ? Combining the considered feedback (ahem) I am apparently shagging the stunning Crystal.

Am I the only one is still excited about what tomorrow might bring? (And yes, might is the operative word).

If we get £20m off Wolves for the two of them, that's £22m for Gayle by my calculations.
