Well, yes I am saying otherwise - do you think that a 40m loss at a football club is the result of paying tea ladies and stewards too much?  Bournemouth's wage bill was huge for the time - over 30m - Howe didn't spend much at all on transfers.  Again, that doesn't detract from the achievement - just as spending 90m in January doesn't detract from the phenomenal job he's done at NUFC.

 

The always excellent Swiss Ramble explains it far better than I can:

Good read that. 

Me not being the brightest I'm taking from those figures that their, varnigh, £40m losses INCLUDED the £7m fine. 

Reminds me of being a reckless financial knacker in my youth when I was barrasic, got letters from the bank manager ( yes kids, actual fucking letters) telling me I was being fined £25 for going over my overdraft AND £15 admin costs for them sending a letter ??

Kick a man while he's down like ?

Had my Spotify playlist on while driving yesterday and Fort Minor "Remember the Name" came on. 

I downloaded it because it was the soundtrack to that Tiote YouTube vid back in the day. 

Was reminiscing about how good he could be.

Potential's supposedly there but needs to bulk up and be given lots of confidence for him to succeed. Just bed him in like we did Bruno and hopefully we'll pay dividends down the line

 

 

Basically stick him on the bench for the first 3 games then unleash the beast?

I didn't watch the game. Not really fussed about close season friendlies.

As for the squad, coming together well. Semis and finals. However, they ain't 70's Brazil

Them bogs were grim, especially when been pissing it down too

Nearest you get is that, 1st of the day, lag after a full session on the drink the night before. Fully dehydrated yellow piss. If your bathroom is riddled with damp that'll get you bonus points & nearer the full aroma

Has anyone who's walked past the stadium in the last week or so noticed if they've got people to give the stadium a proper clean? Would be nice to see the stench from the last 15 years completely gone.

I've still got the stench of the 60s/70/80s Gallowgate pissers in my nostrils.

Why would mining turn someone into a Mackem?  My granddad worked in the pits in Northumberland, but managed not to become one

Maybees your Granddad stayed in Northumberland his whole mining career? Had he moved to Jarrow, for eg, he would've become a Jarrow mag. 

It's not exactly rocket science but, back in the day, when many villages in Northumberland/Durham/Yorkshire had their own collieries the workforce could be transient. Had to be. If your colliery shut or had a bad accident you HAD to jog on and find work elsewhere. Likewise when smaller collieries merged into bigger ones.

Yeah, Ashington always had a high Mackem quota - never understood why, mind

 

Our greatest no.9 grew up as a Sunderland fan in Ashington of course.  He saw the light in the end

Mining

Anyone else can't say "Shakira" without saying "Shakira, Shakira" as a follow up!? 

Also, if I'm putting gloves on, when I put the 1st on I invariably say "oooh oooh Shamone mutha fukka" 

Mostly out loud.

They have the fourth most expensive squad in the league. Let's not pretend they've done a Leicester here. 

Aye this. Was listening to, iirc, Talkshite before the ECL final and the general vibe was Klopp's Liverpool were moderate spenders. I was shaking my head in disbelief. 

Perhaps compared to City or Chelsea but they've spunked a fortune. 

Probs easier to go out and buy marquee players to enhance the team if you've a plethora of homegrown talent already on board but still. 

I've just deleted a post and, on reflection I should've left it in. 

Along the lines of..... "As likeable as Targett is, he's no Irving Nattress..............#oldbastard"

Posted it then remembered.

Yeah, Niall, he's no Irving fucking Nattress because Nattress was a fucking RIGHT back you cunt. 

Obvs, said in my head like cos she's still in bed ?️??
