Which in turn would batter Tom Mather's team of 1936-37.

 

Which was closer in time to Bill McGarry's era than McGarry is to today.

Not so sure. Didn't they have Charles Charlie Charles in midfield? ?

I'd like to see the letter from Steve Bruce, where he says he had the idea to congratulate your mate first.

Dear (redacted) 

Canny to hear you're getting married and have supported Newcastle for 50 years like me too has. 

Jesmond Dene House is a great venue and does lush bait. 

What time's the buffet on? 

Clamming, Steven

I know it could've been Monday night but this seems ages to wait for. Must just be the fevered anticipation.

Good luck to Fraser, far from the worst we've ever had and did well for us at times. Shame if he's been the source of leaks though, that doesn't reflect well.

 

In terms of worst ever, I've had to go 3 at the back to fit in all the shite midfielders we've had. Oh which note, how had nobody mentioned Amdy Faye? Total dogshit, just not even a footballer. First name on my list.

 

Mike Hooper

 

Marcelino
Cacapa
Boumsong

 

Hendrick
Getemi
Amdy Faye
Smith
Colback

 

Guivarch
Xisco

That team would batter Bill McGarry's. 

Equate it to the woks Christmas do and the gaffer comes over to the table, grabs your lass by the face and hoys the lips on her. 

Do you

a) put him on his arse

b) grab his face and hoy the lips on him

c) Wait until 9am Monday and report him to HR

Brings back memories of me Dad coming around one Sunday for the family scran fest. Apart from the fact he's a Leslie Philips/Carry On tribute act he used to bring loads of tubes of Fruit Pastilles or Smarties* for the kids/lasses. ( * if it was Werthers I wouldn't let him in the house let alone near the kids, obvs ?) 

Anyways he went to put a tube of pastilles down Mrs G's top and the whole room just went silent. I honestly thought his days were ended ???

Daft old 70s throwback, that he is. 

Went to watch the 3rd episode again and we both let out little farts of excitement seeing ep4 on the screen only to have that turn into shart when the cunt wouldn't play. 

Settled for 3 again. 

I can see why some people want to knock it for it's, obvious, editorial staging but it's not Panorama lads. 

Love it. 

Hot tubs n that ?

Appreciate this is meant to be a Fraser thread, and good luck to him, but whilst you lot are compiling a team of "shit players" spare a thought for those of us who watched the cup final 74 & 76 squads degenerate into Bill McGarry's 1979 team then downwards. 

Years of mediocrity ?

decent piece from the athletic, academies have moved on a lot, didn’t realise releasing players involved such processes. 

On a more serious note, and notwithstanding the obvious bias that parents would have, taking kids from 5 years old onwards is wild. 

Basically moulded a child into thinking they're on an upward trajectory to super stardom then having 2 Yr interval cut offs. Brutal. 

I'm not surprised there's a need for psychological support for the kids but I also think there's a need for the parents and family too. 

Little Johnny not making it, when you've built it up in your head since they were in primary school, could be a crushing blow.

Snowflakes. This is how it was back in the day. Never did me any harm ?

I heard he sleeps without a pillow, just lies there flat on the mattress.

Minteh get a game? Their fans are rotten mind, same as Italians. Portugal, Spain, German teams plus maybe salzberg would be great trips. Would be underwhelming getting rangers too

No half & half scarfs?

Doubt they've hoyed a clause in to block him. 

Pure speculation on my part, all 3 ?

Not fussed about Pot1 so I'll go Feyenoord based on my Pot2 and 3 being hard enough, Minteh being there, the Dam etc etc 

Pot2 Athletico

Shithouse derby. The Masters v the Apprentices. 

Two nil nil games with a, combined, 32mins of "ball in play" 

Pot3 AC Milan

Sandro scores the winner, in the San Siro, final group game, to take us through. Doesn't celebrate until he gets back home and books another table at The Bullman

I'm just hoping when they finally release episode 3 they accidentally release episode 4 again as well.

Aye, watched 3 after last week's fuck up but wasn't quick enough to grab 4.

It is mad we don't have a squad packed to the gills with Champions League pedigree *checks notes* a year and a half after the takeover went through with a squad sat in 19th place.

I remember approaching that first January window and deriding some of the PFMs on here clamouring for a total haul over of galacticos ?

10 for me 

Moan moan moan. 

Watching Sky Sports News through Ireland on the VPN and this advert just came up. 

Better choices. ?

I'm not sure whether I'd rather absolutely crush these or win via a controversial sweatshow of goal with Tindall windmilling toward the Liverpool beach.

Then hobble back pretending he's pulled a hammy

Havertz just moved further up the "Footballers who are cunts" list

So why don't they do the same for season tickets? Surely that's a closed shop? 

Hierarchy, I guess. The club's, obvs.
