I'm genuinely suprised they haven't been sniffing around any of our's. Notwithstanding they won't want to pay mega wages, not many championship teams will tbf, there's every reason a Clark, Gayle, Ritchie would improve them and an Elliot on loan too. Neil had them playing, or at least trying to, on the front foot. Edited.....delete all that ?. We're Burnley dross

Played against Kenny years ago. Think I was playing for the Westfield in the alphabet. Match up in Fenham off Two Ball Lonnen. I thought "wtf is Kenny Wharton doing playing here?". Knees all strapped up as well. Obvs just loved it and playing with pals. Referee was a (then) current top ref. Can't remember his name. Think it was 'up his own arse cunt' Tbf getting rinsed off of Beardsley's a badge of honour unless you're at Go Ape. Apart from Kenny Wharton my claim to fame is sending Scott Sloan for a Chronicle. He actually said "nice turn, done iz there" ? I'm 58 now and it still rankles that my parents never ever came to watch me. School football or weekend 5 a side tournaments. No interest. I was canny as well. Knocked around the same team as Trevor Steven. Played football all my life until I hit 40s. Various standards but found my level and enjoyed every minute. Even went in goal for 4 and 5 a sides. Once, playing for the Fire Service, in Eldon Square, getting a full sine die ban for kicking a door after getting a red. In goal as well man. Loved watching the bairn play for his teams. He became a goalie which, given his parents are midgets, was a suprise. I kna I did but not full size nets ? Watched him play for his juniors in Crammy then trips down to York when we split up and his Mum went back down there with him. Tried to get to as many games as possible. I think it's a great thing for their confidence and I've always said it doesn't matter if they're not world beaters. If they can play and carry on doing so they'll have loads of pals and memories. All being well the bairn (27) might be moving back up so, you never know, I might get to watch him again. Ive a few pals who's kids play and they're full on soccer Mam's n dad's. Put the miles and time in. One couple's laddie, from York as it happens, has just been signed up for a scholarship with Pilkington Town FC. Playing in squad AND linked to college. I honestly think refereeing is an avenue some kids should consider, notwithstanding the aggro, obvs. Kids footy is great tho. One of my nephew's played for a Crammy team and they'd lost every game. Went to watch the last game of season and they got a late equaliser. Honestly it was as if they'd won the a world Cup. Absolute scenes and tears. Enjoying your bairns playing sport is priceless. Enjoy it.

Precisely why I follow covid deniers and climate crisis deniers on twatter. Just in case they're reet

Dystopian world where NUFC fans wouldn't want Sterling.

Probs Steve Bruce then or his gormless son.

The pedant in me would argue that card is ill written. Unless Bruno, actually, loves this kid's Dad it should read... "Dad I love you more (than I love) Bruno G..." But, then again, I get the impression wor Bruno loves everyone ?

You had her on Google images while you typed that, didn't you?

My understanding is they were all down his local having a bit of Dutch before harassing him at home. He got wind of it and headed them off at the pass, as it were. Snidey af filming tho but

I can remember Charnley sat in the Strawberry telling home truths....

He's not. Canny as he is, he fell short when it mattered.

Who took it down? The shitstains

Ha. Do I need that Homer gif, reverse ferreting back into the hedge? I skim read his tweets and read that Sancho interview blog. Tbf, as I've said I've had a 10 year hiatus from NUFC, I'm so giddy now I'm easily seduced

Following now. Writes some good stuff, I see. One of the positives of the social media revolution is the emergence of so many well informed, articulate commentators on football. This guy's a good example. Also see James Lawrence A. Of course it's also unleashed a veritable smorgasbord of narcissistic bellends but that's showbiz

Regardless of our, ultimate, owner's morality etc etc you've got to admire the way the 3 front of house conduct themselves. Ok Jamie's a tory cunt and shouldn't be anywhere near a foodbank for plaudits but other than that seems happily legit. Amanda is just a dream. You get the sense she's just utterly and emotionally tied into the club. Then there's Mehrdad bothering his arse replying to balloons on twitter. Daft cunts tagging them into spurious twitter threads and/or asking ridiculous questions. No better than Exile, some of them.

1st time in 10 years I'm bothered.

And I'm just saying that a huge chunk of the people described by the gvt as on welfare, and the resultant financial figure, are pensioners on both State Pension AND in receipt of "some form" of benefit. Totally and deliberately scews the arguement. they present to diminish the welfare state
-
And there lies the problem. "some form" The UK GVT & the devolved powers use the same figures. They, the DWP, class the State Pension as a "benefit" for eg. Weird, I know. Iirc 48% of people "in receipt of 'some form' of benefit are IN WORK" Only 1 in 8 households in receipt of housing benefit, for eg, have no one working Anyways. Hope we sign Ekitke and "soon"

All of the above. That clip of him being a cunt to the 13yr-old keeper while Neville Southall berates him just sums him up. Probs gets used by psychologists to pinpoint mental deviance

Free elderly/personal care No tuition fees Free prescriptions Progressive and aggresive policies on smoking and drinking etc etc It's not perfect under the SNP but way less of a shithole, basket case than England. I'd take "Wee Nippy" over 98% of Westminster any day.
