I turned to our company and said "steady on, that's a bit much"

Aye. Was lush that Targett deserved a contract, imho, did really well. It was just injuries and BDB that cocked it up. Mind I'm completely blinded by his stealing the ball off of James Justin? then releasing Willock that, eventually, led to Bruno's winner v Leicester

Parked up near the cat & dog shelter yesterday and walked through Leazes Park to the ground. Dad and his kid having a nice, jolly, walk over the ice to the island and then 3 students plucked up enough courage* to copy them. Nobody more in tune with nature/nostalgia than I. Absolutely woke af me but that whole area, including a reclaimed and flattened St.James' footprint could be a wonderful asset to the city. I'd be up for it even given the dereliction of our open spaces is another, deliberate, result of political austerity ideology. * insert rank stupidity

It's a mute point any of them throwing a random, shit NUFC attendance back, tbf. Fact is they're in the midst of a season which may well be their most important, yet. That small gathering for the Stoke game is indicative of a deep malaise somewhat masked by over inflated, regular, attendance figures. If they don't go up now combined with our consistent improvement (lid will blow off IF we actually win something) the local interest in trampsville will lessen further.

Just caught up with the Arsenal "penalty" & aftermath 😂 Dear God that Haavertz is a right cunt like. Definitely plays for the right team and, for that carry on alone, I'm pleased Man U got through.

Agree with this. Slightly disagree with the suggestion another youngster could've been given a run out, tho. Having one, in Miley, was sufficientl. Someone, last night, said Longstaff "looked like he didn't want to be there" which, of course, was utter fucking garbage. The lad always puts himself about and did yesterday. He may even have been told to do the runs that made space for Miley? Who knows? He's not shit and can do a job. I will say, however, that it's plain to see that there are different levels in the squad now more than ever. I think the transition to shorten the gaps will ramp up in the summer.

Who's he on here?

This. Definitely MotM

We giving them a canny few £££? Full wedge or halfers?

If we're being fanciful, why not build at the arena and extend the Metro line from St James to the Arens then away up the West End. Thank me later, x

Just had a gander at the BBC football page featuring the City v Salford game. Nice photo of a delirious Jack Grealish hugging James McAtee. They look well chuffed with themselves. Either celebrating Grealish's penalty to make it 4 zip or one of McAtee's to make it 5, 7 or 8. Classy

Take my imaginary wife's name outta your mouth

Hahahaha

You an Admin?

Caught the last 5 mins of extra time on Total wank. Bonus of the sparcity in attendance is you can hear the "crowd" paying homage to the 70s by singing "youuuuuuuuuuuu, fat bastard" at their keeper. Respect.

Tbf, it's understandable them being excited by this signing. I know absolutely zero about the kid but if Sunderland had had to pay the £16m (?) for him, that Roma paid, he'd be their all time 2nd highest signing, EVER, after NDong. If they get promoted and have to pay the £20m he's up there with The Dong.

Tbf this didn't need it's own thread. "Memberships" or the ticket forum would've sufficed. We're not there yet, and all that 😂 it's more about availability/demand/procurement than anything else.

In every single walk of life we let "market forces" dictate the price. When the electorate have allowed themselves to believe any nod to socialism and affordability of goods and services is irrelevant then so be it. No good moaning about football prices. I'm of the opinion that I'd rather listen to Newcastle beat Liverpool in a cup final on the radio than pay for a £10 ticket to watch them get beat in the 2nd round. It'll be a new stadium with loads of corporate and a few more season tickets.

No idea, tbf. Was having a convo with her rellies (strewth, mate, I've gone all Ozzie) last week. They live close by and their kids went there. They were on about where all the students were going to have to go instead but I'd switched off by then.

Heard its closing. Waste of ££££

It's, actually, Greek for Post-it-notes. Little known fact is, in the time honoured family tradition, Ange's Dad used to leave post-it-notes all over the house with little suggestions and chores. Things like "Do ya homework, you hoon" & "when all things are equal you'll get ya pocket money, son" etc etc. Daft thing is he always stuck them on the skirting boards and, to this day, Ange still can't talk to anyone without looking down.

Evertonion on Talkshite now has nearly got me in bits never mind him 😂😂😂
