Obvs it's all puuuuure speculation anyways but, fwiw, I don't really think he's shit like. As said, just went to Man City and got Pep'd An exciting dynamic winger/midfielder who should've gone on to play havoc, for any team, as a midfielder freed to "express himself" sent out to plod about playing tiki taki If Eddie wants him fair doos but I'd put my hard earned reputation on the line and say he doesn't 😉

The drop off between him and Bruno/Tonali would be huge as well btw. He'd, maybees, do a job at LM but he'd have to change the Man City mindset and put a rocket up his old, arse

Absolutely. My base point has always been Eddie knows best. I just think he's shit 😂

Apart from the fact we'd have an older player on £200k a week, part funded by us, sat on the bench. When he's not on the bench where's he playing? Who's he replacing? Gordon's above him in the England pecking order and he's not getting a gig in our mid 3 so I ask again, what's the point of him?

I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. He's done a Philips and had lots of money and glory whilst his game's gone to rat shit. See also, but to a lesser extent, the boy Sterling I wouldn't play him instead of Joelinton, Gordon or Barnes on the left of a mid3 or front3 I wouldn't play him instead of Bruno or Tonali as a "playmaker" free role. So what's the point of him?

Probs not the best analogy but there's a few, on here, with mindsets that are reminiscent of some of my colleagues in the Fire Service when Management were throwing hideous changes to shifts etc etc. The gaffers would send out rumours of an extreme shift pattern, for eg, and we'd get lads (then) coughing up their own, slightly more palatable, versions of a shift pattern. 'course us FBU reps were saying "ram that shit right up ya arse. We'll fight for what we already have" Now I'm not naive enough to disregard PSR and it's implications but, for me, there's way too much of a "sell Tino" & "if anyone needs to go, sell Gordon" patter. Mind there's a few saying sell these guys because they don't rate them 🙄 which is worse, obviously.

Either Les's cock, draped on the floor or the "KK" row signs? You decide.

Osula doesn't give a flying fuck man. He's having a blast regardless. Gets a free scarf and a share bag of Haribo Sours with every appearance on the bench.

Correct if I'm mistaken but the "Full Time Celebration" vid has been shortened? 8 & 1/2 mins now, sure it was over 12? Still good but lacking, imho

When I first glanced at that I thought you were on about Richard Madeley who, famously, doesn't like any form of CCTV but, alas, you meant Bobby

Seen the price of corned beef now man Absolutely loved a homemade pie off of the Granny or Aunty. Proper pastry as well. My Aunty Mary made me a ham n egg pie to eat the night Groundhog Jnr entered the world. Wolfed it down with 4 cans of Carling. Sadly a Wednesday so had to miss out on the Football Pink

Been watching the highlights again and the Full-Time Celebration video featuring Peter Sandberg's "Dismantle" (cheers for the resource, whoever it was, ). I haven't really gone into much detail about our cup final experience. More out of respect for Mrs G's unwavering sense of privacy than anything else but am minded to share a bit. FWIW Her Mam, an amazingly warm, generous and hugely entertaining woman, had dementia kick in a few years ago. Signs were there at a time we moved her from her house into a lovely bungalow but she slowly diminished before our very eyes from then on. If any consolation was to be had it is that at her, ultimate demise, she was under her own roof with her loved ones around her, whom she still remembered at the end. She loved her sport. Rugby and football, mainly. We'd have her and her long term partner around for every Newcastle match. She, most definitely would have been here for the final. As it was she took a huge downturn the week prior. This was expected as she'd stopped eating and drinking. Mrs G took time of work and stayed overnight whilst her sister and M-in-L's partner (they never lived together, as it goes) covered the days. Cup final day came and we both watched it here. Surreal as it was we both lapped it up as much as anyone of us that day. Bruno's post-match interview about 70 years of waiting, some dying in the lingering. Particularly poignant, of course. On her way up to her Mam's she dropped me off at the Metro for my futile trip into town to catch up with my drunken brother and our pal from York. Despite missing them I still enjoyed a taste of the euphoria but, by the time I'd walked up to St.James to meet some other family, my heart wasn't in it. Had a beer in the Haymarket, bus home, watched the first half again and went to bed. Mrs G had gone to her Mam's, took over from the others and sat by her bed for a bit. Her Mam was very very weak, drifting a bit but mostly sleeping. At one point, however, she woke up and the wife says.... "Mam, Newcastle won the cup!!!" "eeeh, never, I don't believe you" came the faint reply On the evening of the following Tuesday 3 of her Grandchildren were sat around her bed, saying their goodbyes, as it were. The subject of our Cup win came up, 1 of the Grandkids is Man U through and through. "Mam, tell him about Newcastle winning the Cup" "yes, I know. First one I've missed as well" She passed away Thurs morning. Bruno knew the crack Has to be said, by the way, that our injecting our eyes and ears with all that glorious Cup Final content was a massive help those post-final 2 weeks.

New signing gets £250k a week, £200k more than he got last season Mary, from admin, gets 1 week's wages for every one year she grafted for Massive United as she's punted out the door Both can be true of Brexit Jim

Grim af on here these days like. Can't even say "fish supper" 😉

Dry your eyes, mate

Haven't read it yet, cheers for the quick archive Geordie, but I'm still hounded by that post about us being 11th in Europe's "coefficient" when the FCB took over

Not really upto speed on I it all but I did hear a bit on the radio, yesterday. Big kerfuffle about Frank Kirby then Millie Bright chucking the towel in but then, at the end, they said the manager hadn't picked them anyway. Sounds like a load of bollox, 😂

Some boy 😂

Just you then Bobby? Must be the algorithm 😊
