  1. Shearer's definitely talked like that for years like. I remember mocking the way he said Stoke about 10 years ago.
  2. Roy Keane's absolutely spot on about the 'managers who play the game' by getting pally with everyone in the media like. They will all swear blind that being friends with someone makes no difference to their professional judgement, until they're suddenly in a position where they're advocating OGS as the manager for one of the biggest clubs in the world, or comparing a manager with a 20% win rate with one who's won multiple trophies across Europe and they look completely and blatantly compromised.
  3. Literally everyone I know from Gosforth including my lass's family all talk like that. Howp, coawts, loawds, stowk. (hope, coats, loads, stoke) Couldn't tell you why like, but they do.
  4. She absolutely is like Princess Diana in the sense that she seems to get the same type of seat-sniffing adulation that she had
  5. I try to remember Freddie Shepherd doing these sorts of things and all I can remember is him going 'yiv got yi Luque's and yi Emre's'
  6. 'Couldn't have imagined bringing in a better manager' I mean, you nearly did that, never mind imagining it.
  7. 2 interviews within a month? Ambassador you are spoiling us
  8. Feel free to tell me to STFU, but my advice to everyone would be to accept that the club we support is owned by terrible, terrible people and to just accept that. You don't need to excuse yourself or justify supporting the club you've supported your entire life to anyone but yourself. You couldn't change the owners if you wanted to, if Newcastle fans couldn't be budged to boycott an owner they all universally loathed, they're not going to be budged to boycott owners that 97% of the fan base wanted. If you start looking for hypocrisy everywhere you'll find it everywhere (because it is everywhere) and spend your time driving yourself crazy trying to show everyone the double standards - ever further grasping at straws to the point of outright excusing the owners of their wrongdoing. You're also playing the man and not the ball - just because there's hypocrisy doesn't mean they're wrong. Thicker skins and an acceptance of the situation imo, don't let yourself excuse things you know are barbaric, or start picking at genuine arguments from the likes of Amnesty International or Hatice Cengiz, not just because it's a shit thing to do, but also because it'll also drive you mental in the long run. We all know that the majority of fans of other clubs are completely full of shit, they all are, we all were with Man City. Club owners are exactly the same and it's all about them using whatever argument they have available to them to complain about how it's now harder for them to succeed. We won the blood money lottery and they didn't - that's basically the depth of their complaint and knowing that makes it easy to ignore them imo. NUFC isn't specifically disliked by fans or other club owners for any other reason, Amnesty International and the like aren't specifically picking on NUFC either, they do this stuff across the board and rightly so.
  9. The heart/like always has an advantage over sharing/retweeting
  10. No one ever guessed who we would go for when the budget was often just anyone who's on a free. Now that the budget is infinity pounds I don't think we're gonna fair any better like. Will be really interesting to see the calibre of player they're after.
  11. Partridge looking around his 5 bedroom house energy
  12. Even if he does well at Villa, if he goes there, he doesn't really have any right to be in the running for the Liverpool job considering the stature that Klopp had before going and the level of the standards that have now been set.
  13. The only slight tweak I would suggest from what I've seen is to have the final league table included in the season summaries. Aside from that the amount of detail you've included is excellent.
  14. Bit of an abrupt end there like.
  15. Is that your website? Looks absolutely class that mate, I'll have to give that a good read at some point.
  16. Kid Icarus

    Sunderland

    Just seen that Adobe are sponsoring Real Madrid. The mackems must be fewmin that it's not them, they love their PDF files.
  17. Cut scene: Newcastle 0 Brentford 4
  18. Does he say "stood where Jo is, like a plank of wood, so you've got to create space" at about 2 minutes?
  19. I'm sure Ritchie has a bit of a 'told you' moment when Willock's blowing out of his arse.
  20. Shelvey's involved a lot like. Willock looked absolutely shattered as well. Loved that.
  21. dripping like a fucked fridge over watching the basics of passing and moving
  22. From what I've read it seems that he shouldn't get all of the credit or blame for the signings made during that time, but that he was massively responsible for Chelsea's academy and their loan setup. This is a good post about it:
  23. 2+2=5 but would absolutely love us to go for RLC, proper love him.
  24. Anyone know why he left Monaco?
  25. Gonna be mad getting up to feed the baby early on a morning knowing that Eddie Howe's already at work.
