But why would he agree to that? edit: Sorry, being stupid. He agrees because he wants to move and they wouldn’t accept the bid otherwise? Makes sense though doesn’t suit the narrative of the day, which was that he was being somehow bullied into moving

Carroll put in a transfer request on the day. I think at the time there was some sort of confusion, lots of people kind of suggesting that that was because he had been…forced into it, I guess? Strange day.

Biffo the Bear makes me sad. They’re mackems. What’s his excuse?

@JonBez comesock any chance of a thread (or long post) about your experiences of those times? Kind of an AMA vibe? Would be amazing to get a behind the scenes take on our best ever era

Yes, no football during winter would be complete shit.

I know Paully was half kidding, but they have left themselves open to the possibility of a midweek kick-off in the derby. First time since 1999 if that somehow comes off.

Agreed. Find the whole love-in a bit odd to be honest. He's seemingly a canny lad that makes passable pop music and supports Newcastle- fine. It doesn't have to be more than that.

Apparently the rugby World Cup is on at Sunderland during the second week, so that suggests we’ll be away first. let’s go: Man Utd away first Leeds at home boxing day Arsenal away last day

Love the lad whose son is into a varied mix of music: ‘Oasis, the Charlatans, even the Beetles.’ All the music.

Aren’t season ticket holders the ones who don’t protest- because they’re weak and morally corruptible?

Nah. Couldn’t be more delighted that it’s them that will suffer.

Imagine your life though

What is your obsession with Aston Villa?

Is there anything to be said for making an official complaint?

Fuck off with this.

Why did they even look at it if he had blown his whistle?

Nobody said we would beat Arsenal in a walkover. I’m glad you’re happy and hope you get to a couple of games next year.

Three plus one is four

We don’t, do we?

What did Terry say?

‘According to them’ is the key phrase here

This is like a post on ready to go that we would take the piss out of. Just get a grip. We get two fun fixtures, if they stay up they stay up. They are miles behind us and will be for generations

Who do you think owns them? They’ll follow the grim Southampton/Sheff United model. It’s not a worry.

Where’s this from?

@Ketsbaia Do you take any joy from supporting us?
