Absolute nonsense.

Think the Rangers and Celtic games are now borderline unwatchable because of the drone of their daft drum each

Hope they can cope.

Can’t believe he responded to a slur on his job performance by a stranger in a slightly put out way. Disgusting.

Instead of being ‘good at playing the media’ Howe needs to actually address whatever the issues are in a frank and positive way. He increasingly feel like less than a relevant figure to be honest, the horrible cunts that own us will just hire some other shill that likes to play from the back or whatever it is. Good isn’t it, football.

any particularly naughty places still show these Saturday games? Say, in the Gateshead and Newcastle area? Wouldn’t mind a PM if so

Toon civil war, just like the old days.

Well, that was a huge fuck up on their part wasn’t it? But you’re right to point out that Chelsea and Man Utd are the wise ones when it comes to transfers. A rare error.

He is never absolutely terrible, that’s ridiculous.

It’s even worse if they think they’re being witty. Cunts. Like we’re ‘owning’ the issues with our owners. Just fuck off. (not you, them.)

Yep, I was in the leazes corner and witnessed it from several thick cunts in the Milburn. It makes us look like absolute dickheads or, worse, Chelsea fans. It did stop almost immediately but it did definitely happen and it was fairly loud. The fucking idiocy of it

Did you go, lad? Anybody else there that night?

Kevin Ball hitting the bar from the halfway line

Well yeah- I don’t want us actively breaking rules.

He will solve one problem.

Who did South Shields get?

Haha. Surely there was a better option for him than a crammed train?

I remember 2011. We had just beaten Sunderland. Growing up in a mixed area- and not in an era when we had had everything to ourselves- winning at Sunderland was such an outrageously good thing. Like Bart Simpson hearing school was cancelled- pleasure overload. We were playing Fulham the next weekend and in between there was the usual Ashley transfer window shitshow. That had felt unfortunate but hardly fatal, I just couldn’t wait to watch us again. It had been such a glorious week- replaying the highlights, texting mates going over details. I still vividly remember some tosser on here telling us he wasn’t going to watch the match, he was watching Man Utd instead. Not to support them, he still supported Newcastle, but he just didn’t see why he should watch it when we hadn’t signed who he had wanted us to sign that week. Most distanced I have ever felt from our fanbase that. We won 2-1 against Fulham and went onto finish fifth. That bloke still posts regularly on here and seems to have mellowed a bit.

Can somebody even explain the Tonali question?

Why can’t they play each other?

Wish they would fuck off to be honest. Don’t care what they’re supposed to be doing for us- it’s a shit price to pay.

It’s bizarre to expect Howe to somehow address this though.

I hope I don’t sound precious, and I know it’s a bit of fun and doesn’t matter, but do you reckon any other of the Athletic podcasts dedicated to a particular club featuring journalists paid to cover said club spends quite as much airtime doing hilarious banter about not wanting to attend games because they’re far away? Games they’re paid to watch. I would just drop the running joke, lads.

I don’t like hypocrites. He always presented himself in public as a footballer.

What’s the name of the podcast?
