6/10. Trippier and Bruno are both massive coups. I think Wood will surprise a few and turn out to be a decent signing. I don’t think we’ve solved our defence problems in anything like the way we needed to - don’t really rate Targett and don’t know enough about Burn. Reserving the right to increase this if we do anything last minute.

So we’re trying to sign a 19 year old kid with a one in two record in one of Europe’s top leagues who is top scorer for his club this season and people are still whinging. Love this club man.

Wood was better than what we already had by virtue of the fact there were no fit strikers in the squad

Even if Dubravka does come back into some sort of form there’s every chance he gets injured again before the end to the season. If Henderson is available it’s a no brained.

The Crystal Maze has got too complicated for me like.

If you play Our Radio Rocks backwards there’s a hidden message calling Mick Buxton a dickhead and that Roker Park smells of piss.

Who the fuck is he?

It’s the fact they think they’re stumbling across some grand conspiracy everyone else can’t see. It’s like All The President’s Men if everyone in the Washington Post’s newsroom had some sort of low level personality disorder. Let’s be frank here - the PL know what the crack is with our ownership. They stitched themselves up by being so transparently corrupt when it initially landed on their desk, and had to come up with some face saving bollocks about the Saudi state to bat back questions about piracy and BeIN. Now they just want the entire issue forgotten about.

They care about us more than I do.

Always playing his subordinates off against one. Ruled by fear. A terrible example IMO.

Honestly OCK, I’d have taken your word for it.

I’m nee statistician but having thoroughly examined the data I think they’re probably better off over there like.

Gayle will be out for the rest of the season after that.

Nudge, nudge.

One of the stupidest things I’ve ever read.

You can’t call them that nowadays mate.

As long as none of the cunts start juggling.

I’ve pissed in a lot of places after a night out. Can’t recall that exact tale though, so I’m probably not guilty.

I can’t remember much racism on Toontastic. Maybe it changed in later years. There were a few interesting characters with some pretty left field opinions but I’ve seen and heard much worse. And as much as LeazesMag was a tedious apologist for Shepherd and the Halls he was absolutely right about Ashley.

Well that didn’t work. About 50% of the posters were Mackems.

That’s my recollection. Toontastic was part of the absurdly long URL, got a redesign and changed to Toonchat then relaunched as Toontastic again after the merger which gave us N-O. Used to spend hours every day on Toontastic back in the Robson/Souness/Roeder years. Skunkers was great fun too. Still around albeit half dead and under a slightly different name iirc.

You can understand how having an actual striker who knows how to play that position at this level may mean we’re better set up than not, aye?

I mean it is but then acknowledging that would prevent people from shitting their pants. It’s the same way people flip their lid and want ASM dropped the minute he has an off day, ignoring the fact his presence immediately has teams sitting five yards deeper.
