enthusiast

i've honestly thought about this (to be completely open, i am at best ambivalent about PIF/the takeover). me local club these days is ajax (not bad like ) and i've got a shot there and it's not took, and i've tried watching amateur football and it's not took and the problem is.. i'm a newcastle fan. always will be. i can't force a love or even an interest in another club, and there's fuck all i can do about it. i'm chained to the buggers for the rest of me life.

anyway now i've got the serious stuff out me system, time for some jokes

full doc, if anyone cares to peruse:

quietly hoping that the population of yemen aren't magically transformed overnight into white, christian europeans. it's an apposite moment for the game as a whole to reconsider ownership models and the cost/benefit of oligarchs/nation states buying up clubs, NUFC included. meanwhile, i'm not going to make a pious hypocrite of myself, there's a decent-sized part of me having a sly laugh about this. i'm sure there's some decent chelsea fans out there who don't deserve to have this happen to the club they support... but i've never fucking met them.

joining the chorus of praise for yer site @Toontimes, first i've heard of it from this thread but absolutely cracking work. hat's off to yer.

next question!: why choose the name of a nazi war criminal as your username, and have you ever considered feeding yourself feet first into a woodchipper?

i am very definitely an old stick in the mud about this but as far as i'm concerned we've not had a home shirt worthy of the name since 04/05 (maybe maybe at a push i'll accept 09/10, and all the snide-yet-overpriced tesco two-stripe shite in the world isn't going to do owt about it. fuck em off and get a proper multinational sporting conglomerate people have heard of who can make a shirt that is just black-and-white stripes without any unnecessary twatty shite on it.

no, wait, we need to hear what he thinks of ben arfa

just mandela effect'd meself big time thinking about the pink juventus shirt - i remember being at the home friendly in 1998, i remember hamann making his home debut, scoring a goal and looking a fucking brilliant player, and i remember juventus wearing that mint pink shirt. turns out the pink was the season before, and that game was played in cesena.

that's one way of putting it

wee phillie's the pound shop chubby brown, aye?

got a bit of a beardsley jaw

make him honorary president, huge executive box on the halfway line, have lads out the u23s carry him around on a fuck-off big golden throne everywhere he goes

not got half the flair or panache of colo choking that cunt in portugal, like. absolute clodhopper.
