Head of football administration is his title I think

Not claiming to be itk but my mate is the football secretary, he gives absolutely nothing away but you get the occasional snippet when he drops something in conversation ?‍♂️

The target last season was 10th, the target this year is 8th

Been quietly impressed with him. Hasn’t had a much of a chance to shine with the ball given the frantic nature of the game but he’s looked very disciplined and hard working.

At least two, I’d have been screaming for a pen had it been one of ours. Definitely a pen

For “a few weeks “ according to Eddie

He may have ambipedal ability but what are his torso deception and body elasticity stats?

Colin Veitch man, Colin fucking Veitch

As pointed out earlier in the thread, Cafu, but then again he’s probably the greatest fullback ever

It’s the champo mayte, hardest leygue in tha werld

The Inpost sponsorship is not small

I got as far as confidence is a particular before being told told to faak off☹️

Name dropping alert!I used to stay with a Chelsea supporting pal just off Fulham road for away games(RIP John). Always used to meet post match in a pub called the finches? Suggs bought me a pint, he was drinking with Phil Daniels, both of them were cracking people

Every time I’ve seen Fulham this year Willian has been top drawer, never seems to have bad games, cracking player

Can’t see that happening. Prior to Durham becoming a first class county Northumberland and Durham had a combined xi playing in the minor counties league. As part of the restructure of North East cricket Durham was selected as the premier county as the ECB wouldn’t accept a combined county. It’s one of the reasons why Durham plays the odd game north of the Tyne, initially Jesmond now South North at Gosforth

Torso deception

ABC of Cruyff, an excellent co-read alongside the already mentioned Brilliant Orange

Parklands will be I’d imagine. Racecourse will be floated by RacingUK money. The only meetings they will make money otherwise would be the plate, fighting fifth and ladies day and they have all diminished in stature once it went all weather

No chance of building on the woods it’s SSSI. Only option is the racecourse or Parklands. Racecourse would be viable as it’s already owned by the Ruebens

I pity those having affairs. Where are they going to go if the Border Minstrel shuts? The Falcons Nest doesn’t have the same ambience or discretion

I remember watching the ressies when Gazza played and coming home and telling me fatha this fat kid from Gateshead was the future. First Newcastle lad I’ve seen who’s at the same level. This kid is outstanding

Don’t think it will. Us and Man U going straight out puts a big hole in the coefficient boat. Germany, Italy and Spain are ahead in the current rankings

Aye, I was working at the city council at the time and it would have be a lengthy process with public enquiry after public enquiry. SJH got impatient binned the scheme and threatened relocation to either a site at the metro centre or a site near Gateshead stadium. There two main opposition groups, No Business on The Moor and Friends of Leazes Park led by the Indefatigable Dolly Potter, she was like a dog with a bone!

Yep, my mate’s nephew is one of the head honchos. His father died recently and he wanted to be involved to honour his dad’s legacy. Deal was done a couple of weeks ago
