The article goes on to say that he was an "A* student". Absolute bilge, even Luke Edwards wouldn't be that wide of the mark. His GCSE results spelt out F U D G E. True story.

These fucking PIF owned Saudi clubs have totally misunderstood the assignment. They're supposed to sign our shit players for inflated figures. Not sign our good players for reasonable figures and sign our rivals shit players for inflated figures. Sell them Longstaff for 60 million

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/former-newcastle-vipers-player-turned-6867632.amp For a start, he got locked up for being a charity scammer, he didn't do basic research about the event he was supposedly participating in and got caught out almost immediately. He also never gave a fuck about football until he watched Green Street when he was 15 and then turned up the next week in Stone Island gear and talking in a fake cockney accent. He told us that he joined Whitley Bays hooligan firm and decked some kid wearing a Blyth Spartans shirt.

There's so many more tales to tell about that guy, but I don't want to derail the 'Kieran Tripper's Honking Wardrobe Thread'

Tripps is clearly not the paragon of virtue I always like to imagine my footballing heroes to be, but we're not employing him to be a righteous, celibate, trappist monk, as long as he's not doing anything illegal and he's a valuable asset to the club, I couldn't care what he gets up to in his spare time. That said, his clothes are gimpy as fuck and Chloe Ferry has enough plastic just in her lips to choke a sea turtle. She occupies the grey area between humans and space hoppers. FWIW, I went to school with Chloe Ferry's brother. He was as thick as a whale omelette, the lads at his boxing club convinced him to eat a tin of dog food by telling him it was a good source of protein.

POTT is very hit and miss. It has it's moments but the patter between the 3 hosts and that gimpy wee southern extinction rebellion sounding kid is fucking wretched

Thanks for sharing, really appreciate the insight. Has there been any indications from the Brighton side which teams are in for him? Does it look like Newcastle are in the driving seat or are there others sniffing around (Probably Chelsea)?

Same, calling him a nonce is just wrong. He should've been called a 'bald nonce'.

Honestly, the sooner AI replaces hacks like Edwards, the better. In fact, is there an AI programme we could use on this forum that would automatically detect and delete anything posted by that fucking bum?

Let me guess: EXCLUSIVE! Joao Pedro being monitored as club considers preparing opening bid.

This. I don't go out my way to listen to him or follow his every move, but who wouldn't love to see a local lad, "one of your own", do well for himself.

Well 'Sensible Sunderland' that's one theory. But have you ever considered the possibility that a lad from North Shields may just genuinely be a passionate Newcastle fan? We all know deep down why Sam Fender tortures their cold, barren souls. They do too. There is simply no other successful mainstream artist in the world who has such an intrinsic connection with a sports team. Newcastle United is synonymous with Sam Fender, he flies our flag everywhere he goes, there'll be Sam Fender fans in America for example who won't have a clue about the PL but they'll like us because of Sam Fender, likewise, his name was on the back of our shirts during our finest hour. Yeah I know the Gallagher brothers are big City fans, Ed Sheeran is balls deep in all things Ipswich and Elton John owns Watford etc but how many Ipswich shirts are you likely to see at an Ed Sheeran concert, how many Watford flags get flown at an Elton John concert? Newcastle and Sam Fender go hand in hand and it sickens the mackems cause they know they don't have anyone or anything that compares nor will they ever. They hate that Geordie culture exists and is well known outside the region. There is no such thing as Mackem culture, everything they do is a tacky imitation of us.

Gutted I didn't get a chance to enjoy the Sam Fender thread, I should've known it'd get Parsnipped! What was the Marrative? "eeys not eyeven a jawday, eeys from fucking Naaf Shaylds"

If true, that's a no brainer. But he has West Ham/Villa written all over him

Taking the piss out of a family enjoying themselves on holiday is fucking lifting patter, embarrassing stuff from DeludedOf. They even missed the open goal to call it an 'eyevnin mayul'

Brilliant post! I really don't understand their fascination with their 6 in a row trophy. Of course I don't begrudge them for enjoying winning against us, but they talk about it as if it was some golden era of mackem dominance. The wider context of those few seasons is that eventhough we were shit and on a death spiral towards eventual relegation, they were even worse for the majority of that time, they were a turd that wouldn't flush. Their MO was to get a new manager bounce in time for the derbies to beat a hapless Newcastle team and then scrape enough points against teams on the beach at the end of the season to stumble over the line. When they look back at that era, who are their heroes? Aside from Defoe, I can't imagine any of those players/managers from that period will be remembered fondly. The highlights of my Newcastle supporting life are winning the LC, qualifying for the CL multiple time and seeing us beat the likes of Barca, Juve & PSG, watching us go on deep runs in the Uefa Cup and seeing genuine world class talents wear our famous colours. Theirs will be what? A nonce scoring against us? A facist manager who they ended up hating sliding on his knees? All while they were scrapeing 17th in the league every season. Fine, let them have it. Also, I had no idea until very recently that we won 4 or 5 or 6 in a row against them or something like that since the turn of the century. I don't remember it ever being a big deal.

"Although he is from North Tyneside" Are they really sticking with the marrative that unless you were born and raised in Leazes Park or Chinatown, you have no right to claim Newcastle as your local team. Sam Fender is a gloryhunting 92er who should be promoting North Shields or Whitley Bay at his gigs and not the mags who are a massive 20 minutes on the Metro away! So let me see if I've got this correct: Newcastle fan from North Shields: Bad Sunderland fans from outside Sunderland city boundaires: Evidence of Sunlun's worldwide appeyel P.S. Sam Fender has done really well to have made it this far despite being boycotted by SGM

Could it be that they hate Sam Fender so much cause he's synonymous with their biggest insecurity? That insecurity being that everybody outside the North East associates the region with geet canny Geordies decked in black and white. As a city and as a club we have our own distinct culture that is well known outside the region. How many southerners could tell you about geordie slang, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, stotties, Gazza, Sam Fender, Brown Ale vs. .......erm......Vaux?........the Nissan plant? I suppose publishing the Mackem Cewkbewk is a good start. But yeah, it goes some way to explaining their bitterness, the inferior half of the rivalry more often than not hates the better side more than the other way round. As much as most of us want their skidmark of a club to perish into the ether where it belongs, I get the feeling that a lot of us don't actually take them that seriously and they're more of a laughing stock than a rival whereas we embody everything they hate and our very existence tortures their cold, black souls. Nothing they can ever do, even winning 6 in a row against us, is ever going to change the fact that they are, always have been and always will be nothing .

Utter Woke Nonsense

I sold an old jacket on eBay and made a profit. I just need to get my consistency up to get to Primark's level.

Never heard of Andrew Musgrove before, but going off that tweet, I assume he's a grifting bullshit merchant? On a scale of reliability from Burnsie to Ornstein, where does this guy sit?

This is kinda what I meant in my earlier post about nobody giving a fuck about England anymore If the golden generation or a Southgate team got pumped rotten by Senegal the same week they stumbled over the line against a country the size of Doncaster there'd be a witch hunt. Now everyone just laughs it off with a "what do you expect, we're fucking shit" kinda attitude. I acknowledge that I live in a Geordie bubble and maybe theres more enthusiasm is parts of the country where their local teams are shit but it does seem like the apathy for the national team has never been higher. How any one can muster the strength seriously give a fuck about England is beyond me

VAR in a friendly = Utter Woke Nonsense International friendlies = Utter Nonsense

Please tell me if I'm reading the room wrong, but it seems like the enthusiasm for the national side is as low as it's ever been for as long as I remember. For me, Tuchels' squad selections killed any enthusiasm for his appointment before it even began. How can I get excited about a brave new era when we're playing the same tired players in the same vanilla formation, employing the same bland tactics. What is Tuchel possibly going to learn by playing the likes of Kane, Walker, Henderson and Gallagher against mickey mouse teams

I'm sure he'll fit right in with their famously tolerant and compassionate fanbase
