    I'd set them up for life and if they ****ed it up, they'd better not come running to me <laugh>

    Only kidding. That book sounds interesting actually.

    The thing is Plum, you'd think that wouldn't you?

    But in reality it's a bit of a struggle on 20M.


    Have you seen the price of a kilo of hummingbird's tongues?


    And when your third spare Lambo needs a complete respray to match the colour of the Missus' new collar and cuffs highlights, then that'll set you back more than you'd think anarl.


    Gold plating the bathroom furniture throughout all the en-suites wasn't cheap either.


    It never ****ing ends!



    I'm struggling to make ends meet ya knaa. I really am.






    I've a Go Fund Me page if anyone feels inclined.


    Your call.

    Done that.


    But had to knock the wall down between the second den and the jacuzzi annex in order to reposition me armchair.


    The costs never end.

    Sorry Den, but this is what I've become.


    Reduced to using Americanisms to try to impress.


    I mean of course one of the reception rooms which is decorated in a less formal style and used as a space whereby we can pursue our leisure activities in private and relaxed surroundings.


    Only we can't anymore 'cos I've knocked through to enhance the perspective on the Ultimate Cinematic Experience System we've installed.






    I don't think that the ordinary folk appreciate just how stressful life can be for the super rich.

    My point exactly, I have been to games in China, and the whole experience in IMO, when you been used to working in the atmosphere in Europe, is underwhelming, to say the least. However, I guess until he has experienced it he will not know, and obviously, the money was the magnet.

    Maybe he see's working with second rate players as the challenge, you know striving to get the best out of them and reaching a level of performance only dreamt of.






    Nah its the money.

    Steve Bruce has reportedly asked Sheffield Wednesday chairman & owner Dejphon Chansiri, to be allowed to speak to Newcastle about becoming their new manager. (via @_pauljoyce)

    Steve Bruce met Lee Charnley in Manchester yesterday and talks went well. #nufc trying to sort out compensation with #swfc today and get a deal done by the weekend. Bruce will take Agnew & Clemence with him to Newcastle.

    Personally, I think Bruce is a terrible appointment for Newcastle, I doubt he'll make it to the end of the season.

    The fans on Twitter aren't happy, expect the sales of cabbages to increase up on Tyneside.

    Maybe last 6 months and then get a decent payoff.

    I feel a bit sorry for Bruce really. He's not a bad manager, a bit old school maybe in a world of Klopp's & Guardiola's.. but he's done alright wherever he's gone.

    He always said it would be a dream for him one day to manage Newcastle. I think he was once offered it before but didnt want a reputation of leaving clubs every time a better offer came along, so he turned them down.

    He might just be what they need.

    I've just been reading the #swfc posts, not much love for 'the useless fat ****' on there today.

    I particularly liked this one - '**** off Mike Ashley and your 4 pairs of Slazenger socks for £2.99'. <laugh>

    If Bruce does get the job, I hope he does ridiculously well.

    Newcastle’s move for Steve Bruce has hit a snag, as Sheffield Wednesday hold out for a fee far greater than Newcastle originally expected. The Owls are holding out for significantly more for him & his assistants #NUFC

    Bruce could make Sheffield w £100m if he got them promoted, and he has a good record of it in the championship. He will not make Mike Ashley £100m, so yes, I can see a snag.
