Right - I saw him interviewed on telly one day when we'd just beaten Man U at Roker and he was grinning from ear to ear through-out the whole interview. (I think it was the game when Ferguson rested Beckham in the days before players were rested, but might be mixing that up.)
Id be pleased not to be in the champions league. Seen the clip of the new format? Didnt think they could cheapen it any more than they already have. What a ****ing mess!
Savage is an idiot. He pulled out and goes nowhere near his head. Defender cheating. Never a card had to go For the ball
Pub on Saturday I was playing (Flass Inn, Ushaw Moor) there was one. He was “yeah but you were only playing Leeds” when I pointed out that Leeds squad cost 90m+ and Newcastle’s, compared to those they’d failed to beat *(other than city) cost masss, he then went on the “yeah but almiron was our record signing” and started saying they didn’t spend money before the Saudis. I then asked how much Joelinton cost, he said “£40m why?” When I sprained that Mike Ashley was the owner he started trying to argue! They are literally all the same!
OUCH "Newcastle United haven’t lifted a domestic trophy since 1955 and they haven’t been champions since 1927, the year before Dixie Dean netted 60 in a season. Like their kit, the Magpies glory days were back in an era of black and white. Even before the Toon Army embraced the lucre of the sovereign wealth fund of the House of Saudi though, they have attempted to cultivate a reputation that is rather more inflated than what their team has ever done. Put bluntly by the home crowd on Saturday night: “F*ck all, you’ve never won f*ck all.” "When Newcastle’s supporters descended upon Wembley for last year’s Carabao Cup final, many broadcasters would have kidded you into thinking they were the only success-starved outfit with a major fanbase, even though unlike most major conurbations outside of the capital such as Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Nottingham and Bristol, they’re a one-club city." https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spo...rton-chant-exposed-newcastle-reality-30083059
Toon morale seems to be slipping back to Ashley levels. Apparently "Tourists and Southerners" are taking their ticket allocations, ruining the atmosphere at Sid James and messing up their flags. Eddie oot
