    Ferguson's 'Leading' book.

    Borrowed this from a mate, wouldn't give the fucker himself a shekel but have to say it's a fascinating read. Worth a look providing you can get a morally inconspicuous copy. In all honesty it's the most literate football book i've ever read - but then I suppose he can afford the best...

    Boomerangs

    I've just found one this evening. None of my Faceshite mates have a clue and youtube seems a bit vague. It's light as fuck, reckon it's at least 30 years old and in the classic style - anyone reckon it'll fly???? Perhaps only York beer festival will find out tomorrow......

    Season Manifesto & Pointless Predictions

    1) Not a penny to the club 2) Never a penny to SD or our reprehensible shirt sponsor 3) Awaydays: only for the sauce; anyone in a Wshirt needs lambasting 4) Thus - you cannot support the team without supporting the regime 5) NUFC is the North Korea of media openness - don't believe a word That...

    Mbemba

    Kid's a class act according to plenty of Anderlecht fans on Reddit. Reckon he's a steal at that price - Kompany mark II to vaguely quote one. Classy player capable of taking charge, dictating play and not shy of the tough stuff. Now where have I heard all of that...

    Site being slow

    I don't know if anyone else has this issue but every time I type a comment on a thread (and I know how to type) it get's all gammy and slow and start missing out letters. I'm running a decent laptop most of the time on here, and haven't any Russians looking to steal my billions as far as I...

    Boro vs Norwich

    Will be rooting for Middlesbrough tomorrow. Even though we know it isn't really a derby, it's just some dirty people further down the coast, it might at least cost us a point or two next season when our overhyped superstars get guffed by a team of players none of them will ever heard of. As...

    The General Election

    The least thrilling but most hyped in my voting life (a mere four...). I find it quite amusing checking out the Daily Mail and their sodden efforts to lambast Miliband, even lurching as low to show photos of him as a speccy geek in his youth. Pack of you know whats. As in York - safe as fuck...

    This seasons biggest underachiever.

    Considering the current state of the club underachievement should really be a merit - but who's the biggest waster at the club? Not just being shite - lord knows there's enough of that - but being an utter kidder? For me it has to be Cabella, hasn't got the spine for the step up. De-Jong a...

    Yoga

    NUFC is fucked this season so here's another off topic post: Couple of my mates have gotten into it recently and the results are - seemingly - amazing. Even improves one of their pool games by current results. By no means am I a knacker but hitting mid thirties it's time to maybe think about...

    Suicidal Pilots

    Appears the co-pilot crashed that plane on purpose. Of course that makes him an abject **** but it happened. So what next? Given that the drones we fly over barren, war torn deserts are partially flown from some base near Vegas, wouldn't a decent safeguard be to install similar technology onto...

    George Orwell - IS

    Nothing interesting at NU Direct so how about this. Orwell chucked it all in to join the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. Is there any difference between what he did and those ex-service types who fling themselves (self funded) to joining Pershmerga et al? Open question - obviously he was...

    The Good Fight

    We hate Ashley? Check. We hate what NUFC has become? Check. We've sold out in every possible regard? Check. We employ 'heroes' who are stooges? Check. We milk imagery like Shearer, Robson et al. Check. We still believe that the NE is a 'hotbed' of the game? Check. It's a gonna, RIP NUFC...

    Spock

    Never really got into Trek but a pity to hear that Nimoy has croacked it at the fine age of 83. Attributed it to years as a heavy smoker despite quitting thirty years back. Time to lean to the vape fellas! Live long and prosper.....

    What's The Best/Closest Arrest You've Ever Had?

    Astonishingly quiet here so there's a question to open it up. Mine would be thanks to my brother demanding to see 'the King' after a few days on the pop and another convincing defeat to Celtic in the SFA final over a decade ago. It was 5am - and a squaddie opened the massive gates to Edinburgh...

    Just finished watching this for the first time in a couple of decades. The best thing ever filmed in Sheffield after the World Snooker Championships.

    Andy Murray - **** Or Not?

    In my limited experience Tennis is second only to badminton as being a sport for c*nts. However I make an exception when it comes to Murray, not just because he was born a few miles away from me but I like his character, fighting spirit and swearing fiancée. Don't get me wrong he's a ****...

    Fighting Threads

    Apologies for starting a new thread about something that has been mentioned on/invaded plenty of threads recently but figured it might be an idea as an 'occasional' poster to point out a couple of things. * We aren't Romans or Vikings any longer. There's no sport in fighting, in fact it's for...

    Hyms

    As mentioned In a prior thread, I've little time for religious gob-shite at this time or anytime. This however makes the world seem better (ps - fuck the god stuff if it ain't you're kettle} Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers...

    New Years in Toon

    Rather unexpectedly it turns out I'm at liberty this new years and considering a trip to catch up with a few pals. Been away a while so I'd be glad if anyone on here can recommend decent, central boozers. Won't be walking so just one will do. Crown Posada for me, but it's been a while.

    So this is what we have become.

    Been away a few days and catching up now with the latest on the board. Banter falls short of a description, now it's personal animosity and - quite frankly - keyboard warriorship that seems to have become the order of the day on far too many posts. Sums up the condition of our side, and the...
