Comment #6A carton of stubbies. A slab of tins or tinnies. A long neck or tallie is a large bottle. A midsize glass (285ml) is a middy or a pot. A large glass (425ml) a schooner. A pony is a small glass favored by old fellas, usually sat at the bar for hours on end mulling over the form guide. Rare to get a pint, the beer being cold and the weather of course hot. The first beery, on a hot summers day, doesn’t touch the sides.

Comment #9One of Munter’s exam questions:
There were three shits in a toilet bowl and when flushed only one went away. How much of the original amount was left in the bowl?
Munter’s reply ……. Two turds.

Comment #10CAG
Took my eldest to Brentford game when she was four in the Gallowgate. She loved it and went back for the West Ham game. She’s seven now and loves going. My youngest is now five and she’s desperate to go the look on her face will be something I’ll never forget. I don’t get to go that often as I live not too far from Tom so it’s a long day. Plus not going again until FCB has gone.

Comment #11It’s true , once takeover arrives we just need to forget about Ashley, Ashley who pft block him from our history put a black mark against his name and enjoy what’s ahead . Look to the future . Mind what I’m reading out there is a lot of folk are jealous, be nice to put two fingers up to all them villa fans the unwashed and especially gonna love the usual suspects on sky and bt having to speak of good things of Newcastle United . Before long we will be the top united . Not man united , Newcastle United . United again . United against the haters , back to everyone’s favourite second club , plus Newcastle is gonna be the place everyone will want to visit . It’s written in the stars . Amanda knows what we love , and you know she has sold this idea to the rest , Get Newcastle buzzing again and invest in Newcastle and watch it come alive again , once dormant , reborn again . A toon in the 90s now at this time in our life is worth a coupe of billion …….and don’t they know this . Some of the best decision makers making Newcastle the best again , Live it enjoy it . It’s happening…

Comment #19Pochettino will no doubt feel like he has unfinished business wid Spuds. However Pochettino is very young still (48) but doesnt mean once he’s gone to the Toon he doesnt fall in love wid the fans, geordies, club like Rafa did.

Comment #20Jib good point re journos in newcastle. In lock down, there was no reason to get the opinions of two random locals about this. An unnecessary waste of money apart from also getting cameras on the club, also not strictly necessary.

Comment #24Poch was my no1 pick for the job. Think he’s gone behind Rafa and allegri now.
He’s got spuds in his blood, and christ he’s boring when he talks. His team talks would send you to sleep.
But
I’ll still be happy if we get him.

Comment #30One manager I’d love is Bielsa but can see him leaving Leeds, especially if they get promoted.
Talking of Leeds there has been talk of Leeds being either taking over by QSI or they will heavily invest.
Double f@#kin standards considering they own PSG surely thats a conflict of interest?

Comment #33Ctommo@24….sorry but in this instance your not right… He’s Been given a long leash on Bt tonight and gas been interesting to listen to…. He truly believes if he’d been given a little longer he’d have produced a title for Spurs and I believe him.
He quoted Sir Alex and how long he was given and look what happened there… But most of all he blesses people world wide for fighting the present virus….. Sound guy…
