The NRA would welcome you with open arms. It's not the gun that is the problem but the person wielding it.

:lol: I can think of some posters who probably weren’t.

If we're doing school nicknames... there was a chap nicknamed Acid - partly due to his initials (HCL) and partly due to his recreational activities. Another needed no nickname at all; his name was John Thomas (who would do that to their kid?). Separately, I have a mate who made a plane(-ish)...

A long time ago I worked for a plastic widget manufacturer. One of the women on the factory floor was called Jane. When I was introduced to her, she asked me to call her Wookey.

Hodgson and Bielsa are filmed with big Sam in a restaurant pre-game discussing how best to fix a 2-2 draw. Hodgson is filmed briefing Parish on the tactics; Parish confirms his agreement to the plan. Palace are 2-0 up with 5 to play. Bamford falls over 5 yards outside the box; VAR determines...

Time for a few people to step back from the edge, I think. It's game day, people. Enjoy!

It’s your thread. Would you like me to lock it?

I’ve never understood the ‘deluded Geordie’ tag as an epithet either. Sure, you have some deluded individual fans, but no more than any other club - including us. As a group, I’d describe Toon fans as passionate, knowledgeable, frustrated, and great fun - but absolutely not deluded.

Newcastle is a brilliant away day/weekend. Great city, knowledgeable and non-aggressive fans, proper football ground (but oh, those steps), girls wearing basically nothing. The only downside for me is the distance, and I say that in the knowledge that I live 70 miles closer than most Albion...

On your first point: Booo. That was my first thought as a response too. On your second: There’s pretty good evidence that a man called Jesus existed at the time and place that the bible says, and that some contemporaries thought he was the Christ. See...

By claiming that the suggestion you had shoe-horned a Brexit angle into your OP was ‘unfair’ and that you weren’t being didactic, when it’s clear that you did and you were. Of course your Twitter feed is publicly available information when you make it available on your NSC profile. As for...

Your protestations of innocence would be more credible if your Twitter handle strapline didn’t have the hashtag ‘FBPE’ in it. Hence the decision to move this didactic thread posted by a disingenuous OP to the bear pit.

I would have said 'zero'. Sometimes it's good to be wrong.

Just watched Izquierdo's goal again off the back of your post. Magnificent. On song, he's quite the player - I miss him.

Bridcutt and Dunk in the 6-1 defeat in the cup game in 2011? 2012?

A 1-0 win at home against a ropey Spurs with our players turning in what our manager says is the best performance this season, and suddenly we think we can turn over the current league champions away with Salah on fire? Blimey charlie. Yes, we could win; but it's much more likely that we'll...

Maybe so, but it would only take 5 minutes.

I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say that we've actually turned the corner just yet. Perhaps we've stuck our head around it to see whether we like what's up that street - I'm hoping that the players decide they prefer mid-table road to relegation cul-de-sac.

That’s pretty much what Tony’s invested. He could sell the squad and get his money back. Selling the training ground to a DIY superstore and the ground for redevelopment as a hotel would be pure profit. :whistle:
