Dad, Husband, #NUFC fan and procrastinator. Just to warn you, I’m *very* sweary.

Next project, when parts and mods finally arrive, is to fit a new power board and IPS screen to this beauty, as well as re-capping the main board. Fingers crossed I don’t destroy it! (Not that it’s working at the minute anyway!) gotta love the Game Gear!

To be fair, Yusuf did a lot of that work himself.

At least the Tory on the panel called him out for his empty populist bullshit. Reform will tell you whatever you want to hear to get your vote. They’ll never deliver it though, as we have seen across the country with their councils.

I’m wavering. I’m not convinced enough to fully sign up, but I could be swayed to vote for them. They just need more credible candidates. Last time round our Green candidate was not someone I could’ve voted for. We live in a proper swing seat, feels like other parties don’t bother here.

Oh my Christ, Yusuf is wittering on about Motability now.

Is it swans next? Are swan murders costing us billions next?

I’m not even a Green Party member, but Polanski is the only one offering solutions instead of blathering shite in the defence of rich people to stop them having to pay 1% extra in tax

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 4h

Pretty much. He’s spent half his time slagging off the tories because it’s clear as day Reform are just trying to hoover up their voters and replace them.

“Ooh why do you resort to ad hominem attacks?” I’ll tell you why, Annabel, because disingenuous faux intellectual fucks like you just simper on and pretend you’re intelligent when all you are is a spineless shite who offers nothing to further the discussion beyond snivelling point scoring.

Zia Yusuf: “this is the closest we’ve come to an enduring peace in the Middle East in my lifetime”

Because Israel have razed Gaza to the ground? Fuckin twat. Spaffing his load up Marco Rubio’s chuff every time he opens his gob. Just fuck off to Fox News already, lad.

He’s such an awful man. I’ve only watched the first ten minutes so far and he’s said “6 million immigrants” about 40 times already. Got no answers, just divisive noise.

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 4h

Wait. Did that Torygraph journalist just try to argue that pointing out Jenrick said something awful and racist is a bad thing because it will make other racist people turn to racists like Tommeh Ten Names?!

Fuck off, man

I’ll look it up, cheers. I knew that it wasn’t a merger of the two clubs like it’s often described as, but I thought East End had ‘absorbed’ the remnants of WE when they went bust rather than they just moved into the ground and WE and its players/staff had no further involvement

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 7h

Interesting read, thanks.

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 7h

Of not ok*

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 7h

Matter ok semantics really though, isn’t it? NUFC as a ‘legal’ entity or whatever was formed in 1892.

I get your point though, the two precursor clubs should play a more prominent part in any club history discussions than they do

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 8h

Yeah but NUFC aren’t Newcastle East End. Newcastle United was formed in 1892, not sure why that ones annoying tbh

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 8h

Makes us sound shitter

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 17h

In all for it if it means these ghoulish bastards breed themselves into oblivion

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 17h

Not a clue

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 17h

Looks like he’s going for the “ooh he’s a character, we need more of them in politics” JRM model of shitbaggery.

Be a bit posh and weird and you’ll be forgiven/ignored for also being a horrendous piece of shit

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 18h

Either by Tripps becoming that sort of squad/backup option, or another versatile defender coming in who could play either side

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 18h

Pope and Tripps. Pretty sure Schar is already in talks for his annual extension as well

Trippier is getting on, but he’s still fit and adds a wealth of experience to the squad. Can see him getting another year or two.

I like Krafth, but I think he’ll move on and be replaced

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 20h

Can’t do that either for the same reasons, could only play him in the carabao cup games. Absolutely no point.

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 20h

See, here lies the problem with modern sports journalism - in the rush for clicks, facts go out the window. Even if we did sign Renan Lodi, who the clickbait headline refers to, he couldn’t play for us until January as we have named a ‘full’ squad for the PL and CL! tbrfootball.com/renan-lodi-c...

Renan Lodi can solve Newcastle injury woes - and Fabrizio Romano says he won't cost a penny

This would be a smart signing from the Magpies 👀

Looks positively miserable, Bob.

Chris F @geordiechrisf.bsky.social · 1d

Wait. He was at *Marylebone* and the word he struggles with most was ‘high’?!
