If Sessko opts for the Toon instead of Man U, then the Toon Army will be able to sing "Sessko turned you down" at Old Trafford for the next 30 years. A scary prospect.

Of course not, it is down to greedy players, and unscrupulous agents, Over the years I have seen it all 70 yes watching nufc, now the game is totally ruined, gone. Is Izak worth 150mil, don't be silly, no player on earth is.......plus the fact he is injury prone.πŸ€πŸ–€πŸ˜

From my little book of British Birds, I recognised this little chap, as a 'Mistle Thrush' a reminder that Summertime has arrived in the U.K. Of course I already it's name, as it told me on the base, next to 'Made in Tiawan' But up for sale in a Charity Shop for 50p what Cud ah Dee but buy him....πŸ¦β€β¬›β™₯️

Out early today to catch the Sun, fortunately it soon arrived, just as well, as these. Flowers are much too beautiful to stay closed don't you think ?

'Sunday Thoughts'
With the cricket season
Suddenly upon us
My memory kindly recalls
Those long Summer days
Of my boyhood
And White Washed wickets
On Gable end walls.

A player like Dan Burn, is quite unique, no silky skills or fancy tricks, but a massive influence on this Newcastle side both in defence and up front.
The new England manager obviously recognises his qualities.

Sorry but not for me, I would much prefer Gerrard Bowen but persuading W.Ham to part would be difficult, Bowen reminds me a lot of "Super Mac's from the 70s ( Perhaps before your time) My first game at S.J.P. was way back in 1950.

So a president of the U.S.A. describes the prospect of a end to the Ukraine/ Russian war in which Thousands of lives have been lost by saying " Wouldn't that be beautiful, beautiful"
Try telling the countless bereaved on both sides that.
Shameful choice of words.

If the fans are so vital to the clubs success on the field, then why are they not rewarded by reduced admission prices ???

Whoever can answer those questions, and come up with a solution to turn years of defeats into victories then it's time to wave your magic wand.

WHY would NUFC want another Dud squib, I'd rather have Billy Whitehurst, Bobby Shinton, or Billy Rafferty back at SJP.
