You didn't lock it though Livvy did you?
It's weird. Surely we can talk about other teams. Maybe one of the mods pressed a button by accident. Apparently Ross's arse is always pressing buttons and moving levers by accident whenever he's in the control room. He doesn't even know he's doing it half the time.
It was Livvy. I unlocked.
Livvy - please don't abuse your mod powers again.
Livvy - please don't abuse your mod powers again.
ok Fabs.
You really need to develop another hobby Fabs.
I do things on here between dungeons on skyrim or matches on fifa. Tbh my schedule is pretty hectic.
I really do try to visualize you all in a real control room, sort of like Andy Townsend's old caravan.
Tbh it's cramped when me and ross clock in
I honestly have no hand in this - seriously. I have not changed any mods' avatars.
I didn't want to say.
You'd struggle to catch the breath to say it if you get in the mod-truck*
*Not rapey
You know saying "not rapey" doesn't make it ok, don't you?
Tell that to my clear police record
Must be great fun in the pub with the mods.
"Look at the tits on your one"
"Fuck sake man, we talked about her three months ago, I know you weren't here, but you know the rules, we can't talk about her again"
"But..."
"No butts either, we talked about them six months ago"

Since the other thread is locked i'll put this in here, i believe Newcastle's relative success so far this season has come down to the vast majority of their squad having that 'winning mentality' and players with exposure to Europe's elite competitions and International tournaments:

The majority of them are minor titles. Everyone in our squad has won a trophy too. But I agree with the general point that we need a few more winners in the team.
