I thought a Foxback stamp. Not that I know the person or his dogs, just from seeing pictures on here. Cracking looking types for work.

I watched the Manchester derby today. United and City being 2 of the greatest clubs in the EPL era. Absolute dross from both of them. It really is a funny old game.

I remember him. Remember my man and dad loving him. Seemed odd at the time as he was a "coloured" gentleman. When it comes to sport and winning medals... all are appreciated.

Lost all interest after the Waterloo Cup was taken away from us. The Grand National was a side show run up to the cup.

Another one that came to mind on seeing this thread... Frank Bruno winning a heavyweight title in 1995. People may scuff, and young lads may not know that no British boxer had held the title in that century. Lennox Lewis had a belt but he had not won it in the ring. Went the distance, when the words were said AND THE NEW, HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD! we partied like it was 1999.

Not a great historical moment but on reading the topic title David Beckham's free kick against Greece in a 2002 World Cup qualifier came to mind. We needed a point for automatic qualification. 1-2 down at 90+ minutes and everyone was accepting a play-off place when Beckham took the free kick from outside 18 yard box. When the ball hit the back of the net the euphoric celebrations were as though we had won the World Cup! Obviously we didn't go on to actually win the cup. Another memory from that day. Watched the game in the Adelphi pub in Newcastle with a friend who also the managing dire

Newcastle's current midfield are a joy to watch. I hate to see players getting the ball and then look up to decide what to do with it. Looking at their team mates to say "who wants it?". Often resulting in a side or back pass. Bruno and Tonali read the game a second before the mere mortals around them see it. Sean Longstaff is terrible for it. In his defence, the Newcastle sides that he has played in and managers he has played under during his formative years would play most of the game without the ball. In possession players were terrified to lose it, and losing possession would bring mo

The Parson John Russell came across the the most perfect terrier that he had ever seen, and he purchased that terrier, and that dog's name was Trump. Can we all just calm down a little bit?
-
I agree with all that you have written. My point was, Tonali will become one of the greats, hopefully at Newcastle, but he will do it. That goal was not a fluke. Zen like

The Kraken has woken. Seriously though, Sandro Tonali is the only truly world class player that we have had since Shearer, however much I rate the others. Will be interesting to see if the Arabs can keep him.
-
Newcastle v Brentford yesterday. Sandro Tonali. All the talk this year has been about Isak, and who is going to buy him. Last year it was Gordon. The year before it was Bruno. Players too good to remain at Newcastle. We shall see. But Tonali? Watching him this season, he is the one who no matter what happens at Newcastle, he will win medals, league cups, Champions League, Italy will be winning cups with him. The player of his generation.

A skilled breeder can recreate the phenotype in the most basic definition of phenotype in a few generations. The phenotype of most British breeds was never lost, so no reason to recreate them.

I do like THL. In the real world most lads that I have known tend not too be interested in how the dogs that we love came about other than the immediate ancestry. Some are not even bothered too much about that, if it works that is all that matters. If it doesn't, get rid and try another :-). I get that but do find the history behind what we now have interesting. Relevant pedigree and ancient history being very different things of course. But I have always been a nerd when it comes to working dogs. When it comes to the history part I have a theory, and I know how much working dog lads love

I posted this on the Trump thread. I get confused.

Did you work them Aycliffe-F?

Whippets and whippet crosses develop mentally and physically quicker than the larger types. Very terrier like. Probably that's why I have always like them. But they need time to grow. Seen some flying by 12 month old and then keeling over way too soon.

An estimated 300,000+ took to the streets of Newcastle yesterday to celebrate winning a football match. The majority of those being white working class men. PS. I do not know the facts but apparently some Newcastle councillors where desperately fighting to prevent the victory celebrations from going ahead on the streets and wanted it confined to the ticket only event on the Town Moor. The very fact that they thought that they could stop it is evident of how little understanding or empathy they have of the people who they proclaim to serve.

Q) Can you run faster than a lion? A) I do not need to run faster than a lion, I only need to run faster than my bloke.

For we are mental, for we are mad!

Being broadcast live on UTube nufctv. 10,000's of daft Geordies out on the streets. Great stuff!!!

Jeremy Wade... I enjoy his programmes. He investigates ancient legend to account for people going missing around the world. Catches a fresh water fish no bigger than a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the ancient myth has been solved. They just kill each other and chuck the body in the water.

My thoughts exactly. Most countries have experienced invasion, losing wars, revolution, changing borders. Those that have come through that type of tragedy and hardship cherish what they now have. GB, or at least those who have ruled us since the latter half of the 20th century are complacent and have no idea or appreciation of what we had/have and never had the brains or courage to defend it.

The word narrative. I have no problem with the word, my pet hate is that almost every journalist or reporter uses the word in every verbal or written report now. Sport, current affairs, news, local news. Why?
