Do you have any links?
Thanks CAM.
This is scary and unbelievable in equal measure. I thought he would fade away following the post-election debacle, but my understanding is that he will return for another shot at being re-elected and given the gullibility of many Americans and the drop in Biden's popularity, has a good chance of fulfilling his ambition of becoming Putin's stooge.
One comment from the BBC
"Gordon Simpson: Best thing to happen to the club since Bobby Robson was appointed. We've had 14 years of suffering and now if feels like we finally can lift our heads up and breathe. It's a huge relief. I don't care if they buy the best players in the world, I just want us not to be fighting to stay in the Premier League every year."
14 years? I've just looked in their Trophy Cabinet and apart from winning the 2nd Division and The Texaco Cup a couple of times I can't see anything in there from the past 50+ years. In fact I think Newcastle United have been a 'big club' all my life without ever winning anything. Actually I tell a lie, as I liked their kit as a kid I had a Newcastle United Subbuteo team and I think they won the league I played in with my cousins![]()
