We only ever ate fish and chips in the Magpie once. It was poor. (Mind you, it was just after the lengthy closure they’d had some years back.)
There are better places in Whitby.
The Fisherman’s Second Wife (think that’s the name) has served us well. It had some super OAP deals and a decent view.
Dunno how things are now. Must be pre-covid since our last visit to Whitby.

Fisherman’s Wife at the battery Les. More family oriented and I think it closes early evening (we never pig out at lunchtime). Trenchers on the harbour was advertising itself as the National winners of best F&C.

Mind you we went up to Fife last year to visit the so called best in Scotland and it was very average.

Had Haddock & Chips in the famous Magpie in Whitby earlier this week (always a queue!).

Got to buy your mushy peas separately these days mind, but still top scran.

Is the Ball Retriever a bona-fide Kennel Club breed or a cross between a Pointer and a Pit Bull?

Difficult to learn the lessons of history when you make it up yourself.

Course it doesn’t matter who you play, it’s just nice to see them tested against higher opposition, all clubs normally do it.

Premier League teams don’t/can’t.

That’s why they tour abroad. Sunderland play South Shields and Gateshead then go to the Algarve but they still don’t know who they’ll be playing. Most likely Portuguese second tier clubs. Then they play Hearts for Craig Gordon’s testimonial, followed by a visit to the Mudrats and finishing with Real Betis at SoL.

I don’t think our pre-season budget will stretch to a continental tour just yet unless the Irish Iron lads can arrange for another run out against Finn Harps.

I want to know how Chelsea got the nod over clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal & Man Utd?

[Northumbiron]

The Heed’s attendance has risen by over 50% in recent years!

[Northumbiron]

As a former schoolteacher I can’t condone it. £3,200 fine not enough.

Staff can’t just go off on holiday in term time. Really used to piss me off and still does.

[Northumbiron]

31 degrees Celsius in Arenal d’en Castell today AWG.

I’d go for something in linen myself.

And what’s your grandson doing on holiday in school term time?

[Northumbiron]

FFS! Not this again?

Are we going on a pre-season tour of the Far East?

Keeper, RB, LB CH x2, CM x2, LM, LW

Bloody Hell, Rene! We’re not Chelsea.

Keeper two midfielders and a utility defender should do.

In this modern world of 24/7 social media posts Joe Public has developed an attitude of self-entitlement regarding access to information.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false as long as they get it ASAP. And that’s not just on football forums!

Some of us remember when it wasn’t official until you read it in the Evening Telegraph, or your Uncle had been in the clubhouse at Forest Pines.

CMC

[Northumbiron]

Agree with BLT. Wholehearted player but probably too lightweight for the next level up.

Certainly Clunan and Scales in CMF wouldn’t have the opposition quaking in their boots.

Looks a classy joint.

NOT!

I would hope it’s Whitehall/ Howe partnership with Carlton out wide and Dawson partnering Clunan. Beck for Whitehall for certain matches and when he’s injured or needs resting. Certainly promising.

Please don’t use the words ”Beck” & “promising” in the same sentence.

[Northumbiron]

As long as he’s not George Weah’s cousin!

[Northumbiron]

Often promoted vs demoted on the opening day.

So Iron v Morecambe is my guess.

Would have had a better ring to it if we’d signed Anthony from Man Utd!

[Northumbiron]

I read he was “moved” from a London steakhouse t’other night.

[Northumbiron]

Pah! We had Sir Ian Botham years ago.

Will Liz be turning up?
