I know. Point is you knew who it was and any commentator worth his salt would too. I don't know, the square patches were player issue only and there lies the problem because kids will want names and numbers on their shirts as well so an inbuilt square would be a better option but if you want a shirt you either get a number or walk around with a blank patch on your back, (loads do and I just don't get why they would?)

I don't think it's just a UEFA thing. It's because every single match is televised these days though, so the white background for a number makes sense for the millions watching worldwide, which trumps the 50 odd thousand watching in the ground.

Paul Goddard had a white square under his number 9 tbf (2nd season)

My PE teacher told me about Robledo when I was at school. He was from Wallsend and I was the only Newcastle fan in the school. Not a surprise unlike now where loads of bairns support different teams. But he told me about him and when I asked my uncle about him one weekend when I was in Newcastle, you should have seen my uncles face. He looked chuffed I had asked about him.

I agree about the square but the fucks given about people struggling to make out the name and number? This is where your sky fans come into it, never bothered anyone years ago till the squad name/number thing came about. If Paul Goddard was through on goal I wasn't in any doubt it was Paul Goddard or whoever for the opposition, and if it was someone you didn't know from another side a quick 'who scored for them?' would give you an answer from some random fan.

Good video about why the cool guitar kids have a sampler. Endless entertainment.

70s easy listening act

It is outrageous around here. The trend of Uni lasses to wear 90s-lite outfits works almost like a todger time machine as well.

DISGUSTING.

TBH as much as I'd want stripes on the back, it's never been easy to decipher the numbers from any sort of distance. It should be no more than a plain square big enough to just accommodate the number though - the whole back being a plain colour is shit.

Didn't SMO claim someone started working with him called Manmeet Gobla?

When I got my first job there were two of us that started, me and a Chinese kid called Hoo Yee. The old sweats would shout his name in my direction but the Chinese cunt always sloped off on the sly so I had to do his work. Also once worked with an Indian-Geordie who used to be a submariner in the RN, canny kid was Gandeep Undawatta.

He was the classic moocher.

Aye, not sure anyone will miss Arteta. Arsenal are such a weird team, it feels like they let their desire for some sort of methodological purity get the better of their desire to win. No matter what they're doing, what style they're playing, they're rigid as fuck with it.

The whelm is definitely on the underside. Whatever happens from now on we're never getting stripes back on the back which is frankly a fucking disgrace but uefa have made it so, so any team with European ambitions either gets on board or has a a domestic shirt and a European version.

So is this is a chink of light in the darkness?… thing that’s stopped me voting green is nuclear but if someone could just expose the enormous amount fossil fuel lobbyists bung politicians and media to continue net zero lies in the way that the water companies have been exposed am all for it https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/07/greens-reform-populists-left-zack-polanski?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

I just want top 5, but 2nd would be hilarious. Even close to Arsenal would be embarrassing for them in my opinion giving this is our worst season in a while. Anfield will be bouncing when Arsenal go there, can definitely see the possibility of any result. I think Arsenal will get torn apart. Then it's in your hands, beat a broken Arsenal and you can finish above them. Arsenal: 67 - Liverpool (A), Newcastle (H), Southampton (A) Man City: 64 - Southampton (A), Bournemouth (H), Fulham (A) Newcastle: 63 - Chelsea (H), Arsenal (A), Everton (H) Chelsea: 63 - Newcastle (A), Man Utd (H), Nottingham Forest (A) Nottingham Forest: 61 - Leicester (H), West Ham (A), Chelsea (H) Aston Villa: 60 - Bournemouth (A), Tottenham (H), Man Utd (A) My dream final table City 73 - win all 3 You 70 - draw with Chelsea and win the other 2. Villa 69 - win all 3 Chelsea 68 - beat Man United and draw with you and Forest. Forest 68 - draw with Chelsea and win the other 2. Arsenal 68 - lose to you and liverpool and bottle it to draw with southampton when needing to win ideally these results will be fuelled by some dodgy refereeing and awful VAR calls. legohead gets sacked

When I had my rope access business we took in a Chinese lad as an apprentice but had to let him go as he couldn’t handle the exposure. Still, I’ll always remember Wai Tu Hii fondly.

There's a chinese bloke hogs the last tune after last orders, it's always Huan Song before closing.

I only made it to through the first stages, the Elton John level 1. Level 2 ABBA did for me on the first song, Tikka Chance on Me.

He couldn’t- that was the problem.

Keep up.

Quiff can recommend something for that.
