"I speak mackem very well. I learn it from a bewk."

Right, now combine with mine and sort out my dialect for @Gemmill 👍

FYP

They might be right about the Bilbao connection mind. I can't help but see the Spanish connection in Renton's version of a mackem accent. The passyen. The stedyium.

I dunno, makes perfect sense if you read what he really said. "“What is a club in any case? Not the sheyds or the peyple in maroon pants who are peyd to represent it. It’s not the television contracts in the third division marra, nar get-out clauses we didn’t have for that Jack Rodwell, not the non-existent marketing departments or executive boxes, ‘cos we have none. It’s not the noise, the passyen, or the feeling of belonging, neither, none of that. The pride in your city lolz. It’s a small boy clambering up stedyium steps for the very first time, on his free school ticket, gawping at the litter on that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, singing “falling in love” by Elvis marra and claiming it as wors”.

Supposing he was for argument’s sake. Only they would take that as a win, given he became our record goalscorer and won three fa cups

I don't have to get up at all during the night..... Yet. I'm sure it's in the post.

My mam used to work with the bassist out of the Toy Dolls. He was in the civil service. For some reason she got me a signed photo of the band. I mean this was probably 1989, 5 years after they'd had their sole UK hit and this cheeky cunt was handing out signed photos at his job in the civil service.

It's how many times you must go for a piss in the night more like.

“What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.” That makes fuck all sense in the context of SAFC tbh.

He talked openly on several occasions about his Dad taking him to SJP as a kid and how he wishes he had been around when he got the manager's job. This obsession they have in terms of geography and who you must support as a result of it is fucking insane. There's a lot of suggestion that Jackie Milburn grew up supporting Sunderland. He discretely would never be drawn on it and would divert conversation around it so I've always presumed that, despite being Ashington born a bred, there was probably some truth to it - in spite of geographical location.

Aye, they should come out to local music themselves. I suggest Nelly the Elephant by the toy dolls or John Kettley is a weatherman by tribe of toffs. 👍

That'll be those camels, famous for not needing to drink water?

If we're wanting to secure any of these players we need to stop low-balling at 75% of a club's valuation of their player. Seems to be our default starting point, and it's not working. Was Pedro ever a serious consideration? I read somewhere that he was our backup plan in 2022 if we failed to secure Isak and that is why the deal stalled and ultimately collapsed. If there's even a modicum of truth to that I can appreciate why, three years down the line, he's not interested in coming here.

Somewhere in Guantanamo Bay: American CIA director: "Ok guys, I want to know what the heck is going on here? This dude has been in for questioning for 12 days now and is living his best life and hasn't broke yet, what gives?" CIA Agent: "I'm not sure, sir, we started on the water boarding then kept increasing the time under water and then just started pouring it straight down his throat but he only thanks us for it and only gets uncomfortable when we stop."

Paddy McGuinness plays Dracula, or Ralph Malph's great grandson. That's the pool we're fishing in.

Apart from the obvious pisstaking and ripping their arguments to shreds, I quite liked Republica's 'ready to go' but after Sunderland hijacked it for one of their run out songs..... I still do. The fucking mental bastards. I'm going to write a FURIOUS letter to the group from county Durham's famous Windsor, Berkshire estate and ask them if they're happy with their association with the club?

It's why I look about 25.

Mitchell leaving has denied us our Hot Mitch Summer. That's what I'm taking from all this.

Bobby Robson was quoted several times as being a boyhood NUFC fan even if he was part of a generation where a lot of people went to both teams matches and may have done so himself but they won't have it and just because it was Lanchester, claim he must have been one of theirs. The cunts.

5 litres of water a day?!?! Are you a camel?

What is making me piss is the Trafford situation. We have been waiting for what? Two weeks or so for 'Here we go' bollocks yet it seems like we still haven't agreed a fee yet.
