It's boring and devalues the league. There's got to be an element of competition to maintain what makes the Premier League the more marketable brand. Otherwise we're just spanking a bunch of farmers around and we'll invite more and more tourist fans, more and more "ManlikeBruno" accounts, and Arsenal tv and shit like that.

GUMPH! The Tories won this seat on a by-election post 2019. They're now down to a 10% vote share.

@Dr Gloom making headlines again I see

21 years later for me. And even I feel like a knackered old cunt now. Imagine being Gemmill’s age!

I went to a fairs cup thing a few years ago after a mate had a spare, was good crack actually, there was Frank (knew everyone's father) Clark, David Craig, (just turned 80) and John Gibson who was on form with his never ending glasses of wine, there was also a brief guest appearance from an even earlier player and character, Ron (Cassius) McGarry who was getting on a bit but still a bit of a joker. McGarry used to have a bookies round the corner from us in the 80's and would be standing outside asking passers by who'd obviously been to the match if it was a good game? He once asked my dad what the match was like after seeing me with a NUFC cap on or something walk past his shop so my dad gave him his opinion on the game. After we walked past my dad said he used to be Newcastle's striker but I just thought he was an old gadgie so wasn't sure whether to believe him!

This explains A LOT about your contributions to the jokes thread.

And the problem with that is?

Well said Vinicius Jr

They were a good side by all accounts, not quite the crack players Hungary produced a decade earlier but still good enough to beat some top outfits including Don Revie's Leeds United side. (He didn't give us a chance). I was still four years away from gracing the planet with my existence when we won our last trophy, 🎵....and here's to Bobby Moncur, the fairs cup in his hand....🎶

I was born roughly 18 years after this - just in case some of you weren't feeling old enough.

To be fair, the amount of money that you (and we) can bring to bear would ruin the league as a competition. Unchecked both of us could buy the very best players from our opponents, the best in the world, and trade titles as they do in Spain. There has to be a limit on what clubs can spend, and it has to be significantly below what our clubs' owners can afford.

Thanks Taggart

Merde

contretemps? dissension? fracas? tiff?

Destitute, sucking cock for baccy?

Yes I still have this on VHS video tape. I was 11 years old.

I've never seen that before. I've got a vague memory of the family huddled round the wireless in front of the coal fire listening, but not totally sure if I've made it up or not I definitely remember my father coming into my room( in retrospect obviously pissed) after the first leg and giving me the program and a blow by blow of the game. Much to my mother's annoyance as she had to get me up for school the next morning

The obligatory physio room moment will be a bit awkward. "You can just put your stuff over there, here's where you'll be sleeping."

forgotten his roots, that lad

Yeah i'm okay with the orange. tbh i hadn't thought about you guys wearing black and white stripes. Has there already been a vote that i wasn't aware of?

Prison stripes are black and white - yes they are hooped, but they can fuck off. American style orange boiler suits and they have to play in those leg chains you see when they get off the prison bus - then it's a deal.
