Aye, why would we want to build a statue of a lifelong Newcastle fan who represented the region impeccably as manager of sides like Barcelona, and Porto. Came back home to manage one of the most exciting sides in NUFC history, leading them into being regular participants in the Champions League, before founding a fantastic charity that has impacted the lives of my family and many more throughout the region. Yes there was booing and frustration towards the end of his management of us, I remember many being mostly pissed off at the likes of Dyer and Bellamy being disrespectful towards him. Either way it is regrettable and was linked to the inflated standards the fan base had at the time thanks massively to how highly we had been established during his tenure (and of course Keegan before him). It’s obviously nothing like what the mackems portray it was though, and it must be really nice to have a fan base where you can’t look back with hindsight and point out anything regrettable from a section of the fan base eh. He did attend some mackem games as a kid, from what I’ve heard he did so even later in his life as well. He did this as he loved football and he loved the North East, not because he was a fan of Sunderland but they’re using this to try and twist it into their weird little agenda. They’re welcome to do so, I personally find it pathetic and a little sad that they’re trying to point score in an area they could just appreciate a true legend of our region but I am not shocked at all, it’s exactly what I expect from them. The fact the absolute wretch who posted that put “seemed like a good bloke” sums them up tbh. Sir Bobby Robson “seemed like a good bloke” grow up for fuck sake, the man was phenomenal, had time for everyone by all accounts, and was respected by anyone that knew of him. I can speak to how brilliant his charity is for our region, and I’m so glad that he got his wish to leave that as his legacy. Legend.

He’s in on it

Your anti-mackem diatribes are great

Are seriously suggesting the BBC are impartial? I’m not having it.

For someone who basically invented the phrase "right on" he's now a refreshingly grumpy old 60 year old, who ongs for the days of 3 pumps in all pubs, lager, bitter & Guinness. And he does indeed think that the beard/top knot/ pointless sleeve tattoo brigade are fuckin twats

You would think that

Maybe if he spent less time standing it would improve.

We won't have to, you'll keep reminding us

Damaging to the brand, that.

A bit off topic, but just watched the full interview with Prince Andrew and Emily Maitlis. Fucking hell. First, Maitlis did a fucking brilliant job there. What a car crash that was for his royal highness. He was unable to sweat back in the day because of PTSD apparently . Second, how the fuck anybody can support the monarchy after this? He's a fucking obvious nonce, full stop. Then think back to Charles wanting to be a tampon etc. Get rid of FPTP joke democracy and this fucking royal family while we're at it. Our country's constitution, unwritten as it is, is not fit for the 21st century.

Seconded.

And supporting paedos. Did I mention that.

There is no conspiracy.

Yeah...my 2 mates wandered in half an hour late thinking there would be a support act. They didn't go back after the interval because Elton is a "trans loving cunt" according to one of them. Not sure what the fuck he expected tbh

It was very much deliberate & they would have had to go to some effort to make it happen. Well I reckon it would have been 10-15 minutes work which on that schedule is tight. Every time they make this kind of “mistake” it always seems to be beneficial to the tories.

The trains were really good when I did Pisa-Florence-Venice-Pisa. Verona is meant to be beautiful anyway

Tbf to the public, the press in general is incredibly biased

If Labour had got their shit together after 2017 they would be walking this. 😢

I’m 12. YOU FUCKING PAEDO.

Xhaka is a liability discipline-wise, which at least means Shelvey will get that post-drop upturn on a fairly regular basis.

They’re probably not even mates. I bet it doesn’t even have a basis beyond them both being Swiss.

All the part-timers annoyed that they didn’t get to see Sterling in between Mexican waves and taking selfies.

England fans booing Joe Gomez.

Reminds me of this

Absolutely maddening that there's a bloke sat in a food bank saying that his vote is a straight fight between Tory and Brexit. I mean how the fuck has that happened.
