CT getting involved in the festivities at Boldon Asda bus stop.

Who would do that? Surely not.

Thanks for introducing yourself

Right then lads, let's get back to the real football.

If we were that good we'd have won at least 6 of those 5 games.

Porno Bridget or MP Bridget?

An outstanding performance and undoubtedly the crowning achievement of his career and this is what he'll be remembered for.

Neither of them even played 90 minutes total in Qatar. Are they injured or just bone idle?

we're 100% in the tile race until we're not. we're third - enjoy it while it lasts.

And on that bombshell...

The commentary was pretty shit and it wasn't just jenas but at least it isn't matterface on ITV with Dixon and at half time you don't get adverts or the presenter telling you about the opportunity to win a holiday and spending money if you phone a premium phone number. Nobody needs that.

I usually just go BBC by default because of the lack of adverts, but fuck me Jenas made this challenging. I don't mind him normally but he should stick to Pebble Mill or whatever he does.

Howe reveals at this morning's press conference that he watched ITV coverage of the WC Final. He mentioned a month or so back that he watches football with the sound off, but he couldn't even stomach Jermaine Jenas with the sound off.

Keep your shirt on Mr Darcy

Who among us isn't on the wind down to Christmas?

I wonder if his sister's children call him Uncal Mick or dad?

His squad at Newcastle was anything but “fiercely competitive” I struggle to think of a squad that looked more downtrodden, confused, and lacking in fight than that one. Contrast that with what is largely the same squad under Howe, one that is clearly fiercely competitive but also completely without training ground bust ups. Odd really, it’s almost as if Bruce is a fucking joke of a manager but the media seem to go to extreme lengths to tell his he’s not

Best world cup final I remember for a bit of everything. Beats Argentina v West Germany in '86. Didn't look that way at two nil. Mind, wor lass did her best to ruin it never shutting up about everything and nothing and having a debate/argument with one of our daughters about terrorism, hijabs and over celebrating the first goal. I swear she waits for the football to come on to wind me up.

Tonsorial Determinism- looks like a bog brush, ends up caked in shit.

Mick Arter. Changed his name from Frank after a torrid childhood

Statistically we can indeed win the title, but Fish's abacus says no, so don't build your hopes up.

I want us to lose so we can concentrate on not getting relegated. Oh wait, do I fuck, that is so <2021....... The balmy heat we suddenly have will suit those Southern ponces, so I anticipate a mere 4-0 win for us unfortunately.

Listen here Private Pissy Pants, we're 3rd and that's unbelievable, but we are categorically not in the title hunt. Not yet. We'd need to improve our form beyond the spectacular return we're seeing now. You flit between hubris and pessimism quick as a hiccough. It must be exhausting. It's exhausting to watch. But I cannot imagine living a life that oscillates so.

What’s the suction like? Is it bagless?

Aye, no game for another six days after this so no point in resting anyone. I doubt Wilson or Bruno will be fit for it though.

Just out of interest @MickArter, have you ever shit yourself?

Interesting analysis on not just how many players from each PL club went to the WC, but more importantly what the aggregate minutes played were. Us and Liverpool look to be the main "beneficiaries". This plus the other teams' continued involvement in mid week European matches will hopefully be enough for us to stick around in the top 4. Also a good Jan window for us would be nice.

Decent band until Gabriel left.

Mbappe’s face when he had to go up and collect the golden boot and then pose for photos with two lads that just ruined his World Cup dreams. Incredible

That question prompted this response: what an absolute 24ct crock of shit

The like’s for the tune 👍🏻

Comedy Dave, the funniest man……….in the world

Showimg your age

I thought they were the same

Ridiculous. No other word for it

Ah, that’s where my wife went to. You’re welcome to her watching football together.

Why the fuck did they put that Anne Summers dressing gown on Messi at the end?

I have 2 meetings tomorrow with French folks, could get Messi 😂 (a word I will slip in as many times as I can, along with penalties)

heart goes out to the mackems who've all to a man, woman and child boycotted this incredible tournament on principle.

Guaranteed Deschamp's gob smells like a bin on a hot day.
