A shite result just in time for the January window. Eddie knows

No. Just no.

I have apologised to Andrew and he has graciously accepted that apology. I had no intention of upsetting or disrespecting him but I need to remember that it isn't intentions which matter but the consequences of one's actions. As most of you know, I don't do political dissertation or societal commentary. I'm a fat arthritic 62 year old cynic and I do what I hope is mild mockery and banter. I don't always get it right or think before I post but will attempt to do so in the future. Thanks for the kind words while I was away. I respect Andrew for saving this ship of fools and for sticking to his plans and achieving his goals. I'm afraid this is more representative of me: All the best for 2023.

We’ve waited 54 years for a trophy. Top 4 will come but I want some fucking silverware.

CT failing to score with Gemmill, again.

Btw, the cup a million times over. Its like when you're a virgin having the choice of feeling the local stunner's tits or going all the way with the school bike. Get it over and done with with the bike, punch the sky, and look forward to bumming the stunner senseless in the near future.

Get ‘em while they’re hot!

I actually sent you the wrong way, but hit it so weakly that you had plenty of time to run to the other side and wait for it to trickle towards you

No reason to be ashamed missing a penalty against me. Staring me down would have had the same effect as taking your brain out your head, popping it in the ninja bullet for 30 seconds, and then pouring it back into your head. I'd be surprised if you could even plot your route to the penalty spot tbh.

See if you can get this going at the match today. I'll be listening. Do it in the style of Aled Jones so it's easy to pick out on telly.

Show him yours first- good manners cost nothing

Ratzinger - hateful bigot and abuser protector.

I’d have added something at the end about “In the Percy playing darts” to rhyme with hearts tbh

Imagine the right leg of Solano and the left of Almiron. Then imagine the reverse.

Nice to see you ending 2022 with a smile on your face anyway.

And we deserved to win. I expect a response against arsenal

we’ll beat arsenal. Remember where you heard it first #essembeegonebutnotforgotten

How is it only 4 bastard minutes added on? If this was us against Liverpool pushing for a goal they’d have 12 at least

Anyone got a sofa I can kip on for a few nights?

And a good ten second close up of the Athletic Bilbao flag. Thousands of mackems fewming. Not that they’re watching of course.

2 trophies or no. Just no.

Literally the only thing CT has ever had praise for on here is his incredible chant writing, where we all have to guess the tune it goes with. And he goes and puts himself out of a job.

our survey said

lamp the cunt.

And your point is 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tell me mummy me mummy Ra won't be home for tea He's gone to Egypt you see Tell mum Ra mum Ra

Apparently Everton want Simms back tomorrow. No problem though, Ross Stewart, who the "football elite" are chasing, will save them. Until he is sold to Barca/Real Madrid/Milan or Blackburn in January.

"Magpies of the night"? What is this fucking shit?

Ah, that well known terrace ditty.

FYP

They used to slaughter him when he went to back to Goodison as Kendall or one of their local journalists used him as a scapegoat when EFC sold him in his second spell there, it wasn't going so well for HK so Speed got the greedy tag when he was quite happy to stay, pretty sure HK was hitting the sauce more than usual and Speed said nothing out of respect as I think he was an actual Everton fan as a kid and would've looked up to Kendall. Anyway, legend at Leeds United and Newcastle United, never got the bird when he left, goodison park return........Booooooooo! Booooooooo! (Though in this case they were sold a pup).

euphemism?

Im pushing forty and miraculously still maintaining the same 11 stone (~70kg) weight from my late teens. I put this down to a steady diet of roll-up ups, coffee, Guinness and Whisky (largely supplemented by the stress of having four kids and rarely getting a chance to actually finish and enjoy a meal).

Chris Wood is a joke btw . One of those rare games where the opposition worked extremely hard to match our intensity and physicality, reminded me a little of the loss to Everton. I don’t know who the fuck that ref was but felt embarrassed for him, one of the worst refereeing displays I’ve seen - not that I thought he got a ton of big calls wrong he just didn’t bother making any. He’d blow for some soft fall, but then allow them to kick seven lumps out of Bruno, weird ref. The rain didn’t help as it nullified our out ball to Almiron. Shame to draw but games like this happen, roll on the game against Arsenal. Hopefully we do invest as we are screaming for some quality in CM and attack.

Does Keegan have his own seat marked out?

It was okay, but flatter than it has been. Leeds fans were shite for pissed up away fans. Didn't seem to like our Jimmy Savile chant, the Yorkshire pudding cunts. One thing that hasn't been mentioned much on this thread and maybe didnt come out on the telly was the weather was pretty awful. This persistent misty rain making everything slippy as fuck. I reckon that was a factor in the abysmal finishing. At the end of the match Leeds celebrated like they had won the league. Its frustrating as fuck but we weren't bearen and kept a clean sheet, a better result yhan Mab City got imo. We clearly desperately need an upgrade in our offensive midfield or strikers though, Wood definitely doesn't belong at this level.

Aside from woeful finishing from Longstaff and Wood doing absolutely nothing of note, my biggest disappointment today was seeing the likes of Bruno, Joe & Wilson biting when Leeds were on the wind up. As you say plenty more teams are going to try that with us.

We’re going to have more games like this going forward. For 12 months now teams have underestimated us. Leeds came up to SJP knowing that a point was a good result and played accordingly. There’s more to come and at the moment we don’t have the quality to beat that sort of approach every time.

11 minutes added on at Man City. Our day will come when the match lasts as long as it needs for us to win.

Surely this belongs in the Transfers thread.

Just to clarify, my last post was a joke. Although I think this is clear, you can never be to sure with some people. What is bizarre is that last year, I wasn't sure about Howe and 'I knew' exactly who we needed and what to do to fix the mess. I wished away Christmas then sat panicking, even after we got Trippier (even I grasped that he was a great signing but not where I would have started). This year is such a treat. We might get the next Bruno, Botman or Isak. I am loving these players arriving a few days after I have heard their name for the first time. Not only are they top players on the up, rather on the way back down but we also don't seem to spend weeks hearing about something that does not happen. The closest that happened was waiting between windows to go back in for Botman. I think what I have enjoyed the most is seeing how Howe has transformed Joelinton, Almiron and to a degree the likes of Willock and Longstaff. My first real manager for Newcastle was Bobby Robson and I never thought I would have the same level of respect or blind sense if loyalty in a manager here again. I genuinely have no feelings as to whether we are/ or should go in big or wait till the summer.

You should sing: Get your saggy baps out for the lads

had their morals allowed them to go to qatar, they would've undoubtedly won the world cup.
