Nah, Stokoe was the only one wheeling away in celebration as he knew it was going in.

It's a miracle they arrived there alive though.

At least some form of washing is trending in Sunderland.

Iconic

No one going to ask why there’s a fucking Ewok behind the goal,then?

He looked like a quasimodoquartista

Take the love eggs out, mate.

For anyone wondering, on the SMB hidden board, the "NUFC Sportswashing compendium thread*. Jan.Mar 2023." thread has maxed out at 4999 pages and 9977 posts and is locked. Don't worry though, a new thread was started yesterday, called "NUFC/Sportswashing compendium thread - Spring 2023 Rainbow edition". It's currently at 84 pages and 1679 posts.

I think I've spotted the balls.

The good old days. The "pools man" knocking on the front door.

You've got a good eye MF, completely missed that.

Just chopping this to a different thread so we don't ruin the match thread mojo. Brighton's form for their last 10 games is 1.9ppg. Their ppg for the full season to date is 1.7 so they're currently running hot. Ours is 1.8ppg. Our ppg for the full season to date is 1.9. If we allow Brighton to continue their current run for the remaining 11 games, they end the season on 67 points. For us to finish on 66 points, we'd have to drop to under 1.2ppg for the remainder of the season. A 37% drop in ppg. For reference, our worst return for a consecutive run of 10 games this season is 1.4ppg. And we've gone as high as 2.6ppg. So you'd have to believe we're about to have a sustained run of form that is worse than we've had all season (just as we appear to be coming into a great run of form), whilst Brighton continue on a run that is basically as good as they've managed all season for the last 11 games. For reference for Brighton, they've run as low as 1.1 for a consecutive run of 10 games this season. Their highest is 2.0. I invite you all to stop worrying about Brighton, and I invite CT to take off one of the pairs of Huggies Pull-Ups that he's wearing. I'll deal with Spurs in a separate post later.

Going to get worse as they realize we aren't just having a great season and there is a real shift in power coming. Large sections of the English media don't seem to understand what's being built here now, they think we're having a Pardewesque 5th place one off. A lot of the foreign journos/TV seem to better realize there's something special brewing, the lack of Liverpool/Man Utd tinted glasses probably helps. As Sky and co slowly realize their idea of the PL elite is about to be shaken up, squeals will be heard, toys will be thrown, cages shall be rattled, beds shall be irrigated.

If you squint your eyes he looks a bit like Shane.

Just back from the game. What a weird fucking stadium. It’s such a bizarre match day experience. Absolute nightmare getting out of the ground with this weird traffic light system penning the crowd in like cattle. Took 35 minutes to get from the ground to the station. Absolutely nowhere to go for a drink pre or post match so had to grimly sink a few £7 morettis in the ground. I was in with my West Ham mate in the home end. The atmosphere was flat as a pancake. I expected it to be more hostile but it felt like they’re resigned to their fate. Not even any calls for Moyes out. Terrible atmosphere. Haven’t seen the goals back but felt like they gifted us at least three and we just cut through them on so many occasions. Didn’t look like a David Moyes team at all. I wonder if he’s lost the dressing room. Our lads barely broke a sweat. Didn’t need to. There was one move that would have been a goal of the season contender, ball played from our goalkeeper right through them from front to back, with almost everyone having a touch on the way. Glorious. What a team, what a manager. What a season.

Can we now get off Maxi’s back. 2 games, 2 assists and obvious to a blind man on a galloping horse that his overall game is improving.

We’ve all been there

What you hold up the prostitute's severed head by.

I wouldn’t open with it

Is this a wind-up?

Bonus points for adding Derek Wright.

They're both saying "ah shit", just with very different intonations.

Again, Henry comes to mind for me. That's the sort of composure that the really good ones just come ready-made with.

Poor by the keeper obviously but what an unbelievably cool finish by Isak

Not much thanks coming my way for doing a 12 hour night shift and missing the game so you could all enjoy that hammering.

All the best SpongeBob nopants

Still going.

I've had quite a bit of time to mull it over and I think us getting into the CL would be a good thing.

I once blobbed on a shift full of mackems, most of them canny enough lads although their gaffer decided to not include us in briefs which was unheard of, not one of them was really arsed on football, marra, as I think it was one of their relegation years, however of the shifts I blobbed with them one was where we took a 3-1 lead going into the last quarter of our QF tie against Sporting and somehow got beat 5-3 under tactical genius Souness. I got a guard of honour as the shift finished with much clapping and laughing. Even one of them who genuinely didn't like football was lapping it up. Part of me thinks it was a laugh, part of me imagines their faces if I'd have done the same back but that would've been a real feat of imagination thinking they'd be in a QF in a European competition or just being in Europe, full stop.

Off to a wedding later, our lass has gone to get her hair and makeup done and sent me this text “I look like a total dick! I should have done it myself” Pray for me when she gets home

Was his actual first cousin involved in that chat by any chance?

Coupon void.

Ewerk is right. Best take these out before I mess the sheets.......... Oh 😳

There are no negatives. /endthread

Am in attendance in West London on Saturday afternoon 😎

For the official spot the ball competitions, you can’t run a competition with a money prize based on the outcome of something which has already happened. So, when the ball is taken out of a photo, instead of it being placed (for the purposes of determining a winning guess) in the correct place, it’s placed where a committee of ex-professional players decide it should’ve been

It would have been good if Burn and big Joe had meandered over to them just for a laugh. Also wrong thread but it's hilarious how frequent posts are on RTG about wanting to punch Burn - yeah right you hard Mackem bastards.
