You destroyed his village and raped all the women?

Fret no more my lovelies.

That’s brilliant we were all getting worried you might not have made it.

Looks like I'm ok for a holiday for the arsenal game after getting the tickets.

Decided to start watching Sunderland Til I Die again for the lolz, and within the first ten minutes I've been treated to Prince Andrew being the official opener of their flat pack shithole. The Stadium of Nonce.

Harry Maguire

Having grown up there and obviously got a load of shit about being a Newcastle Utd fan, fuck boro fans. Loud mouth cunts, with a chip on their shoulder. Desperate to be relevant to anyone in the north east because they don’t have a local derby. Won one cup off the back of Gibson bankrolling them for more than 30 years and never shut up about it. Also never fill their shit flatpack even when Carrick has them on a 10 game winning run

I initially read your earlier post as that you'd bought tickets for the match forgetting that you were actually gonna be away on holiday. I immediately went in to mercenary mode.

I thought you meant Schteve

Slaven came over to the table and had a bit chat. I hadn't realised he was in the Ireland 1990 WC squad. He made sure to mention it in the 5 minutes he was chatting to us. To be fair, he was decent craic, taking the piss "Are yeez Geordies? Nae morals at your club eh, I was saying to Malcolm McClaren yous lads would have Fred West as your Chairman" and just generally being an alright bloke.

If that Grigg negotiation scene had been scripted in a sitcom, it would have been outstanding. Right down to the “I’m not sure I can afford these fucking pizzas” joke to finish the scene. The fact that it’s reality is staggering

I've watched it twice already, it has tremendous replay value. I mean obviously I felt a tremendous pull to become a MLF, but somehow I resisted. Highlights have to be Darren Bent scoring for Burton, Darron Gibson causing damage reminiscent of an F3 tornado on a residential street in Sunderland, Charlie Methhead changing the ground's music to some utter shit Ibiza trance, and of course the absolutely hilarious bidding war the shrewd operator Donald Stewart (or is it Stewart Donald, I can never remember) had with himself over buying Will Grigg. It's up there with my top 10 Netflix programs of all time like. Breaking Bad > Better Call Saul > Sunderland 'til I die.

cheers ct, very generous offer, I'll let you know. to be honest mate if all that's available is seats that low down I'd probably rather watch it on the tele. I always try to get tickets for towards the back of l4 or a similar height elsewhere. really don't like an ant's eye view of a match. at the recent west ham game as well as the away at brighton I had seats at the front. I didn't even bother going to them, just moved higher up and stood in a row with others who didn't give a fuck I wasn't really supposed to be there. mind you, even the back of the away section at brighton is too low I think. at forest the away end seemed more packed and dense (maybe there's less room between rows) so I stopped where I was supposed to be near the front. I thought pope was as much at fault as botman for their goal, didn't realise it was isak who had equalised but thought the ball had hit the post and run out wide at the other side of the goal anyway and was unable to see isak's run up or kick the ball for the penalty, only the ball hit the back of the net. maybe im just going blind?!

Nicr to see that Simon Grayson has gone on to bigger and better things though. Current manager of Indian Super League club, Bengaluru.

Thought I would give Football Ramble another listen. Lasted 5 minutes. It should be Tory Boys Ramble.

BT sport = Devastated.

Lazy cunt.

FYP

I'll be honest, the mutants that used to phone up Slaven, Eric 'Zelda from terrahawks' Gates and Supermac on century FM talking shit, if it was a Boro fan screaming 'Bear-nie! Bear-nie!' and was in disagreement with the ex-Republic of Ireland squad member who never played at Italia 90, I'd have been tempted, if I was 'Bear-nie' to just reply, 'See you? Did ye go tae ma testimonial? If no then get tae fuck you erse licking hypocrite.' ....... And he'd have had a point.

Johnson didn’t give a fuck. It was just a power play. I don’t even think he expected to ‘win’ the referendum. There’s a chance he didn’t want to. It was more about cultivating his ‘man of the people’ persona for a future leadership bid.

if it meant I got my hands on his 2 tickets, probably aye.

I very, very rarely watch Netflix but I have seen all of those mentioned.

Said without energy or passion but just because some part of me still feels compelled to state it - the leave campaign are traitors to the country, those that voted for it enfeebled our nation. A curse born of people who have no fucking clue how the world works or what their place in it is.

That's a disgrace btw but will come in handy if I ever get into a chat with a smoggie and they start setting their cheek up.

I meant the stupid cunt Mcdonald.

OK OK, we've all had our fun. Well, I have.

“Slaven was granted a testimonial game by Middlesbrough against Hereford United at the Riverside Stadium in 1996, but was embarrassed by a low turnout of 3,537”

That's five years after Slaven was in the Irish World Cup squad, by the way.

You have to remember it’s sympathetically made with the least orc-like fans chosen to appear in it as well

I'd forgotten about their connection with the godawful Pigbag BTW. They don't play it when they score anymore, but incredibly it's the music they play when the teams come out and the whole fucking ground sings it.

I really hope @McFaul has notifications switched on now that he’s back.

I'm watching the daft cunt interview Stewart Downing as we speak. Fuck me. Slaven looks like Jarra Elvis.

How many times has Bernie Slavin made a pass at Mrs. Gemmill?

Boro clearly struggling for legends…

Even if you did, they'd only fumble it.

Okay, mods may want to edit that post…

aye mate, I'm linked 2 other people, known them both for years. not really concerned about the latter bit, they know I have a husqvarna 136 and bear an uncanny resemblance to bruce campbell once I start wielding it.

If someone asked me to do that I’d laugh my cock off.

Labour now apparently targeting benefit fraud in their continued attempts to out-Tory the Tories. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/apr/20/labour-warpath-targeting-benefit-claimants-disabled-starmer I mean what are we expecting here in the end, really? That Labour get into power and then flip into being some much improved version of what they're currently coming across as? I think they're going to come in and be exactly what is being suggested here - Tory lite. Is this how Blairism was packaged? Is this the third way? It looks small, cynical and devoid of vision. It fills me with even more hopelessness than the Tories do tbh - if this is the best that the party we all want to be in power can come up with, then what is honestly the point anymore? Brexit destroyed this country, it destroyed the left, and Labour has, in my view, totally failed us. I don't even hate Starmer or what the party has become, I just don't care anymore. It's a dull ache, it's normalised. This disappointment about the weakness of our leaders is just a shrug of the shoulders. "Nothing we can do, suck it up and get on with it". Completely defeated. Maybe it's just me.

"That teym was an absolewt disgrayuss the dayuh!" (following a pre season friendly with Celtic) Let's have a WATCH Party! Get yourselves on this shit.

Fletch moaning at Tuchel and his conduct. Yet not once have I heard him moan about how Playmobil head conducts himself. The sycophantic cunt.

Btw KCG, I absolutely didn’t check your avatar before using that pic above.

That would be remiss of me to say, so I can neither CONFIRM nor deny your question. I might break one of their badly written and self- contradictory rules.
