That’s my favourite technique too.

It hasn't been a very good ebening for them, has it?

Well, since 16th March anyway. Stop talking cobblers.

Away fans leaving the ground now....

She’s gone “out to see the Roman column” with the hotel waiter while Wykiki is watching the game.

Wilson watching him score…

oo-err!

✊🏻😎

You know you've just got a shit ref when both sets of fans will be livid with him.

Had this on on the way home tonight. The mix of Spanish guitar,tablas, and sitar somehow makes it sound to me North African, as if it was a soundtrack to some art movie set in the Moroccan deserts. Which reminded me of the music in the first bar I frequented in France way back in the early 90s, owned and run by a dodgy geezer called Kamil. Oh yes lads… it’s STORYTIME! So, my first trip out to France, after going round the Med putting up all the tents, I came back to my “home” site in Marseillan Plage to start my season job- somehow I’d ended up being recruited to the security team for the site. Great bunch of lads, easy job, loads of time off. Me and my mate Dave, ( imagine young Tim Cruise if he was 6’3”, built like a gorilla, and Welsh), were on an early evening patrol in a part of the site called the Annexe- it was basically the overflow part for the height of summer, this was early season so it was all empty caravans. We were basically having a crafty gag and unofficial break as there was no one ever there, but we had to do at least one patrol of it per shift. So, we were quite surprised to turn in to one of the rows and see a couple of French lads trying to break in to one of the caravans. They hadn’t seen us, so we came up behind and tackled them, got them in a wrist lock and they were fucked Neither Dave nor I could speak French at the time, so after them gibbering away outraged at our cheek, we used the international language and gave them a light slapping, escorted them down to the beach, another goodbye slap, and sent them on their way. We headed to the main gatehouse to report it our gaffer, Franc. Franc was mint- French lad, utterly unremarkable in appearance, but a lovely bloke who was always laughing and smiling. Also, ex Toulouse riot squad gendarme, so he was fucking nails. Just as we’d finished telling him the tale, and stopped laughing, a car screeched to a halt outside the gate and our two friends from earlier got out and started throwing threats our way, finishing with “ we’ll be back with friends”. Neither Franc, nor us, were particularly bothered by them, but just as a precaution he asked us to stick around at the gatehouse with him for a while, and also called up Jamie, another one of the team. This left “Basil”** on his own down at the main restaurant/bar/disco area, but it was early evening so no one was pissed enough to kick off yet. Sure enough, within the hour, four cars came screaming down the lane and pulled up at the entrance to the site. 4-5 lads in each, so there was 15-20 of them, all about 19-20yrs old. Still, we weren’t too worried as yet. During our training Franc had instilled in us what we could and couldn’t do legally in situations like this- essentially, as long as they were off site, we sat it out and called the police if necessary. If they came on-site however … So, we had this bunch of French fannies, giving it the big ‘un, shouting and bawling, but they weren’t setting foot over the boundary line, we just stood across the gate and laughed at them. When they’d pulled up the smell of weed from their cars was like Cheech and Chong, and they all had beers in their hands too. Could get messy, but their reactions were dulled and we weren’t too worried. Anyway, they started rushing the gate, trying to scare us, but the useless cunts were doing it like a martial arts film, one at a time- if they’d come at us all at once we’d have had our hands full, but they clearly weren’t the brightest. Inevitably, one of them came over the line, and Franc was in him like a fucking mountain lion, before he knew what had hit him he was face down in the dirt with his limbs being bent in ways that weren’t designed for. He was, again, mildly slapped and sent back to his idiot mates. Who decided their best course of action was to repeat exactly what he’d just done, with the same outcome, but this time the slapping was delivered in Welsh by Dave Cruise. Again, one more time for good luck, this time the dafty heard a sarcastic Geordie accent for probably the first and last time in his life. Franc had had enough, so he strode right up the whole lot of them, grabbed the biggest one, and shouted something at them in French, after which they got in their cars and fucked off, shouting a final threat as they left. We asked Franc what he’d said and it was “ Grow some balls or fuck off home” Theyd threatened to return with more lads, but, as we expected, didn’t. Next day we were sitting in Kamil’s having a beer and laughing about the previous night’s circus. Kamil, who looked the double of Mungo Jerry, without the ‘fro, was always smiling, laid back as fuck, but we knew he was also nails and ran the town. He came over, his usual happy self, asked us what happened, and Franc explained (in French) what had gone on. This lad Kamil’s face went from happy hippy to deathly chilling in an instant- he looked fucking furious. He told to stay at the cafe, went out to his car, alone, and disappeared. About an hour later, he came back, slightly ruffled, and with a fresh lump on one of his knuckles, bought us a round of drinks, and said to Franc “ They won’t be back”. We found out later that he’d gone to the next town up where the idiots we’re from, gone in to the cafe of his counterpart in that town, and battered the fuck out him, telling him to keep his idiots out of Kamil’s patch ** Basil was the oddball of our team- Scot’s lad with a blonde perm, utterly obsessed with James Bond, told everyone he was called Sean when he arrived, only for us to find out he was called Chris. We christened him Basil, short for Basildon Bond. He made out he was some ninja level deadly fighter, but in the few occasions we actually had to step in to anything, he was strangely the last to get involved, when it was already sorted. Anyway, Happy Saturday

Please sir, do you have any more of these great predictions?

Had so much time. Wilson just surprised himself by half controlling the ball. This is not the box he's used to finding himself deep within.

Callum preparing to come on

See you last week. Anyway, shut up- second half is kicking off.

What a hit that was from Tonali btw off the bar. He's got insane technique

Get in.

*an ewerk

Ekitike has turned us down twice already so that ship has sailed. Lets not be like Gemmill trying to pick up that 18 year old in the Bigg Market on a night out, telling her his predictions she will head home with him for the night

Social media really is cesspit of humanity

I think Emery has proved himself as a very capable manager. He took an underperforming side, made some shrewd additions and really got them playing. But over the past five years they’ve been the sixth biggest spending club in the PL so you would expect them to be around about where they’re at. For comparison, we’re the eight biggest spending club in the PL and are sitting third and have won a trophy so there’s no doubt that Eddie’s massive cajones are outperforming Emery’s shrivelled pea sized testicles. The big difference between the two is that I believe that Emery looked at our managerial vacancy as a job. Eddie Howe looked at it as his personal project.

One goal, two goals, three goals Ah-Ah-Ah!

Parish:

This you at a different Berlin club?

My daughter has had some health issues recently, but is on the road to recovery. I gave her some money to buy herself a new top as a little pick-me-up. It arrived today. She’s definitely mine

Good to see Sunderland preparing so well for the play offs. Last 5 games, LLLLD. Today: Boring mackem cunts.

Will Osula trapping the ball

Bruno:

Osula not only finding his level but emulating the Steven Taylor goal celebration against relegated Cardiff.

Willock showing the Arsenal player in him by passing it sideward 3 yards from goal

:lol: Your father and I aren’t angry, we’re just disappointed.

Sky Sports NZ seem like a real professional outfit. Came back from ads after the second half had kicked off.

Mind, the way Isak is finishing, he’ll probably miss

Mackem legend Clarke hooked before half time. That’ll go down well

Var is pointless if they can't intervene in shit like that.

If anyone hasn’t signed up, or is having any trouble doing so… xHamster. “Ditzy Von Tittzy, mit ihren riesigen Brüsten knallt der Klempner” see you in the comments

Heading to big Franks funeral in Rome?

Must have snuck into the NUFC training complex in the Ashley era for that photo.

Glad to see Villa put in their season best performance against us to *checks notes* bolster their 7th place position and get into the Conference League
