  1. Ah, the adidas three stripes on another shirt? Fair enough, I wondered what you going on about? Fair cop. (And you don't get many of them!)
  2. Haven't mentioned stripes, TBF.
  3. Just been asked if I was watching the match on Saturday by the main man as he was in the lift with us and when I said I might, I might not he said 'Are you a Sunderland fan?'
  4. Wonky stripes? It's the big blank space I don't like, the rest of it? Seen worse, seen better.
  5. Seen a lot worse, seen a lot better, just a shame about the permanent blank canvas on the back of the shirt. I'll never buy another shirt again because of it, think the last 'current' top I got was the NTL one similar to this season but with no blank patch obviously, (iirc the biggest concern with that shirt was the size of the stripes and the stitched badge being a bit smaller than usual. Imagine!)
  6. He did but suffered a temporary blindness for a day.
  7. As said in the other thread, football gets away with murder especially the heavily weighted modern rules in place and selective punishments, they can fuck right off tbh. (And as also stated, the media will become the three monkeys as it benefits them to keep the status quo).
  8. They were worthy winners but the bar wasn't as high nor the jeopardy. Think Ferguson's last title they were very average for a title winning side compared to recent years to that win.
  9. It all adds up, yellow cards not given which would've produced a second yellow and a red etc and is a another small reason why certain clubs have done so well over the years, now you've also got ridiculous differing payments from UEFA for finishing in the same positions based on old seasons past, where is the meritocracy or fairness in that? I genuinely don't know how it's not called out more but broadcaster and the media in general are complicit.
  10. Hope the almost semi-virtually-permanent Mrs PL is on the road to recovery, Rob. I've had at least two jobs for life which considering where I started the journey as just about the most naive, stupid teenager to leave school with the barest of bare GCSEs was a massive result, a bit of luck and a bit of hard graft the hard way through my own initial naivety. Sometimes it's hard getting out of it, sometimes, even when you sort it out but you know it's not right it can also be dispiriting, 2024 was a mental year job wise where I was very fortunate to have a decent lumpa from redundancy and a new official status as carer that allowed me the good fortune of sucking it and seeing if you like plus a knowledge I had time on my side if it didn't work out to not do what I'd done for years, sometimes unhappily. My last job was at a factory in December, in team valley, getting up at 4.40 one week out of two, quite a few foreigners, (nothing wrong with that in itself but tells you that people dont like the job much), then I discovered I could go part time through the wife's claim for a UC payment we could've had years ago. In between Christmas and new year a job pops up on my doorstep, I apply, get it, it's a totally different job to my usual, is usually a piece of piss with little stress and I've been there since early march whilst waiting for a DBS to come through. Things can change in a day but they usually don't and it's hard when you're in it. As PL rightly says, sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're not but the logical part of your brain will know this as much as the worry part of your brain will go into worry mode and they're both correct and doing their jobs.
  11. "Bruno! Bruno! Get rid, none of that forrin muck shite, for fuck sake!"
  12. I was genuinely looking to see if Mark Gillespie, the often NUFC videoed keeper was there somewhere at the back?
  13. Should've made them pay the court costs and ordered them to do 200 hours community service reffing the five-a-sides.
