Thats not too disimilar to me, that like. I'm 37, been to the gym three times in my life and I just can't get away with it, stopped playing football when I was about 19 when I couldn't manage to play with a shit hangover and just got out the loop. I should be a right fat bastard really but fluctuate between 12.2 and 12.8 depending on what kind of week I've had, I'm about 12.5 at the minute and am five foot, nine. I've probably not ballooned my weight as I've done 12 hour shifts for years and have always been on the go plus don't eat a lot when I've been on my nightshift cycle. Still have developed little man tits which I don't like but have a running machine which I haven't used for months due to lack of access which will be cleared in a week or so, which I can't wait to get started with again. Seen a lot of younger lads and lasses around who are a lot bigger than me and look my age but are ten years younger, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the twenty somethings seem to be either nice and lean or very overweight with little middle ground and some look old beyond their years.

Could we be that lucky? (*) * - feel bad towards Billy for saying that as he's a good lad... For some reason we're not flavour of the month with their supporters, probably because we've taken over their town for over 20 years when we've played there, and our perceived Billy Big Bollocks self esteem. Taking Shearer off them must've hurt a bit like, but the only reason I want them to go down is Allardyce, it would be glorious, then the next season seeing him have to take a job somewhere like Doncaster when Inter don't come calling. Wet dream time that. Funny but most Rovers fans I've spoken at Ewood over the years have been no bother and I got the feeling they didn't really mind us. Then again, when they're surrounded by drunken Geordies on an away day bender, they're not going to be too disparaging to us, are they?

Agree. I'll be ecstatic if we beat these as the dreaded words 'Lord Mayors show' are screaming out at me! Until Rovers beat us a few years ago they hadn't won at SJP since the fifties, now they're looking for their fifth straight win? incredible. They must not get it and after the week we've had a point wouldn't be the end of the world but three would be out of this world, Sam will get stick and be a very smug chap were they to get the win, we don't really want that, do we? Any sympathy I might have had with this self-promoting goon went out of the window with various comments he's made since and the whopping pay off he got to buy his villa which he christened 'Casa St. James'' in tribute. I'd take a draw to be honest as I've seen these situations so many times over the years. A win would be brilliant and in its own way be as good as the last three as there's no way the players/crowd will be as psyched up as they were against our inferior mates from Wearside.

They've been this way for about ten years at least. It seems topical to talk about class so I can't help commenting how classless Fabregas was today - nasty, whinging and diving all day. Did anyone notice his off the ball "collision" with Barton just before the swing at Carroll that as mentioned should have seen the twat walk? Gutted I missed this today, had a sneaky feeling we'd do these if we were brave enough to want it. SBR said the last time we beat them down there that they need to learn how to lose gracefully. They still haven't learned, Bob.

Beckford only played games because of injuries. Yakubu and Saha are now fit so he won't get on much. Both Yakubu and Saha have played 9 games, only 1 goal between them. Clinical finishers, like. Couldn't care less tbh, we'll still finish miles above you. After watching tumbleweed blowing through the Everton forums, ClubEverton goes on to a site which he loves, where he can be a part of the craic and get some attention for himself and his club, which is sadly lacking on both counts. But he doesn't care, though. We don't care either.

My mate could talk German, or so he reckoned. Whenever he saw a lass with big tits he'd exclaim, "Getten ze bappsuns out". I think it means 'what is your name?' but I'm not sure.

I remember Graveson putting in a worse tackle on Bernard, then you scored directly after. Difference being I'm not on an Everton forum a year later crying about it. He's only here to wind us up and rip the piss out of us, to be fair. I just wonder when he's going to start?

never been in the Trent bar. No inclination to go in either. Best thing about NO is taking the piss out of the fuckwits, and speaking of apologies I must be due about 200 from people who I told for years on there that they were wrong when they said anybody but Fred would be better. It is very sad to see them wanking themselves to death and proclaiming themselves to be "right" and me "wrong" just because we won one game, albeit it very well against our geographical rivals. Even more so when they know I can't reply. Still. Sums it up. I'll settle for the same on here from the likes of Gemmill etc etc and a few who seem to have disappeared. Trouble is, whether they're fuckwits or not, they'll get a laugh out of you going back on there under an assumed name, I wouldn't give them that satisfaction if I was in your shoes, but it's up to you at the end of the day. Sometimes you need to just say 'fuck'em', and move on.

What did Nasri say? Barton has been pretty impressive this year, not just what he's doing on the pitch but the fact he hasn't gone and twatted anyone yet. I was just waiting for him to lose it against Wolves, so long may it continue. Basically in the aftermath of De Jong breaking Ben Arfa's leg, Nasri was commenting on it and said this: This sums up Arsenal and their so-up-their-own-fucking-arse players and more than a few of their fans. The 3-1 Highbury win had them crying like bairns despite us being just as, if not more, hard done by than them by the Ref. No fans or players can whinge like they do and argue the toss about refereeing decisions like these can. Would like nothing better than Hughton to have a go at them and take our chances but fear a NUFC victory would have the phone-ins in meltdown with the boring bastards moaning about thugs/refs/linesmen, whatever.

This thread, Jesus! If you want an outsiders view......... The Trent is truly a bar pretending to be trendy and sussed when it's just, well, pretty shit really. As for the rest, I seem to recall Paddocklad posting on here that he was banned on this N-O for the most innocuous thing and thinking if they can ban a bloke like him who's a canny lad and has probably been to more NUFC aways than most of SJP then they must have some sad fuckers on there, so why LM would want to go back on there beats the shit out of me unless he feels he didn't get the chance to say his piece which I can kind of understand. He should still let it go, like. I've never been on it and by the sounds of it have no inclination to do so, either.

What could you offer professional advice in then? drinking vodka like a Bigg Market slapper?

Berfore you waste money on a sparky, have you checked the fuse behind the kitchen ring switch in the circuit box. Each switch in the main board box usually has a fat little fuse behind it and these can quite often blow. Usually about £1 from your local diy shop. I haven't but all the lights for downstairs are on the same curcuit breaker... wouldn't they all be off if it was a blown fuse? Sorry if thats a stupid question but I know nothing about electrics Aye, all your downstairs lights will be on one ring. So if only that light isnt coming on then its either a dodgy bulb or fitting. Its normal when something goes "pop" to trip the fuse and that resetting brings other stuff on the same breaker back on. Have you put a new bulb in and a second just in case? Is the correct answer...just to say you're very unlikely to have fuses and breakers in the same consumer's unit. As Andy stated everything comes back on bar the kitchen light/s, so its almost certainly a cirucit breaker board as a lamp blowing is nowhere near strong enough to take a fuse out but frequently takes out the more senstive circuit breakers. If it's not fixed by changing the bulb/lamp and you do a bit of investigating, make sure you turn the same breaker back off again as there may well be live cables in the fitting even though its not on. I could've nipped in and had a look yesterday for you but I did have Strongbow for breakfast before I went to the game...oh and I was up nearly all night at my brothers drinking too....maybe not such a good idea and I'm now back home "darn sarf" Any other questions, don't be shy about asking...PaddockLad, qualified 1990 What's chargrill black and hangs from the ceiling? Paddocklad (qualified 1990) changing the lightbulb.

That was as good as it gets and I saw my first game in 1983! I honestly thought we'd do these yesterday but got my prediction wrong, (I went for 3-1). The players were superb and seeing the mackems faces was pure fucking karma. If I had to pick two sides we 'owed' one to then it was these, (obviously), and Villa. Villa can now fade back into obscurity whence they came but our friends from Mordor will never live this one down, it made it so much sweeter that the daft bastards really thought they were going to do us, and as I said before the game to one of the fuckers who has now disappeared from here, where that huge confidence came from, I'll never know. Mackems! Know.......your....... fucking...... place. Forever cold in our shadow.

He'll be taking the credit for the round wheel next. The man's a shameless Narcissus.

Know the feeling well, had this for two years on the belt a few years ago.

A couple of years later I admit, but this is the most mental I've ever went after a goal, (15 seconds in).

Unless you're Skellatits off the SMB, why are you putting 'la' on the end of every sentence? Genuine question! It's the scouse funnyman, toughguymick@hotmail.com in disguise.

HAHAHA...ok, i reckon the nerves are kicking in now !!! I'd love to know where your confidence comes from. Even when we've been by far the better side there's always the nagging doubt that anything can happen in football, especially a derby. If this is what you lot are like now, fuck knows what you would have been like had you have been as good as we were under KK/SBR when we played Crosby's/Butcher's/McCarthy's half wits. 3-1 home win and we'll send you home to think again. OUR SLIGHT confidence comes from the fact that we have the better team ...which hasnt happened very often since you were formed in 1993 !!!! but as we know the better teams dont always win ...so u may win...ill tak a draw HAHAHAHA!!! Fuck off, man you dopey mackem bastard! You telling me SAFC's crowds haven't risen like every other club since the early nineties? I can't seem to recall any chairman of NUFC's whinging like fuck to the press about how he wished his clubs supporters were as good as Sunderland's despite being in a higher league ten years before 1993. Sorry, mate, that'll be the nerves kicking in I suppose? WTF u going on about mag ??? Our team Squad is far better than your championship winning team ...is all i was on aboot ..la I was going on about your 'formed in 1993' quip, also remembering SAFC chairman Tom Cowie twisting like fuck to the media that SAFC could not survive on 16,000 crowds at Roker Park in the old first division and him also noting that NUFC were beating you by ten thousand in a lower league and stating that he wished Sunderlands support was as good as NUFC's TEN years before the year you said we were formed. That's 'WTF' I'm going on about.

9th, eh? Away fans were once banned for saftey reasons, eh? That it, like? You just know a young dozy cockney who works behind the scenes desperately waiting for his chance to get on the mic was given a quick job to write about derbies he has absolutely fucking no idea about.

We've just been promoted and have been spending extremey modestly, (thanks, Mike), and are ninth as things stand, one point behind the Mackems. Imagine the shit they would've wrote if we were in West Ham's position? Unbelievable, really.

THANK GOD !!!! ...theres me thinking you had a waiting list of 500,000 people, just for season tickets !!!! Don't be daft, man. It's the applications to Newcastle city council from people wishing to swap their council house from Wearside.

Was talking about old derby games last night at work and between four of us there was a boat load of tales, funny, but none of them involved the 'banning of away fans for saftey reasons' that Talkshite mentioned, fucking hell, man.
