Congratulations! (Your lass is organising the next kids/poo/parents chat get together as we speak now you're going to be part of the family).

Kev. Call him Kev.

It's a ridiculous phrase really isn't it? Apart from the very odd dipshit on social media putting Saudi flags on stuff I fail to see it?

I missed our first two goals but the third was quality despite nature of the game, peach of a ball by Miley and well taken by the lad, Cooke?

I wonder how many times he emailed them pre-takeover?

A reminder of why friendlies are a terrible watch. 1-0 down.

Commentator gets hit on the head by a metal bottle. Of all the commentators it could've been and it ends up being some unknown lad from up here. Sad.

Is he going to his 'prom' night?

I hope he doesn't work, (or work out), with any Mags at work. It's hardwired into some on RTG to equate everything with NUFC.

Apart from that aspect I'm just waiting for the vitriol that'll go Man United's way via the sports media and pundits in this country. I'm sure they're FURIOUS and note that they're ruining the game.

This was my concern, his Bournemouth team took the piss up here when we went down under McLaren, (it's funny how he fades from the memory, good coach apparently, tragic manager), however, the team we had up to Howe's appointment didn't scream out anything other than 'down' and I just thought as good as his teams could play they could also be a bit of a soft touch and we were probably the softest touch around when he came into the job. I thought he was the right appointment at the wrong time but give him his due, he did his homework on the players and also got them to buy into his way of working on and off the ball, gave them some confidence and belief but his greatest achievement early on was to thoroughly get Steve Bruce out of their systems, the players were downbeat as it must've been crystal clear Bruce was a 100% defeatest ten years past his sell by date and just going through the motions dragging their footballing reputations with him.

"How's the 'South Sea bubble', did you say?"

CT: - Converted. ☑️

"Next on the agenda, pacifying and getting onside the fans of massive lads, Sunderland. Do not look confused, they are a football club in England but more than that, we must give thanks and praise to them and always look for favour with the massive lads of fans as one of their ancestors did indeed give us the colours of our head dress. True story, marras. It is written."

Sportswashing having a day off.

My pal's got one too. I only go in once in a blue moon when the lads fancy it. There's worse bars but there's also better.

The clock.

I was just happily playing the champion's league music in the house when I got the news that Newcastle blue star were defeated by Sunderland under 21s. The needle on the record player abruptly scratched and returned to the cradle as I entered into a dark place of depression and abject apathy. It was almost like playing a few seasons in the third division of English football and kidding yourself on that it was like a breath of fresh air. I'm not sure when, if ever, I'll get over it? Can anyone write a decent requiem? (Asking for a broken hearted mag-at-work).

Yes they can, just order a shirt from the Nike team wear catalogue as if they were the manager of Seaham Red Star, then order a few Sunderland patches from eBay. #business #teamwear #entrepreneur #hopetheirlassisgoodatironingonpatches

Aye I mentioned it a few days ago, apart from the moans and the fact that they'll be getting peanuts as the original deal must've been signed off when they were floundering in the third division, the best bit is they've just renewed the contract for another four years. Gerrin!

The exact moment I found out about the blue star result.....

I noticed a couple of nice looking hotels there but if it wasn't great you were a bit out the way to venture off.

We'll have another look. Might be there or Crete, we fancy a change from Cyprus.
