It's about time we won down there but I can't see it.

There's some insanely selfish cunts these days, I honestly can't get my head around how they tick. The eldest daughter has picked this morning to go to Manchester with friends when we're playing down there.

I'd also add what were his impressions of NUFC and did he sense the frustration around the place/fanbase that the club couldn't become the club it could be as the board were small time?

Does he think that team he played in could've kicked on from 8th IF Gazza and Goddard had been added to instead of sold? Did he wear that long curly perm he had early on as a bet? (I swear it went down to his arse from memory?) The only time I really fancied us to win the cup was when Wimbledon knocked us out and won it instead, did he witness Mirandinha kicking Dave Beasant up the arse after the game and how'd it go between them when we signed Beasant a few months later?

He played the game a bit when on sky's newspaper show but wasn't particularly outrageous from memory? Off the top of my head, Alice band wearing, son of Emily Bishop and Manchester centric Oliver Holt always came across as a prick and the late Brian Woolnough would've been the late Brian Woolnough a lot earlier if I'd bumped into him which is a pretty apt recollection on the king's birthday as he slaughtered him on that show when he announced he was calling it a day saying, "He won't be remembered for achieving anything" which was even for their standards not only disgraceful but fundamentally wrong.

Puma now reminds me of the Mike Ashley years..... "So for that reason am no just oot, am waaaay fucking oot."

Everyone was.

*Years to come* Fan 1: "......." Fan 2: "......." Fan 1: "....... Family alright?" Fan 2: "Yeah fine, thanks. Yours?" Fan 1: "Aye, great as well." Fan 2: "......." Fan 1: "......"

It wouldn't surprise me tbh.

I don't think you can appeal yellow cards. It's two yellows.

A classic case of someone deciding what the people want, luckily we only had him for a full season but he did his best to spoil my joint favourite best ever seasons.

Saw an advert for a documentary on these and one of the clips has their little manager, Louis Walsh(?) saying 'You want ordinary boys, they do what you want.' and I'm thinking....

Saw someone make a great point about all the NW and Southern refs who've shafted us through the years and barely a peep from anyone, Manchester refs doing our games at old Trafford, local refs doing our game at Chelsea, Merseyside refs doing our games at Anfield and this is fine. A NE based ref does any game these days that doesn't involve NUFC at all and there's conspiracy theories flying all over the place particularly from the usual fans of the entitled clubs. Suck it fucking up.

You can add Knopfler's tune as well to that, not just a 90s invention but 90s invention by Alan 'fucking' Robson.

A bit like the same lazy London centric journalists went on about the 'toon army' like they'd just discovered the secret, magic password, I'm still suspicious to this day about any NUFC fan that calls us that seriously, it was just 'how'd the toon get on?' and that sort of stuff. 'toon army' another 90s invention like there being a different version of howay/haway if you're Geordie or mackem. Total fabrication.

They're not called the Scouse Mackems up here for nothing. Very, very similar but probably even more bitter than Sunderland if possible given Liverpool's success.

Wasn't 'britpop' just a load of made up shite like the 'big six', 'theatre of dreams' and the 'stadium of light'?

I'd have celebrated too, I forgive them but they're a funny bunch, last ever derby and it was really quiet at times, they can create a toxic atmosphere for their own team but invade the pitch for an equaliser, not just from that corner of the stadium.

MLF's would've been proud of that mini pitch invasion after the equaliser plus one of the fans grabbing the corner flag.

Thing is, down there they will.

Legendary stuff, "Aye, son, I scored a last minute equaliser against Liverpool to keep us 16th! I'll never forget it."

Jones, Doucoure and Slot I think.
