I don't even recognise half of our chants now. They've been using it for decades. By the way, heard there's 3,000 basques there tonight so let's hope the social media NUFC fans who are diehard super fans can put their phones down and let their throats open up. Also let's hope Hank Wank and the other international brigade can be arsed because these lads in L7 will make a racket all match.

No idea? I did hear they were there last home game and Silverstone looked straight past them and now he's gone.

Is she there as the BBC's NUFC representative?

Are we on TV tonight? Please don't tell me I've got to wait for Chelsea to be finished before they deign to put us on?

So was my aunt's ex. Dog handler. He took us in their NAAFI there when it was still open, very cheap booze and no queue for a game of Jimmy juker plus if there was a breakout while we were there we had a snooker cue to hit them with. Also took me in the crumlin road prison NAAFI as well on another occasion 'for something to do*' *Cheap booze

An old workmate went to cork, was cracking on with a taxi driver who told him about Roy Keane's dad being a piss heed who would get in taxis after a night on the piss and start bragging about Roy Keane being his son. Taxi driver said he got in his taxi one night and started up, he said 'do you know who my son is?' so the taxi driver who does know doesn't let on, 'no, who's your son, then?' he goes. 'Manchester United's and Ireland's greatest captain' the pissed Keane dad replies smugly. The taxi driver told my mate that he stopped the car, looked around at Keane Snr and said, 'What?! You're Paul McGrath's dad?' which apparently got him a 'fuck off' back.

I took a couple of mates over in the 90s to stay at relatives for a testimonial match and they loved it, like Bilbao we literally couldn't buy a drink in the bar my aunt's then hubby took us to, they took my pals to local game the following day and offered to let them go to to Portugal for a Northern Ireland match on an already booked trip a few months down the line, travel, hotel and tickets gratis, they'd just have to get to Belfast and have drinking money. Take the troubles away and the majority are/were great people. (and pissheeds).

They played them in a friendly last year.

Manchester United, aye sometimes it's the full title and I don't mind that at all as it's who they're talking about, we sometimes, but not nearly enough, get called Newcastle United but here's one I absolutely can't understand, why do a load of pundits, (usually ex-liverpool) insist on calling them 'Liverpool Football Club'? I'm not going to confuse them with anyone else?

He thought he'd squeeze a fart out whilst having a piss after a heavy session the day before.

"What are you looking at now, young Woltemagic?" "Wow! What a bond."

"What you looking at Woltemagic?" "Wow! This bond. Unbelievable."

It's definitely been a case of mild media rebranding. When it's blanket 'Newcastle' all over TNT/BT and Sky and now even the BBC it isn't a case of one kid doing it his way, another on another show doing it another, it's got to be by design to be as consistent as it has for the last decade or so? That's effectively rebranding for me. I actually used to shout howay United as much as howay the lads or howay Newcastle. I think it would boil my piss even more living in the south and hearing some Tim-nice-but-dim dipshit saying United or City. There'd definitely be a conversation.

I'd say don't bother with a number unless you have to but would imagine felt to be better? When you see modern shirts with names and numbers on they seem very shiny and I think, (just a feeling from seeing them) that they won't last as long?

When he says 'strong ties' is that MLF for 'no ties'?

He still licks their arses on the podcast and calls Man U just 'United' a lot of the time.

Aye it does my head in when people with no allegiance to either Manchester club or aren't from the area call them just City or United. Nobody called Sheffield Wednesday just Wednesday, it was always Sheff Wed, or Sheffield/Sheff United for the blades. I can't remember anyone not from the North West calling Man City just City until their dominance which makes me think it's a media/success led thing. I can't remember where I seen it but someone in the media circles a few years ago let the cat out of the bag about presenters/pundits being actively encouraged to make it City/United only and when you look at sky and TNT's graphics this kind of reinforces that for me as there's literally no reason to omit it from every other club bar the Sheffield clubs which is their go to excuse so they have to use their full names although in commentary this soon gets forgotten if they're playing Man United.

Who for? Craig or Wykiki?

Arse licking cunts, naming a street after a (then) royal bairn. Tory, no doubt.

He's definitely got or had a thing for them.

I couldn't get to any of our European games and this one, (and Antwerp as I bought a one year passport for it), rankles the most, especially when you heard the tales. Always the bridesmaid, just like NUFC used to be.

"Hello? Is that Athletic Bilbao? If ya neyd a founding father to talk to about your game against the Sawdey scum ah can come along? Am happy to tak part in videos for social meydia and that...... Hello? ......Hello? ..... Are you still there?"

Can someone keep an eye on the Bilbao black cats, please? https://x.com/Athletic_en/status/1985786882941202861 (Apologies for X link but worth a look if only for the MLF reaction).

Diaz for Bayern Munich getting a yellow overturned to red in the sort of tackle that looks like it could be a red if you want the ref to keep looking at it but we never seem to get for similar fouls against us.

Shearer's second team Liverpool, I'm telling you. He's even said he was on the kop once as a kid....
