Do not tempt me, shallow one.

Man city getting beat just in time to play us.

"You can reach me by railway You can reach me by trail-way You can reach me on an airplane You can reach me with your mind You can reach me by caravan Cross the desert like an Arab man I don't care how you get here, Cos you're still getting fuck all to spend. You can reach me by sailboat Climb a tree and swing rope to rope Take a sled and slide down slow, into these arms of mine You can jump on a speedy colt Cross the border in a blaze of hope I don't care how you get here, Cos you're still getting fuck all to spend" I'm told from reliable sources this is the answer phone message on Mike Ashley's phone whilst he's up to his eyes in pina coladas and all inclusive scran.

Mackem: "eeah, ah hear yas are selling the currant hum shirt for 75% off?" SAFC shop assistant: "aye. Dya want one, marra?" Mackem: "ah think it's sewpa shit but for 75% off ah'll tak it, flower. It'll do the bairn for his 18th bufda." SAFC shop assistant: "Ave ya got the discount code, marra?" Mackem: "Ah fuck ah forgot it! Is it err, 'FTM73' or sommitt?" SAFC shop assistant: "Fucking close enough, giz ya money, the warehouse is fucking rammed wiv em." Mackem: "GERRIN! F T fucking M!"

Their hideous home shirt is being sold with a 75% discount* only a few months after launch. I'm guessing sales of it weren't like the proverbial hot cakes. *Apparently you apply a code at the checkout although one of the mackems on RTG reckons he got one and nobody bothered with the code.

I watched 3-4 episodes a few years ago and thought it was pretty average at best, shite at worst. (And I liked LotR's).

Homo deus was a struggle at times yet still interesting enough to want to plough on. (Read it vast majority of times before bed and was nodding more than churchill the dog). Basically the futures fucking bleak for most of mankind especially knackers like me.

One plus one starting to be a little dodgy when charging, sometimes fine, odd time taking much longer than usual. Battery or charger? Anyone still using theirs? Can't really afford a new one and everything else on it is perfectly fine.

That super Brighton v Palace rivalry that's just mad intense guys has an extremely large amount of empty seats and is flat as a fart.

Very-fucking-believable.

I used to drink the odd bottle of McEwan's export as one the bars in Walkergate had it at about 60p a bottle for a while and I was on the bones of me arse at the time. Export was 'ok' from memory, the scotch wasn't fantastic but I actually enjoyed it better than the lager I was forcing myself to have on Saturday.

BBC presenter: ".....and just before we start the fourth round draw here's some numbers to look out for, Man United are 12, Chelsea are 23, Liverpool are 28, Giant killers Newport are 39, some other div 3 team are 45 if they get through their replay with a championship club and we won't bother telling you any other cunts numbers because frankly, we couldn't give a fuck."

My first thought was 'it can't hurt us any more than the current set up, we get absolutely fuck all, no pens, instant yellows for first bookable offences, opposition allowed about three before the card comes out, no pens for, no problems awarding against, etc' then I woke up and smelled the coffee. I've no doubt we'll still get fucked with no real benefits to it.

I had a couple of pints of McEwan's best Scotch on Saturday! I was amazed it was still getting sold as I've never seen it for years so had a few for the nostalgia. One of the lads had a pint of ex in the same bar! (tbf it was the clock and it's still 1991 in there).

Looks like it'll be Byker sands again, this year.

Don't be so keen to look for silly rules. FFS, let the your young'un stand on a seat and don't worry about it. If he happens to block someone's view then sit him down. Otherwise use your noggin.

I've never particularly took to him either. I had doubts about him as a manager before he took the Sunderland job and you just have to question his decision making knowing the shit they're in. I'd definitely go with ego too. You look at McCarthy and Reid and can say they were likeable as blokes if you take away the Sunderland angle. Coleman doesn't come across as likeable or any good either. Think he lucked out with Wales in the Euros big time with Speed's crop.

Nerves, especially early on. Hard to be too judgemental but at the same time him and lascelles going off gave them a bit of a boost. Once we scored we looked the difference in leagues that there obviously was but the second half was pretty poor to put it mildly even allowing for the 'seeing it out' mentality.

Very shakey.

Even funnier having just had a look on RTG.

SAFC announce the player doesn't want to play for the them anymore according to look north, sorry, look shite. (It wasn't Dawn Thewlis who read the statement out).

I think FFP would fuck Sunderland a lot more in the FL than in the premier. I'm sure I read somewhere that on best guess estimates they're at the end of their 3 year loss allowance, they will be penalised if Short did spend more than they make. The FL can and have in the past docked clubs points for various misdemeanors including administration. So that's one of the main reasons they haven't spent as in the summer they'd have been well aware of that and docking points would've seriously hampered any promotion push or, like now, if they tried to buy their way out of trouble it could've risked a points deduction now or next season which again would either relegate them now or put them on their way next year. All of that supposes they have the money to spend but they can't, the truth is that they couldn't spend even if there was no FFP restrictions. They are fucked. Why would Short effectively sell their debt to an outsider instead of sorting it himself? It doesn't make much sense to me unless he can't afford it. Either way, they can't spend their way out of trouble. They're fucked.

It's ok everyone, he told sky sports he knows he's made mistakes in the past but he didn't say which mistakes they are and he'll keep doing them again regardless. WTF are we moaning about?

Puff. Not you, Fish, the dragon. 'Puff the MAGic dragon'.
