I may be guilty of turning a blind eye to sportswashing but at least I know "churlish" isn't a verb.

Bloody hell, lads.

Fuck me, we've actually turned up for a final. But they can't possibly be as weak in the second half. Howay.

Tom Waits though. Still magnificent.

We used to be devoted to it but gave up somewhere in the early 20s (I'm talking about Survivor here, not life generally).

VAR, red card Joelinton.

I was looking at going along to non-league around here but Peterborough Sports (same division as South Shields) want £15 online/£18 on the gate. That's more than actual Peterborough United charge for EFL Trophy games. 😬

Aye, the trains between northern cities are buses on wheels that go at 30mph but sure, the benefits will positively radiate out of Manchester

Only trouble is Stena Line plays fucking "Don't Worry, Be Happy" over the PA to wake everyone up.

Gazza good as before Shearer certain to score And Psycho screaming

Like "ribbon" with a "d" at the end

Have ye heard of a thing called... Curb Yer Enthusiasm?

Gemmill is now officially that Little Britain character asking his hotel guests if they've heard of a tomato
