I can't believe any mackem doesn't want promotion, if they say they don't it's a comfort thing. They're unlikely to break Derby's record. And once relegated will get parachute payments making them more competitive. On balance promotion is a good thing for them so for me the best outcome is for them to get smashed by Sheffield United or another penalty loss heart break.

If they get promoted they will get a massive cash boost, maybe even become attractive to a rich buyer. Fuck them, a decade in the wilderness is 100 times too short a time. Can't believe what I'm hearing from some posters here.

Fuck that. We're at the stage where every match we have something to play for whoever its against. I don't need or want the stress of a derby with those troglodytes.

And Sheffield United just won 6 0 on aggregate. 👍

Just delaying the pleasure for a greater return at Wembley. Meanwhile pray for Trafalgar square.

Self portrait. Canny accurate.

Ha ha.

Watching Look North, Dawn Thewlis at the SoL as the Coventry team bus arrives. Difficult to know if the bewwws are aimed at the bus or her.

* Same here. I don't really want a pet, but the kids nag me every day for a dog. Can't really afford it, the hassle of holidays etc, there is no chance the kids would help out, plus I'm allergic. Don't feel like I have the time for an animal and don't want the emotional attachment when they die. However, I've agreed with Mrs Rents we can get a dog with hypoallergenic fur when we retire/kids leave home so she has some companionship while I do my own thing. * For some reason I can't leave likes on my new device, anybody experience this? Is there a setting I've knacked?

How did I know HMHM would like that post?

The lake district.

So this phone has inbuilt generative AI where you can sketch something and it will create a fully fleshed out image for you. As you all know, I like trains. Here's what the thick fucker made of my sketch of a high speed train.

Three years later next upgrade, S25 ultra with a stylus.

This. Late May, June, or late August, September. Cairn Gorms are a proper wilderness but for my money the West side is much better. Trossachs, Glen Coe, Mamores, Nevis range, Torridon, Ullapool. Best scenery on the planet.

They are as well, warped and gone pink in the sun.

He's literally upset it uses colloquial dialect, which is the same as what the mackems use incidentally. Apparently it proves how insular we are.

Strange thread on there about Tynemouth food festival having the gall to charge 3.50 for entry. I mean, the Priory normally charges a tenner but never mind. All the usual shite about mag shirts. But then this. Imagine getting upset over this? Who are the mental ones?

To up the dream further, Pickford to concede an absolute last minute howler to gift us the game and then soil himself in front of the Gallowgate.

Whey that's what's wrong with football nowadays. No loyalty to the club or fans. Wor Jackie Milburn used to work down the pit in the morning, get the bus to the match with the rest of the lads, play in hobnail boots with a lacer the consistency of concrete, all for the price of half a pork pie. He didn't see the need to fleece the club and emigrate to Madrid. Proper men back in the day. Thank God there weren't any Holden McGroins back then.

Difficult to know really. Salah at least gave the impression to me he was playing hard ball with the club over his salary expectations.

Is a bit of a scouse thing, look how Gordon was treated by Everton fans, and they made 40 million from him.

Wasn't the issue he deliberately ran his contract down so Real get him for free and presumably he gets paid a fortune? Anyone is free to ply their trade where they want, but I'd not be happy with say Isak leaving for free.

It's still on lads, as long as Gemmill is banned a week prior to the Everton game. 👍

No marra, it's HARD not to qualify, remember? We've taken the easy route in qualifying for the fucking thing, damn us.
