Happy new year everyone.

As much as it is appreciated, what the fuck is happening with the boolean syntax in the thread title? Is is it minus (Gemmill AND Trips). Or is is minus Gemmill but PlUS Trips? Now I am smart enough to know the answer and it is implied with the last part of the title, but this type of carelessness for such a crucial game is simply unacceptable, especially now you've outed yourself as a white background user. 3/10.

So, there was a thread last week on the SMB about how shit their stadium is, but at the same time ir was mich better than SJP, obviously. A few posters commented about "shit" greenhouse roof on the Milburn and Leazes stands. You know, the one which is an architectural wonder and one of the largest cantilevered atructures in Europe, flooding the stadium with natural light? Anyway, I'm at Centreparcs at the moment but something was nagging me yesterday when I was swimming in the subtropical paradise. Then it struck me. I couldn't help thinking this is alright, but it would be much better if thet replaced the glass roof with corrugated iron, like at the SoL.

Been there done that too, the wife even keeps every little shit piece of art the kids have ever made. Good luck mate.

I just can't imagine how depressing it must be to regard this second tier team as the best in a half century. Meanwhile we've had football under Keegan, Robson, and now Howe which is quite literally on another level to these freaks. And aye, they will turn oh Mowbray at the drop of a hat sooner rather than later. He's a football dinosaur with career stats to match. Managed 813 Won 336 Drew 195 Lost 282 Win rate 41.3% As far as I can tell, this is all from lower leagues or the Scottish league, with his tenure at Celtic and Hibs heavily skewing his results! Currently on 40% for the mackems. Honestly I'd give it football for good if this was as good as it gets.

I was once moving house and had just put back thinking about the preparation until about 3 days before because I was too busy and stressed Suddenly realised I had to pack and move a whole semi detached house, completing on the day I had to move so zero flexibility. Honestly, nearly had a nervous breakdown, impossible job. Got the credit card out and managed to book a packing and moving service. Six lads boxed up the whole house on the morning of the move whilst I smiled with my feet up. Best money I have ever spent.

Mackems are odd. They beat Wigan in their previous match, who are bottom of the league. Drew against Blackpool today, who are third bottom. A respectable sixth in the league. But only 4 points above 15th and 12 points below 2nd, having played a game more than most clubs. The way they are going on about the team is something else. Most seem to think promotion is a certainty, with quite a few somehow believing automatic promotion is possible. A lot think this is the best SAFC rlteam ever. The mind boggles.

That's very true and never more so than with Gemmill, but don't worry, he'll be washing his hairs that day. Happy New Year everybody, fuck knows it's been a long one, that's for sure. Here's to a better next one. Been there, done that.

Howay lads, play nicely. Borderline mackem behaviour this.

The bloke is either 100 or much more likely brown bread. Show some respect!

It was okay, but flatter than it has been. Leeds fans were shite for pissed up away fans. Didn't seem to like our Jimmy Savile chant, the Yorkshire pudding cunts. One thing that hasn't been mentioned much on this thread and maybe didnt come out on the telly was the weather was pretty awful. This persistent misty rain making everything slippy as fuck. I reckon that was a factor in the abysmal finishing. At the end of the match Leeds celebrated like they had won the league. Its frustrating as fuck but we weren't bearen and kept a clean sheet, a better result yhan Mab City got imo. We clearly desperately need an upgrade in our offensive midfield or strikers though, Wood definitely doesn't belong at this level.

Btw, the cup a million times over. Its like when you're a virgin having the choice of feeling the local stunner's tits or going all the way with the school bike. Get it over and done with with the bike, punch the sky, and look forward to bumming the stunner senseless in the near future.

Cable theft down your way apparently. Hard to blame Nexus for scumbags but I wish they had better back up plans. Anyway, on our way now.

Going to miss kick off, maybe the whole match at this rate. The metro is a fucking joke. 😠

Shit Colocinni.

Never heard of him before yesterrday, ironically I've only heard of him now because of his interaction with Greta Thunberg. He seems to keep good company.

Hey man, it's not so simple when you're sharing a family telly unless you unsociably put your earphones on and watch a tablet, which tbf sometimes I do. Fwiw, I've enjoyed the latter episodes of Andor a bit more, Prisoner Cell Block H in space. Poor Moxy.

Well no, it didn't, it was obvious they psychos from day one with zero character progression likely (arguably except for Sweet Dee, who progressed to become a, erm, psycho). But that was my particular point where the joke just wasn't remotely funny any more to me and I lost all interest. I mean there were no major differences even between the characters. Dennis was a bit more psycho than the others, that's about it. It's just struck me that a lot of US comedies are similar. Seinfeld, all the characters were basically sociopaths/psychos. Friends, yep, the same if you analyse it. Curb, the protagonist is at least. Maybe says a lot about American society and why I prefer UK stuff, characters have a bit more depth.

My round up. Feel like I've missed the boat with Traitors, will try to catch S2. Andor is fucking bollocks, who writes this shit?.And HMHM, I winced reading that, take care ffs! Went to see Matilda yesterday with my youngest, first time to a cinema since before lockdown, meh, don't really see the point in cinemas now. Nowt is gripping me at the moment. Still got to watch the latest series of The Boys but that's about it. Maybe I will see if the Rings of Power is as shit as I have heard it is, and maybe I'll finally get round to watching the Sopranos. Oh, and last year I challenged myself to watch Always Sunny in Philedelphia all the way through. Got through the first 10 series, but not a fan tbh, just completely lost interest in the end as all the characters were charmless fucking psycopaths.

Yes, lets. Just listening to the last Oh God What Now podcast of the year there and they made a fairly good point that all these populists, and also supposed geniuses like Musk, are falling flat on their faces through a combination of believing ther own hype (aided by their sycophants) and just their own rank stupidity and incompetence. I do have a tiny bit of hope this era of lunacy might be drawing to a close now. It's a pleasure to see Rees-Mogg fucking a fucked party even fucking more, the fucking runt.

Those were away marches though, although also tbh they haven't been tested at home or away by the big boys yet, us and Man City. But another factor to consider is they will still have a institutional memory of being a top club, and unlike us they've never been utter shit for years at a time. Like Liverpool in the 90s and noughties. It's this that has held us back previously imo, we've bottled it when it mattered most. Fortunately there's a solution to this as city saw, buckets of cash. But yeah, Leeds first, I'm relishing this one.

Yorkshire cunts Scouse cunts. Manc cunts. Cockney cunts. Brum and Midland cunts. South Coast cunts. All come to fucking die at SJP.

They've improved as much as us though. 100% home record isn't it? I would be chuffed with a draw.

Can we just get fucking Leeds out the way before we decide on winning the league? I'm going so it's a virtual certain victory but still. 1 in 20 chance of us winning it is probably about right imo. But that's still very remote, trust me, I'm an ex D&D player with vast experience throwing the old icosahedron dice. Meanwhile I'm just enjoying each game as it comes, with my eye on actually winning stuff in the years to come.

It means they can vicariously enjoy our successes, like they do Henderson at Liverpool.
