Do we ever win when he doesn’t play? He’s like a younger version of Exile1968

Because people watch the whole series even though it’s shite

Home v QPR. Is there a more underrated English player of the last 40 years? Some of the goals he scored and created out of almost nothing were incredible. Just a genius really

In and around Bilbao actually

His second coming wasn’t what they hoped for.

Just looked it up it was in Asia Minor, then Greek now in modern Turkey. The name means: the city of him who loves his brother. So that’s why they call Phillie the city of brotherly love. I never knew that. Btw, I read a theory a little while back that the Oracle of Delphi was just some poor lass off her tits from inhaling volcanic gases.

By the way, it’s funny that they brag about having a beach (Seaburn) whereas Newcastle doesn’t. Yet they’ll have filmed that scene at Tynemouth as there’ll have been less chance of running into any mackems

He’s too woke. That’s his problem

Philadelphia is a little village near Sunderland isn’t it? Although the original Philadelphia (what the American one is named after) was Greek in antiquity iirc

That group tells it like it is. Unless they’re being blackmailed not to

The other thing is Newcastle and Gateshead actually have a joint initiative to market themselves and attract tourism, business etc.

They’ve got their own category (seater)

I was satirising Leazes’ use of the phrase anyway. I think he trademarked it

That’s a bad idea

Aye. Watching him take you through a match you could just watch is fucking insanity. Although I agree with KD’s point about Soccer Saturday being gash too

I did think about that one near Shiremoor but even that comparison doesn’t work

They’re so hung up on boundaries. Particularly ones which are 50 years or more out of date* Also have to love how a photo taken in Newcastle, showing the river the city sits by and the town on the other side of the river (part of the same urban conurbation) is the same as taking a photo of Sunderland and claiming it’s New York *Gateshead falling within the historical county of Durham. Meaning it belongs to Sunderland, despite being overwhelmingly black and white for as long as anyone can remember.

Whereas highlighting Labour councils potentially going bust is fine. Even if the factors (like equal pay claims or lack of central government funding) have little to do with the politics of the party running the council. Not to mention less focus on Tory-run councils also facing bankruptcy

As big a twat as Goldbridge undoubtedly is, who the fuck are these people actually tuning in to his ‘live watchalong’?

Also needs a Clarkson voiceover. With a ridiculously long pause before….in the world

Parody really is dead

Much like the levelling up adverts you see in city / town centres. In places that look tatty as fuck for extra irony points

I don’t know. A LOT has changed since the takeover was initially blocked etc. If clubs vote in self interest, rather than the forelock-tugging arse-licking we’ve seen on the past then I think there’s only Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool who should be against it. Man Utd too I suppose. But after that?

timed nicely to coincide with their annual mass delusion about not really wanting to be in the top flight anyway

Seems a bit too sensible
