I see the hairstyle gods eventually got their own back on him.

Even Gordon’s canny tall isn’t he?

I went on a med cruise about 15 years ago. Sporty was on it although I only saw her on the BA chartered flight to Italy at the start of it so I doubt she left her suite much. Terry Butcher was on it. We spoke to him a few times and he’s even more dull and humourless than he comes across on tv and radio

It’s been a while since you’ve tried to groom Gemmill 😂

Who was it in here reckoned Pearson walked like Max Wall?

Fook! Ya bastid

You can all laugh but that ended the special relationship with the world’s classiest club

I think he’d have been usurped as a first team player anyway as he lacks the physical attributes needed for the way Howe wants to play anyway. And his technical ability (although very good) doesn’t make up for that. Apart from the one half season before the Russia World Cup I haven’t been impressed with him. He’s one of those who strikes a lovely looking 60 yard pass to a team mate in a position no better than the one he was in that makes people in the crowd applaud. If we can get rid and command a fee I’ll be delighted. He’s bang average (at best) and I’d say the same about his attitude for most of his time here.

FYP

Same for me except based on the RTG patter about him being shite

Absolutely and I mentioned earlier about Murray having an incredible career in the circumstances. I had also forgot to mention his instrumental role in GB winning the Davis Cup. I think he equalled McEnroe’s record for the most points contributed by a player winning a Davis Cup over the course of a year too. But Murray and Djokovic are the youngest of the 4 you mention and they’re both just a few months shy of turning 36 so I think my point still stands

Lucky you

You could see that was onside without a replay. VAR team desperately looking for an opportunity to disallow it

Get in!

A fucking yellow for that? Even worse as it was deliberate

So should this be a red

Should’ve been a straight red

Good re: both sides from our point of view

Part #9,768,234 in the series of conversations that didn’t happen is this nugget of an OP in a thread titled ‘Pride of the North East’: In which almost every single reply mentions us

that too

Aye, I was thinking similar like.

It’s awful. Basically beaten to death for absolutely fuck all.

Aye. Murphy has the athleticism and pace to come on as sub and press whereas Fraser doesn’t so much.
