Alex

He knew what he was doing. His ‘what?’ reaction. I’ve seen him do that / similar when he was here too. If he’d done that by accident he’d have been a lot more contrite imo.

He was kind of right to be fair. Rather than nicking it, they should’ve won by about 4 or 5.

Can’t wait

That’s my rationale too.

I’d obviously rather avoid them and they get beat in the other semi. But I think I’d rather play them over two legs if we have to play them at all (and it is very likely that we will)

It was 0-0 at one point 👍🏻

You might be right. I thought he was from Sunderland but he’s from Jarrow apparently.

He’s too wee

Sunderland lad who used to play for them. Had a job with them as a sports masseur, got sacked due to cost cutting I understand, was offered a job at NUFC and now works for us. Absolute scum, who should’ve stayed on the dole rather than earn a living, obvs

Or use the same coach driver who took us there when played Spurs?

Well the party is stacked full of thick as fuck ignorant cunts so it’s not really a surprise

Ironically he did them a massive favour. The manager was in an awkward spot due to his status as a legend but that interview gave the manager all the leverage he needed to get rid

Quick check and last time they were in the PL it was for 10 seasons in a row (marra): 1 top ten finish (10th, which was worth it for the Uncal Mick stuff); 13th (twice); 14th (once); 15th (once); 16th (twice); 17th (twice) and 20th.

Take away the top two sides and the championship actually is shit. Something at least some of them should recognise as a good thing (as it allows them to compete).

I’m excited. It’s ages since I’ve been crushed by the disappointment of losing a final

She was being deeply sarcastic

And had a whip around and bought him a packet of crisps

It’s absolute bollocks. Liverpool have struggled and Chelsea are a bit of a basket case but Spurs have a great manager and some top players. They’re inconsistent but they’re by no means poor. Man City are easily one of the top 5 sides on the planet, Arsenal have been superb and Man Utd look better than they have done for years. Brighton, Brentford and Fulham would all probably get to the latter stages of the europa league

They didn’t mind fleecing clubs out of the money that came with the modern era of professionalism though

The idea of investing in something which might’ve benefited someone else 5 years down the line would’ve put him off that idea. I don’t think he ever thought he’d be here as long as he was. I totally agree with you, just saying it went against his blinkered mindset

He’s a clueless cunt when it comes to football but I think his original intentions may have been to have a bit of fun. There was the drinking in town and then appointing Keegan. Then he lost a large amount of money spread betting, in effect, on the stock market iirc. Then that was compounded by the financial crash. After that it went sour with Mort being replaced by the casino cunt and Wise being brought in to oversee transfers etc. I think it was a lot more difficult than he envisaged (again demonstrating his cluelessness). Certainly from at least that point it was an investment he thought he could sell at any point so rejected the notion of any long term strategy.

Not quite the punishment they think it is

It’s great because if we get to final we’ll get hammered. Or something

She’s no relation to Ant ( of Ant and Dec fame) by any chance?
