Especially as games lasting well over 95 minutes is now the norm

Silva by the way. What a whingeing cunt. We scored two ‘legitimate’ goals to their none. They didn’t take their chances and we did.
Absolutely agree with VAR and the need to bin it. It’s gone from its supposed purpose of eliminating howlers to getting involved in overturning highly subjective marginal calls. Perfectly illustrated by the Burn ‘foul’ being given after VAR talked the ref out of his initial correct decision.-

Haven’t we all got a message from an unknown number and sent back a picture of our withered member?
Standard behaviour isn’t it?

I can’t imagine how anyone, let alone people in their position, wouldn’t instantly think it was a scam. They must be fucking desperate and thick as pig’s shit in equal measure

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

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

Didn’t they say they hated him for some reason, a while ago. Walking on the cracks in the pavement or some poxy thing.
His second coming wasn’t what they hoped for.

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
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

Didn't realise it was named after New York, New York. Apparently there was another village called Philadelphia as well.

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.

Somebody (Alex?) might have made the Telling It Like It Is joke recently. If so, I apologise for stealing the joke.
I was satirising Leazes’ use of the phrase anyway. I think he trademarked it

That’s a bad idea

We watch(ed) soccer Saturday because the game(s) arent televised. These plums can get a broadcast.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

Maybe he means the New York near the Silverlink?
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.

Caught a bit of sky news as this was breaking and the presenter deflected it from being about 'party politics' and I thought why not? It's almost ALWAYS Tories who do this type of shit, every Tory MP isn't a sexual deviant but every MP who's a wrong'un is a Tory.
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

Reform too woke for him?
They should be honest and just form an openly racist party tbh.
