First gig I ever went to was Musical Youth. At what’s now Eldon Leisure (Eldon ‘Rec’ as was?). Metro Radio roadshow on first and I got Paddy McDee’s autograph Actually Pass The Dutchie (which I know is a sort of cover) sounds pretty fucking good after all these years. And nowt like the sort of cheesy reggae I’d kind of categorised as in my mind.

No good deed goes unpunished, mate. Let him sort his own shit out in future

If they ask for your top 5 reasons Taylor is your favourite ever player for the Toon United Soccer Team: 1) The celebration when he scored that crucial last minute goal against Cardiff 2) Getting up and walking off unassisted after a sniper shot him v Aston Villa 3) Copying Kevin Nolan copying the movements of the opposition goalkeeper 4) Any number of goal line clearances when he was behind the goalkeeper instead of marking his man 5) Showing he never forgot where he came from by still getting a £5 haircut throughout his career

I love that novel. Absolutely mental

And Tomorrow (Never Knows)

Did we ever get an update on how this day (and night) panned out btw?

@spongebob toonpants and @PaddockLad I’m not sure if they cover this episode on Chart Music (only about 30 episodes in) but the TOTP from 23/09/1982, currently available on iPlayer, is a good one.

I couldn’t cope if they sold us and bought Liverpool. I’ve only just gotten over the time they ditched us to buy Inter Milan

Tha knarrs

That scene btw

Leisure was our pleasure

Nicely sums up pretty much everything that’s wrong with the media in relation to politics in this country. I do think Labour have made a few PR gaffes and have failed to communicate the reasons behind their decision making on a few occasions. But they’re inexperienced and look what they’re going up against

I hear Captain Teeb’s is canny, if you’re in that neck of the woods

Andy Carroll has gone to Bordeaux (who play in the 4th tier now, after administration and a double relegation). Not sure if that qualifies as a recommendation.

I can well believe it. It’s fucking crackers in Greece when you see a family of four on a moped

My lass was into them. Me not so much but I always thought she was a cool front for the band and I like her voice. I like I Don’t Want a Lover, which I think might’ve been their breakthrough hit. I’m a bit of a sucker for that bluesy slide guitar sound. Loads of people had their Southside album in the late 80s / early 90s. Probably a bit ‘coffee table’ for me at the time but I’d probably like it now.

Rings a bell actually

Whenever they do a list of things to do in Sunderland on trip advisor or whatever the SoL is about number 2 or 3 and before they get anywhere near number ten they’ve listed about 3 places that aren’t in Sunderland

Honestly think they don’t because they’d hardly sell any of their normal kits and training gear unless they made them very limited edition. But equally a Beckenbauer and / or firebird in plain white with black sleeve stripes and trim (and vice versa) with just the badge and trefoil would sell really well too. That retro tracksuit and hoodie is nice but it’s just a design they’ve done for a lot clubs recently rather than something that was previously done for NUFC back in the day isn’t it?

Is he that kid who was outed as having previously been an Arsenal fan before the takeover? Anyway, trackie top for me out if that lot. Although, I probably won’t even buy that. They should just reissue adidas versions of the kits and training gear from the 90s though iyam

I mean he’d never have tweeted that if he didn’t know it was shite too.
