Gemmill was thrown out after he hired a limo and turned up wearing shades before attempting to autograph one of the guitars on the wall

I doubt it. I hope I’m more relaxed next time, if it happens. I aged about 10 years

David Fairhurst - another left footer. Won the cup with us and got a single cap: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Fairhurst

That’s why Tonali is much better screening the back 4 as a ‘6’. He’d have absolutely retained possession there. Or been fouled in the process by a Liverpool player desperate to turnover possession. Obviously it didn’t matter but I was fucking LIVID at the time

They Flounder

I’d be surprised if the captain turned up ( or was invited for that matter)

Fucking hell, lads. We’ve just won a cup final and you’re on about losing our best player. Have a couple more days basking in the glory at least

I never knew he was black either

Actually I just looked at it and I couldn’t get past the first two paragraphs

If TAA leaves and Salah does too that’s their two main creative options gone. It seems nailed on in both cases

You say that but I would quite like to see her article about the final

Oh yeah. I forgot about that

Edwards was always alright and a good lad from what I’ve heard people say. There was just that weird thing where he went to war on Twitter around the time of the on / off takeover. If I see him in Aldi again I’ll tell him how much you all liked that article and I might even buy him a bottle of Pinot Grigio

Yeah. I didn’t know whether to put anything on here but I was thinking about her on Sunday. Tooj had been in touch on Saturday to tell me her dad had been in hospital and they were going to turn the life support off the following day.

It was in Co. Durham the last time they won something It’s just fucking lines on a map. As though the fact it’s much closer to Newcastle than Sunderland and there’ll be more Newcastle fans amongst the pupils than anything else is trumped by it being in the same county as Sunderland over 50 years ago

I mean they must surely realise Ofcom only investigate legitimate complaints anyway but even if it was upheld they’re admitting they’d get a buzz out of getting people in trouble for basically doing their jobs. I know it never would be but still… And why the fuck would you watch Look North anyway? And why would you watch the sports round up the day after your rivals won a cup final? I know a few decent lads who support Sunderland and I like talking about football with anyone who’s knowledgeable regardless of who they support for the most part. But there’s something not quite right about a LOT of the posters on RTG. They’re fucking tapped

His connection to Sunderland is fairly tenuous anyway but in reference to the above, I bet he gets nothing but abuse off them anyway. Probably just another ex-player of theirs who can’t fucking stand them too

Don’t underplay their achievements, the same set of players got relegated that season too

The fucking timing of this btw: https://www.safc.com/news/2025/january/29/safc-milk-cup-heroes-reunite-for-40th-anniversary-celebration/

We are MASSIVE

TAA missing was massive in the end. Despite his issues from a defensive pov he sets up loads of chances for them. His not playing meant it was a case of stop Salah and you have a very good chance of stopping Liverpool’s creativity. More to it than that of course and we were good all over the pitch but we just didn’t allow Salah any space at all.

Yeah. I’d also say I’d have been less objective if we’d lost

I think because of his position it 100% should be offside because he’s actually ‘interfering with play’ but I’m about 95% it’s not disallowed for them. I do think the officials were good though. Or the ref I should say

It’s going to be bigger than Gemmill’s ego
