I’m honestly not sure I’ll know who I want to win until I start watching the match. Maybe not even then. If I watch it

Yeah, why would money be a factor in what’s likely to be his last big contract?

I caught about 5 seconds of it before immediately turning over. How the fuck was that cunt on there again? He might as well be the presenter

Lots of people like being told what to think without even realising. They’ll lap up what Morgan says even though the bloke himself doesn’t even believe it

It’s another master stroke by the club. We could have probably gotten him for a relatively reasonable fee (ditto wages) if we’d tried properly to sign him permanently last summer. Now that he’s done well he’s strengthened both his and West Brom’s bargaining position and will have other suitors. Fanks, Mike

I think it’s fucking hilarious two London clubs are playing each other in Azerbaijan

I remember him dressing up as a Nazi on the Des O’Connor show about once every 3 months. RIP

Aye. I think all 12 (2 series of 6 episodes) are still on iPlayer. They’re only 25-30 mins long.

Fleabag is class

Is there any fucker you actually like?

It’s odd they lay claim to Durham Cathedral like. Well it isn’t odd because that’s the way they tiny, petty minds work I suppose. Sunderland is only nominally a city and Durham has an ancient cathedral and a world renowned university (as well as giving its name to the county the mackems seem to think they own). So, if anything Durham would lay claim to Sunderland, except no fucker in their right mind would want it. Bobby Robson spoke about the pride in the city and that’s what Newcastle fans from all over seem to have whereas take your average Sunderland fan from somewhere like Consett and the only connection they have with Sunderland is the football team because the place is such a fucking shit hole. It boils their piss because they know it’s true.

I get the feeling he’s that stupid he thinks he’s right. On everything

Yep, me too.

Tooj sent me that vid. How good Pele’s left peg too? I know he was only 29 in 1970 but he’d been playing almost non stop barring time out injured for over 10 years and, as a result he was past his best. Despite that he was still the best player in what was probably the best side ever.

It’s unequivocally a good result for Remain. The Tories can argue otherwise but it only shows just how blatantly dishonest they are

Makes True Geordie look like Slavoj Žižek. Somehow managed to make that almost as depressing as it was funny

Class I used to have a photo of just the mural. The amber collective / side gallery have it in one of their published photography books and I had the postcard bought from there

Decent

Aye. He’s absolutely incredible. All the things you mention then there’s the assists, chances created and so on. I remember as a kid reading about the likes of Dixie Dean and even as a youngster I had an appreciation it was easier for forwards back then. 30 odd years more of tactical improvements, greater fitness levels, less space, etc and Messi is consistently scoring at crazy rates. 30+ goals for 11 seasons in a row man

Lee Ryder?

Remember that mural in Killy near the flats (or was it the Garths?) that celebrated our famous victory in the Texaco Cup

Ronaldo was on a completely different level. Shearer was up there with the rest if you’re talking out and out goal scorers though before the Goodison Park injury that is. I’d probably put Weah at a similar level to Shearer given the superiority of Serie A back then. Shearer was probably in the top 3 no. 9s at his peak

He was class but he wasn’t the best of his generation

By putting them on nonexistent ones
