MMXXVIII

He was our best player in the run-in. We lost the title because certain players bottled it and KK fucked up with Beardsley/Gillespie.

Further to this I do think we're being set-up for a title charge next season. No Europe and in a much stronger place than when we finished fourth.

De Bruyne is on another level and when he came on I did expect this. Joelinton probably would have prevented it, though.

Still with a lot of the players Bruce was taking us down with.

As funny as this is, I'm with Paddocklad on him. And I'd like it on record, Fish.

Before this season I'd have said Bruno was our biggest difference maker, but I now think it's Joelinton. I noticed Bruno's missus up the stick again too, so we have Teletubbies on the pitch pre-match on the horizon. Time to nudge elbows with his release clause.

We also had ITV put the microphones in our [their] end so that it sounded like we outsung them at times to sportswash the nation. The mackem and ex-Sunderland manager in the studio were there to make minds think that The Learned Elders of the Protocols of Magedia had fuck all to do with the whole psy-op.

Guy's fucking shite, got nothing. I almost feel sorry for them because I recall clutching at straws in the same way 89-92.

We've 2 weeks off before it. Fancy us to win as comfortably as on Saturday.

We all knew anyway but Trippier realigned the lad's expectations from his career.

Aye he was a fucking beast they couldn't cope with. One of the best things the Ashley era ever did was sign him to piss off Rafa, it all makes sense in the end.

Outrageous at the time and it'll no doubt be overlooked. Won the fucking ball.

Bargain. I genuinely don't remember anything he did but argue with a ref. Trippier just re-set his career goals.

I'm sure I saw the winning social media photo being taken on the pitch. I've had a few though.

Thankfully it didn't fall to Longstaff.

Best version I can find online, the tempo is how I recall it being sang in the 80s. It's gannin on all morning from when I wake tomorrow:

Is it too late for them to agree with Michael Oliver being ref?

Their owner has published an apology... in black and white:

You're our bar now.

Mate of mine is a manager there and today was the first he heard of it. Mackems stirring?

I read that through the singing voice of Cliff Richard to great amusement. Anyway, I feel like returning the favour - try the Wim Hof breathing technique and give it a week.

Or builds character. Depends on how you take it. I'm at a point where I think I can hurt a foot with my bollock's forward defence. We'll win the FA Cup now.

All the things mentioned there ring a bell and I know you aren't talking shite. You abstained from tac and are bragging.

When you know you're lush the opponents don't register. Now I've had enough trauma to set me back I'm gonna cling to the Liverpool penalty shoot-out in the 80s like darling Jack at the end of Titanic.

Was a tournament English football authorities thought a good idea late 80s at Wembley. We won a penalty shoot-out, I listened to it but I don't remember who we beat. Anyway it's 4 now.
