Agreed an'all. Although it shouldn't even need spelling out tbh.

The Legends is shite anyway, but the highlight of it was definitely Gates. If they've ditched him, they may as well pack in. By the way, re Slaven, that bloke's voice/accent does my fucking head in. Listen to him say Cattermole. Ca'uh'mo. Wee Ca'uh'mo. That, along with the Duke, the Yak, and all the rest of it makes him unlistenable. Bit of a tangent, but the number of times the commentator on Century at the weekend commented on the "ROCKING" atmosphere at the Riverside was hilarious. It was literally every two minutes he was going on about "fervour.....fever-pitch at the Riverside....the place is absolutely bouncing....these fans are really getting behind their team..". You could tell he was just in heaven to actually be at a game that didn't have banks and banks of empty seats.

Spurs definitely... but can't see Boro having a sniff at Old Trafford. They're as shite as us away from home. I sincerely hope Boro get turned over in the return match. Was not happy at all on Saturday when they went 2-1 up - the thought of those twats getting a day out for a cup semi-final. Well, it's not on, is it. They didn't even fill their quota did they for last years? They couldn't even sell all their tickets for the away end at our place man - 45 minutes drive from their front door. I had an email off a Boro lad when I got in on Monday morning, all triumphal because they sold out a home FA Cup QF against Manchester United ffs.

You were with your lass? Who the fuck else would I be on a bridge with? Eh? Are bridges the sole reserve of courting couples then? "Who the fuck else would I traverse a body of water with? Eh? EH?!"

That's impossible. You work in a carpet shop.

What about your hair though?

You get it coloured and you still come away ginger? Free or not, he/she is taking the piss, I reckon.

thompers got banned. Or as good as. And Crimson only signs up to get himself banned. Can't think of anyone else tbh.

You'd sell your granny for a fiver, wouldn't you? Typical accountant. Yeah typical accountant wanting someone to pay up on a bet.

By the way, the last time I had a bet on with a mackem was last time they came up. I had all the wittering from this lad at work about how they were coming up to stay and would finish above us etc. So I proposed a £1 a point bet - every point we finished above them, he owed me £1, and vice versa. Obviously, they set the lowest points total ever, and we went on a charge to finish 7th. And guess what? The mackem bastard refused to pay up. "If yous had finished below us I wouldn't have taken any money off you. Haway man, you can't take money off a mate." Lying bastard. People who don't pay up on bets are sub-human scum. FACT!

He ALWAYS goes on about working in London/the media. Poetic license.

Aye 6 possible combinations, only 2 of which put them against one another. I think. Still though, it looked dodgy last year an'all. Not that I actually think it's rigged.

Did he / you specify they had to come up? Aye, unfortunately. And they have to stay up for me to get the double or quits on the following season too. If they go down I just take the 100.

Graham Taylor? I'd prefer to be branded as more of an Alf Ramsay, besides Nobby did make points of his own. He didn't like. I remember his indignation when I had the nerve to suggest football was only a game though. "I can't BELIEVE there's someone on here who actually can say that it's only a game. Did I mention I work in London?"

Fuck that. I want them promoted. I want my 100 notes.

The best thing about that was how Nobby just kept posting "Totally agree Stevie" after everything you said. He was Phil Neal to your Graham Taylor.

Stevie utterly blinded by his hatred of Spurs again.

When did it all kick off with ewerk and newcastlebroon then? Have I missed something?

Speaking of over-giddy, my sister's mackem boyfriend text me to offer me a £100 bet on them finishing above us next season. I couldn't text back quick enough to accept. I've already offered him double or quits on it for the season after, assuming they stay up.

It's a proper "TIMBERRRR!" the way she goes down as well.

Did the job "Ma'am. Are you gonna co-operate now?"

They're investigating it as a crime ffs. That woman who hits the deck must have ZERO shame.

Awwww, our little Radgie's all grown up!
