First para, yes point taken, your post did appear on my screen this morning without context though The rest is STBO . You need to realise I agree with you. Who you need to be having it out with is the likes of Gloom who thinks it’s on.. You know I still love you Gemma 😘

Doesn’t this 2.7 figure only come into play if Arsenal maintain current form though?It’s fairly obvious to me that on their current form we’d need to exceed what they’ve done so far to catch them and pass them seeing as we’re 7 points behind them and they’ve got a game in hand, which would be nigh on impossible for the current NUFC. We’ve both come to the same conclusion. Sorry if you and Dave need a spreadsheet for that

Who’s the fuckin toddler who needs an abacus to tell them that? Again, to reiterate: stats have a vital place in football , but some come under heading of “STATING THE BLEEDING OBVIOUS” this being one such occasion

Aye he wasn’t picked for the squad in 1990 & England didn’t qualify for USA 94. Not sure if he was captain in 96 or Shearer was? I read his book and he describes meeting MvB years later in a restaurant in France after Wenger had become Arsenal manager, he was recuperating from an injury and MvB told him not to even think about retiring and to play as long as he could which I think he went on to do…

Definitely recorded for Euro 1988 in Germany… two giveaways, unmistakable Stock Aitken & Waterman production and a very young Tony Adams about to be tortured half to death by Marco Van Bastard

He passed through my old stomping ground yesterday, crossed the border at the Carter Bar, which is a climb with 3 hairpins which takes you to about 500m ….it’s fuckin brutal. He’s at Kingston Park, SJP and finishes at the Riverside in Chester le Street today…I think the honours system is largely nonsense but if anyone deserves a knighthood it’s Kevin Sinfield 👍

I’ll sell you this idiot for a tenner Dave

A colleague is taking 10 days leave from a week today so he can watch all the group games. Four games a day from next Tuesday He’s a Birmingham City fan. Not sure if this is relevant.. A work colleague of the current Mrs PL is taking a laptop into the office to do the same. He’s an AFCB season ticket holder So there is interest out there….bizarre as it seems..

Yeah, there were even some convinced Everton would go down

Liverpool and Man Utd will improve as well iyam. Nunez is a really good striker, he’s finding his feet now. They need to sign a couple of midfielders in January. Ronaldo will no longer be bitching behind the scenes at OT, if they get a bit of consistency going they’ll be up there, they look like they’re short of a striker though, they might sort that in January too. If we’re still in the top three when Europe starts again in mid Feb we might still be in with a chance…

Yeah well done Gloom for finally realising it’s not football manager and you don’t need a midfield of modern day Maradonnas & Zidanes to have a title challenge 😀

🙏🏻

Ironic that these monumental fuckin strap ons have found each other when they’re both finished

By a massive coincidence am staying at the premier inn

Aye @thebrokendoll the mean streets of <checks notes>. fuckin Tewkesbury! (am only mentioning this because am there on Thursday night/Friday on a training course & by some miracle you’re local and fancy a beer )

That’s me and a lad from our old Sunday morning team… three of us always call each other pal, it’s some daft in joke no fucker can remember the origin of around a quarter of a century after it was first coined….

More anecdotal evidence from the weekend of the spurs game that Wykiki is indeed leading a team of highly trained and deadly Yorkshire Mags 🥷

Can anyone honestly say Conor Gallagher or Mason Mount had better games than either Longy or Joe Willock? Heard Southgate’s press conference after the squad was announced and he mentioned CG’s “ability to press the ball” … Eddie Howe & the players have taken “high press” to another level this season. We fuckin pulverised Liverpool for an hour at Anfield with it, Longy laid on Isak’s goal because of it, he was five yards from the edge of the area when he picked up TAA’s loose ball. England don’t play a pressing game, not many in international football do. Willock played his fair share of international age group games but it appears Longy didn’t get as much as a schoolboy cap. Am not suggesting either JW or SL are real international class but they’re both having better seasons than Connor fuckin Gallagher and the frankly anonymous Mason Mount

GET THEM FUCKIN TOLD RAYVERS

Dan Burn will murder Havertz before he retires from professional football

If it had been given against us we’d have hung the ref

Keith Levene

My immediate thought was a Paul Whitehouse character

Debonair yank professional slaphead/actor/foody Stanley Tucci is married to Blunt's sister
