I love the little look Big Joe and Sven Adult Books give the orcs shouting "scum" as they arrived - it screamed "if only that line of coppers suddenly disappeared".

That'll work for the "young" players like Ballard and Clarke with their careers ahead of them(not) . Or maybe it'll dawn on them that's the best they'll ever be.

I think he likes the supposed way Burn forms a three CB unit allowing Trippier to stay forward.

I read some of their match thread and the delusion that Ballard did well seemed to be mostly based on the idea that the challenge on Isak when he went through was the greatest piece of defending in football history and not a good case for a red card.

I used to play 5 a side and drink with a couple of SAFC fans who lived in Shields when I did who couldn't stand Mackems and never spent a second in the place more than necessary to attend the actual game.

So who reckons the next time we're on tv - next Saturday of course - that today won't stop them posting that we're obviously shit if we struggle or even better if we do well reckon they'd give Man City a game given the chance?

Should mention it was nice to see those Stevenage cunts get knocked out by a lower team. (Grudges never die).

Is that a bloke or s "lass"?

Just booking Gordon and no second yellow for Hume was blatant cowardice.

Thinking now it's a shame Ballard intervened - Isak would've had a hat trick.

25 million for Clarke marra.

What's that on his face - is he related to the headmistress in Uncle Buck?

There was a brief spell that was happening to me a few months ago but an updated Chrome sorted it. That sounds more like a core Android problem though.

Feeling a bit nervous this morning but not as much as in the past - I'm not sure whether that's good or bad...

They also had the archetypal loud black captain who was always threatening to take their badges and guns for not playing by the book.

It's a staged winter break thing - there are only 5 matches on the man city weekend as that was how we were drawn out then another 5 spread over the next weekend when we don't play.

Klopp, their players and the crowd all wanted a red for that - and of course no bookings for Van Dyk or Salah for asking for that or for asking for Joelinton to be booked. I think they are now angling to be promoted from level 1 to level 0 in my hierarchy of hatred (joining the mackems) - it's probably not healthy how much I hate everything about them.

All the best everyone.

You probably won't be surprised how many South Africans I work with "support" the cunts.

I have a vague memory of seeing that joke on a tribute to Tony Hancock when they showed a clip of "Hancock's half hour" which was in black and white as fuck to coin a phrase.

Mercer is held up as some kind of "decent" tory because he backs "our boys". What this really means is a carte blanche to commit war crimes followed by abandonment to PTSD and homelessness. He's just another cunt.

Points spread is tight though - if we can turn it around we'll be well placed.

Didn't Phillips play for England during the last break? If he did that would suggest a modicum of fitness...

If this is given we've been fucked over for Isak's.

I knew we'd end up being the supporting cast in a story. Would much rather be the villains of the piece. And I'll say it - Townsend is a coward who left us as soon as he could - fuck the cunt.
