I think they mean the one in a fortnight not the one in November.

I watched it a couple of weeks after my dad died - it absolutely destroyed me I should probably go back to it and watch it again really...

That's exactly what Shearer said after Arsenal last year - everybody liked us when we turned up and gave them 3 points without a whimper but now we're competing all of a sudden we're dirty cheats. Fuck them all.

Good to know a rocket up the arse is in Eddie's locker.

You aren't getting anything anywhere near that with Starmer. Then when he goes and a Badenoch/Braverman led tory party regains power they'll go even further rightward under Streeting.

Plus the "shove" against Milan. (Which I think was the clichéd foul anywhere else on the pitch).

And when they did, why were they Basque separatists?

Steady on.

Thought they were in the game apart from mistakes at set pieces.

This manager is clueless

And fuck John Denver.

Fuck golf and fuck NFL.

Fuck off Redknapp.

Gaining confidence by beating dross is the way to go.

Don't forget the elites - Murdoch having a go at those bastards. (Worth 17bn and owns 172 newspapers worldwide).

He spent a shit load at the mackems as well.

I think the main lesson from last year was we had a decent team but were a couple of injuries from Fraser and Manquillo. That's not the case now and I see the summer signings as overall strengthening but I'd still play both Joes when we can.

It's on SSN - 58 year old bloke. Not seriously injured. Bloke, his son and a mate attacked by 7 or 8 - Italians must be getting braver with those numbers.

Of course the main reason for the gap is the owner they praised and said we were stupid for campaigning against.

Okay Bob, you're a cunt. Happy now?

Or not.

Plant and Page have always topped that particular dodgy list I think.

I honestly think he didn't used to be bad when we were shite - maybe it was a comfort zone Mackem legacy but recently I can feel the bitterness bubbling under a lot more. Anyway, we're fucking shite.

Couple of weeks out according to Eddie on Sky.

Actually refreshing my memory with a look that would be Souter lighthouse/Whitburn at a push which is still South Tyneside.
