“What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath and, without being able to do a thing about it, think.... is this turf in county Durham, marra?.”
 

That makes fuck all sense in the context of SAFC tbh. 

 

Quite.

My mam used to work with the bassist out of the Toy Dolls. He was in the civil service. For some reason she got me a signed photo of the band.

 

I mean this was probably 1989, 5 years after they'd had their sole UK hit and this cheeky cunt was handing out signed photos at his job in the civil service. 

Like you don’t do the same thing.

 

Which is even more disturbing when you consider that you work from home.

They had that hit in 82 and had changed bass players several times by 89 also

 

I think they gave it to Bally at one point.

So, it's obviously officially summer, so I set up my lovely Frame TV you'll all remember about to display a special collection of summer art work. 

 

This picture came on.

 

Whey I thought, as any normal person would, let's scan the crowd to see how many Mag shirts I could find.

None, zip, nada. But what's this? The only footy shirt on this art exhibit was an MLF! QED or summat.

Sunderland have paid decent money for 3 players and I've never heard of any of them. I hope to god they've put relegation clauses in their contracts
