Last season we had a coach who has won La Liga twice, the UEFA Cup, The champions league, the FA cup, the europa league and the italian cup before coming here as well as winning the championship as our manager. It was reasonable to give him the time to turn things around, his record speaks volumes. This season we have a coach who has won nothing, for all hes had teams promoted hes never even won the championship. It is not reasonable to expect that he is capable of turning this around.

Interesting choice of phrasing.

I'd sit this one out if I was ye

Can’t imagine why he might be feeling the pressure, like.

The referee will start the match at the sound of a dial tone.

Must have been a fucking good x-ray to find that out!

Maybe it was obviously just my Freudian fantasises coming to the fore

So the cunts are trying to roll out not paying you a pension till your seventy five. I absolutely fucking loathe these sick bastards with a passion, I was never happy about it upping to sixty seven but this is a piss take. I managed to catch a bit of the BBC news review this morning and yesterday. Not a fucking peep. How the fuck is this not on the news? It affects every working person in the country. It's getting rid of the state pension for a lot of people and even the ones who'll qualify mightn't have much time to 'enjoy' it. Fucking middle England, the biggest set of deluded masochistic wankers going continually voting in these evil vermin. Zero chance I'll be able to do my job at sixty odd never mind seventy five and my work pensions won't cut the mustard for that length of time in between retiring and getting a state pension. The conservatives are truly poisonous. This lot put Thatcher in the shade.

Same as your military ‘career’

Plant roses.

I just dont understand how a young lad can go to a new country and lead the line for a new club in a league he has no experience of, and not score bucket loads of goals after 2 games. I mean, doesn’t he know we paid 40 mill for him and have huge expectations?

Surprised he isn't a mackem tbh.

They clearly don’t learn from any past mistakes so I can believe it.

The buck stops with Bruce. Regardless of the way Ashley runs the club, he’s given Bruce replacements, with Carrol, Joelimping, Gayle, Almiron, Maxim, Muto.. he has more choice up front than Rafa ever had (quality argument aside).. and the rest of the team Rafa organised them enough to be a tough unit to crack. If he can’t manage to make us “hard to beat” at the very least with the tools he has available.. then it’s confirmed.. he’s fucking shite.. (which is plainly apparent).

don't recall seeing rumours of any other club being interested in signing him. there appears to be absolutely no reason why we would have to pay anymore for him than we did for mitrovic, or even what fulham subsequently paid us for the serbian. dodgy as fuck i reckon!

Rafa said it would be a miracle to stay up off the back of a summer with no money spent. Bruce has had 70 million, what’s his excuse?

Coren channelling The Fish.

He's had 12 fucking years.

There really is a cabal of mysterious Tyneside businessman who plot alongside local authorities to keep Wearside in Tyneside's economic and cultural shadow.

Peaky blinders isn’t a tv show, it’s a sounding horn to allow people to spot cunts when they start wearing tweed and flat caps.

Finally got a vinyl copy of the best thing to come out of Sunderland, Leatherface's Mush. This turned up in the post as well. And the show I'm working on at the moment is all about early 80s music, so I've been channelling my my inner Gemmil and that cabbie twat but I can't bring myself to Ah-Ha or Yaz so it's this instead.
