Seen the consultant today. He seems happy it was a one off due to stress of travelling and lack of sleep. However he wants me to keep my license revoked for 3 months. If I am ok after that I can re-apply for it and should have no bother getting it back. Change in meds so all good. Felt absolutely fine after a few nights of decent kip and looking forward to going back to graft tomorrow.

CT brought his grandson to see Jacob Murphy score and he duly broke a 41 game scoring duck. That is true magic.

Vic and Bob have definitely put my route together today. Eranu!

As a kid in 70s you used to look forward to cup final day BBC or IITV both had a full days coverage with various daft/stupid competitions ..........I can still remember my dad pacing round the back garden praying for a Leeds equaliser in the 73 final....followed by a blood curdling scream when the final whistle went.

Morning cuntlugs, pleased you’ve managed to chew through the straps again I agree with you about the handballs, but decided I wanted to change the wording a bit but didn’t have time so just deleted it 👍

Harry Kane: England and Tottenham striker to read bedtime story on CBeebies - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63180793 😂 😂 The big tounge cunt struggles with post match interviews man!

I got the notification to say @PaddockLadhad quoted me on this thread, and I come here to find NOTHING. I can only assume that he stepped out of line and KNEW it was a huge mistake.

Throwing in the towel right when it looks like their team under Klopp is falling to bits some nice timing to pick your morals despite Man City’s owners being around for over a decade. The anger about the money is laughable as well, Liverpool have always utilized their substantial financial advantage over league rivals - they can whinge about Man City spending more but they themselves have out spent the vast majority of teams throughout history. I mean I’ll be honest I’ve always absolutely fucking hated Liverpool, and basically everything about it so seeing them collectively shit themselves and throw their toys out the pram is fucking priceless. Horrible fucking club.

I was, by coincidence, in Liverpool when Heysel happened. If you ever want to know just how much brass neck some Scousers have got - there was a fella in the city centre the next day selling cut price ‘Liverpool European Champions 1985’ T-shirts. I shit thee not.

The first cup final I can remember missing ( had a Saturday job at the Benton Hypermarket, as was) was 91 when Gazza did his cruciate. Throughout the 80s it was still a massive deal. Used to often watch it at Heaton Stannington. They used to have a friendly / charity game in at lunchtime. The dusty old club house with curtains drawn would be fucking packed and everybody seemed to taking a massive interest in it. Celebrating the goal(s) of who they wanted to win almost like it was Newcastle playing (which it never was of course). Also it was de rigueur to cheer as though a goal had been scored when someone came back into the room after going for a piss during the match at least once during the afternoon. Just to see them rush back in front of the telly to see who’d scored.

Time moves on and things fluctuate, or should fluctuate. The fluctuation bit is what certain clubs are trying to stop.

That and his side gig as a slum landlord, aye.

And no original genes in their collective beds.

“ Mustn’t laugh when the door opens…”

Didn't we used to pass a massive flag around the East Stand prior to kick off under Keegan or did I imagine that? It was the mid 90s and I'd be 'off my mash on ecstacy pipes' semi-regular so I'm questioning everything like timelines and the nature of reality now.

Any journo with even a passing interest in us would know that out of our 5 most popular mangers of the last 20-30 years, only one was born in the North East. Keegan Robson Hughton Benitez Howe. Puts the whole argument to bed tbh.

He’s an adult ffs!

We had 2 of them

my.brother in law is wba supporter, he hats bruce like he's never hated a football manager before. we got along quite well anyway, now we're practically joined at the hip.

I think the term 'dinosaur' always flatters this cunt. Dinosaurs once had a period of dominance.

The cup final was the grand national of football. Shankley was adamant Liverpool should win it thinking it a disgrace they hadn't in their history. Before European football the cup final was basically English football's champions league final.

Makes sense from what I've heard from older folk. Even as a kid in the 80s the cup final was a proper event, all day the adults had me excited for it no matter which club it involved. Now I couldn't give a fuck.

“ Well Alex, now that I’ve retired, I’ll have a bit more time on my trotters, I think I’ll open a Twitter and chat with my fans ?” ” Err, I wouldn’t bother Dad, … *sweats* … there’s no Twitter in Portugal!!!” “ You’re a good lad Alex, pass that kebab over please “

What people fail to realise (possibly because i might be wrong) is that back in the day, winning the FA Cup was a bigger prize than the winning the league. Least thats my understanding. The league was bread and butter but the FA Cup was the pinnacle. In 76 City had won 9 major trophies to (Man) United's 11. Most of their silverware is recent making all this history stuff nonsense as far as liverpool and manure are concerned.

They’re not allowed on 23andMe as they keep crashing the site.

There'll be a steady stream of leaks from the players now, saying how shit the training was and that the fat cunt did nothing other than stuff bacon into his bloated kite

Cabbage cabbaged, evidently

Yes we did. With or without cowies.

Peston picking up on the gilts stuff. The govt have had to completely u turn on their replacement for Scholar at the treasury today too. Had reportedly already appointed "a disrupter" last week, and were waiting to announce it. Have had to tell her she wasn't getting the job and appoint an alternative. Slowly but surely all their shit about throwing out treasury orthodoxy is being unpicked because, surprise, the markets don't like incompetents disrupting anything.

Remember that fact check website that was in fact a fake fact check written by CHHQ? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/19/tories-tweet-anti-labour-posts-under-factcheckuk-brand And btw, I see the BBC have been somewhat obsessed in reporting what Sturgeon said about detesting tories. What's wrong with that? I detest the cunts. Yet barely a squeak was made by the organisation when Braverman was positively frothing about the prospect of plane loads of refugess being sent to Rwanda on christmas day. These cunts' constant lies have destroyed this country, this is one narrative I have been banging on about since the Brexit referendum. I think we may need to collapse completely before we can begin to rebuild. We'll be in good company with Russia. We both been gaslit to oblivion.

We have the joint lowest GA in the league with 9 (equal with Man City, Brighton & Everton). I'm struggling to recall a time we've had a more disciplined backline during the 35+ years I've been supporting NUFC. Possibly under Robson when Woodgate was playing but even there, I think our current defence is a far better unit.

There’s a case for Bruce being competent and doing a decent job early in his career. He’s been robbing a living for well over a decade now. Also noteworthy he’s better regarded at clubs with little in the way of expectations. Edwards is a fraud himself though

Can't fucking help himself, can he?

tbf he was the sequel in shit Geordie appointments to Carver taking over from Pardew. Amazing how the adoration for Amersham-born Eddie Howe seems to fall under the radar. If he was born in the NE we'd be getting claims that we only back him because he's from the region. I fucking hate the media, bunch of cunts.

When you consider how far backwards as a club Souness took us, for Bruce to be more hated by anyone than him speaks volumes about the bloke.

I can imagine Pardew being canny crack. Unless he tries to buck your wife like.

Charlie Crowe mentions it. Might've been 50/51. When Newcastle won the cup semi final they had a decent chance of winning the double. But the players were far more bothered about keeping themselves for for the final than the last couple of months of the league season.

Absolutely, only need to look across the water to see which Spanish clubs are a) most in favour of a Superleague to protect the status quo and b) been found guilty of receiving illegal state aid.

I've no evidence for this, but I'd say it's a safe bet that in the last two years, Steve Bruce has been paid more than Eddie Howe.

It'll be like Don't Show Keith Your Teeth. "PEPPA PIG"

8 wins in 32 matches. If only he’d been given time to turn it around. I blame the fans

Imagine being so obsessed that you just start copying your rivals. Aye I’m aware we didn’t invent flags at games for any people with dodgy hard drives reading, but it’s a fucking massive coincidence that they started this up after we got attention for doing it. Also, was anyone killed making/performing the NUFC display? that’s how the post reads the thick cunts. They can’t just keep shoehorning murder into every post and pat themselves on the back, make an actual point about it for fuck sake

A Leicester fan making a point about the Casillas - Puyol stuff today and pedo sympathizer Paul sees it as an opportunity to ignore the point and shoehorn a weird comment about his favorite obsession.

I very largely agree with you but I also very largely agree with the broader points the scouse cunt made, he’s right about the gig being fucked but obviously and fuckin radically wrong about the position of err “Klopp’s Liverpool” in the big scheme of it all. There’s not another club in the country who in cahoots with the local council formulated and carried out a deliberate policy of decimating the neighbourhood around a major football club’s ground so it could be deemed uninhabitable and surplus to requirements so the redevelopment of the ground (in this case Anfield) to bring it up to 21st century superclub standards could take place . It built what my mate on the night of our visit in August called “the Thomas Cook Stand” ; the old centenary stand now packed with corporates and packaged trippers from Dublin, Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen…they put their neighbours out of their homes to bring in the dollar that won them the league title & champions league in the last few years. Am not sure if TT posters were aware of the howls of abuse the team got from those gathered round the tunnel of that stand as they left the pitch that night? That was the “divine right” crew objecting to Eddie’s shithousing tactics that nearly beat them, payback for the silent fear they endured for an hour, it fair ruined their fuckin trip for 60 minutes… So I, like yourself, will take no lessons in morality from those cunts. It’s tricky to go over their 80s shenanigans from this distance. It should be pointed out that Hrysel, in common with Hillsborough, didn’t have a valid safety certificate when that wall collapsed. And half a dozen or so supporters were prosecuted. I’ve no interest in defending their actions, but UEFA on the night were as bad. There are plenty of other more recent incidents that can brought up, like mugging fellow supporters for cup final tickets and bunking into the ground before legitimate ticket holding supporters could take their seats. A significant minority of them are a strange mixture of football purists coupled with a strong streak of fuckin gangsterism. They also seem to have the biggest mouths, as son of spion beautifully illustrates 🙄

That's cos Man City made the mistake of coming to SJP and thinking they could fuck with Eddie's Sensations.
