Even 12st man fuckin hell. If I was 12st people would think I was a heroin addict, I was skin and bones when I was 13st never mind 12. I put it down mainly to stress, running again and being a little more careful with food as well as my job where I'm on the go. But mainly stress and running. I suppose your appearance depends on your height as well, I'm 5 foot, ten.

I now fluctuate between 11 stone 5 and 11 stone 9 depending on weekend blowouts/drinking etc, once upon a time not too long ago it would between 12.3 to 6. I'm pleased with that, a little more and i'll be happy but happy as it is.

Robbie Elliott was decent, Beresford was a cracking leftback. Bernard was canny and err....... Stimson was really Jason Donovan's understudy when he was playing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat but got lost one night whilst playing at the Theatre Royal, got pissed and was signed by Jim Smith who was equally drunk and thought he was Andreas Brehme the West German left back. Sweeney was a Butchers apprentice from Scotland who Smith spotted one day chasing chickens around the Butchers yard with a mad demonic look in his eyes as Smith popped in to get some chops for their lass. He thought he'd do a job in the second division. Darren Bradshaw used to lead funeral corteges in a slow, dour manner befitting his Yorkshire roots, so when the Bald Eagle had to wait ages at a junction to let the cortege past he thought his speed would be the ideal foil to Kevin Dillons headless chicken style. More as the memory cells return.

A Walker lad goes on Dragon's Den and takes his time setting up his old Gamekeepers pouch and getting his shotgun out and prepped all in front of the non-plussed Dragons. Finally after a minutes silence Theo Pathitas asks, "Do you want something of us or do you have some kind of idea?" to which the Walker Lad finally pipes up, "Aye it's a simple concept, Theo, just put your money in the fucking bag and I'll be having your Rolex too, Charva."

Are you Ian Cusack? If so pm me your mobile and I'll give you a bell, I've heard a lot about you. There was an Ian Cusack who wrote some articles in True Faith some years back (maybe still does). The Rock and Dole years weren't a bad read tbh, though one incorrect line from The Jam's That's Entertainment sticks in my mind. The Rock and Dole years were a great read but I remember getting a bit of a patronising letter from him about something I picked a bone with him for in an old fanzine called Talk of the Toon. Was nothing to get too excited about but he was proud of his Republic of Ireland roots even though he wasn't Irish and claimed to prefer Dundee Utd over Celtic if my memory serves me. Is Gene Clark one and the same?

It's a shit bar, like.

His wages. They get to prove a point and save his wages when someone 'buys' him. NUFC and the team don't have any relevance.

Only one way to piss him off in this day and age. But its too late for most as they've already bought their season tickets at the earliest ever ask for a renewal I've ever known. (Wonder why that was?)

So it would be pretty safe to say, Nolan, Barton, Carroll and Enrique were our best players last year and all on a good wedge. All will probably end up off the pay roll but there's always an excuse. If they were prepared to keep him in prison, (where he never slagged the board), but will not tolerate him when he does slag the board, then you have to question whether the Bargain Basement Big Man and his lickspittle pal have the interests of NUFC at heart or are two big babbies? How NUFC are any better out of this only you and a small select number of people will know. Giving one of your best players away is a crime when your very status in the top league is under threat, (and believe me it was and will be even more so now). I tell you what, watch the difference between last seasons fightback against Arsenal and compare it with the opening game of the season when we'll be well beaten. Unbelievable. If I felt wronged at work I'd speak my mind to my employer and anyone who would listen, its called having balls, something that doesn't seem to happen much anymore. If there's a problem at the club, I'd rather hear about it, thanks. I'll listen to both sides and make my own mind up. I'd rather that than hear the 2nd luckiest man to get a NUFC managers job in my memory, (JFK pipped 'Pards' to that one) mark my card with whatever shite he's been told to peddle to the masses today. It stinks and if we go down then whose fault will it be this time? Either the four best players or probably Keegans again.

Aye, all these parasites fucking the club over, thank God we've got people like Llambias fighting our corner.

I think we are one of the first top division clubs in the last 20 years who are truly living withion our means....with mountains of cash to spare too. If we do manage to stay up next season it will be a small miracle for all the wrong reasons (its more than possible if key players stay fit for most of the season iyam) and will only encourage Ashley to attempt to continue treading water for the next decade or so. Is this why ST prices have been frozen for 10 years?... Apart from Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal, Man Utd, etc etc Do those clubs also have mountains of spare cash as well? (Which was part of the point Paddocklad was making, I think?)

Nick, do you think Kevin's penis penetrated 45 front bottoms in the Netherlands?

Hi guys!!! He has balls of steel, seed of molten lava straight from depths of Vesuvius and the shaft of Excalibur. What a guy! The cap is well and truly doffed in respect to Londonderry's finest.

but with Nick's napper on it would be

Tail between the legs again for the Mackem, Felch.

1992-tastic!! So before the famous 1992 when we formed, did Sunderland have the best football team/players/stars/attendences? Or are you just a little bitter and talking shite? You can have a bonus point if you can include the words 'deluded' and 'smashed phoneboxes' to go with the '1992' guff.

A lot of Man City fans used have a real chip on their shoulder when it came to NUFC and I'm not talking your usual inter-club rivalry. They've had to put up with a bit of shite and had their neighbours success/news rammed down their throats. The only thing they could cling to was a decent support sticking with them and being defiant against the odds, '33 years and we're still here' etc. However when that's your main selling point it must've grated like fuck when along comes little old NUFC in a similar state getting more plaudits and fans through the gate and then having their manager who they all liked at the time harping on about NUFC at every opportunity. They felt a bit jilted like Jack Wolz as his protégé with the best bit of ass he'd seen in the business preferred Johnny Fontane with his olive oil voice and Guinea charm. I think I might've wondered off track there. You get my drift, though. Bitter Blues? Some definitely, an obvious ally for the Mackems.

Some twat* in the Daily Mirror who was so controversial I can't remember his name, used to regularly have a go at our support and base his assertions on Sunderland having a bigger and better support than us purely based on this game. For the record it was the last game of the season and Sunderland were 90 minutes from either staying up or going down. They got beat 3-2 and went down. *Who supported Man City.

+1

"Ah waz they-ah at Mai-ann Roa-ad! Eigh-ah-tain thou-a-sand of Roa-a-ker Parks finest showing the Mags what rea-al support was"

The Man City relegation game was being swelled by a thousand every time I heard Metro radio gave you an update, I'm not kidding, it started at 11,000 and by the time I switched off it was at 15,000 plus. Man City and Sunderland have been having a love-in ever since.

Ghandi? Hmmmm. My tongue is a bit like his flip flops when I've been on the piss the night before. Nick, was this the answer you were looking for or just simply one of the answers?

He's a bell end in person him like ignorant fucka. Someone needs to tell him no one in the history of Tyneside has ever called a car a "murtur" n'aal. Aye, he absolutely loves himself. I've actually met his brother, Chris, as well. Had a chat with him and he comes across as a sound bloke. Much more down to earth etc. My old workmate chinned one of the Donald brothers years ago at school. Lets hope it was the lesser of the two.

Mackem, you can toddle back to what you doing, tail between your legs, Mags laughter ringing in your ears as per usual.
