I was a bit jealous tbh but then we signed Shearer the same pre-season so ........ (I remember poor old Supermac declaring Boro had got the better deal).

He was always one of the more mediocre commentators around in the 80s, he definitely got the BSkyB job by default as none of the main commentators or presenters fancied it thinking it would be a disaster and nobody was able to watch it.

Ravenelli didn't do too bad and even at the time it blew my mind that his last game for juventus was scoring in the CL final then he's off to fucking Middlesbrough.

They haven't mentioned what's happening regarding the membership? ST renewals are mentioned but there's nothing regarding the membership? Will there be any more STs released? (I'd doubt it), if there was what would be the new criteria for even being allowed to have a chance of getting lucky in the random queue? I couldn't buy a three CL game package as the chances are I'd miss the lot through work. As AH says, it's the way of successful clubs. We found this out in the 90s and history is repeating itself.

I feel like ringing them up, I'm not totally clear of the fucking gastroenteritis yet. Better but it's still clinging on and I'm bored out of my skull. Can't even have a Charlie Chan.

I put it on for about an hour, where the fuck has Richie Benaud gone? And what happened to the catchy music at the beginning? SHITE.

It doesn't mention members at all. I might become a YouTuber and get in through that ticket.

Young Twitter 'toon' fan: "I'm talking shite." Also, young twitter 'toon' fan: "yep, I'm still spouting rhubarb."

I hope the club aren't labouring under the misapprehension that mugs like me will file along in some fucking shit fanzone as a consolation prize whilst paying for the privilege? When you don't even get the sniff of a ticket for an 8,000 allocation for a poxy friendly the odds don't look great. I'm truly the second prize of NUFC, like. (But I didn't put the hard yards in according to the hard of thinking on twitter). I'm officially retired from NUFC games when you see shit like this.

I'm sure he'll be presenting question time this time next year.

I like Maxi but I wonder if there'll be room for him in our team especially when he's an obvious asset to sell for more priority positions? Plus he has you pulling your hair out in frustration at times. As I'm older than 20 he'd be nowhere near any of my favourite NUFC players of all time, not even close and I acknowledge he's shit hot 'on his day'.

Maxi skinning the grass and nobody else v Palace. Chris Waddle, nearing the end of his career, skinning Ryan Giggs.

Speaking of DHgate I noticed a very good version of the 82 KK shirt on eBay, did some digging and dhgate are now doing a version complete with proper umbro diamonds going down the sleeve, you can't really tell by their photos but seen a pic of it in a review plus another completely independent pic which I assume is from them so it's looking good as long as it fits! If it doesn't, I'll give it to my mate and order a bigger one, only cost £15 odd. (Now I've had a look I can't find the pics so still a case of wait and see).

Gan on, Wykiki!

Still not as bad as Martin Tyler presenting Sergio Aguero as he left Man City his notes from the game they won the title and he went 'Agueeeeeeerrrrrroooo' or whatever as if it's in all time legendary status. The smugness on Tyler's face as he's handing it over and the bemusement on the Argentinian's is telling.

I didn't really think it was because you were ordering that type of gear or I wouldn't have made the Pele quip but it's absolutely fuck all to worry about to be honest, at least it's in use!!

Clutching at straws like your SunderIreland tbh, ewerk.

I've asked my Scottish Italian mate who once played for Kilmarnock, Silvio Tattiesconie, what's going on and he reckons there's a chance.

Barella's a grafter, makes good runs, couldn't see him being cheap?

Bellamy having a chin wag about us. Tbf, a lot more complimentary than I'd imagine and he holds his hands up he wasn't innocent, worth a watch if you're bored plus nails it about the slapstick club we became at times under Shepherd. (Obviously the worst was to come but, err.....) The kid interviewing him must've put that average stuff up for clicks.

But would he get a game for Sunderland?

Unrequited love. Sad.
