Well that's turned straight off so I don't have to listen to Jill Scott, Joe Cole and Souness. It says everything about the former two when out of the three I'd rather listen to Souness, mind.

Quick! Get Henderson on while the iron's hot!

It's amazing what a difference a substitution can make, Scotland back in it. Fair play to Clarke for his Maguire substitution.

So you're saying it's fish's fault if we don't win the group, right?

'Ah waz telt years ago a load of shite about the greyat north run being a Mag hayatred of Sunderland, it was another MLF who told me as we sat and wanked each other off spinning conspiracy theories about the mags. It might be bollocks but ah think he came first when ah mentioned ah heard from someone else that ponteyaland airport was originally going to be at the Washington air museum until Newcastle council overruled something and demanded they got it instead. Actually, ah might have squirted me sarce fust...... canna remember, marra? FTM etc'

Mysterious Cabal of Wearside Businessmen "We need to get serious and get this club back on top. We might have to start some doping to give our players an advantage and get ahead of a certain Tyneside based club. Get on it, marra." "Will do, boss " ..... later on.... "How did you get on, marra?" "Our budget is a bit restricted, couldn't get high performance athletic enhancing drugs, got some placca bags and a few tins of glue instead." "For fuck's sake, we're eternally fucked aren't we? Glue sniffing? How's that going to work?.......... Fuck it, give it a go."

It isn't even just them, our opponents next week* were relegated as well for corruption in the early 80s so will be amusing if their fans put up up some holier than thou banner when they play us as I can't recall anything like that happening to us. *Not Brentford.

It's not like certain clubs in Italy to be a bit corrompere, is it?

I hope nobody from Nike was watching it. 'Oh! There's a Nike shirt, must be one of our generic shirts we franchise out to third parties. I wonder which team it is? Probably some local high school or something?'

That's Eddie telt, good and proper. Imagine, imagine, imagine if Eddie had actually mentioned Sunderland or ever given them a moment's thought? Said it before but some of Sunderland's managers meant either nothing whatsoever, (the one's I knew, not some of their more recent ones), or some of them seemed decent enough blokes, Mowbray would go in that bracket, Reid, Crosby etc. They just can't see past the bitterness and are too thick to to realise it.

Eeeee, we woulda been top dogs of the north east if it wasn't them meddling, great looking, nails MLFs putting us in our places on a regular basis. Sad.

Just seen another clip, 'Sunderland till I die! Cmon.' What a hero as he runs away from Howe.

What does he say? Only thing I can vaguely make out is 'come on' but I'm not sure?

Fucking Mag Arrows more like. FTM.

He's painted himself into a corner. Get on with it Barney Rubble.

Sat in the garden, shorts only, ice cold glass in hand, listening to Bob's casino and other new* picks I've downloaded recently from Spotify feeling zen as fuck , holidays haven't been this great for ages, melting away the hangover with an icer or two. *To me

I'm not really sure I fancy it to be honest. The nebosh stuff that is, the library stuff sounds cosy.

September 8th 2024 "Hello? Mr HMHM? It's the hospital, about those tests we did a couple of weeks ago, are you sitting down? Oh! Silly me, before I give you the bad news.....Happy birthday!"

Don't get me wrong, I knew it was coming but the timing was a bit special, just like last year when the royal chief decided to pop her clogs and my birthday was basically the wife virtually in tears watching the news.

Cheers!

I should've became the FiLs 'Apprentice' years ago when I started seeing the wife. I did a few weeks work with him and another lad who was helping him when I was laid off one time. He didn't have a legitimate business as such but the skills would've been invaluable. Trouble was the money was decent and reliable when the phone call came in to go back to my work and once taken on full time it was a 'job for life' (or so it used to be, I was just born too late and naturally they shut it down and moved elsewhere because fuck the NE). Hindsight is a great thing but back then the FiL was very, very hard work especially showing you what to do, you basically didn't understand a thing he said and he just refused to elaborate.

On a completely unrelated note and getting back to my redundancy, here's a puzzler for everyone. All the tax breaks these cunts have been keen on for certain people despite spreading austerity for everyone else but one tax non-break that sticks out like a sore thumb yet I've never heard anyone mention it is the tax fee redundancy payment being the same today as it was when I was made redundant from S&N in 2007! It hasn't changed and is still at £30,000. Now people might think what's the problem but this is a potential company payment, not a government one and you're ultimately losing your job to get it. If a company decides to give you a decent redundancy payment these cunts have obviously not put the tax free limit up for at least 16 years, (I'm pretty sure it's longer than that as well although a quick look isn't conclusive) because, why? Is it their dogma that the more money the plebs get, the more likely they'll want to stay out of work? It's funny what tax breaks they're interested in and which ones they're not.
