They seem to not mind commenting on stuff where they weren't born or were in nappies?

I can't remember if Jamie Pollock was still there around then? Looked like he spent his spare time chasing parked buses.

Ask her and the rest about anything to do with NUFC pre-the nearly title year and the errrrms would be through the roof.

A premier league piece about us, canny enough etc but why is obligatory to have the usual suspects piping up in it? Taylor Payne, who has now giving up searching for Phillipe Albert it seems, (whom he never saw), plus Wykiki's lass is on telling us about Newcastle, the people and how we want to see hard graft because we are industrial workers or something? What the fuck would these know about industrial work? I'd pay good money to attend a NUFC history class hosted by the usual talking heads, I'd be front row taking it all in......

Also recall supermac tipping Boro to finish higher than us, who had just finished second then signed one of the best strikers in the world. (For all boro's decent players they weren't a team and still had the likes of Curtis Fleming).

Ravenelli scored a hat trick on his debut at Boro, first game of the season, a big story but it was against Liverpool so it was sad face emojis in the media.

Boro had no fucking business getting Boksic, Ravenelli and Juninho. I'd forgotten about Boksic, he was just a very good forward.

Honestly didn't even know they had a game.

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!!
