I'm surprised she didn't say, 'Well if you weren't such a woke fairy you'd have been out on the street yourself with a baseball bat spreading enamel, blood and snot around the pavements, eee, our gemmill, if you were around in 1940 we'd all be speaking German now, just like Nigel Farage's missus.'

Was meant to say spurs as well as Liverpool for making the most of big incoming money for players.

What's your problem, like? Not like my username? And by the way, they're not crusty they're just well loved and been worn with pride for many a year.

They started from a better position, with better players to sell on, it can make a big difference if you sell on a player like Bale or Suarez for mega bucks and can reinvest well.

Lucky Giovanni! 😁👌

I think she lives in South Shields and married someone local? If he's a mackem that'll be classed as supporting them. But aye, the desperation of starting a thread like that.

Instant ban for @LondonBlue if you ask me?

Disappointing weekend, two points dropped and the wrong Manchester clubs winning and losing.

Sky narrative, spurs for the top 4 and in particular, us.

So we're basically saying that no club is willing to test Norfolk Mackem's valuation? [Stands back in amazement!]

Man City pissing about and spurs taking advantage, 1-0. Bum squeeking a bit here, mind. Need a ruthless blue comeback.

They're worth whatever another club is willing to pay. Has any club payed £10m+ for one of their players lately? I don't recall that happening so I'd suggest, in a shock turn of events, they're talking their usual demented shite?

Sky must fancy this spurs v man city clash as a VIP game as they've got Neville and Carragher commentating.

Last five games averages us out around 63-64 points.

It isn't all about ASM, I totally agree. I think we're looking a bit burnt out, a few players not in great form and other teams are preparing against us a bit better. All little details add up a bit.

Makes a change for me, the Lee Ryder of toontastic sentences sequencing.

He was down by the gallowgate end on the Milburn side walking back with not a player near him whilst everyone was in the leazes half and you're looking at him and he's either fucked and it's just too much for him or he's just lazy, I'd say the former as even our engines must be feeling the strain with the effort they've put in for over 12 months and I'd imagine our match fit now is harder to get to than under a previous manager's match fit so maybe a run of games would help but as has been said, I just don't see it happening as he's not built for our current set up in my opinion. He was genuinely needed when were all over the shop but those days are gone. Part of me feels a bit sorry for him as I think there's fuck all he can do about it which must be frustrating for him but he's getting well paid and will get a move to another club to be their main man so he'll get over it in the long run. We, however, can't risk giving him a run on the off chance he'll come around to our style.

My daughter could see it straight away with ASM so she's obviously a chip off the old block. There's a saying that no player ever DOESN'T try and I think ASM doesn't consciously go out to have a stinker but the lad just isn't built for this side, we've some outstanding talent but the sum is greater than the parts and that's because we are drilled with a plan and everyone grafts their cocks off, maxi just can't do it. But it wasn't just him that had a wobble, however it stood out a mile, my biggest worry was the protection he wouldn't give burn and the amount of times someone else was backing BDB up rather than ASM spoke volumes and also dragged a player away from his position. One of the plusses was Gordon and you can see straight away why we've bought him, he's tailor made for this team, such a shame Wilson didn't put that through ball away in the second half. Always thought today was a banana skin as they're far better than their position indicates and it was a case of being after the lord mayor's show but us taken the lead should've put paid to that. Disappointing result and long term we need a LB as much as I love BDB. ASM never starts again especially ATM when teams are more prepared against us.

Dyche has definitely blocked the odd toilet in his time. Probably a good appointment for them.

Everton winning against Arsenal? CT:

Basically, world football owes it's existence to Sunderland supporters as they've either founded or managed early on half of the globe's football clubs and even to this day, most of the world's football club fans have a huge admiration and respect for Sunderland AFC whilst simultaneously holding Newcastle United in disdain. In fact, in remote South American villages their holy bible is actually a 1885 copy of the Roker Review. True story. FTM.

All MLF's I've absolutely no doubt.

I heard a discussion on talksport, (bear with me here ) which piqued my interest to see what rationale would be in a sportswashing discussion between West Ham fan, Martin Samuel and I strongly suspect, Tottenham fan, Darren Lewis. Lewis opened up saying he was rooting for us in the SF v Southampton as he wanted to see us get to Wembley and face Man U and then thought to himself, Have I been sportswashed? They had a general discussion obviously not liking the Saudi Arabia human rights but admitting that we're not really bigging up SA so far and it's just been about NUFC, the resurgence, the feel good factor, the fact we're still playing a lot of the old players, we haven't spent billions on M'Bappe etc and saying, if anything, the Saudis would be under the spotlight more than they would've been had they not bought NUFC, ditto the Qataris hosting the WC which they fully admit to fully enjoying when they were there. The show, the host and the journalists were fully on board with the tricky subject of sportswashing and our part in it but after they'd thought about it, talked about it, looked at sportswashing in the past going back to Russia, the US, Olympics in Nazi Germany etc they realised it's been happening for years and they actually thought we, the fans, had fuck all to do with anything, the three of them did a U-turn I believe as the premise at the start wasn't the outcome at the end as I genuinely got the feeling it started off as a bit of a hatchet job but the reality dawned on them at the end. Nobody's really bigging SA up other than one or two knackers on twitter or on the telly iyam. I think it was like them entering a maze and eventually working their way out.

I'm in complete agreeance with this and shall be using the word from now on when the situation calls. Bravo, @Monkeys Fist, bravo.

Say you're a mackem without saying you're a mackem. Just seen the above and it's quite amusing as while Howe was supposedly blushing at that press conference by the 'recent suggestion' (It was her who 'suggested' it if you're not sure), that he was morphing into Simeone by employing dark arts, and she was getting what she thought was a subtle dig in, the laughter from everyone present was clearly audible at her question and I presume at her. Absolutely embarrassing moment for her if she's being honest with herself as it was so off kilter with the rest of the press conference.
