I'm not pinching that.

Pinching that.

I unfortunately missed both the council and the ministry off my CV. Where did it go wrong?

It reminds me of the old council joke. An old squaddie goes for a job at the council, during the interview he informs the council of his medical conditions and the fact he is missing his testicles from a shrapnel wound and is also allergic to caffeine. A day later he gets the call to start. Council: "Hi, we'd like to offer you the job, we like to support ex forces and we think you'll be a good fit." Bloke: "That's great, when do you want me to start?" Council: "Next Monday if that's ok? We usually start at 9.00am but you're contract is going to be an 11.00am start." Bloke: "Why's that?" Council: "Well for the first couple of hours here at the council we just sit around scratching our balls and drinking coffee so thought there'd be no need for you to come in for that?"

A country with a high proportion of absolute fucking idiots, wankers and freaks.

They really are a bunch of fannies, 'that choke' in 1989 by the way was a backlog of games Liverpool had because of an actual disaster that cost 96, now 97 lives where it took Liverpool playing about four games in 8 days including a cup final and it still took 'goals scored' in the 90th minute to switch the title from Liverpool to them. They basically fluked that title win via a disaster.

Did you all play twister afterwards? Narrator: "And so after his origin story The Fishman did battle with his arch enemy, Wolfman. The opprobrium was writ large on the face of the senior Fishes as they wondered how it has come to this? Farken." Wolfman: "Ow! Dave you stood on my hand!" Fish: "One could argue, Neil, that your hand slipped under my foot if I were being obtuse, certainly the Xf to Xh ratio would suggest either is as likely as the other."

He's a fucking idiot, always was. He isn't so bad these days and seems a quite decent laugh but as soon as Arsenal are involved the eyes start spinning you can hear a whirring sound in his cranium, it's all their ex-players tbh, they're genuinely unhinged if a 50/50 goes against them, shame there's so many of them*. *Arsenal pundits, not 50/50 decisions going against them, I'll take the latter all day long.

Can't agree Alex, the papers and sky said he wasn't very good and lost the mind games in the one season he was in charge of us when his shitness got found out by the greatest manager to have lived at the greatest club in the world (and definitely the biggest), who beat him with his very own kids. They hunted him down and everybody lived happily ever after and the next generation of pundits for twenty years plus were formed. Amen. #SkyChildren

"IT'S A FUCKING MAG-A-THON WITH LEWK EDWARDS AND DAWN THEWLIS THE FUCKING MAG BIIIITCH! FUCK YOU, LEWK NORTH! FUCK YOU! EFFFFFF TEEEEEEEE FUCKING EMMMMMMM!!!!"

Surely Caitlin should be asking 'Who' Deepseek is rather than 'What' Deepseek is? I mean, the lad's even in her picture. Amateur hour at the BBC these days.

I must've missed all this pundit angst when Wolves seemed to be getting shafted every other week last season with VAR but he who squeals loudest etc.

I just think he's quite happy to stay out of the limelight and wrongly thinks he ultimately failed up here. Sky's never ending 'love it' video and the wrong interpretation of it through the years since has a lot to answer for and has clouded his reputation by people who were in nappies at the time or not even born and haven't got a fucking clue. To me and and the NUFC fans who watched it at the time with me it was a rallying call and if he'd demanded it we'd have marched on Old Trafford there and then!

Is that him shaking Dazzler's hand and asking him what the weather's like down there?

"Well how was that, Evan? Your first game at the Stadium of light as a Sunderland player, tell us about your emotions?" Evan: "Well to be honest I haven't quite took it alll in yet, before I came up here I was told all about the special atmosphere they can create up here and you kinda think yeah, ok, but you have to actually experience it, I mean, no disrespect to Brighton fans who were great, but when we played shit you'd get a smattering of boos but here? Wow! It's deafening, even if we've done ok but just drawn and let in a late equaliser the whole crowd go crazy, one even patted me on the shoulder when I went down the tunnel saying he hoped I'd fuck off back to the IRA and never play again for his club! When I explained I only came on for the last two minutes as a sub he just carried on booing in my face. You don't get many fans like these up here, they're a special breed, I even thought it was amazing the confetti reception the team got at the beginning of the match but thought it strange when it was still happening during the game but when some blew off the pitch near the dugout I was amazed at how fanatical they were as they'd even utilised stuff like crisp packets and mars bars wrappers to show their appreciation. Even the black opposition striker had a lump in his throat when he saw how the crowd's friendly chanting towards him had moved his watching mother to tears. I'll never forget them when the loan spell ends." "Will that be at the end of season?" Evan: "No, it'll be next week when I ask Brighton to terminate my loan deal."

Even when KK came back under fat bastard he took a few games to see what was going on and made a tactical switch involving dropping Owen back a touch playing off Viduka and Nd or Martins iirc and had us go on a good run, also got shit CF Howey into the England squad as a CB, Ossie was looking at the same thing but KK implemented perfectly, he wasn't as daft as some made out, I just think sometimes knowing how much confidence is such a thing he'd look at the opposition team, read it out saying he doesn't get in your place to each player and put a lot of trust in them to carry it out their jobs. You could argue Eddie was done like a kipper v Bournemouth by their bloke which I'm not necessarily saying but even if he was, it happens. He didn't get his tactics wrong v Man U in either the 0-1 at home nor the 5-0 the following season Vs the great Ferguson, the sky driven 'mind games' must've been on the blink that day. Also while I'm at it, his transfer record ratio was fucking superb whether it was how successful they were at the club or how much we sold them on for.

I was a fat bastard for a couple of years myself after settling down, having kids. Trouble is it's coming back! 😞

Scott was the one I struggled with as he looks a lot different but narrowed it down by process of elimination, Alex. There's none of us of a certain age who are the Greek Gods of yesteryear I'd guess? (And definitely none of them!)

No, I'm a bit more subtle than that when I want something done about something.

Pinching that.

I take chicken nonce and Hope more seriously than him and Graves. Back when I used to occasionally subscribe to sky when I cancelled and they asked why, probably expecting a financial reason, I'd always mention their sports bias and I wasn't paying to watch wall to wall Manchester United or Liverpool coverage and expected to see a balance of neutral presenters and ex-pros which sky won't supply. They probably won't get that kind of feedback now because most fans of clubs other than those two insufferably covered NW two must surely have binned them off in favour of Fire stick Sports by now?

"Great! Lostradamus has spoketh."

Must be AI as there's not enough pink seyts on view.

Or Klopp.
