  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. Is that him shaking Dazzler's hand and asking him what the weather's like down there?
  4. "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."
  5. 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.
  6. I was a fat bastard for a couple of years myself after settling down, having kids. Trouble is it's coming back! 😞
  7. 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!)
  8. No, I'm a bit more subtle than that when I want something done about something.
  9. 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?
  10. Must be AI as there's not enough pink seyts on view.
  11. Fair play to Man U, they're now 5 (five) points clear of Spurs.
  12. Breaking news! The premier league have now retired goal line clearances in tribute to the Man United kid after successful and sustained lobbying by TNT's commentator.
  13. Is she playing 'all along the watchtower' by Jimi Hendrix?
  14. Urgate finally getting his second yellow and is off, oh silly me, he never carded him all game until now.
  15. I see it's the Man U show on TNT? I bet Camel features never mentioned the fact that Urgate got away with a blatant yellow then went on to commit another two fouls and remain absolutely card free, he'll do it again because he can.
  16. Taylor from Manchester doesn't book urgate for a stonewall yellow.
