Pleased to hear it wasn't worse, no wonder she'll be shook up about it. Hopefully the cunt gets caught, there might be CCTV you don't know about but the police might?

He reckons Luque and Owen were forced on him. Still got to manage them, though. Notices he keeps schtum on Boumsong. Luke running to tweet about Bruce, desperate to somehow shoehorn a Rafa dig in....

Aye, we know. At least I haven't heard as many moans about it unlike the arsenal fans still twisting on about the 'over the line' loss in the 32 final or their ten men sob story in 52 as told by a (I presume) arsenal fan, Charles Charlie Charles on the mic. (Some things never change, he even shows the 32 goal in his 52 cup final highlights reel!)

Bruce, and Souness to a degree, could point to the board/Ashley and say their hands were tied and leave it at that and people might be inclined to be a bit more lenient, Souness has piped up enough times about NUFC but the board come after the fans and local journalists in the blame game. I can't remember him moaning as much while in situ but Bruce moaned non stop about all and sundry, obviously not Ashley even when he was here, threw players under the bus, took no responsibility and gave his woe is me, genial bloke act to his media contacts, many of whom were ex-players whilst giving an impression he was hemmed in like fort Apache the Bronx by the pesky fans which a lot of the media were happy to go with. Souness is a revisionist, Bruce was doing it in real time so heaven help us if sky or BT reinforce the chairs in the studio and get him on. Imagine the patter between him and Souness whenever we played Liverpool or Man U?

That's the first final I vaguely remember.

The cup final was the grand national of football. Shankley was adamant Liverpool should win it thinking it a disgrace they hadn't in their history. Before European football the cup final was basically English football's champions league final.

Time moves on and things fluctuate, or should fluctuate. The fluctuation bit is what certain clubs are trying to stop.

We were tied with them in the 74 cup final for trophies won. We'd won six fa cups by the time they won their first in 65 I think it was?

No championship will go for him, surely after that? He'll not go any further down because they wouldn't pay him enough if they wanted him in the first place. At least he had the press narrative of he's done a good job/ungrateful Geordies/PL club stability to bluff a foolish chairman but he hasn't got that now. Young Alex will have to make his own way now so him and dad will be buttering up all and sundry on behalf of junior to get on the ladder.

Barcelona didn't win the European cup till 1992, would they not count pre 92? What a pile of shit.

Looked like big Al from happy days.

I'm not saying I threw too many down too quickly pre-game but I saw a lad I once worked with called John who I think I called Paul a couple of times.

'I say it all the time, it's up to other people to decide whether it's cheaper to just pay me off or carry on and watch the club I'm currently at whither and die. I'm a tough old so and so who only gets rattled when I'm criticised so ah'll dust meself down and go again till an amicable financial arrangement is made.'

Said with the detached contempt that Brummie spiv, and the others you refer to deserve.

Always got the impression Buxton was just an old bloke walking his dog along the seafront who got press ganged into being Sunderland's manager and never really knew what was going on, so a bit like Joe Kinnear.

Man U away next, you'll see a more pumped up Man U crowd and side for a reason IMO, they'll know they're in for a game and will see us as a threat. We won't get the blasé game Brighton got there, I absolutely hope we don't get a ludicrous VAR/Ref combo but fear we probably will. Let's also hope there isn't any freak injuries as well as I think we'll have a real chance of doing them.

Yep. Hammered Howe for 'not addressing it' and they're going to keep asking questions. That's great lads, start with the PL.

I liked Crosby, thought he was quite funny, Reid is good value and I didn't mind McCarthy either. Obviously couldn't abide allardyce and as for their last few managers? No idea if they've been arseholes or decent enough blokes as they've been so far under the radar. Feeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwmmmmmming. FTM.

Just put sky on and Miguel Delaney is on with another journalist, they're talking about Man City and the WC has also been mentioned, no mention of human rights so far just waxing lyrical about the Man City team and Haaland. Looking forward to hearing Delaney talking about Howe and our players.

Hope you're ok, Wykiki, the missus has had a bit bother with this in the past.
