One for @Kid Dynamite on the weird North Korea advertising thing going on at Blyth Spartans.....

Thought we looked ok till Shelvey came on. Ref gave us fuck all. Again. Commentator was a knob. Again.

Rangers gave a lot more than I thought they were capable of. Deserved it although that's probably the worst two sides quality wise that I've seen in that fixture for a while and the bar is very low. The away allocation would've helped Rangers cause. Don't know what the score is there but it's not right in derby games.

3 mins stoppage time? Can see one of theirs getting sent off the way they're committing niggly fouls. Obviously the ref needs to buck a fucking massive trend but I can feel it in my bones. Good goal but if diame could pass a ball it could've been two. They started well but I don't think they fancy defending. Joselu misses that goal.

I concur.

At least 'Shola' had a well loved life and died of natural causes unlike the poor budgie MURDERED by the butcher of Boldon a couple of years ago and left under the soil in his back garden during one of his routine projects that went wrong. Take solace in that.

Don't fall for it, lads. Kid claims he's called 'Adam' but it clearly says 'Yomar' at the top of his post! If he asks you for a light in the pub then LEG IT!

There's the fundamental difference in the mindset of refs on penalty decisions. It all depends on the shirt you wear as we NEVER in a million years get that penalty. Ever. (Was just about a pen from the refs view. Just). Fact is we don't even get the nailed on ones never mind the iffy ones. Fucking stinks.

He's been decidedly iffy at times this season.

Haydon AND Joselu are starting? Is there no beginning to the talent Rafa has at his disposal?

The joys of only being able to have the likes of joselu sign for the club. Misses a sitter then they go down the other end and score.

Once had a gaffer in charge of the companies money taking us on a night out many years ago and he printed off his 'schedule' of where we going and how long we'd be in each place. He'd got the job from 'the offices' and wasn't from 'the shop floor'. Needless to say he had some arms round his shoulders explaining the error of his ways whilst he was buying the rounds in different bars at different times later on that night.

Congratulations, Fish!

Souness reckoned Everton maybe shouldn't have went toe to toe with Spurs as Spurs have better players yet Benitez gets pulled to bits by the same knackers for not 'having a go' at Man City despite spending two bob on our squad and man city having at least two players for every position better than our first team. I get the feeling they don't really care much for us or Rafa?

Pickford.

Sorry to hear about that, Strawb.

They graft their bollocks off but I'm genuinely amazed sometimes at the 'passing' our players attempt. Genuinely amazed.

We just fuck. All.

Painful to watch as per normal. That's us doing what it takes to stay up as we're designed to be shit.

That'll be because of TRAITORS like you!

Fulham at home is generally a nightmare fixture for us through the years. The fact we've lost so many home games already means at the very least we shouldn't be complacent. I'd snap your hands off for a 1-0 win atm.

He was barely keeping his laughing in when he was on sky announcing a sale was as close as it's ever been. When it's sold, it'll be announced. We'll then be asking the new owners if it's a clean break. Until then he's going absolutely nowhere.

Thanks to our Manchester correspondent, 'our kid, Dave' for that important fans update on the Mourinho situation.

Hope they have better luck reaching their 40,000 target than they did reaching their 10,000 target v Wallsall in the cup.
