It was a very sympathetic production but there's only so much sugar you can sprinkle on shit.

That's it, then. That's it for me. I thought it was canny funny them getting beat by Fleetwood and confirming their non automatic promotion but knowing the goals went in to the Captain Pugwash song is probably my highlight to their season so far, maybe even better than losing a penalty shootout at Wembley.

Someone once wrote 'Even Hitler feared the Toon Army' on my old workplace bogs. Someone also wrote 'Shakespeare came here to sit and think, I came here to shit and stink'. The latter was signed, 'The people's poet'. Not sure who wrote that one?

We can get results v Liverpool at home, I think we're unbeaten in four, but can't see us getting anything on Saturday especially if we're missing key players. No way will Rafa roll over but he'll do his best to frustrate them with whatever he's left to play with come Saturday. Not arsed at all who wins the league, both sides have been outstanding and deserve it but think a last minute winner against them in a 4-3 win would be splendid.

It's interesting that there's 'plenty out and about' who'll sort out any away fans as I was told there was a few lads over there for a piss up/stag do all with NUFC shirts on very recently and not a peep was said by anyone in fact a few locals looked a bit nervous by all accounts and the police apparently moved them on and out of the town by 9. Don't know any of them and it could be total bollocks but my mate who told me isn't prone to bullshitting and reckons he was with them for a couple of aways a few years ago. Dangermows and Riever must've been washing their hair.

You know who's fault it is don't you? Not Coventry fans, not Portsmouth fans, no, it's......

Kennedy one of the game changers here, like. Absolute waste of space considering his first season. Is he injured?

'Macca' and 'Fletch' comfortably the worst commentary combination. They're fucking devastated so far.

Get the fuck in! Superbly worked goal.

Charlton v Sunderland in the play offs, you say? "Memories Light the corners of my mind Misty water-colored memories Of the way we were...."

Play offs only now for Sunderland. Squeaky bum time now at the 3rd division club.....

2-1 to Barnsley.

He was Boro's answer to the likes of Clarky, Stevie Watson, Robbie Elliott etc. Except he never played in a really good team. Or was a good player. Fuck it, here he is in another shit team doing the biz..... 'Jimmy Bollock' of the Boro.

Any idea which spectacularly gifted player this was?

@Monkeys Fist putting the wanking smilie on hold till he ascertains that that's definitely a bit of fanny, (what with it being Eurovision and all that, you never know).

They live off that 4-3 so zero chance they'll be ditching that footage any time soon. Off the top of my head I struggle to recall any such disappointed players/manager footage from any other of the regular clubs near the top when they've been beaten in an important fixture. Some clubs seem to get a bit more respectful deference more through self preservation probably, but still.

Fucking laughable how sky built up a title decider in the latter stages of the season and a derby as well then spend all pre-match and post-match talking about the losers and also rans rather than the actual title race. Can you imagine last nights game in hand for Man City was against us and they beat us this time. How much time would've been used to talk about NUFC? We'd have been the same irrelevance to their title narrative as Man U should've been once they'd been dusted aside. As for the losers, fair play to Keane who was closer to the truth than Neville who used the classic 'agents fault' instead of calling out the player involved, but even Keane questioned the desire when surely it's not just down to desire, some of their players are just not good enough to be anywhere near a title challenging side. We all pissed ourselves laughing when the Norwegian Carver© got the job and to the surprise of no fucker at all he's hit the Glenn Roeder season 2 stage in season 1 already. 26 years trying to buy the title is a fond memory and I reckon there's a chance they could emulate that. (10 years is a knocking bet).

Fuck me, Sky have an absolute raging bone on for Leeds, like. They're on just about every week and I see one of their channels has highlights from derby v Leeds followed by West Brom v Leeds.

You don't understand, there's a cabal of mysterious Tyneside businessman with huge investments in league one paying massive bonuses to opponents of Sunderland to keep them down and keep Newcastle up or something.

Btw, did we ever get a definitive answer to how many of our players would get in their team?

It'll be tough next year with Ipswich dropping down.

Lads, I don't know why we're laughing, it's no big deal because if they don't go up it'll be perfectly fine and a....

Ole Gunnar Jack Dross going over to the classiest fans in the 3rd division applauding them for their support and apologising to them, especially all the Feyenoord fans and all the other fans of the many, many clubs they have a special connection with who've travelled to London road. FTM.

Things worse than I thought at Man U......
