Game, set and match to CT. He shall catch a Fishy On his little dishy He shall catch a Fishy When his bait reels in.

I wanted them promoted in 88 as I hadn't actually been there till then and thought it would be good to have a 'sort of' derby. Once I went to their place I changed my mind. They also had a very nasty and game bunch of hoolies who you had to watch out for when away at the same time as they were.

Boro are an instantly forgettable club when they're not around but a horrible one when they are. Not rivals, but a dislikeable club who make Villa fans grudges against us seem like an old biddy moaning about the weather. Can't stand the fuckers, mentioned before being at Ayresome when they chanted the eee-ai-oh dirge through a Joe Harvey minutes silence the day after he died. Double decker buses met us at Thornaby train station and took us to Ayresome Park through streets with minging 'white' nets hanging from them with Granada's/women and kids with just underpants and vests giving us the V's as our buses drove past. A bitter fanbase.

Bravado Dave?

But he's a massive build, though.

I personally think mitrovic would be a BEAST in the 2nd div.

It was in Jamie and Louise Redknapp's magazine for footballers. Michael Owen thinks it's a really super read.

Nah, was definitely Australia, like.

Who? What? And why am I reading this?

Part sterilisation, part meek acceptance, part lack of power to stay away as a sign of unrest. I think MA has got off very lightly compared to the flak McKeag would've taken in the past for much less than Ashley's misdemeanors. There's no doubt in my mind the ST/all seats culture swept away a lot of the then current support to be replaced by people who would/could pay up and shut up and do as they're telt. Some of the younger generation must be their kids as I don't recognise their shit cockney wanker style craic especially at the odd away game I get to. Or maybe I'm just being nostalgic? They say the truth is usually somewhere in between two POV's.

To wit.

Read the book the series is based on by the yank agent. Series one has just about covered 80-90% of the book. Fuck knows how they're going to string a second series out of it?

Fergal Sharkey?

Racist and homophobic.

To be fair, he knocks around with the fish, so you knaa, he's obviously not the full shilling. His tapas isn't the Queen's English.

Never, ever understood the need to declare 'I'm a season ticket holder' as if it's a badge of pride or makes you a better fan. The only people who could afford season tickets sat in the west stand or east stand and were the classic tartan blanket/get your flasks out types. You couldn't get a season ticket in the gallowgate till the promotion season as they didn't exist before then. Personally think the ST culture fucking ruined English football in general and Newcastle United in particular.

I used to know someone like that. His nickname was 'Knackers'.

Taylor and Owen would be like Dougal and his opposite number in Father Ted.

He's American. I'm guessing he hasn't trudged through the eighties with CT in the dark at St James' Park in the gallowgate end in the rain.

600 Euros to watch another club?

I've never followed through despite being regularly arseholed. Not sure how the drink/shitting connection works to be honest? (apart from shitting through the eye of a needle the next day)

Whereas your manager just THINKS he should manage Real Madrid.

He simply HAS to know that the people HE put in place are just not up to the job. That's why the buck stops with him.

Ouch!
