A drunken fan at a sunny pre-season game at Hartlepool giving our new Cypriot player a bit of encouragment but struggling with his name gave us a grin at the time. "Ha'way there, Nicos Papa...wappa...vappa...lappa...WOAH'YAFUCKA!"

Very good.

My pay was wrong too, not for the first time.

The lad is no mug being from St. Anthonys, to be fair.

Did Bodega, also popped into the trent post match. Bumped into paddocklad for the first time in a couple of years. A grown up with great patter, all my best wishes to his old man btw.

Cocktails could cost a squilion dollars, they're still mostly as described above. Sickly sweet.

Privatisation has been a roaring success and as a nation we'd love it to finally gets it's teeth into the NHS as well wouldn't we, eh? Or maybe not. Wasn't too many Tory seats in the North East so not sure who the 'we' bit is who voted them in three times, like CT.

Brian Moore does a cracking bit of commentary here as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QsM0cc8aEE

CT! He walks his dog, CT! etc....

As regards the Schooner it's just tradition to top it up maybe in the belief you'll get a better drink. The Dog bit I'm assuming you already know.

My World will end when you ditch that avatar, I know that much.

Maybe I'm immune to Leazes as he didn't bother me in the slightest whether I agreed with him or not.

What he says! Ha'way CT, you'll be telling me you've no idea that it's called 'Dog' or why, next!

Best commentator around I thought especially at a time when they didn't have sidekicks which was better by far. I love this commentary on a goal scored by Supermac; (Love seeng the Toon end at Burndon, a far superior ground to the placca shite that took it's place).

Am neither those three options you've listed but I don't think the place is a million times better at all. It's just about the same from my perspective.

Had a few bottles of McEwan's No1 Champion last night whilst chilling to some music and enjoying our new mein kampfy settee*. I really recommend this drink if you like dark ales, we used to brew and bottle this drink on occasion at the Tyne Brewery but it originates from the old Fountain Brewery in Edinburgh. It's obviously been sold off by Heineken, (who took over S&N) to an independent small Brewer in Edinburgh but it's still a superb drink. 7.3% abv it'll get you super chilled out in no time and put hairs on your chest, take it from me. Two bottles for £3 in Asda or £1.70 a pop. (500Ml) * I fell asleep on the settee and crawled to bed at three when I awoke.

Rob Lee would've probably scored and we'd have had a great chance of getting that Old Trafford monkey off our backs but that little shit brings him down to prevent that scenario. I understand fully what he did and it cost my club, so that combined with the Hughes incident and the general all round arse licking he got means I bare a grudge, I make no bones about it. I tell you what, the Man U PR machine is highly effective I'll give them that, had Suarez done that to Ben Arfa I don't think there'd be the same charity awarded on here.

Aye, remember them both, the rubber faced cheating little twat. Got away with the smash on Hughes, scored the goal and no inquest at all from the media. Here, man, fuck off you loon.

They make a nice couple I think. Bird brain and bird cock.

Off from yesterday through to the 6th.

She apparently tweeted her thanks to her self-pic happy boyfriend for treating her like a 'princess'. Can anybody confirm if they've crashed their car in a fatal accident after a night on the piss? Cheers.

Didn't/couldn't get to that one, HF. To be fair we put every club we've played to shame in the neutral venues for finals/semis/charity shields etc. I remember a lad going with us to Blackburn one year, (not sure if it was the 'Speedie' game or the 'Toms Diner' game, but he had a nickname of the Weasel because he was skinny and slight of build, we made him get the first round as he could somehow slip through the biggest queue at any bar and get an order in where the bigger lads would then take over the carrying of drinks. Anyway, he ordered about 18 pints, we removed the 16 pints, (two each as it was chocka) and as the lass went to get the last two the weasel slithered through the 6 deep bar in a flash as the lass returned to see him gone and all the 16 pints scattered throughout the bar to who knows who. He wasn't a big drinker and he got mortal pretty quickly and as we went through the car park to the ground and saw all the vans/buses approaching the weasel being full of drink started applauding the buses in to the car park in the style of Keegan to our fans which was fucking hilarious at the time especially as the supporters on the buses were laughing at him as well.

Just thought I'dd add the fact that you'd get half the Gallowgate singing 'If you're going to [insert football club here], clap your hands' at the home games prior to the away games they were singing about which I'd completely forgotten about till my mate reminded me the other day. It was the start of a Geordie mobilisation for the next away and was a pretty good way of gauging how many we'd take the following week! (Probably means nowt to younger posters but it makes me smile).
