Sky Sports Breaking news: 'Arry Redknapp pleads for Abramovich to give Rafa more time as the pressure mounts on the Spaniard, "Nah, you've just got to give Rafa more time, 'es a t'riffic manager, ee dahn't become a poor overnight. Would I like the Chewsea job? I can't talk abaht annuvver managers job but they're a t'riffic club, it'd be a real privilage to be manager of Chewsea, me and my old man would sahmtimes walk dahn the old Kings road and watch the odd Chewsea game, would awso be great to manage young Frank again, he's my nephew and I had him at West 'Am, but I dahn't wanna talk abaht it as they've a t'riffic manager already there, what do you think I am?"

I never shot him!

Was at that one too, Speedie was always disliked but it turned up a notch or two that day as he nearly took Tommy Wright's head off if memory isn't playing tricks. He did the same thing to our keeper at St. Andrews, Kevin Brock a year or so later. I don't think I've been to another ground as much as Ewood Park, there'd be 12,000 crowds for some of our games there and it'd be about 60/40 split between the support. We used to play 'spot the blackburn fan' before the game. Getting back to Speedie, he milked the third in front of our support as bottles, pies and coins got lobbed at him with grown men offering the little twat on climbing the fence. He was very rattled by the 'shagged your wife' chant so don't know if something was going on in the Speedie household?

There's an offer you can't refuse, scoreboard1.

2-0 to West Brom, 1st goal a well hit shot, 2nd goal a total bollock dropped by the keeper, hilarious and how O'Shea didn't get sent off on 20 mins I just don't know, books the West Brom kid for a dive when O'Shea was on a yellow, O'Shea was walking off as he thought he'd been sent off.

Thought the West Ham game ws a defeat but definitely remember Budgies little wander about which lead to their goal. Was at all of those games but the best of them was the shit game at Ewood Park where O'Brien scored that winner in injury time and 5,000 Mags started singing 'Toms Diner' by Suzanne Vega for ages even as we were leaving the ground. Never heard it sung before or after this game, an impromptu moment that the poor little dears at the maritimo match could never imagine. It seems a lifetime ago to be honest.

Anyone slagging Keegan are worse than clueless and I'd question 'where they were when we were shit'.

I was at Vale Park (biggest pitch in the league at the time), when Quinny lobbed the keeper from outside the box for a 1-0 win and we started off ok that year but a loss v west ham at home followed by (I think) Millwall was the start of mediocrity with a capital M. Fucking Notts County came up and beat us 2-0 and tried to take the piss which was shameful and I was right next to the fuckers in the Leazes that day.

You dodged a bullet missing this season. Absolutely horrendous, turgid and boring played in front of our worst average crowd that I've ever known and everyone still shellshocked by how the previous season ended. (90 mins away from possibly being Div 2 champions yet getting beat 4-1 at Boro who needed a win to avoid the 3rd division then a decent 0-0 at Roker before the gut wrenching 0-2 defeat to the Mackems which sent them to Wembley and the 1st division despite getting twatted in the final thanks to fucking Lou Macari's bet that his then Swindon team would get a howking in a cup game v a Gazza inspired NUFC a couple of years previous). This season was as bad as it can possibly get.

'Shrunken Cock' v 'Flab69'

Does anyone remember Luke Edwards constantly writing about/interviewing Kieron Dyer when he was playing for us? The Journal, 12/04,2003 "Let's kick on for Europe. That was the message Kieron Dyer gave United fans last night as I totally owned him on the nintendo gameboy whilst managing to pinch a bit of his domino's pizza......."

Danny Simpson was last night unavailable to comment on reports that Ryder asked him if Tulisa had 'any mates?'

Then again, it was a 'World' exclusive, maybe it's us that need to pipe down.

If that's his lead story then, excuse me a minute...... wa ha ha ha ha :lol: Fu-kin-hell.

Hurda gurda, hurda gurda, Pardew's a reet cunt y'knaa, hurda gurda, hurda gurda, anyone remember these fuckers?, hurda gurda, check out these apples, hurda gurda.

Exactly! A bit like that Monroe Transfer to be fair, they're both the king of the overreaction AND the king of overreacting to other people's overreactions. He's in a flat spin at the minute.

This 'Norwegian' will be telling us about the Eldon square pencils next.

Not wanting to pick people out but going to anyway. Can someone explain to me in plain English, (no graphs etc), why young Sammy is highly thought of? If this lad is a regular Premier League player in 4-5 years time I'll walk down Northumberland street in a Sunderland shirt. We're relying on the likes of Sammy and 'Bigi' for this competition and you can't tell me the first decent side we play will not turn us over. The de-valued bit of Stevie's post is spot on. The next sponsor after 'wonga' (ffs) will look at us and think 'do we really want to be associated with this club?' Even the fucking ITV4 can't be arsed with us. Whilst I wouldn't go as far as Stevie who's just showing his frustration, I'll be a happy bloke when these two cunts fuck off away from our city and club and never come back again. 'May their balls fester and their arseholes sieze up'. As for the bairns last night and their songsheet, Jesus Christ on a bike, our support isn't what it used to be is it? ysifs at the handful who made that trip would embarrassing in a full house never mind a half empty stadium (and I dont blame any fucker not going last night as it happens). Last night was all kinds of shittiness but that's what we are and not much will change in a hurry. Good to decent side when all fit, pretty desperate when a few are missing. Fanks Mike.

CT, why did you think people left the crust* in them? *Or 'ouncers' as my Irish Mother calls them. (I've no idea either).

Pacinofan! While you're on, mate, you wouldn't happen to know any of these gadgies, would you? I know a couple of Chelsea fans and they might be interested in buying this painting to wave about at any future Champions League games. Cheers!

'Is he a Yankee? No he's a Londoner' He was street tough anyway.

I was going to Roker Park in them days to watch my beloved Red & Whites, mate. It used to boil my piss that you Maggie bastards always got more in for your games than we did.

Chez in the mood tonight. Chinese proverb; 'Man who stand around with hands in pockets, feel cocky.'

Usually a couple of Saturdays before Christmas I'll climb up the loft and bring the decorations/tree down and the Wife will put Christmas music on, have some party food out and make an occasion of it with our daughters. All this while I bugger off to the match/have a pint. When I get back there's food still about, everythings up and everyones happy. What's not to like?
