Hat-trick for the player Simpson called pony

No mention of Paul Shane is complete without this

Been raining here all day too.

Will be an interesting dressing room with him and Warnock in it

I thought he slept in the gutter outside The Diamond. Harsh, but probably not totally untrue

Fugitive from justice or something?

Most people are average or areet looking, you get people who are outstandingly good looking. Eric Gates comes in none of those three categories. I think looking at that picture he's done very well to get through like with a really positive demeanour and a smile on his face. Genuinely fair play. Zelda off Terrahawks tbh. Looks like he spent most of his life living under a bridge, robbing passersby.

There's a chippy called Clems in Chester-le-Street, never been in because the name puts me off

Used to smoke like a chimney too, iirc. Always been a great admirer of the beard\headband combo, sadly missing in the modern player

He'll be hitting the bottle even more than usual, if that's at all possible. Face like Job Bugner after 30 years of being a lush.

Aye :lol:

Maybe Pardew sphinx he can do a job for us

Story was Seth Johnsonand went into the boardroom to discuss his contract, him and his agent went in saying "Ask for £20,000, settle for £15,000." So they went in, and they were offered £25,000. "WHAT?" Seth Johnson replied, obviously shocked at how good the deal is. Then Ridsdale replied, "Ok then, £35,000" No idea if its true like, but can believe it.

fuckin you honestly couldn't make mackems up, as a place or a peoples. They should just keep their heads down till the abuse is over and don't even try abusing us because it's like a plastic straw against a Samurai sword what we can say about them..... which answers this point ..only it is justified. What a fucking crock of shit. What that should be entitled is "What we like to believe". No doubt they got all that from a "mag at work"

Im starting to think he is one of these blokes and tells a blatant lie without battering an eyelid and then forgetting he told that lie 5 mins later. Constant bullshitter who will say what people want to hear at that moment in time regardless of how accurate it may be. Just a (slightly) more upmarket version of Joe Kinnear really.

Claire Raynor? Some fat, dead agony aunt type iirc.

James Corden.

Sounds like we are desperate for a left back. We are, just not desperate to get one that's going to cost money

Reckon Joey might be a visitor here
