Happy Face

You're off your mash. Look at the lines on the pitch. Fella on the far side is level with Colo and Willo, on the nearside he's on the line of the cut and then some.

Even the "ROAR!!!" you get after a minutes applause was barely any louder than the polite applause. It was nowt to do with the game. Just the people there couldn't be arsed to give anything to the shower of shite from the boardroom down to the pitch. Pride intervened when Mike Williamson looked 50,000 of us in the eye and said "I'm man enough to win this, are you?"

There wasn't yesterday. I meant during the Mackem game. Yesterday was dire. A morgue of a place. Some light booing at half time quickly stifled. Willo's tackle lifted the entire stadium. and from then on the team were willed into attacking. The pace of the players seemed to go up 200% and they passed the ball forward with a sense of urgency and purpose rather than slowing play down and looking sideways or long. During the Spurs game last week there were fights between fans in the Gallowgate corner. Look at the MAOC twitter feed today and 'you will see five or 6 disparate groups arguing with one another about how bad they are, criticising each other for the protest turnout rather than realising it's their twisted ego's that is turning people off, rather than joining forces and uniting as a faceless, nameless mass, against the real enemy. The Bloody Romans.

Anyone here got any doubts? About their kids or their dad? Statistically a few must.

We've scored less goals in our 27 game pursuit of 8th this year (33) than we did in our first 27 games in last years scramble to survive (38). It really is 14 bald men fighting over a comb outside the top 6.

The importance of the tackle has been diminished for me by the realisation Agbonlahor was offside anyway.

On average, since 1996 (20 team league) our point total after 27 games is 38.1 points. Our current total has been bettered 6 times in 18 years.

I was thinking more of the Sunderland game that saw Kinnear sacked soon after. Yesterday you could hear a pin drop until Bobby Williamson stepped up.

50,000 singing get out of our club you fat cockney bastard less so.

Happy Birthday. Following Tooj's birthday present, I was going to ask about your globes but I'll leave that to the usual suspects.

Their heart's in the right place, but...... To me 9 people showing up only strengthens the Ashley position that it's a few over-expectant fans that are disgruntled.

Taylor once made a tackle like willo's and then woke up in a spunky puddle.

I enjoyed Gob's episode. Always my favorite character.

Last series of Arrested Development. A year late. Does it get funny?

Happy Birthday and that

Stuart lee's TV show is back soon with Chris Morris taking over from Armando ianucci.

For anyone else that wants to be surveiled, this new site is excellent... https://firstlook.org/theintercept/ First Look will be doing lots of separate web magazines targeted at different areas, They've got Glenn Greenwald doing all his NSA reporting at that Intercept page which is also where Jeremy Scahill (Dirty Wars) will report. They've signed up Matt Taibi to do another one concentrating on Financial skullduggery. These have been my favourite reporters for years and they're all being head hunted by Pierre Omidyar (multi billionaire ebay founder) to create a news outlet worthy of the name without political affiliation....

Poor sods. All them emails from me arguing with me mam.

Hope he doesn't get the France games. "Remy's raped him ther...... oh!"

What's the score there like, I've not been following it. Are they all disgruntled Klitchko fans looking to get him a title fight?

Leazes will be taking the BBQ off the shed roof, replacing the pork with Tandoori chicken and inviting the neighbours round next.

They're paid by Radio Newcastle...for a show that relies on fans enthusiastic enough to ring in and discuss goings on 5 days a week. Fans apathetic enough to stop going are a bit of a conversation stopper for them, once you get past the Ashley situation.
