you from corbridge mate?

never heard of this lass till she popped up on jools hollands hootenanny, canny i thought and more than worthy of a place on the belta minge thread too!

chelsea won't have a hope in hell of competing with us by then.

the rac's took him away now! I gave him a can of hobgoblin ruby for his journey he made me chuckle that much!

so, stopped practically on the beach at alnmouth last night in the van. lush but by god did it hammer down all night. lovely dog walk this morning along to boulmer and back. set off at lunchtime homeward bound and got midway between durham and darlington on the a1 and the battery light comes on. crawls under the van and quickly works out that the alternator belt tensioner pulley's collapsed. £30 part I could fit meself in half an hour. but no, everwhere's shut. towed off the a1 to scotch corner services. aa bloke hasn't got the part and reckons the tow truck won't arrive to pick us up and take us to cheltenham till 7pm so we're expecting to see the new year in probably in the back of a recovery vehicle on the m5 just south of birmingham! on the plus side, there's a mackem in the next bay where dead vehicles live at scotch corner services with a quite admittedly nice vw transporter but with a fucked driveshaft. just been telling me everything's set up sundlund for them to take off and they've got more supporters than man utd. the bloke's inadvertently cheered me up no end! a happy and prosperous new year to you all!

the transformation of the joelinton I watched under bruce against tottenham to the one I watched last night just over 2 months later is nothing short of fucking astonishing. I have nothing other than the utmost respect for both howe and the lad himself for achieving this.

fucking superb down the left side with asm first half. oh and new name duly noted!

left the ground absolutely gutted we haven't won that. tremendous performance, BUJ in particular. hope the injury to saint maximan isn't a grim one. only disappointment was Wilson, looked poor to me for a few games now.

not a bad shout that. don't think I can handle a hammering on top of this journey. left cheltenham at 12, just passing the team valley now. don't believe there can be a single fucker in the house today, everybody in the country's decided to go for a drive.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59797335 wimbledon complaining to efl with very valid points. clearly being manipulated in the pl by some clubs as far as I'm concerned.

up for this one tomorrow, negative lft in hand.. half expected it being re-arranged but then it would appear we're the only team in the league expected to fulfill our fixtures at the moment despite probably being the one who could most do with having had some postponements till we could buy a defence and a goal scorer! anyway, 3rd game for me this season, the previous 2 being a loss and a draw. so I'm somewhat foolishly gonna predict my upward progression to continue and plump for a win. not sure how that'll happen mind, but you never know!

a belated merry christmas to you all, hope you all managed as good a one as you could under the circumstances.

in fairness to wraith he's got a really, really good singing voice on him. surprised to be honest he wasn't approached to replace pavarotti.

a valiant effort, however christmas tree has nothing to fear just yet.

bit of the green eyed monster creeping in to that post I suspect. I like diego, I also bet he knows loads of foxy latina chicks.

the problems of living in sandbanks....

this will forever be a hideous stain on our great clubs history....

I remember the poem you did the other week. you've definitely got a talent for this sort of thing.

I wouldn't buy him. looks like he's just attacked somebody with a chainsaw.

fucked beyond 'dos san miguel por favor' me.

just a footnote... was really rather good and worth catching up on. called reel stories. I saw the police at the mayfair ballrooms when I was a kid in about '78, they were supported by the cramps who I thought blew them away on the night. their following then was all the punks who hung around outside listen ear record shop near the city hall. by the time they made it big I'd lost interest in them although I'd concede they made some catchy pop records. most of all though I'd decided sting was a bit of a twat who'd sold out on his roots. anyway, came across quite personable and a thoroughly enjoyable 45 minute watch, if you get the time. edit.... he never mentioned the mackems once!

a marathon 4 hours of the police/sting on bbc2 tonight including a just about to start 45 minute interview with dermot o'leary about his life and career. it's a first airing and I'm very tempted to watch it, if for no other reason than to see if he finally gets round to addressing the letters the mackems on rtg sent him about our takeover.

unlucky leeds.

@PaddockLad, hope you manage to move them on and not lose out, sure you will though. bit gutted, checked with mrs and she's working wednesday evening or I would've took 2. anyway.... does liverpool count as the northwest? not so sure it does meself you know. I reckon kendal's about the border going up through the lakes to the carlisle area. I would say the scousers and the mancs are far closer to being welsh than they are true northern. well that's what I tell my old manchester buddy down here anyway, never fails to get a nibble despite it being of a 30 year old vintage!

11 years to the day, ashley gave us the king....
