I do fancy Marseille one of these days. Flights are cheap from London, it just depends on if I’m going to be bankrupted by the trains. And then if they bother to turn up

TBF, I had considered doing a few days in Belfast but something along the lines of what has been suggested seems more likely. I’m about 5 years away from being a total social hermit anyway so I’ll look at Wales/Scotland/The late 1970s

They wouldn’t pay 500k for Hyypia, I believe. Or they wouldn’t pay £1m and offered 500k. Something like that anyway

Fuck it, we’ll just go to Greece again

Looking at holidays for next year in this immediate post-holiday depression. Anyone been to Madeira? It’s tickling my fancy when I look at the area and food and the hotels aren’t pisstakingly expensive where we can get a good, smaller hotel and not get our eyes ripped out. Expensive when you’re there etc? Also, anyone got any unheralded places to stay in this British hellscape? Not necessarily in the sticks but coast towns/smaller cities that I may not have considered. Fancy a few days away somewhere in February

Just buy a load of Chicago Town Pizzas and send someone to McDonalds for chips

I imagine the former will be the plan but our lads are well off the boil. Barnes can score from anywhere atm but Isak and Gordon, who tortured you last year, haven’t got started yet this year

Not sure why Pearson is complaining, the club are footing the bill for his stay anyway

It would take an almighty turn around in our form for us to get something on Saturday, I wouldn’t worry

Cacapa I can maybe halfway believe Allardyce with that one.

Didn’t we do all our business really early that summer too? Sure we already had the likes of Smith in when we went abroad for pre-season

Played on worse than that before ffs. Might mean some of our players can get their first touch right too

Kyle Walker What a tit

That hot dog (?) looks like some sci-fi afterbirth

14 nights away, they’re quite common.

Watched 3 episodes of Silo on the plane over and have the rest for the trip back in a bit. I’ll let you know what I think when I’m back since you’re all desperate to know

I know about Tiffany’s from the Prefab Sprout tune but I am much too young to have ever been. At this point, are me and Tom the youngest on here at the ripe age of our mid 30s?

Almost certainly a mackem burner account which makes it even worse. You can tell by the nostalgic yearning for the 70s where you could be openly racist and nobody was transgender and Britain was Britain

I see they’re doing alright atm. If we win on Saturday and they lose, let’s see how the mood is on RTG

Hard thread to read for someone called Jordan tbh

Aye, same here. Alex missing a trick by not being an Amazon affiliate

Think it’s alright if you don’t go down the Italian route of pairing it with 40 tabs a day

Aye, you just follow the same order as the first 11. Wasn’t there that Sunderland/Man Utd cup game that went to 21-21 or something mental where everyone took one twice? Actually, it was the opposite and nearly everyone who took one missed Fuck knows what I’m thinking of

Couldn’t be any worse than the family of thick mackem cunts I was sat near on this transfer to the hotel who, as we passed through a police checkpoint, started shouting “El Police-o!” at the top of his voice and laughing out loud. Wouldn’t have grated too much but how fucking thick do you have to be to not know it’s “Policia”? Then it dawned on me that he almost certainly didn’t know they speak Spanish over in Mexico

TBH, Mitchell can take his High Performance management bullshit speak and shelf it for good as far as I’m concerned. Any time you see people in his position, or above, as with Eales, open their mouths for interviews to “explain” anything, it invariably ends badly. The press, especially, absolutely love it. Especially a press who are desperate to see us fail and think Howe going to England will precipitate that. Everybody shut the fuck up from now on and get on with course correcting the summers shitty window in January.
