The Fish

I dunno, I mean they get to miss out on *gestures at everything going on*

Sure, but I guess my point is that if the narrative shifted it's less confrontational and is more collaborative?

Surely the point is that Robinson has learned from his childish mistake? Isn't that what we're going for?

Course it is. A rational, reasonable world would not be interested in dredging it up. Or if it was dredged up, that rational reasonable world would see that it's a stupid offensive thing from a kid and dismiss it. But we live in a shitshow.

Rattled.

Maybe, I dunno. When I pick a team on FM it depends on the challenge I want in the game at the time. I don't think Griezmann's choice is an indication of how far we've fallen in real life or anything. He could as well have picked Brescia, Rangers or Man City and Mbappe would have said something equally banal about them. As Diego says, Griezmann plays the game a lot with teams that vary based, surely, on a whim. If you're getting insulted by any of that, I think you need to step away from things for a while

I just don't think it's insulting or anything really. Griezmann choosing to manager a midtable Premier League club in (I assume) the latest version of the game means nowt. I wouldn't take it as an insult at all.

Had the second jab Saturday morning. Now, I'm no feeb so I'm putting down my fever, vomiting and exhaustion down to either a) spending all day in the sun like a bloody LAD, b) eating chicken with a suspect 'before date' or c) having a plague bearer as a son. Much better now, but the drinks I was supposed to enjoy on Saturday night were curtailed after the first pint, and Sunday was a total write off.

Dunno if it's a joke at our expense. More likely Griezmann picked a team and was showing off his 'achievements', which is pretty nerdy.

forget convincing Mbappe that it's balmy in Byker, lets just get Griezmann instead.

it's one on one It's one on one you can't be wrong.

No, but seriously. It's plain as day that you support Sunderland, so why try to maintain the charade? People would likely have less of an issue if you were to drop it.

You're a mackem, we know you're a mackem, we've known for fucking ages. Why are you still pretending?

Indiana Jones and the Werther's Originals.

New Indiana Jones movie starts filming in Bamburgh soon.

What's wrong with the Lit and Phil?

I'm ready when you are.

Too far Too soon

So nice they named it twice, and all that fucking bollocks. I dunno, get off my back ya massive bellend.

genuinely got them mixed up and had meant Balamory.

When we went down to the Championship it was fair to say that we faced teams where a trip to 90% full St James' Park legitimately had a Cup Final feel for some players. Burton, Rotherham, e.g. Stadium and crowd size aside, the opposition were coming up against Argentinian internationals, recent England internationals etc. Hughton's team was basically a midtable Premier League team and Benitez' was only a little worse than that. Add to that the face that both of those seasons we were in the title race for the entire season, so the opposition were also dealing with one of the best teams in the division. Big ground, big crowd, big players, big stakes. Mackems have a half empty flatpack stadium, with bang average League 1 players, and have not been leading the charge for the title in any of their 3 seasons. Shit ground, no fans, no marks, no stakes. Cup Final my fucking arse

It's on the list of Scottish place names I know without having to think that hard. Along with Edinburgh, Glasgow, Loch Ness and Tobamory.

Allright, fucking Bellingham then!

Me either. 04:00 wake up this morning. I'm not sure about anything.

Can't find a decent Lorne sausage anywhere south of BANNOCKBURN
