So after my venture into high brow Latin mysticism I have returned to more familiar ground; the ex footballer’s autobiography… so I’ll open it to the floor…. how much “literary time” does the author give to his two seasons playing for a certain football club in the North East of England?

I met mccoist in the departure lounge at basel airport the day after our 2nd leg semi final defeat in marseille and had a couple of beers with him. could well have been that he'd been to the match himself as part of the commentary team, I can't remember now.

anyway..... I was still bitterly disappointed at our exit and was in full whinge mode about it perhaps being time for robson to move to a job upstairs and let a younger nan take the reins and I think my good mate ally thought I was talking shite.

just wondering, did he dedicate a chapter to this chance encounter? 

seem to recall him saying at the time it was one of the most scintillating football conversations he'd ever had.

Aye, but only the 11 pages so it's not like a big deal or anything.

11? That’s nowt compared to the chapters and chapters we posted on here when  Beyonce Getoncefree wiggled her butt at the SoS back in …whenever?

Good result for them away to Millwall I've just seen. I'm assuming they'll have windmilled all the Millwall fans today or the Millwall fans have had a pint with them, told them of their great respect for Sunderland and how they both hate the Mags anaarl.

[Howmanheyman 37138]

It was a late KO and Millwall have a 93rd minute equaliser. Oh well.

[Renton 24199]

Extra time equaliser for Millwall. Oh dear, still not a bad result, all things considered. Still time for their weekend to be ruined - on Monday.

Both of them are comedic geniuses compared to the Ramsey’s who were both on as “celebrity” guests. They also ruined a Scottish woman’s (who I believe was terminally ill) evening twice because they are both thick as whale spunk.

 

The Jock wife absolutely idolised them too and strummed herself to their podcast. I reckon them days are done now

The unfunny one from the Hebburn series years ago and his even less funny missus.

 

Comedy for housewives, so in 2024 it’s comedy for no one.

Living vicariously through another former player.

 

I am trying to work out who the other player was that doubled up on him. Trippier (who was in utterly woeful form at the time) had no need for help iirc.
