The mackems reckon it was a fix and have taken the opportunity to bring up

Jimmy Hill :D 

Of course they do. They also believe the EU were going to get a federal army and invade Britain and that there's a cabal of mysterious Tyneside businessmen* who have actively been stymieing Wearside for years instead of conservative governments who quite a few them now admire. 

 

 

 

 

 

*One of the mysterious Tyneside businessmen owned a restaurant chain and was called into it around one in the morning in the mid seventies to see a weeping Jimmy Hill who had been caught absconding without paying and with a battered waitress who tried to stop him. It was hushed up but the favour was called in the day Sunderland were beaten at Goodison and Jimmy was instructed to delay the Coventry and Bristol game and then play out a draw. The cabal never forgets and always gets it's way in the end.

One of the lads my son plays with was going to reserve game near the start of the season. The lad had his Wallsend Boys Club trackie top on. Anyway Elliot Anderson came up to them, started chatting and saying he used to play for Wallsend and got his photo taken with the lad etc. The dad was saying Anderson seems like a lovely lad. Obviously that’s just an anecdote that doesn’t prove a lot but it suggests he’s got a decent head on his shoulders. I know what he’s done at Bristol Rovers doesn’t mean he’s ready to walk into the first team but, like others have said, it’s great to hear about a loanee doing well at another club for once. It would be brilliant to see a local lad make the grade here though. It’s been far too long since that’s happened

Would be a nice reward for his efforts. The great thing is that we now have a coach that you can trust to make the right decision and do it right. 

Surely not that fella who got Bournemouth relegated?

The very same! The fucking Baconator would have ruined the kid this season by recalling him at the first sight that he was any good and pitching him in against PL sides to try and save his own skin.
