Kid Dynamite 7650 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 1 hour ago, Howmanheyman said: Carragher was enjoying himself but there's a bit of a condescending tone underneath the surface, 'Yous like a Gregg's up here'. A pastie or a sausage roll.' 'do the dance, we'll do it with you.' Aye it's just a laugh but imagine a cockney ex-pro interviewing him, 'ere, Scouser, you lot laahve a bit of Beatles mania daahntcha? Go on my saan, sing me sergeant peppers lonely hearts claab, I'll join in, daahnt worry.' Or how about, 'Excellent game in midfield today, Roy. You single handedly won that midfield battle for Manchester United, but you love the old blarney don't you, eh? Eh? Why don't you give us all a little Irish jig, I'll join in. Gwaan, gwaan, gwaan. Lol.' My takeaway was how normal our players are though. That interview would never have happened with Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd players. You wouldn't see Sterling or Kane doing TikTok dances for a laugh. Whilst fans and managers of other clubs are full of fume against us, I think most pundits and journos think we are class 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good, they’ll be taking it down the throat in a few seasons. Might even start calling us “United” or “Newcastle United Football Club” as the two red clubs from the north west become less relevant 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 36798 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) My oldest laddie goes to this thing called Feet4Footvall which is all small- sided games and drills using a futsal ball. Anyway Sean and Matty Longstaff used to go and last night their Mam was there at the start of the session and gave a nice little chat about hard work and effort paying off. What a nice, down to earth lady she seems. I know, I know, good family. But it does seem like we have a great set of grounded lads who work hard for each other. I know we’ve got some too quality players we’ve brought in, if you look at Botman, Isak, Bruno, etc. But I love how we’ve got some local lads doing the business for us too who get what the city, club etc is about. I think that helps instil those values in the rest of the squad. Anyway, I’m rambling. But it’s fucking great having a side we’ve all got pride in who care, instead of a bunch of mercenaries Edited October 6, 2023 by Alex 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyVercetti 42 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 How long do you reckon before we win a trophy? I know it's not the most prestigious but I have a feeling we're going to finish 7th this season and end up absolutely walking the Conference League with our bairns next season.

(1.02) Also, if you ignore penalties, Liverpool drop to 5th for xG. Behind Everton. If games were played on the spreadsheet, we'd be 2nd, behind Man City 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if it's great. Some weird phrase choices like "Flekken in the Brentford goal is the football equivalent of a social hand grenade, liable to explode at any second." Why a social hand grenade? Why not just a hand grenade? A social hand grenade refers to someone who's likely to say something, do something that will immediately destroy any social situation. It doesn't need that extra layer. Also, he rightly criticises the mackems for saying the lad who got stabbed in Milan deserved it, then hopes for someone with a chainsaw to go after the bloke behind No Saudi Toon. He's got a broad vocabulary and sometimes he uses it well, but that piece was rambling and had an underlying tone of anger and bitterness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
