How is the parking situation in London these days?

 

Asking for a mackem friend…

If you park next to the Greggs in Harlesden, this lad lives in the doorway there. 

 

He’ll watch your car for 10 tabs and 8 Ace.

Fucking hell, that's inflation.

Eddie Howe saying Bruno and Schar are suspended for presumably the first leg of the semi final…

 

Disappointed with the bookings and to lose two key players in Bruno and Schar [for the semi-final] but it goes with the territory. We are competitive and encourage the intensity so you can't have everything."

The Dolphin is bouncing. Proper Christmas party atmosphere. We can all thank @Howmanheymanfor this. May his job be long and prosperous 

 

I'm now finally in a position where I can go PT if there's enough funds into the patron? I'll do twenty hours, minimum wage will do. Happy to kick my heels midweek evenings when the games are on. PM me, Huns.

I was right and then wrong, turns out although cards are wiped after the QF, if you get a second yellow IN the QF you miss next game (1st leg)

Lovely game and what a Rolls Royce of a player Tonali is.

 

Such a pisser that we are so inconsistent as this would have been a magnificent season otherwise.

[Optimistic Nut 181]

Just give us the away leg first, not really bothered how it's against. 

[Gemmill 45872]

I want the winner from tonight's game next. It's our best chance of making the final, and whoever gets through out of Arsenal or Liverpool will hopefully be fucked, still in Europe, and still focused on the title.

Spurs/Man U away first, keep within a goal, blow them away up here. 

[wykikitoon 20630]

Last two games we've been pretty solid. I know someone will say both teams were shite but you can only play with what's in front of you. 

 

It will build confidence and consistency.

 

Sandro 🤌🏻

Have we not got a chant to the tune of Mambo Italiano about Sandro Italiano? If not, I'd like to commission CT to write two verses and a chorus. 

[Ayatollah Hermione 14010]

Last night showed that, once more, to beat Liverpool, you have to also beat the ref so I’d rather not have that to contend with at Wembley as well. The deck doesn’t need stacked higher

it's been quite some time since @Christmas Tree penned one of his famous songs.

I miss them.

[Gemmill 45872]

ChatGPT has had a go. I was very specific that it should follow the framework of Dean Martin's Mambo Italiano but I don't think ChatGPT knows that one. 

 

**Sandro Italiano** *(To the tune of "Mambo Italiano")*  

**[Intro]**  
(A boy from Milan, hey!)  
(Sandro Italiano, whoa-oh-oh!)  

**[Verse 1]**  
Hey, Newcastle, you should see this fella!  
(Sandro, Sandro Italiano!)  
Moves so smooth, he’s a midfield bella!  
(Sandro, Sandro Italiano!)  
He’s black and white, controlling every play,  
He makes the Geordies sing all day,  
We love you, Sandro Italiano!  

 

**[Bridge]**  
He’s got the skills, the flair, the style-o,  
(Oh, Sandro Italiano!)  
He’s running the Toon, mile by mile-o,  
(Oh, Sandro Italiano!)  
Passin’ and tacklin’, he’s the main attraction,  
In the middle of the action, Sandro Italiano!  

 

**[Chorus]**  
Whoa-oh-oh, Sandro Italiano!  
Our Magpie maestro, watch him steal the show-o!  
Geordie hearts are singing loud wherever he goes,  
Whoa-oh-oh, Sandro Italiano!  

 

**[Verse 2]**  
Hey, St. James’, watch him light the Tyne-o,  
(Sandro, Sandro Italiano!)  
He’s got the touch, and his play’s divine-o,  
(Sandro, Sandro Italiano!)  
From Milan to the Toon, he’s made for this team,  
He’s living every Geordie dream,  
We love you, Sandro Italiano!  

 

**[Chorus]**  
Whoa-oh-oh, Sandro Italiano!  
Our Magpie maestro, watch him steal the show-o!  
Geordie hearts are singing loud wherever he goes,  
Whoa-oh-oh, Sandro Italiano!  

 

**[Outro]**  
(A boy from Milan, hey!)  
(Sandro Italiano, whoa-oh-oh!)

"Sandro Ole Ole Ole" was about all I could make out last night from where I was.

 

Second half it was hard to hear anything over the sound of a no neck gammon picking a fight with a black lad who was "talking shite all match" behind him. Definitely had nothing to do with race though, certainly not. Also not a hint of self awareness that the very thing he was accusing them of was the very thing he was doing.

 

He said he would be waiting for the lad, his friend ("and bring ya fucking da an'aal") outside but he was nowhere to be seen when I left - obviously had plans with a wheelie bin, some matches and a metro inn.

 

Other than that it was a mint game, Tonali clear man of the match - even without the goals he was everywhere and involved in everything we did.

The effort from Microsoft Copilot has flourishes of a North Korean song about Kim Jong Un 

 

[Gemmill 45872]

We're serving the chorus up on a plate to these AI wankers, and they steadfastly refuse to go for the obvious hook. 

[Gemmill 45872]

I notice ChatGPT was not above just sticking an "o" on the end of every word to "make it sound Italian", the Brexit wanker.

It is sod's law like that if there's VAR last night, Arsenal go to pens with an offside goal and a decent chance Southampton get that pen. 

[Gemmill 45872]

Aye I do enjoy getting that feeling back of quickly checking the ref isn't doing anything mental once the ball's in the net, and knowing that that is a fucking goal and nothing is gonna change the fact. But it also does bring back the mistakes and the bias. 

 

Mind, saying that, that Liverpool one would likely have been bottled as a "referee's call" anyway.

New Santa Tonali avatar just dropped. 

 

@Christmas Tree new mug concept idea. Call me. 

[Gemmill 45872]

He's got the touch and his play is divine-o, 

Just like your mother's, such a shame she's a wine-o. 

 

That one goes out to you all.
