On the plus side, you saved yourself a fortune.

Needed PSG to score twice against Auxerre to win my accy. Someone ought to be embarrassed at the state of that team relative to the money they've got. They absolutely stink the place out every time I watch them.

Love a blatant misprice.

Villa 1 attempt, 0 on target.

Remember when Mako said he'd rather be in Newcastle's position than Arsenal's?

Wolfsburg bloody good odds (13/5) vs Dortmund in the German cup final.

Wow. Get in.

I've still got my loyalty points on my account and I cancelled my ST a few months ago. Just shows as 'General sale, 24 loyalty points' rather than '15/16 ST holder, 24 loyalty points'. Mine was like that for a few months but got wiped back to 0 after a while.

From .com's report: Blimey.

Isn't that a bit like blaming the doctor for you keep getting ill?

Forgotten he still existed.

It's all linked in with the whole attitude of English football culture towards the Premier League and it drives me demented. In the same way that a Champions League place slowly usurped winning anything throughout the early 2000s to the point where it just became accepted as the form, we're creeping ever closer to the point where just being in the Premier League also trumps having anything in the cabinet, where keeping a team who were already in it in the top 85% of the division gets you automatically spoken of as a possible manager of the year. How many times do you read that Lower League Club X "would give anything to be in Newcastle's position"? It's difficult to fully understand the reality of NUFC if you don't experience it as part of your daily life, if you didn't have Alan Pardew sucking the life force out of you for four years to the point where you wanted to do absolutely anything than go to the match. A sporting institution desperately trying not to compete in their sport isn't something you can wrap your head round if you haven't lived it. I'd swap situations with the vast majority of clubs in the Football League in a heartbeat if it meant I could have a bit of pride in being a Newcastle fan again, and have everyone at the club pulling in the same direction. I've got tons of Boro fans on my Facebook and it made me genuinely sad seeing how proud and excited they were to be in the play-off final. Their disappointment at not winning it doesn't come close to what I experience on a daily basis, a genuine loathing for almost everybody at what used to be my football club.

It's obvious he knows nowt about football and resorts to pathetic cliches. He's a journalist specialising in football finances. Quite a depressing state of affairs that such a thing even exists tbh.

This bloke is backing him, a genuine mental: https://twitter.com/robbie_philpott/with_replies

Really tempted by that Sports Reporter's Progress Mug.

I believed it first time round, am I fuck going to fall for it again.

The idea of anybody giving him the "benefit of the doubt" is laughable. What doubt? The bloke has taken the piss out of us for eight years ffs, he gives one interview and people are falling at his feet. Reminds me of when Graeme Souness did an hour Q&A on BBC Newcastle during the summer after a pathetic season and people (not me, that's for sure) were absolutely swooning over the bloke for weeks and months afterwards, up until they saw his fucking shit team again.

Think they always have but because it didn't seem fair, the FL now also give out trophies for automatic promotion iirc.

The evidence of the Premier League table is that if you have any interest in being vaguely successful, do not get yourself an English manager.

FUCK Forgot all about it, too busy watching the cricket.

Aye, just arrived.
