Had a quick read over that thread on RTG....... just realised, he wasn't put on this earth to be a good football manager.... no, he was put here to unite fans across the Tyne/Wear divide.

This. Might be complete stupidity on my part but do all managers have each other's number in their Contacts? or is it like Pep's "people" got in touch with bruce's "agent aka local kebab house"? Like others have suggested I think it's more them wanting him back cos it's 6 points guaranteed each season. Or they're just being polite. I seem to recall, around the time of his sacking, other managers getting asked about the 'terrible treatment' those clueless geordies are dishing out to a proper legend etc. and them saying a few words. I'm sure if they were being completely honest they'd be more like "really? what took them so fucking long? He's shite!".

Was in a good mood, looking forward to heading down for the game tonight, and went and read that.

No big Joe on Friday? FFS! that's it, I want a refund!

Apparently, according to the commentary, we travel to Italy next to play Atalanta next. Might need to rethink my travel plans for Friday.

Idiot I am. Watching it with just my left earphone in. Commentary coming in the right.

only been watching not long before their goal and just noticed that there's no commentary. Prefer it. Football commentators add fuck all these days.

Tripps player of the season. Heard it here first.

whatever..... never win anything with 11 Kraft's in your team.

just read the article.... great piece. Bit that gets me the most tingly feeling down below is this paragraph:

Will always be thankful of the goals he scored to get us promoted. Was a top level championship striker. Honestly thought he was gone after his loan spell with West Brom. Though didn't follow his games there that closely but looked like he more than proved he had something still there. Thought champ clubs would then be fighting to get him and he'd be fighting to get a move. Maybe he was too comfortable in his life at that point to try forcing anything... I dunno. Just think he's been too long on the sidelines and will have lost a certain something. Hope he proves me wrong and rolls back the years. Good luck to him! Ps. loved his going down/staying up goal celebration. Hopefully he'll fill his boots when he plays that lot.

That's brilliant!!! Can I just say though what a bunch of miserable kunts those players are!! It's what ma lad used to look like first day back at school after the summer hols.

And they say sportswashing wouldn't work.

Me too!!

A book with like proper words and shit?

Did he not score a couple of long range wonder goals or am I making that up?

Can someone explain who 'teeth girl' is/was? I've seen her mention a few times on the forum with hallowed reverence.

Dan Dann the gardening man.

Feckin' get in!!! Playing "my" Italian team!

100% this. I don't get how folk that trot out the "£90 million in January" don't want to or can't see this.

I'd love it if the scouse mackems get flushed but it's a long shot. They're still safe no? Disclaimer - I've not looked at the bottom of the table for quite awhile now.

Just got this image in my head of 50k rangers fans waking up tomorrow and wondering how they're getting home.

My bones are telling me rangers will do this.

That's a few rangers players had cramp.... can see that affecting their penalty taking if they're picked.

was halfway through typing that I thought Frankfurt weren't going to score tonight.... deserved the equaliser.
