NEEJ

Watched Pelé on Netflix the other day. Thought it was class. The footage of Mexico 70 is just sublime. I'd also watch a documentary based around him and his old teammates sat eating picanha around the pool.

I still can't believe he didn't shoot when he was through yesterday, like. It was absolutely perfect for him. He had the ball under control at full stride and it was on his stronger foot. He seems to take all of his shots with his weaker 'Cheesestrings' left, which also baffles me.

Aye, did they push it at all? I can't remember seeing it advertised anywhere even though I'm following both Caulkin and Waugh on Twitter and an Athletic subscriber.

A reported £3m windfall for Bruce if he gets the boot. I know it should surprise absolutely no one, but why do they continually enter into contracts that are quite clearly detrimental to the club?

It's going to be beyond grim from now until the Fulham match on the final day of the season.

Absolutely neeone marking him. Awful. Dubravka should be saving it as well.

He's going to be on the Italian I'm a Celeb? Jesus.

Are both commentator and co-commentator saying St-Maximum?

He really is thick as pig shit. It'll be a magnificent day when he's finally sent packing and we never have to watch him launch Hollywood balls at the opposition full-back again.

Hargreaves seems to talk a lot of sense with none of the over the top nonsense that seems to be part and parcel of the ex-pro punditry gig. Pretty much the way he played football in fairness.

Spineless from the baconmeister, as usual.

Fuuuuuucking hell.

Some of the replies, man. Good lord.

"The" only L O G I C A L outcome "is" that it MUST "be" C L O S E D Wait!!! Interesting how happy some people are when there is news that could negatively impact on our Takeover. Are you all from Sunderland? Nobody is happy about it. Other than Luke Edwards and Steve Bruce. You can't differentiate people wanting it to happen and not believing it will? Weird. Him and Whitley have had similar views about this in the past. Not being blindly optimistic = don't want it to happen/apparently mackem now as well. IMO, this thread would have been quite at home in the Twitter bullshit thread, it seems to be all it's about....... "Let's get ahead of ourselves over random twitter 'ITK's' and call it optimism". Honestly this board and the people within are not happy unless they are wallowing in shit and then complaining about it. The whole forum has become just one big misery wank fest. This thread was set up to try and counter attack the gloom and still the misery wankers come on. If I want misery I go on Twitter, this forum is no longer fun or entertaining and just like NUFC is now. Football is meant to be escapism, to support something and to be part of a collective. NUFC is now just a collective of misery and I wont let it drag me down. So last post in here......enjoy the misery that this forum oozes from every pore and post! And with that epic flounce he was gone, never to return again.

"... that is obviously going to take a bit of time". How much time would you like Steve?

fuming. Wasn't it him who elbowed Ayoze moments before their winner at SJP too? "We need the BAR. Right now."

That'll do for now.

Someone find it please. I could only find the picture Neesy posted. TK's further up the page is almost there, but it doesn't capture the hilarity of the actual miss.

He's still bitter about that open goal he missed at SJP.

At a normal football club... Ah, fuck it.

The commentator said he's always got a long-ranger in his locker. Why wouldn't you play him? It's not his fault he's lost the bastard key.

He's got his excuse for the night. Wuh wor in it until the pen.

That penalty, man. Why isn't VAR coming in at that point to say, "hang on, we should probably check this one"?
