Never seen a defender spend as much time just throwing himself at the ball as Phil Jones. "Stay on your feet" we were told in primary school.

Surely a red there.... Phil Jones is seriously fuckin awful like.

Touchline is visible here man It's the top of the advertising hoardings man. Are you watching this game? I am and although the shadow has moved, the cut stripes on the pitch haven't - the touchline is right on the edge of a darker stripe.

Now I'm certainly not going to defend Madley, but the throw in was taken from the correct place, the line you see on that clip is the top of the advertising boards. You can tell by counting the darker stripes on the pitch from just outside the goalpost going out to the touchline.

Aye, Crooksy is a makem fan, known him since school. Of more concern is the midget getting in the car behind them. She looks like the dwarf on ‘don’t look now’. Ha ha! Wonder if that's Mick's lass? It's not Fat Alan's...

I recognise that chap on the left. Thats "Odd Bodd junior" out of carry on screaming. Haha....one for the teenagers. Great spot. It fuckin is an all!

Adult sized replica shirts were very rare in those days, small, medium and large were the only sizes available. It was unusual to see kids in them as well, I was the only lad in my school with the full kit, got it for Christmas 1973.

Crisp packet wrists Hart strikes again. My we didn't half dodge a bullet there..

The last line says it all...

Yes and also, marradoxically, "taking all our jobs" I see what you did there - and heartily approve

Stifler, gan to bed son.

Even I got that one and I'm older than your dad. Didn't think it worthy of comment.

Assist was a weak header that was probably going wide, deflected off someone's back who knew nowt about it. His goal was decent, though and he's been lively throughout.

That is fuckin gold, never seen that before. And they have the cheek to knock us because of Wraith and co's nonsense. Notice the thick bastards think that "Leeds" needs an apostrophe before the s.

Nah, I think she's just found a photo to use as a thumbnail. It's still grim as fuck. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a fuckin tattoo

Well I've got a bit of time, being on holiday and that, but I could search the forum and I'm pretty sure I'll not find a better post than this. Absolutely nail on the head.

So howcum they're in the Championship? Didn't work last season, did it?

Complete with the ‘Sniff all your gear’. Can't be, much too classy for that. And copying songs off the mags marra?

I’ll do my bit for your cause: I know it's over And it never really began But in my heart it was so real And then Stokoe spoke to me, and said : "If you're such a big club Then why’s the stadium empty tonight ? And if you're so well supported Then why’s the stadium empty tonight ? If you're so very entertaining Then why’s the stadium empty tonight ? If you’ve so many football-friends Then why’s does nobody seem to give a shee-ite?” I know... 'Cause tonight is just like any other night Then why’s the stadium empty tonight With no triumphs and no charms While they toast you in the Newcastle Arms..." It's so easy to laugh It's so easy to hate It takes strength to be gentle and kind f*** that. It’s over, over, over, over... Here’s the tune, if needed. :clap:

How much truth is there in this? Appears to be quite a sore point.. the Keegan side. Comes up a lot. (Not from the North East. ) There's a bit of truth in it tbf. When I was at school in the 70s, my home Boldon was about 70-30 in favour of the makems. In the Keegan and terrible makem team era you didnt see or hear from a makem, everywhere you went there were black n white shirts. It's settled to about 60-40 in their favour now, but if their spectacular downfall continues and we keep Rafa and the takeover is a success, then they'll be history.

That's Nathan Harker, under 23s goalie. Nice kid, I've met him a couple of times as a mate of mine is friendly with his Dad. Makem supporter, mind.

Imagine being so thick that you can't remember that the last first team derby game was a draw, therefore the kids and lasses wins are irrelevant.
