13-0 vs Newport County 1946. My dad was at that game.

He's found a few quid down the back of the settee.

My word, that was poorly defended.

You'd rather watch Watford v Newcastle than Jessica Alba? Each to their own.

That's a hell of a spot like Gyles Brandreth would be proud. Only bettered by the Virginia Bottomley one tbh Surely the David Ginola anagram is in there with a shout as well? Vagina Dildo... Colin Wanker says hello.

"The football HE'S played, the goals HE'S scored" ....oh there's the second goal...

This reminds me of the Oxford game when we went 2-0 up before half time. Bournemouth look about league one standard TBF.

I have said this numerous times but will repeat it again for clarity. If Bruce wins us the FA cup I will happily admit I was wrong and declare him to be a living legend Newcastle manager. Because that is in fact what he would effectively be. Is that fair enough? You can quote me on this so bookmark this page. I'm not trying to catch anyone out here I did not want Steve Bruce here, I was astonished we played Sheffield Wednesday to bring him here, albeit with a free player loan as a bargaining chip in terms of Jacob Murphy. But has he not pulled of the raggiest results of any manager in history, I only see today's opponents City as the biggest hurdle, the rest are beatable if we apply the right attitude and get the (luck) we/he keeps getting. Then I'm thinking surely that places Steve Bruce as our most successful manager? I did say daft question ?? It's not a daft question, if he wins the FA cup that will undoubtedly make him our most successful modern era manager, and I for one will happily bestow on him the title of club legend. We aren't winning the cup, man. Even if by some miracle we beat Man City, it'll be Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal or Leicester in the semi. Not happening.

Uncharacteristically class finish from Bamford.

I think we have been incredibly patient, can you see the Man U or Liverpool fans being as patient as us? Would be interesting to see what sort of support either of them would get if they went 50 years without a trophy.

♫ ♬ I feel it in my fingers... Fun fact (or not). The song that replaced that wet wet wet song after shitloads of weeks at number 1 was take that with back for good. The underlying chords are exactly the same. Not saying Barlow is a copying c*** but...... Whigfield's Saturday night replaced it in the charts, followed by "Sure" by Take That. Back for Good was a year later. So fun fact (or not) is actually "or not" Isn't Love Is All Around Me actually a song about Marti Pellow being on the skag. The first verse should say "brown" where it says "love", but the censors made them change it. It was the soundtrack to a million teenage fingerblast sessions during 1994, but it's a junkie anthem and parents were not happy when they found this out. Or not. You reckon the Troggs wrote a song about future Wet Wet Wet? They were psychic dudes The Troggs man.... Wild Things They Don't Tell Us - Reg Presley, lead singer of "The Troggs", here details the wild things that he believes the government secretly knows about, but will go to the most extraordinary lengths to stop the public from finding out. He presents his evidence of alien visitation, crop-circles and his scientific theory of why the Earth is gradually changing shape. My older sister saw The Troogs at The Majestic came back smitten with Reg Presley Just to come full musical circle before the takeover is complete. Though the Troggs wrote it, Wet Wet Wet released it as a cover for Four Weddings & a Funereal film but just prior to that R.E.M. made it popular again performing it on their first MTV Unplugged 3 years earlier so probably give them the idea. Definitely the best version of the three I've still got the R.E.M. VHS compilation that you recorded for me, with the Unplugged session on. Must be knocking on 30 years ago Haven't got a VHS machine anymore though

This game has been much worse in quality than our match earlier. Quite bizarre, given the standard of the players involved; I mean, how many of ours or Sheffield United's squads would get in either of these teams?

I'll hold my hands up with that one. Glad to be proved wrong.

Yup. How are this lot fifth? Edit, 7th, point still stands

Henderson hasn't covered himself in glory here. Poor effort on both goals IMHO.

Yep, fuckin crazy, just let him run through on goal, he'll miss.

Last season.

Almiron pulled to the ground by the shirt there, Hinchcliffe you blind twat

Even more laughable when you consider his official title is "Head Coach".

You just know we'll look flat, off the pace, totally under prepared and won't string any passes of note together. Same as the rest of the season, then

Yep, I reckon Sports Direct carrier bags, draped over the back of every seat. Cheap option for him.

You SERIOUSLY think Rose will play again this season? Have you seen the size of him?

Johnny Rep for Bastia in the '77 UEFA cup.

Every year there's always a group of people who think the absolutely shit 6/7 teams below us going into the last 10 or so games are going to become supercharged and go on these mad runs. It literally never happens. We need 2/3 points. These teams are worse than us, man. They're not picking up that many points. In normal circumstances I’d agree, but with the break there’s plenty of reason to believe that teams below us will have been able to readjust mindset, mentality, fitness and tactics to give it a good go. Of course mathematically the probability is that we'll stay up, but there's a slight possibility that we'll go down. And with this idiot still in charge the slight possibility becomes a distinct possibility, imho.
