For me, I'll readily admit that after SD, Wonga, Fun88, some absolutely cheap and diabolical Puma tat (remember the 14/15 home shirt and the stickered crest), I want premium sponsors like adidas to erase the memory of that era.

Got a late equaliser in the return game, mind. Load of bollocks in any case.

07/08 - the Allardici effect.

Fuck off to the Championship, you tramps.

Indeed, see this: https://www.islingtongazette.co.uk/news/crime/21237755.police-snatch-everton-fans-wanted-kings-cross-violence/ Bunch of thugs - it was barely reported at the time; their behaviour over the years has been treated with kid gloves by journos because of that whole People's Club bullshit.

Re Leazes Terrace:

Absolute fewmmmmm 10 miles down the road.

MK Dons are a better fit for them - sure they have to start at a lower level but they have done that before and it gives them time imprint the Red Bull philosophy with less pressure than doing it in the top 2 tiers. Plus they can do whatever to the branding, and no one would give a fuck.

Whatever success we end up having, please never let us turn into this:

If this is true, then I am really happy. I'm more interested in the backroom boost and how they are trying to fill key positions and grow our club, and hopefully this results in a lot of Ashley bashing as well. Would love a wee history lesson for some as well, in that we were the 5th highest earning club in the world in 1999, and had the 5th highest commercial revenues in the PL pre-Ashley to really highlight that potential.

Aye although Prem Passions from the 90s is even better than the Netflix one in terms of laughter because of Reid's aversion to spending, his colourful language during team talks and of course the inevitable tragedy at the end of the season. It's all on YouTube for those who are keen.

Telegraph Sport understands that a raft of new sponsorship deals are soon to be announced, possibly within weeks, which should dramatically boost spending power in the summer.' Bring it on.

Whichever of these two get through, I hope they get Union in the next round who proceed to humiliate them and their media friends in England or Catalonia.

A whole week in London eh? Londoners won't have seen anything like him.

Oh shame.

Without wanting to jinx it, the title race just got a wee bit spicier this weekend:

There is no safe standing in Uefa competitions.

Absolutely not - we are among the top teams for all sorts of different stats, while that was so obviously a fluke which this bloke alludes to: I mean from memory, how many games did we actually dominate that year? West Brom away, Stoke home? Some good results in there away at Stoke and at home to Man Utd and Liverpool, but come on, it's not like we had some long term progressive style of play.

Totally worth the £19 million.

I remember Ashley putting out a statement in the lead up to that game with something like, 'What price us reaching that elusive Top 6?' Aye you bastard, you employed JFK for precisely that goal.

Inshallah.

What did he have for brekkie? Mind you, if we get three points tomorrow, he'll be back to his old tune.

Man U players looking tired here; a similar game next week please and we'll be laughing.
