Christ! I thought about this for a split second. I remembered "Glasgow'smilesbetter" and tried to adapr upon it. We need a word beginning with 's' that indicates happiness, or enjoyment. Fuck the English language.

Decent article without a single reference to the nationality of our owners

This season we've just been wheel-spinning. Next season is when we really find traction.
-
The only momentum needed is the removal of the obstacle that holds us back. Mind you, it's some impact when you hit the Kenny Dalglish wall.

Using the flag to demonstrate how much the ball curved on that "chance" that he fluffed.

Do you think you'll brick it in the play-offs? Obviously there is always the danger and automatic promotion is preferred, but from what you've said about Barton, and what I know of him, I'd say he's unlikely to brick it. And Billy doesn't sound like the type to shrink on the big stage. -
Doesn't TV do that though? Just wondering why. One idea may be that it maintains the idea that the fans in your own country are better than the fans elsewhere.

Looking at our results page is very pleasurable. Next two games shouldn't spoil that, then we have the Scousers. Not worried.

No disrespect to Steve Bruce but fuck me what was he doing?

Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace, Wednesday 20/4/2022 @ 19:45 (No UK TV)

Gotta score more than two goals to win by more than two. We've scored 3 twice [once if you discount the Brentford game] We're in form but not that kind of form. -
Yeah. I remember when we beat Burnley and they did a lap of honour, some people were cringing. But fuck it. That's what this city is best at, celebrating. We've just had naff all to celebrate for the longest of times.

Not surprised with him after seeing his progressive pass stats. I had him on the bench in my FF team last season and he constantly amazed me. He never got many assists though, just kept wracking up points. It all makes perfect sense now.

Disgusted by the booing, instigated by a media hell bent on preserving the right to be an abhorrent cunt a free press. I remember when Willock's parents came to St. James' first time after he signed permanently, they were loving it, then the knee prompted the boos, which I can't help feeling dampened their experience. And I like to believe that without that moment, they would have not experienced anything as uncomfortable. I think it should be a choice of the players, but their choice will always be defined by the racist element, and that undermines the cause.

Are they mental? No team without a victory after 11 games has ever never ever been relegated.

Are you saying independent thought is impossible? I hope you don't truly believe that.

His cross was perfect, Bruno said so. -
He is athletic as fuck. I mean like a pro athlete. I said it in the match thread, there was a time on about 80 mins, I think, that he was taking deep breaths but his run at the end shows that he was nowhere near fatigued. I was remembering why 100m sprinters don't breath during their race, it's all about getting the maximum energy from the entire body, which in the case of a 100m sprinter is tuned to that pursuit. But a marathon runner's body is tuned differently. My biggest athletic endeavour these days is doing the shopping but it applies even to that. I'll be walking home with a bag in each hand when my legs begin to tire, do I stop to rest? No, I start curling the shopping bags, just gently, just enough to release the energy stored in those muscles. It seems to work a treat although I have no scientific papers to support my beliefs.

I don't know. He's been relatively anonymous with Bruno in the team, the last two games. Still pops up from time to time with an important contribution, but I think he might be expendable. -
Massive respect for Kaepernick's actions against systemic racism. Was a perfect protest in the context of American Football. The adoption by ruling bodies around the world as a mere gesture is [I don't know, worrying?]. Especially when none of them are asked to partake. Did FIFA officials all take a knee before the World Cup draw? I doubt it [apologies if they did], so they're sending the players out to do their work in the community for them.

My mate when I was a kid, used to sell the Pink and always had to leave 5 mins before the end. -
Yeah, he definitely benefits from having somebody running alongside. He's just so fast that if that player isn't already there then they're not getting there. Get this season over, then give Howe the Summer to work with him.

This Wednesday innit?

Not going to help the lad. That much is obvious.

Hope it's not a portrait, for your lass's sake.
