Modify. Much like the Black Cat Bar at Stadium of Light.

No, but I suspect the plan is to hopefully give one to everyone that’s applied. But until they have those numbers they don’t know.

Ian Wong is the Mr Big. The Albanians* were just the foot soldiers. Probably on a tenner for every scarf they could source back to Wong and his OCG pals. *obviously I’ve no idea if the bloke was actually Albanian. He had that sort of Balkan Albanian/Romanian/Bulgarian look about him. So I went with Albanian on alphabetical order.

When we were heading back down Wembley Way after the match, some Albanian-looking fella came up to my mate and offered him a fiver for his scarf, which he obviously refused. I see what the plan was now!

He’s out of contract.

There was however no issue with Sunderland ST holder Jeff Brown being one of the main presenters for years.

If there’s anyone is a parade, then no.

You can probably blame it on questionable communication from the club (again), but it seems astonishing how many people don’t actually know, or understand, what is planned.

Apparently he’s already turned down MotD because he wanted to keep doing our games (may have had other personal reasons too like).

Midnight tonight

Been said plenty of times before, but he really is an elite commentator. The footage of him calling the final whistle is tremendous. Looks as emotional as the rest of us, but still manages to stay composed and deliver his words.

Do you genuinely think that was ‘priority’ in any meaningful way?

He ran about for a couple of mins (albeit it gingerly) after it happened like, so he can’t possibly have a broken hip.

What priority?

There probably is a bus parade, just not confirmed yet.

I’ve gone for the black and white version.

Recorded the entire match then fucked it off just before they scored 😂😂

I’d think that’s the very upper limit with one year left, but we’ll see if Mitchell can work his magic.

Bear in mind, Longstaff will have one year left on his contract come the summer. We’ll be doing very well to get much more than £10m IMO.

Maybe, but he only has two years left on his contract (I think?), so the summer is the last chance to full value regardless of what league they’re in.

Contender for understatement of the year…

The classic. Applied to Champions League semi-finalists PSG last season, and now to Premier League winning Liverpool this season. They’d be better off concentrating on giving Coventry and Hull a game.

* See you in Champions League

Thinking back to that shoot out at Forest. Joelinton had missed, Forest scored to make it 1-3, Bruno then scores his and gives a massive gee-up to what had become a slightly despondent away end. The Forest fans laughed and scoffed at this obviously, but it definitely changed the mood a bit, then they immediately hit the bar with their next one, and look where we are…. And that basically shows how his personality elevates him from a very, very good player based on his actual ability, to an elite player, when you consider how much he actually gives the team.
