Years ago I asked a die hard mackem what their nickname was. I was holding the Rothmans book at the time (remember those books?) He said black cats and I smugly told him "no, it's The Wearsiders". They haven't a clue about their own history.

Our fans sounded fine on my "telly box". Yes, I'm using that from now on.

I said the same to the wife yesterday. "Why do fans have their phones out"?

O9 tried for the whole game to maime someone. His only real success was a thumping tackle on the bairn Miley. Other than that he was normally on his arse.

That's what I thought, telly box?

Same here. I actually predicted at least a 3 goal win. Can't be bothered to trawl through the messages.

I'm drinking prosecco at the moment but we have the Sauvignon Blanc chilling for later.

Unlike Almiron who had the whole goal and twatted the ball off Onien's heed.

The commentator today was getting right on my tits. Umpteen times he said "Newcastle haven't beaten sunderland in 11 years". With no explanation whatsoever.

Can't get my head around it. Betting on a sunderland win? I'll not even wear red socks!

And so did I (smug face).

Yes it was a ridiculous statement by Matt1892.

My honest thoughts are that we will hump these by at least three goals.

Couldn't agree more. Then there are the supposedly Toon fans that brag about placing bets on sunderland to win. It leaves me completely gob smacked.

Exactly.

He did the slowest "slow motion" I've ever seen and I still haven't seen this massive contact he's talking about.

I read somewhere that Tottenham Hotspur were struggling lately due to TWO important players being missing. This puts our predicament into perspective.

No, we were the better team that day. The scoreline flattered Liverpool, they were rutheess with their chances though. Yes I'm being sarcastic.

Do you think Newcastle would perform better with a Defensive Midfielder?

OK, sorry. I wasn't being flippant.

That Viilla game we won 5-1? Yeah it was shocking from us.

What decision?

Not happening. We are up for this.

You're ok mate. Have a good year.

Rasp, had a great Christmas thanks. Pack it in man. They gossip on here.
