Love fables, me.

Like I said a year ago, come back when these superstar young uns are actually playing in the Premier League. I said it then and I'll say it again, I'll be waiting a while.

I've had this conversation with Teddy for quite a while. A year ago he said something along the lines of about half a dozen of their young uns would be playing or be comfortable playing in the Premier League. We are now down to Jack Clarke "possibly" going to Burnley.

They are brilliant.

Are Chelsea using the bespoke tool called Horizon?

100% a foul and a possible red. No idea what McCoist was blathering about.

That could well be the single game he referrs to.

Is the correct answer.

Good honest reply. A mackem acquaintance of mine (cough) told me pre game that Jack Clark was going to torture our defence. What do you think happened there then?

In your opinion who was a) your man of the match b) our man of the match

Great insight. A couple of things. Eddie likes to use the phrase "different gravy" which implies well done and I take it "wee man" he referred to was Ryan Fraser.

I must add the aforementioned Rothmans book also said "sometimes known as rokerites". So you are correct.

Great Post.

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.
