Mrs wanted to pop into the shop before the match. Was absolutely rammed but, dear me, the stuff is pricey like. Nearly bought a captains armband for my Tuesday night 5 a side 😂 Ps was surprisingly busy all around the ground for 10.15am, we thought.

Both us Groundhogs said, before KO, that a draw would be better for us. Then both, when they scored the 1st, agreed "this could get hilarious" And it did.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

"legacy fans" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

There's at least 30k people in there, every week, sat on their hands. Week in week out. Season ticket holders. Locals. "True fans" It's not "tourists" causing the silence and we're not "the best fans in the world" That's bullshit. We are very very good when we're on it. Probably the best. But far too often we need the team, or the ref, to give it a boost. Probably the main factor in the demise of ground atmosphere, across the board, is all seating stadia. Added to that is seats, permanently, occupied by season ticket holders who've sat there for decades. Added to that are, aforementioned, season ticket holders who've sat there throughout the Ashley years when the life and soul of "the crowd" was crushed. The camera malarkey is just the way it is now. I couldn't be arsed but I'm 60. Each to their own tho. Ps PSG game was, and will probably remain, unrivalled in how fantastic you lot were. On that night, at least, you were the best in the world. Still full of "tourists", as well 😉

He's just come on for the 2nd half, mate

I know exactly what you mean AyeDubbleYoo

Nice hair tho. Rico Lewis style. In fact there was a ball boy, yesterday, at wor game had the same. Milburn paddock side

Pine for Sunderland

An argument one could easily make in defence of Longstaff, Murphy, Miggy etc etc * (*) obvs not the "Brazil" bit

Dwight Gayle coming on for Hibs 😎😁

Sure Amanda said, once, they're pals with Mad Todd

Got back from the match Took the hound out Watched the Makems get beat Decent, bordering on great, from us today. Some very good performances. Gordon, Joelinton (cunt was everywhere, rattling everyone), Murphy (barring his final delivery), Burn, Hall, Tripps Most notable, for me, was coming from behind against these. They might not be firing on all cylinders yet but they've got some spirit Bonus, our hosts let us bring home the NUFC cheese wheel

Just got a nice little tickle. The Groundhogs are in a box tommoz. Looking forward to The Daily Mail expose. Jobless Former Firefighter takes Bribe

Mine wouldn't download either. Same error. Using my android phone btw Just retried later after restarting the phone and coming off wifi Worked

Got 2 for the East Stand.

Email just dropped 😂 2 from 5 now

You, basically, rock up. Give the Matre D £30 then spend the next 120 minutes stuffing your face.

Minteh play right back as well, like? 😉

Akenside does a canny one. Tbf I'm surprised it's an actual thing in the Toon, given how much we love our drink and scran. I could easily do it justice. What, in 2 hours? Easy 😜 Be a barra job but hey-ho, hic

Need more of this, apparently 😂

"I'm autistic, you kna"

Sure Scott Sloan joined the Fire Service. In Sweden iirc or Northumberland 😂😂

Retired Yep, unfortunately, you are correct. Higher incidence of cancers etc due to inhalation of carcinogenics. Obviously, back in the day, you had "Fireman" tucking their beards in and storming off into billowing smoke and flames whereas now they've got top of the range BA sets. Lots of plastics about now and vehicle fires are giving off pure death ☠️😳 Even with best practice, tho, there's always going to be exposure. Before I retired we were being told to wash our fire kit more often, for eg, after every job even. It's not just cancers tho. There's a high tenancy to have heart conditions too. I couldn't do them justice in one post but there's numerous studies about how fit a FF should be and how the stresses and strain on the heart can lead to illness. Basically, the energy/stresses demanded within the short time frame of receiving an alarm, travelling to then dealing with the initial incident are similar to a top athlete. Training for that, consistently, over 30/40 years is impossible.
