Wolfcastle

Chris Holland based on his debut also.

Sunlun til some minor hardship and I'm fucking off early

If they win their next two games it'll all be forgotten until the next time they lose

They're absolutely nuclear reactionaries. Lavished praise on Coleman based on literally a couple games when he was on the phone-in one night. Di Canio goes from scum of the earth to a decent bloke really based on one result. Beale's about ready to be asked out for a fight already. Something wrong with them.

At some point clubs/fans will be waiting until the middle of summer for cases to be settled and punishments to be dealt out to see who is up who is down, who is in the CL, who isn't. Like VAR decisions on entire seasons.

Its obvious neither team, nor either set of fans wants to get promoted out of this rivveting league with its horrific football, boring matches and dead atmosphere's. I can see that its really the place to be.

Man City haven't deserved to lose a game for about 10years by that logic. It should be a given that they'll dominate against all but the very best teams in the world. You're never going to beat or draw with them on points just got to find a way and blag by.

I'll be in there when all of our players and the manager are shit again on here. So I'll be there after the first misplaced pass.

Its pretty galling when we've been doing sensible business by almost everyone's assessment, slowly building, massively below what we should be able to do and now cant even do that. At least it makes Klopp's crying seem even more pathetic. If these rules had been implemented before the 70s his club would have been in Everton's shadow forever. The arbitrary musical chairs element to it all is especially discomforting.

Beat me to it by a week. Portsmouth. Still think my favourite crowd serge that season was the one towards David Speedie at Blackburn

Can remember where I was when the penalty situation went down - dads car at a round-about in Washington, nice bright afternoon - cant remember the rest of it. I guess it lodged as the moment that was going to at least send us down to the 3rd Division if not kill us (was talk of that that season) Totally agree with that. Like a massive version of a referee giving decisions against you getting the crowd and subsequently the team hot. Was really the motivation and momentum to take into those last two games compared to if we'd drawn say. In a weird way thats still one of my favourite seasons.

No following January. He was terrible under Dalglish to be brutally honest too. Until Gullit came he'd have been in the bad signing pile with 90% of the other ones.

Definitely brought in to save the likes of Bury these rules like. It might stop us supplanting the usual suspects who themselves supplanted others but the real beneficiaries of that will be Sutton and Newport.

When they gave us 6-8k tickets in 2006 that had to inconvenience by their logic thousands of fans because they're so well and loyally supported but in reality maybe only a few hundred since they only got over 40k twice that season. Was less home fans at that game than our intertoto/preseason game under Souness at the start of that season. Never heard hide nor hair about their match thread. Be interested to see if that spenk Roker Mackem watched it since he brands everyone that makes a football related comment about us or watches our games as being 'sportswashed'.

I'm now wondering how it is for the Milan derby and how it was when many teams had the same generic kit just different colours. France, Bulgaria, Finland and Sweden all had the exact same Adidas (Liverpool 91-93) kits in the same World Cup Qualifying group once. Southampton/Villa/Coventry's strips in the late 80s was the same strip when there'd have been some black and white TV's kicking around. Depending on the designs in our games I think quite a few people are at least initially taken aback by similarities. I'm for home shirts if we win. So there's no pretending it wasn't them at SJP and no pretending it was someone else at their place.

So it should be. He was there a lot longer. Won everything with them and didn't sing songs about Ferguson when he left. Many of our fans dont like him.

Were on a run in the fixture of late but they still feel awkward to me, so mixed is our record there, at home even against them too. Not saying we'll win but at least can go in with confidence.

Happened years ago to be fair, it was only Ashley's rank cheapness that reeled it in. Everything that's being said now was being said 20years back.

The intro to Italia 90, my first World Cup, on ITV had a football spinning around and the icons of previous world cup on the panels: Charlton, Pele, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Rossi, Maradona and we've lost them all in a head-spinningly short space of time

With their Formula 1 connections, could be a new Lister Storm in our future.

That sounds like a future UEFA format for something. Not quite sure what that means but we've been in the topflight more despite the headstart and then you've got their 5years in the third tier where we were two divisions ahead

Putting a strong tackle in on 17year old Miley with the game lost, trying to rev up the fans nearby straight after and lunging at but getting completely skinned by Isak leading to a penalty is a hat-trick of examples of great play to them.

There's a proporition of them fixated on Newcastle first and foremost and their orientation towards Sunderland is based around that. The type that only go or care about derbies or cup finals and tend not to go from my experience at work and school. The majority that go or went regularly that I've encountered aren't RTG-esque and would probably distance themselves from it. The nextdoor neighbour is RTG esque unfortunately. Only been known to celebrate (literally had a party) beating us and celebrate Man United beating us in the cup final.

"They fielded their best team today and on stats beat us less than 2 nil" Winning comprehensively on stats is all that really counts.
