Wolfcastle

In others words.... like a friendly except a far bigger gate than most.

JDT vibes now. Don't even expect anything.

I think its just that its two separate games thats thrown people. Used to happen very regularly in tournaments, even with us 92, 94, 97 twice, 99 and 04

Scunthrope If he has to be in football, its a good fit actually, even has his personality type in their name.

“He didn’t do too bad in the circumstances, with the owner and everything else… end of.” The owner even someone as stupid as Bruce had to know was ruining this club and loathed by its fans but for whom he couldn't wait to betray Sheffield Wednesday to come and be the p1ss boy of. Despite being told intimately by people like Shearer and able to gage how utterly undesireable he was to the fans. With whom he cooked up the scam of getting a huge pay off from future owners to get rid of after getting overemployed beyond his level to begin with based on nothing to do with football. Now, £8million later, he's implied to be a bad owner to make Bruce look less 5hit.

Just seen he's describing (insert name of whover opponent is) Middlesbrough as the toughest possible start. Good to see the conscious effort to not run down his own team and big up the opposition has been thrown under the bus immediately when he's got arse to cover

Loathsome b*stard that bloke is. Everytime I read or hear him it makes me think "is he that dumb and deluded or his he that much of a connyving lying c*nt or a both?"

Taught me not to leave early that Mcghee goal. Wanted to but was talked out of it. Only did twice after that once because I got a lift to an anglo-italian game and the other the 6-2 v Man United, worked flexi time in the city so thought I'd salvage something, still missed a goal though so the lesson stands. *Tino's second v Metz is worth a shout for control from a big punt and overall goal, does that, turns a defender, saunters past another and finished perfectly making it look like he barely got out of first gear

He was a key worker

fun Harvey related fact: Radio Newcastle used a remix of Stay Another Day as the theme for their sports coverage just after it was released. Always reminds me of beating Blackburn in the cup. But thanks to bigwigs associating it with Christmas for cheap royalties I cant listen to it and reminisce without feeling crazy now. Thank heavens the label that owns Cotton Eye Joe (out at the same time) didn't do that or else I couldn't listen to that January-November either.

Jur's like a human version of when you get to play as a major character on the old Star Wars battlefront games and have to wipe someone out to stay boss

Oh no

Ashley in Arab clothes I seen the other day. 300m+ for the club, 160m on players alone, another 10-25m on people behind the scenes, training ground updates and stadium improvements. Just like that time when Ashley spent half a billion on the club in 9month marra

Cant say he didn't earn it. As much as he'd be someone I'd liked to have improved on First time I thought he looked a player was at West Ham, took responsibility at times, did some creative stuff hitherto unforseen and looked half a foot taller.

How much more grief did Pardew get as well. Bruce got, what!?, one home game of chants of 'sacked in the morning' and s**t online like everybody else. He handled 95% less stick than Pardew got, worse if anything. Bruce's nice guy alibi helps swing it too. Pardew never disguised (couldn't really) his c*ntliness. Bruce seemed far more servile and likely legitimately friendly towards Ashley too.

The "cam on you ganners" wife?

Exactly. Demand isn't endless but nor is it limited to what it is now. There was space to get in and see the first game of 92/93 but a few weeks later it was all ticket and soon after that an all season ticket lock-out for years and had to be extended again long after the hype and the KK era. The 6k increase then was instantly nowhere near enough and everyone's gates are way up now on the gates then. I just wouldn't make that mistake again if it can be avoided.

He drove into my estate which is adjacent to a shopping centre during the pandemic after a shop. Realised it was a cul-de-sac before going back from whence he came. Drives to the shops like he plays some might say.

I got Papavasilou (well 'Nico') on my shirt A mate got Tomasson on his I thought Marcelino looked good based on one friendly worth baring in mind

"Billy E is not a Rover" or some sh1t?

Were being messed around for every player we go in for, don't we all know by now we got Wood because he had a release clause without that we may have got nobody, they almost had to do it and we all know it was a Killer/Sheedy needs must signing not a Cole/Beardsley. He obviously didn't play well but his replacement at Burnley was a downgrade and people were putting him forward of us. So he evidentally can't be as bad as people make out. Just not having someone to hit has a bigger impact on the team than whether he played well or not. When Ferdinand was out QPR played Devon White, a plank, but it allowed the team to continue to play the same way. I dunno, just not one for getting on players that aren't playing well but trying. Lazy ones and pr1cks yes

"Ticket prices are rising, while Mike Ashley is guilty of possibly at worst being a disinterested badly advised owner, he kept prices low" Anything after that is redundant on account of being obviousy a mackem or a morbidly thick sad bastard Aye Ashley kept ticket prices low out of the goodness of his heart, a greatly diminished futile product and thousands walking away and refusing to come back because of him was neither here nor there.

Horses for courses I guess. I'm more taking out of it knowing they're not there and them pretending to be. Would rather have SFX. They commentated on a game between Coventry and Swindon from Leeds after the Leeds game got called off and played it straight ,mentioning the situation multiple times. Just as well because the satellite feed died just as Swindon scored.

Well grim as that thread is I did enjoy reading the 'Sunderland's biggest transfer coup' thread. Gyan, Wickham, Gordon, Nonceson, RIchardson and Giacherinni mentioned by the OP as possibilities. Damning by feint praise, their self annointed massiveness. What big club would consider any of them a coup?

I got alerted to that when Tyler described it as raining at St James Park when it was actually snow. Then the fact he was also commentating on a six other games simultaneously. Its actually a major pet hate when they pretend to be there "here at Goodison Park" or classically mention the time just before the goal "52 minutes gone here at Selhurst Park" then, would you credit it, a goal is scored. You can dub commentary on without that and not insult our intelligence and lie basically.
