Wolfcastle

Just catching up. I think Dalglish did the worst job of the lot of them. Followed by Souness. But didn't and don't dislike Dalglish. Don't like Souness on any level and find him a horrible derranged person, not sure its hate because it cant be the same as Allardyce or Bruce levels. Bruce Allardyce Souness

Contentious.

They not realised through the super close bond and special interest in global events that Bilbao aren't new to 'supporting terrorism' (ETA). Love the 'fake bond' we have with them. Be news to everyone from both clubs that was at the two games in the 90s and Futbol Mundial must have hired a load of actors when they covered it and the Mayor of Bilbao, but compared to their deep bond of having the same colour shirt, like a thousand other teams it is pretty fake like

He's getting some abuse online. West Brom fans consoling themselves with bets on him to be the first sacked, "Bruce has literally done nothing tactically" "Lai vetoed a move to hire Wilder as manager" Absolutely disgusting stuff.

That's when you'll really see the innovative training method of making players run during pre-season whilst shouting random numbers at them pay off

Think the worst place for this match is Wembley. So no doubt it'll be played there until we all turn to powder after this weekends final

That's not unusual. Motherwell, St Johnstone, Kilmarnock, St Mirren always more Rangers/Celtic fans than home fans. Like when we played at QPR and Wimbledon under KK

This thread has beered off topic humongously

We've been battle tested this preseason. That's assuaging. Though it'll matter little when the nerves kick in for next week in a few hours.

Is that arc from the roof of their old stadium? Lush touch if so.

Named after Princess Diana before she died?!

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.
