Sods law weather's been cracking days either side. Comes to something mind when you're just wanting good weather for a trophy parade.

Not for me. We've bigger things now, bigger games and occasions than we've had against them. The games didn't stand out in the past when that was the case. Don't need any more drama than every game mattering because were challenging for big things. The matches are usually forgettable and none personally stand out as threatening a top ten in terms of occasions so just brings nothing for me except preserving the status-quo by beating them

Could say exactly the same thing about the old Wembley. Its a stupid arguement on mutiple levels tbh comparing a final to a standard PL match for starters beside that most people on here bemoaned the atmosphere at the same venue and same end of the stadium in 2023.

Hate every single thing about that even before the soulless putrid couldn't give a fuck football starts

They've never forgave Athletic Bilbao for basing their colours on Southampton .

Unintentionally Mark Twain-esque.

Couldn't get Agbonalahor's club out the championship could he? Got fired and his replacement managed it at the first time of asking. And his replacement was/is an absolute nothing of a manager himself.

100% convinced he only got the West Brom job on the fumes of the very prevelant narrative that he'd done a great job here and the 'demanding Geordie' narrative.

Players don't deliberatey miss chances but it was a conscious choice for him to treat this well paying elite career as paid retirement.

Comparison is the thief of joy. But its totally embedded in them as the only measure they have. The best they've had it and likely ever will was 7th a couple times and the primary objective and cause for celebration then was about being 'north east top dogs'.

Shouldn't really need to be confirmed at all, its been a given everywhere for nearly 100years.

I heard the mackems are doing something like that. A 70% attendance rate. Would love to know what they're going to do with someones ticket who doesn't make it other than give it away for free and hope that person can be bothered to go.

Again though in 92/93 people were locked out and didn't get a chance to go to those games. Nothing more was needed beyond Leicester if you were there and for what its worth I didn't think much of the parade, photos came out dark as hell, but had to be there, would be more so for people who didn't get to go.

Hilton > Swing Bridge > Grey Street > Eldon > Gallowgate > SJP with crowd and Sir Bobby's your uncle. *Iconic imagery. Good business for the town establishments prior. People able to have a celebratory drink. Was so easy.

Aside from anything else Wembley looks much better in match cam than on the hard-camera shot. Every frame of the match play looks like it could be on the cover of a Rothmans yearbook or something

Abba - the winner takes it all

Why mention 73 and not 37 ? or one of our 6 FA Cups, why would 73 trump any of them if time plays no part?

He's got some gall mind. Imagine getting by your own admission your 'dream job' and being this lazy. Probably why it was his dream job, cos he knew the owner didn't give a stuff so he could get away with putting his feet up.

Being locked out of a stadium I think people can take but being locked out future celebrations wasn't anticipated. We cant have that.

Won a canny few of them too, prefer this to ones hardly anybody experienced or can remember

We were away 3 on 2 on the counter at the end there again mind. Twice they referee's whistle has saved them in that scenario. Suppose in the grand scheme of things I can let it go mind

Aye. All the shat we went through is actually part of why this feels how it feels. The near misses experienced or handed down, the 70years, Ashley. Other clubs (Boro, Coventry, Luton, Wimbledon) went as long without winning anything but not with the near misses, including the league and with a history of once being successful to add to the mix

Has any club ever thought of the championship play off final trophy being a major trophy nevermind the 3rd division one before now? They class the Division3 play-off as a major cup, Sunluns a massive club

Dalglish has no other look. Or style of play
