  1. Need Blitzkreig Bop in there obviously. You could also pay tribute to the stadium DJ by hoying on the New Radicals, since SJP was the only place that song was ever heard after they ceased to trouble the charts
  2. Also A19 from their outtakes record

    Literally every single team sings the Wembley song when appropriate
  5. Will be going into town for photography purposes, will listen to the first half on the way back and then see if my dad can get it on his dodgy firestick

    Won the race for Well Past Their Best Popstars With A Fanbase In Their 40s And 50s yet again curse them
  7. Seen in the context of a long term rebuilding project it's understandable that we didn't spend big on players we didn't really want to maintain a position we didn't even expect to be in at this stage. Of course it'd be heartbreaking to see 3rd or 4th slip away after the first half of the season because they didn't bring in some overpriced stopgaps, but our punching so far above our weight is exacerbating it for everyone. I don't think it's been a great window, but I believe in what they're trying to do and I admire them for sticking to the project, assuming that's what's happening
  8. Who gives a fuck what teams the top six put out in the early rounds A bit of momentum and belief is pretty welcome after the last two decades like
  9. assuming that this is a clever observation on the way different accents finish their sentences with different words,
  10. Look forward to seeing him play. 21 year olds are not legendary for their mature and considered decision making, and most of the videos show him having a deft touch and decent pace largely coming to nothing because he's in a dogshit Everton side. Hope he's fucking brilliant and I've never minded a twisty objectionable little fucker when they're our twisty objectionable little fucker

    I've always just thought that you get the local fans you deserve for being a decent team, you get the out of area fans, hangers on and glory hunters you deserve for whatever reason - marketing, footballing success, family history, whatever. Like I say, nobody is doing it with a gun to their head so you have to work on the basis that the club deserves the support it gets. The hundreds of billions of fake Manchester United fans all around the world really want to associate themselves with supporting Manchester United, or they just wouldn't do it. If Tromso Rovers were as well marketed, same would probably apply to them. The reason Sunderland aren't getting many glory hunters and hangers on is that they've been shite for decades. The reason we don't have many is that we also have been shite for decades

    This is exactly it, really. Ultimately you get the number of fans that you deserve. The randoms and hangers on aren't doing it with a gun to their head
  13. I always feel that Roeder did ok (in the context of history, maybe not so much at the time) despite the uphill battle and him being sacrificed to save Shepherd. He started as caretaker didn't he? Depends what you mean by 'worked out' I suppose. Lad won the intertoto

    Aye, friend of mine with a season ticket says there are always bairns looking for bother, right enough. I must have had a very sheltered existence, have never seen any bother at a football game ever though I don't doubt it happens.

    Magnificent spectacle. Like folk suddenly and fondly remembered the misery and disharmony of the past after months of carefree decent football oblivion, and instantly started gouging lumps out of each other as if Mike Ashley had just used the SJP advertising hoardings to promote his book on Brexit
