Who did South Shields get?

Haha. Surely there was a better option for him than a crammed train?

I remember 2011. We had just beaten Sunderland. Growing up in a mixed area- and not in an era when we had had everything to ourselves- winning at Sunderland was such an outrageously good thing. Like Bart Simpson hearing school was cancelled- pleasure overload. We were playing Fulham the next weekend and in between there was the usual Ashley transfer window shitshow. That had felt unfortunate but hardly fatal, I just couldn’t wait to watch us again. It had been such a glorious week- replaying the highlights, texting mates going over details. I still vividly remember some tosser on here telling us he wasn’t going to watch the match, he was watching Man Utd instead. Not to support them, he still supported Newcastle, but he just didn’t see why he should watch it when we hadn’t signed who he had wanted us to sign that week. Most distanced I have ever felt from our fanbase that. We won 2-1 against Fulham and went onto finish fifth. That bloke still posts regularly on here and seems to have mellowed a bit.

Can somebody even explain the Tonali question?

Why can’t they play each other?

Wish they would fuck off to be honest. Don’t care what they’re supposed to be doing for us- it’s a shit price to pay.

It’s bizarre to expect Howe to somehow address this though.

I hope I don’t sound precious, and I know it’s a bit of fun and doesn’t matter, but do you reckon any other of the Athletic podcasts dedicated to a particular club featuring journalists paid to cover said club spends quite as much airtime doing hilarious banter about not wanting to attend games because they’re far away? Games they’re paid to watch. I would just drop the running joke, lads.

I don’t like hypocrites. He always presented himself in public as a footballer.

What’s the name of the podcast?

lol

Boring twat.

“The image of the monkey’s paw derives from a 1902 short story by WW Jacobs” Fucking hell, they don’t half lean in on their middlebrow references do they? Yes, we know, mate- it was also in a Simpsons episode.

Enjoy.

Because they’ve spent billions of pounds funded by the abuse of minorities to negate any reasonable threat an opponent could offer. It’s shit and boring.

Why?

Is there a more boring team ever than Manchester City? A week or so ago I was enthralled by the Olympics. And now it’s back to these dull cunts winning in as a clinical way as possible. It’s just genuinely shit. Hopefully we’re the next boring bastards but let’s not act like this is good or entertaining.

What are people expecting the points drop to look like for this one?

I thought the bloke on the platform might have been some referee who fucked us over in the past or something? Don’t really get it if it’s just an actor

Desperate for a spare for this if anybody hears of any

Feel like there’s been a slight rewrite of history on our first PL relegation and the summer that followed. Now people act like it was a no-brainer we were coming back up, but that close season was awful and the club felt neglected. Lots of talk about admin and another relegation. Memories that quickly pop into my mind: 6-1 at Leyton Orient and the club releasing a statement asking anybody who wanted to buy the club to simply shoot them over an email. I remember Mick Lowes hosting some crisis thing from the Irish centre live on Metro and to his credit, being alone (and heckled) when he said we might comfortably win the league.

Often think about that cup win at Ewood Park.

Who’s the lad that played a cross to shearer that was so bad Shearer screamed to the bench to ‘get him off, man, he’s shit’?

Bye

No but we have fun
