‘Proper’ football club is something that Man Utd fanzines in the nineties made up. If you think about it for one second it makes no sense. With the exception of MK Dons, every club is England is ‘proper’

Remember when new owners made me envious instead of curious

They start heartily but badly, losing two one against Villa in an early Saturday kick-off. Shock the nation, but mildly, beating Man Utd in late October/November 1-0 at home in a game that is more about their opponent’s shortcomings. They are eventually relegated on sub thirty points.

Thing is, there’s guys like Giles Smith (is he still around?) who you can imagine aren’t huge experts but have genuine talent at writing so are bringing that to the table. Richardson another one. Then the nerds who have their place appealing to the other nerds. This dickheads operates in a middle area- neither a good enough writer to compensate for his lack of football knowledge nor a clumsy writer who compensates with imparting genuine knowledge on the reader. A waste of everybody’s time, and an obvious pisshead.

Might look into going to this. Fucking hell, last year Doncaster was a treck.

Why does he think he’s dry and funny? He’s not dry or funny. He does his Gasio joke twice.

Eh, Conte’s leaving? When did that happen?

To this day, has anybody within football been this direct and outspoken about the sheer ridiculousness about the situation at the top of English football? On Sky Sports as well!

At which point Leeds need to win by how many to whittle it down?

I think it was the fact that Owen was so brazen about not caring. Arshole.

“I remember Look North, years ago making a right fuss over some daft SAFC fans burning a kids sized mag top, virtually implying that we burn little kids.” Yes, who could forget. That time when that happened. Christ, when do we officially get to ignore these deranged fuckwits?

Nobody ever mentions the Arsenal game, presumably because instead of the heartbreak narrative it was just a case of a dogshit performance. Awful.

Yes please

Fucked. Lovely stuff.

And of course, even if we were going to double his wages he would never sign for us on account of his astonishing loyalty to Sunderland

We’d be giving him super money. He would be around his mates and the shit bars in Boldon his family hang about in. The whole thing just feels like the worst possible direction we should be going in with our new owners. He is also a cunt.

Well, he’s right. The odds can be whatever they are, but you won’t win. Thinking otherwise is what bookie scum want people to do

It’s always related to how well your own club is doing too. Becomes very tempting to take your own disappointment at your team and move it outwards to encompass the whole game in such a way as to not look fickle. Hornby does this in Fever Pitch but does cop to it, in fairness.

Hugely unfair if season ticket holders get to buy extra

The one on its own is presumably the driver’s

Yeah, I paid something like 900 quid for my seat in the East Stand last summer.

For years we tortured ourselves with this unfounded idea that City’s owners were in for us but did a runner for whatever reason. Would love it to be Chelsea’s turn next.

Something about Johnson's victim asking for it

Surely the fake money would be in reference to our new owners? Still tacky, like.

Was good to hear our fans sing his name last weekend for this reason. Let’s reclaim our heroes
