In decades to come, he will be spoken of as Moncur’s successor, as kin to Shearer, as the man who believed when nobody believed. As the perfect captain, a leader by example and a leader full stop, who looked to involve and celebrate others at the precise moment when the world was looking at him. As Newcastle’s history boy. Cracking description. Him, Burn and Tripps are the architects of the new era, along with Eddie and Tindall.

Spent a few weeks singing it in 2004/05 but with Nicky Butt as the subject when it first came out.

Here comes the Brucey Beer Buddies Bonus.

After the fat gravy stained Mags patter, this one has rapidly come round to bite them on their claggy arses.

I’m liking Hackney from Boro for some squad depth next season.

Pretty certain one of our lot did similar with a mackem flag at the England game, so glass houses and stones spring to mind.

6 in a row marra FTM

They’ve been a bit ShItaly tonight.

Juventus sack Motta #PrayForLloydKelly

Agreed. Was expecting the usual Delaney-esque read but thought it was about as balanced as you can get.

Moist Bean.

Two in a row marra.

Bruce by a landslide. For all Pardew’s faults, the Hatem-Demba-Papiss triumvirate at least gave us some really great memories and a Top 5 finish. Bruceball was season after season of circling just above the u-bend. The state of the “poor-me” porcine pet lamb.

“Wasn’t too bad” in Hope terms means he’ll be fine for the next game.

Well done sir!

“Howay 5-0”? Think I watched it that many times, along with “So Close” that the tape corrupted.

Probably one for the Little Thing In Life thread but sitting with a cup of coffee, sun shining through the window, dog at your feet, smile on my face happily remembering a week ago.

Or Lloyd Kelly wearing that shirt. The footballing equivalent of double denim.

Slum landlord, liar and a lazy pig all rolled into one.

They’ve flipped. This has managed to send them over the cliff edge and break them. Full blown howling at the moon stuff.

As opposed to Sunderland and the area around Seaham, Murton, Easington and Peterlee?

6-1 v Spurs, aka The Cockerels Massacre.

Even after his injuries? I’m not sold…

Durham is black and white anyway, so hardly fair.

Fucks sake…
