I did as well - I was saying to a mate that it’s funny that his celebration when playing was so functional and unemotive - but as a fan he goes fucking crackers. I reckon it answers the age old question of whether players enjoy goals more than fans

Kevin Brock is the first footballer I can remember disliking for being shite I loved Liam O’Brien mind

Both are true - but he never indulged in the ‘impossible to manage / expectations’ pish which made Bruce and Souness the ne plus ultra of shite NUFC managerd

Seems harsh, but it’s only because the lad is starting out. He’s a D at the moment, though he clearly has a lot of potential.

If we’d won ‘ten in a row’ that era would’ve remained utterly shite

Hard to pull off the old ‘look at those weird football obsessives with nowt else gannin on’ when you’re so obviously angry and writing on the internet about how angry you are about a football team winning a game

It’s exactly what happened last time - but instead of Dolly and friends heading to Sunderland town centre for signatures, today it’s all online I suspect that this time it’ll make zero difference

We wouldn’t get 100m for Bruno - and that’s why no-one triggered the clause

B for Bruno

It’s his greatest weakness - he often seems to need an extra second on the ball

I think that’s roughly where he’d be - bottom six, not outstanding, though I think a perfectly capable CM. That was us not too long ago - I think he’s a solid enough player for that level. I suppose the difference with Kelly is that he’s joined one of the most successful clubs in world football and it just seems like a crazy transfer.

Honestly I don’t want to contemplate what’s required to be done at the moment to kick on - we’ve just won a trophy.

Longstaff is a D - he’s a lower PL club capable player.

I missed BDB, didn’t think we’d be starting this up the morning after a LC Final! BDB is a rock solid C. A C+.

Sorry to hear that, but glad it sounds like it is under control

List of clubs who have won something since we last did: That list looks so much better today

I don’t agree with the first paragraph (NUFC weren’t in any danger of dropping to the third tier and folding). But I completely agree with the second

There is no club without KK - so forever makes sense to me.

Was my MOTM tbh

I’m on the train home now - knackered and still drunk (it’s 7am). I also can’t stop blubbing. What a right fucking fanny I am. All I can think about is the people I’ve known who dreamt of this day and didn’t get to experience. RIP to all of you xx

Likewise - I’ve just witnessed the only thing I’ve ever wanted to see without change since I was six. Thanks, Eddie - you’ve just knackered my only dream

Thread should be closed

Oops- remember folks, you’re meant to talk about dictatorships, not Muslims. Otherwise you just sound racist

I reckon Bruce also give him tips re being 2-0 up in a cup final. Defo.
