*assuming a single goal victory

Surely they didn’t head down from Newcastle today? It would be a coach from somewhere in that London

In an ambassadorial role or something might make sense. I wouldn’t let her anywhere near the steering wheel.

Get that ‘70s Coventry away kit on lads - you’re all going to have rumblings in your underpants

I’m going for us taking a surprise 2-0 lead, and holding on comfortably until the last ten mins until a late Liverpool goal makes us all collectively have panic attacks and brown pants before the whistle finally goes. HTL

Nearly thirty years since I was there - it was an odd little ground, but it’s definitely not the worst looking one

I gave up yonks ago on the aesthetics of football stadiums. The truth is that they’re all fucking ugly structures - it’s all steel, glass and concrete. I’m yet to see a structure made from those materials that I’d consider beautiful (and I don’t mean impressive - I’ve seen plenty of those). Newcastle’s centre is one of Georgian sandstone architecture - a hulking great football ground sat next to it is an eyesore (and the Caulkins of the world can fuck off with their ‘cathedral on the hill’ pish. The city has two of those already - and if anyone wants to see what a truly beautiful cathedral looks like, they can hop on a train from central to Durham in ten mins). SJP is ugly even with that said - it is brutalist in its architecture, and straightforwardly built to get as many arses on seats as possible in that footprint. The SJP I knew as a kid (which looks nowt like the current one) was also an ugly, dilapidated wreck. Yes, it was host our memories - but memories don’t go when a building is pulled down.

Need sleep to have dreams 😬

Haha good lad

Rumbelows is hurt by this comment. Or it would be, if it still existed

Willock is a C/D, but I’ve just about went D as it isn’t clear if the lad is going to recover to previous levels. There’s talent there, but my worry would be that he’s just too injury prone.

Discovering Villa and Everton’s dislikes came as a surprise to me a decade or so ago - which should be met with the only appropriate response, which is to hate them right back.

Just invite Big Dunc around to watch it for you. That would provide some assurances

Was just thinking this. Thieving cunts shouldn’t be breaking in, but fucking hell lads, surely security doesn’t cost that much of a % of your income?

They should be offering up the current SJP and where the stack is to new parkland.

Because we’d have qualified for Europe

Win tomorrow and the Europeometer can be put away

Watching it in Sydney at 3:30am local time Monday with 250 others who have all hopefully managed to get annual leave …

I used to be entertained by this daft cunt in Idols.

I was never much of a one for the film - or the theme tbh. I was always in full agreement with The Mag complaining about it being played by Barry in the Box before kick off. Sorry all

Classic, later covered for the Sid the Sexist cartoon by Simon Donald

Don’t know how we’re on page 3 of a Newcastle Wembley song list request and nee bugger has Mungo Jerry yet

Two of my mates bunged the turnstile bloke £40 each in 1999 just before kick off to watch the cup final vs Man Utd. So there is that reason.

Like I said, meaningless

I’m just glad you’re off to your spiritual home, with your yoghurt-knitting loony left ways. Being able to pronounce focaccia correctly would get your head kicked in if you asked for that in The Star
