As one of the forum’s resident alcoholics, 24/7 drinking had me hanging out in bed watching Netflix while off my face. Putting on pants was hard work let alone leaving the house for going farther than the liquor store. Playing in the PL at an elite level while doing that would be impressive tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve all done it a on a Sunday afternoon - though I admit that my run arounds at RB for the likes of Stocksfield may not be totally comparable to playing RB in the PL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I think, in Mrs G's line of graft, they call it "Functioning Alcoholic" & "Alcohol Dependent" 2 distinct categories, apparently. Boat load of people, out there, managing to keep their lives ticking over.....just. Remember laughing at the "I'm not drunk you know" family on thd Fast Show Functioning as a professional athlete must take some doing tho. Maybees more on the "Dependant" radar, methinks. McGrath, Merson? That SAFC bloke that smashed those cars up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted Tuesday at 14:07 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:07 Obviously being local it shouldn't seem as far fetched as it feels, but why has he befriended multiple Gateshead players? Especially to the point of them being comfortable to pull a prank like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite astonishing. Edited Tuesday at 16:21 by Mahoneys Tache Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
