    Aye, have disabled the lane change warning system on my car. If I don’t know I’m changing lanes then I’m not concentrating!

    But for every new bit of kit you lose something else. Whatever happened to cassette/cd players and cigarette lighters?

    Newcastle United paid £124 million for Woltemade and Wissa.

    Great value for money eh?

    Mrs NI would have them banned along with pickups like the Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max.

    My Chester supporter mate although he lives in Gateshead used to always have a Land Rover Freelander. “I need it for the dogs” he used to tell me. Not had any dogs for 10+ years now but drives a huge Range Rover. Prangs it regularly despite it having a reversing camera which he says he ignores because he doesn’t trust it!

    The whole Land/Range Rover thing seems to be a badge of honour. Nothing to do with practicality, more the “look at me!” Kudos.

    Worse than that, restaurants that price their menu at (for example) 7.5 when they mean £7.50.

    They must save £££££££s on printing ink 😂

    We scored enough goals to be a solid team, but we need to score more if we want to have a realistic shot of promotion. Defence was far too error prone though and was the bigger problem.

    We scored enough goals to win half of our games.

    We drew 13!

    Whether this was bad defending or not scoring enough earlier in the game is up for discussion.

    I suspect it’s a bit of both, although we do have a habit of conceding late goals.

    My new grandson has just learned to feed himself today.

    Perhaps some on here should learn to do the same instead of expecting someone to hold the bottle for them!

    We’ve got a potential 20 goals a season striker in the building if we use him correctly.

    PS I don’t mean Whitehall.

    Agree with wondergoals (yeah, I know. These things happen sometimes). Rowley and Westbrooke were both similar players.

    Would rather we sign someone a bit more attack minded.

    Westbrooke was never our player anyway so que sera, sera!

    Okay! A small rant about supermarkets.

    Been down to our local Tesco. For the past couple of months they’ve been improving my “shopping experience”.

    Have they bollocks!

    Nothing is where it used to be, no logic behind the new layout. Shelf after shelf of processed crap, can’t find what you came in for, so you walk to the other end of the building to find a member of staff who tells you that it’s back where you just came from!

    After wasting what seems like forever wandering the aisles you head for the checkout only to realise that where there was once 10 there are now only 4 with the adjacent space given over to self checkout points. You begrudgingly use them only to find that even though you have bought four cans of zero alcohol cider you still need to wait for a member of staff to check that you’re over 21!

    You vow never to return to this hell-hole but to pay extra and go to the middle class warmth of Waitrose. But deep inside you know you’ll be back as you’ve a whole shit-load of clubcard points to redeem!

    Arrrgh!

    I reckon the only person who thinks the same as Tuchel is Dan Burn’s mum!

    Reminds me of the lost years of the 70s when flair players like Stan Bowles, Tony Currie, Rodney Marsh and Frank Worthington were often left our in favour of “safer” options.

    Probably an apt time to remind everyone what the SFA did to Rangers all those years ago.

    Thing is it wasn’t a one-off. Apparently they”d done the same at Oxford and Ipswich.

    As harsh as it may seem to the Saints fans it had to be nipped in the bud or others would have done the same.

    At least we’ll now see Boro’s PoTS Hayden Hackney gracing the Wembley turf!

    I hate the fashion that’s been around for ages.Black or grey tracky bottoms too tight, elasticated ankle and huge trainers.With a black or grey hoody top

    Often with urine stains in the crotch area.

    You mean the “Unite the Kingdom Rally”?

    There’s a special kind of irony in that!

    “We’re here in our millions!”

    Really? There were more inside Wembley Stadium watching the Cup Final.

    Just realised Carlton wasn’t on the list. I thought he was out on loan. Did he leave on a permanent contract?
