You did, and you haven’t!

[Northumbiron]

I doubt very much if he would have been sacked.

[Northumbiron]

And here was me thinking that was what caused it!

[Northumbiron]

Dark?

Nice and sunny in my bit of the UK.

James T Kirk.

[Northumbiron]

Yes, I concur with CT.

The important thing is that he sounded like he was aware of the criticism of the system and learned to adapt.

And that can only be a good thing.

When S*earer signed for Newcastle part of his demands were that he got the No.9 shirt, was made captain and took all the penalties.

Much to the amusement of Les Ferdinand who happily took the No.10.

Another ex-Iron playoff hero.

Myles Hippolyte with the winning goal for Wimbledon today.

Is Campbell good enough for NL?

[Northumbiron]

[Northumbiron]

Yes Deerey, my mate was there. I hope he didn’t leave on 85 minutes like he does at SoL!

Texted me to say “2007 all over again?”. Not quite but I get the sentiment.

No doubt the Mackems will be odds on favourites for a swift return to the Championship, but it’s worth it just to shut the Mags up about being Wembley winners!

Narrowboat on the Stainforth & Keadby Canal?

Funny that, because I watched the Europa League Final and the football on show was shite!

So not so much about the level you’re at as how you perform on the day.

If AB can put together a team that will go out there and fight for the shirt and each other we’ll be fine. The problem we had during our rapid demise was too many players not putting in a shift.

[Northumbiron]

Trophyless Manchester. Who’d have thunk it?

[Northumbiron]

Looking back to last summer that there kit launch was truly prophetic!

[Northumbiron]

When South Shields went full time there were a couple of players (don’t remember who) that wouldn’t give up their jobs.

I know one went to Spennymoor, not sure about the other(s).

[Northumbiron]

Same people who say that he’s definitely leaving the club?

[Northumbiron]

Bringing back chip buttys would be a start.

[Northumbiron]

Robert’s and Whitehall feeling the love!

Would that perhaps tempt them to stay?

[Northumbiron]

He was jumping up and down spraying the champagne* freely enough on Sunday!

*given our financial situation probably Prosecco.

[Northumbiron]

You stole my thunder WG. Blackett would be a good signing. Glen Taylor at Spennymoor has been prolific but he’s 35 now.

Don’t agree re: Storer DSGM. Seen a few of Chester’s other games with my mate this season and he’s looked a bit shaky at times.

[Northumbiron]

Let’s see if Mick’s as comfortable predicting NLP scores as he was with NLN.

Weekly Rene. Usually The Iron’s fixture plus four more.

Big thanks to SST for organising the competition. I’ll be signing up for next year as and when.

Bloody Hell, if you’re an old codger at 64 you can call me Methuselah!

Pass with Merit.

Could have attained a distinction with greater application.

We ain’t keeping hold of Fitz. I think a deal has already been done.

Is Clunan too lightweight for NLP? I would argue that we need a bit of steel in midfield next season.

Happy to keep Maxi, Evans and Alfie plus another experienced CB. Will be an interesting couple of months ahead.

[Northumbiron]

NWI seems to have gone missing.

[Northumbiron]

Neither do opposition defenders, that’s why we should keep him.

First Final I’ve seen where both sets of fans were in tears at the final whistle!

HMS PTL has arrived at it’s destination as predicted. Faced choppy waters, but completed the voyage to the promise land.

She should have won the Blue Ribband, but instead limped into port three weeks later.

Now some of the crew will no doubt jump ship and Captain Butler will have to send out his Press Gang to put together a company worthy of steering her around the Cape of Vanarama and into the EFL Ocean.

[Northumbiron]

Thank f*** we’re out of that bloody awful league!

Now let’s stay out.
