    Did you specify the last 25 years to avoid Bill Punton being mentioned?

    Didn’t Rochdale go down this route mid-season?

    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?

    Followed many of these along the road through our two villages. Limit is 60 along the open sections but 30 through the village streets. They continue doing 40/45 all the way then get caught on the speed camera.

    Always makes me laugh!

    And our club flog virtual pitch patches at top dollar more than most other clubs, that’s not like scunny is it lol, and you only get a digital certificate and very little else plus it’s only for one year.

    Should do what they do up here at Tynedale RFC with their sponsored pitch squares.

    At the end of the final game of the season (which coincidentally was against Scunthorpe this year) they let a cow onto the pitch and which ever sponsor’s “square” it deposits a pat in wins the lottery!

    I was at the game but didn’t hang around to hear the result as it took said beast an hour and a half to perform!

    They are doing something on the pitch.
    I drove from old Tesco to M&S carpark via Jack Brownsword way, and was surprised to be following a tractor and 20 ton trailer down towards the ground.

    That sandy soil is ideal for growing sugar beet!

    Sufc is not a charity either we’re supposed to be a professional football club not some two bit amateur Dog and duck outfit, what other businesses ask for freebies or want people to work for nothing.

    I’ve spent the whole morning with people who work for nothing.

    This country would grind to a halt if it weren’t for volunteers.

    And you can volunteer/donate when and if it suits,

    This is not a mandatory Iron Tax like some seem to think!
