The Batman

I mentioned the old cds and tapes that used to play in our house. There was one compilation of the greatest Christmas songs that mum used to play while we were prepping Christmas Dinner and Rock n Roll Christmas by Gary Glitter was on there. That shows how old the CD was. Actually a good Christmas song. *puts tin hat on*

I watched on YouTube. The BBC will have their text updates. If they don't show it, it'll be ever more suspect.

May have to be redrawn. They initially included man utd as an opponent for villareal (couldn't be an option because they played in group stage together) and arshavin drew them out and they had to select another team. Now it's just been announced that when Atletico Madrid were drawn, they didn't include man utd as an option when they should have done. People calling fix.... Incompetent definitely. Bunch of clowns.

Films, songs, traditions Wack them all on here. Share some ideas that others may want to follow. Could be obvious ones, ie watching its a wonderful life on Christmas eve. Or something obscure, Only You by The Flying Pickets was Christmas number 1 in 1983 and everytime I hear it, always reminded of Christmas growing up because it was on Christmas tapes / cds that used to be played at mum and dad's house.

Sprung to mind straight away. Video of it was so funny at the time.

It's all fun and games until one player has enough and goes full Cantona mode on them when they're approaching them

I rewatched both the the Sunderland till I die series recently. Must be something about being a CEO at a football club that means they have to be so self righteous and full of themselves. Both Martin Bain and Charlie Methven are just awful cringe worthy arses. And to think Ashton is probably worse than both.

It's started to get a bit more common now for some reason. Some knobhead started dressing up in rugby kits and ran on the pitch during national anthems in the recent internationals. Plus it's gathering momentum in football too. Don't get it. What is the point?

I actually quite like Robbie savage as a presenter and commentator. Seems to get a lot of flack because of his wind up merchant days of being a player, but he's very honest in his approach that he had to work harder to maintain his game because he wasn't as technically gifted as other players. Course he's a class of 92 player as well.

Forgive me, didn't write it fully. I meant it from a financial prospective from clubs who can milk Newcastle for all its worth because they know they have so much cash. You're absolutely right regarding all you've noted though. The sheer hypocrisy for them to be even allowed to own a club is a joke.

£100 million for Massengo in January

Newcastle will be great for everyone. Absolute cash cow to milk. Have a player is worth £10 million?? charge Newcastle £15 million if they get in touch. Get a huge mark up if they come calling as everyone knows they have the money. Championship players will want to go there. Premier league players I'm not so sure because its a relegation battle from the off.

A player is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay. He had bad injuries in their Premier league season and with the covid factor, people ain't worth what they would be usually. But I'd agree, that does seem a tad low in my opinion.

Naked gun 2 and a half It's like having sex. It's a painstaking and arduous task that seems to go on and on forever, and just when you think things are going your way, nothing happens.

By sheer coincidence, I'm watching that video now. Gary mentions both us and the rovers around the 5 minute mark. Came on here to let you all know but as this thread is already open and @CheddarReds has linked to the video, may as well just reply as is.

Missed it. What ya saying? ???

The ref had to award a goal. Hopefully this will make players think again when they feign injury and roll around like they've been shot every time the wind changes direction. Get this culture out of football ASAP. Also Simon Thomas was speaking pre game about ramsdale's keeper stats and said he was second only to Mendy. Unfortunately for him, he said Benjamin Mendy and not Edouard Mendy. About time Benjamin Mendy got a mention in the sporting media. They try and ignore it but they won't be able to do it much longer.

Everton in the mid 80's were an immense side. Had it not been for English teams ban on European Cup participation (younger members, ask your dad / uncle / grandad about Heysal) then it's believed by a lot of people that they'd have won it.

I didn't look that far in to it. Chelsea playing them 2 teams with Kepa in goal though ???

They're going down. And I cannot wait. Full of their own self righteousness. Their last 5 games are 2 teams who will be battling relegation with them, 2 teams going for the title, and arsenal who will more than likely be challenging for the 4th CL spot. They'll be lucky to get 2 points out of an available 15. And they won't be safe before those fixtures come around.

I'm hoping it goes down to the last 2 games and all 3 could still win it. Rather than 1 club walking it being miles ahead then it just gets dull. The season Liverpool and man city both got high 90's in points was great because both could still win on the final day. To have another club still win it that late on would be awesome. Watch Chelsea and Liverpool crumble now and man city waltz away with it ??????. African Cup of nations will be a real nightmare for Liverpool losing Salah and mane and Chelsea will lose Mendy. Bar mahrez, can't think of an African player for man city. Plus even if he doesn't play, they have an embarrassment of replacements

Watched it last night. Loved it. Some questionable bits but I'll let it pass. Probably just the way modern movies are going. Watched it in 4dx so had the wind blowing in my face, chairs moving, extra lights etc. Great fun.

Newcastle to bid £100 million for each in January

You're absolutely right LB. Wrote it in a hurry. ? Bad form on my part.

I saw the other day that Eric abidal was being questioned in relation to the attack which I thought was odd. Turns out he's having an affair with the attacker and now his wife has filed for divorce.
