Good luck for her op on Monday.
Mine is still in hospital but I managed to get substitute visitors for her this afternoon so I could go to game.
Emotional as we left, tearing up as I saw the team bus go past the stadium as we were walking up from the South Stand, then almost in tears as the goals flowed, putting my head in my hands and thanking my wife for insisting I went to the game because I had looked forward to it so much, with the words of "I will f...... kill you if you don't go". I managed to get to Darlington hospital about 6.50 to see her, where she had perked up a bit, although her infection marker had gone up to 420!!
To sum up today "WOW, WOW F...... WOW" :1980_boogie_down::emoticon-0152-heart

Really hope she's on the mend soon mate and well enough to allow you to follow the Burnley game in peace. :emoticon-0105-wink:

Sorry to mention Shearer again , but he’s now creaming himself about how brilliant Newcastle were today ( in his eyes)

i suppose they did look great today, seeing as they were playing a team that can't strengthen due to PSR (who else is moaning about that), is weeker than the one that finished last season and were down to 10 men for the last 30 minutes or so...

Seriously hope she's home soon

Not sure where to put this, so I'll put it here, that pathetic shower of s**te opinion corner bit on Match of the day about the whole Isak saga has absolutely no place in a show thats supposed to be about the goals of the day, not the behaviour of a footballer at club. The only reason that's happened is because Shearer was on there tonight, no other reason. I found it very cringe watching Wor Alan sat there with his head down all sad while Rooney was dragged into it to give his "opinion". He was going on like some bloke ranting in a club.

It's funny, but I've met a few people (not many, but over half a dozen) who've met or had dealings with Robson Green and say he's actually alright as a bloke. Even admitted he was a tit as he made his name and it went to his head, which is why some people don't like him. Never met him myself, just going off what others have said, so I could be wrong but he doesn't bother me all that much. Ant and Dec however, there's two I'd love to see fed to a pack of starving wolves.

Other than die hard mags I've found it rare to find anyone who has a good word to say about Shearer. Not just his meanness, but his arrogance and condescending attitude that seems to have been there from being a kid. I genuinely think that if he'd not been a footballer, he'd be an unpopular **** house what ever he did.

A couple of people who met green said he was a right prick up his own arse back in the day.
Shearer is top level wánker mind.
Bloke talks some shìt and gets more irritating the older he gets.
Looks like a cross between a sun dried prune and a 90 year old Japanese sniper now.

Rooney and him on motd FFS. It's like jobs for the old boys.
I remember Rooney spitting his dummy out when we did the Mexican wave. <laugh>
Tv licence money to pay them two cùnts and fund peodofiles FFS. I would never pay it :emoticon-0148-yes: <laugh>

Not watched MOTD since we drew 2-2 at Man Utd when we almost scored the goal of the season. Watched game live online, we were great. Watched MOTD 'edit' to see 99% Man U possession only showing us with the ball for our two goals. Absolute joke. **** them

these players new and old were absolutely brilliant but theres no better sight than seeing a player of zhaka's statue and history wearing a sunderland strip, a grin on his his face as big as the width of the wear itself and pumping his arms up into the stands. take a bow the players, staff and everyone whos connected to this beautiful team

And he showed his leadership qualities when, after shaking hands with the WHU players, he stopped at the end of their line to wait and hug every Sunderland player when they reached the end of the line. Also, when we scored the first goal he went straight to Alderete in appreciation of his pass to Mayenda.

I thought about that tonight when I watched it. We had done the poznan when City won the league, he was moaning saying we hadn't had the best of seasons so had nothing to shout about.

Haha, but unfortunately I dont think she will be out by then, which means missing York races and Peter Kay next Saturday, because, when she was in hospital beginning of June, when her infection rate was also over 400, she was in for 15 days. But, in the off chance she does I will work on it <laugh>

Can't sleep... hope the rest of the season is like this, no reason to wake early these days.

I can usually find something in a game to keep us on level ground even after a good win but I cannot find a single thing from this game...it looked to me that the lads 'held back' slightly first half (under orders I reckon) then were allowed more freedom second half and they did it to the letter, RLB and staff could prove to be a tough nut to crack.

Reet ganna try to kip...
