I love it when people are just straight to the point and ask the itk’s outright if the know anything.
Could have been bollocks I suppose but it was a good story. I spent hours outside trying to do it myself...
Hes married to Lawrie Barratt's daughter and owns several mansions in Northumberland including this. I think it's safe to say the rumour hes looking at houses today in the north east is complete bollox
I heard similar stories from my old man. And that would have been some trick with a heavy ball, possibly sodden and with external toe caps on his boots!
**** it, I've had a ****e day, I'm going to assume good news is going to break tonight or tomorrow, so the whiskey is open and I'm getting pissed. Haway the lads, don't let me down.
My old man told me the same as well. Another one was where he would dribble for a bit, stop, hitch his shorts up, slick his hair back with both hands, pretend to look at his watch and set off again. The opposition wouldn’t go near him in case he made a fool of them!
Or for another Birmingham connection, Garry Monk. Apologies if already mentioned, CBA to catch up on posts.
I wonder how the actual takeover is going. Talk has completely shifted to manager and others roles. Clearly sorting these roles is an indication that all is fine on takeover front but is it now signed and sealed pending announcement? Edit - including EFL checks?
According to my old man Shack used to do that regular, he also said he’s the only one he ever saw score from a throw in he took without another Sunderland player touching the ball
