I keep dropping in with little snippets of Sunderland til I die, On with the second series. I get there was a "Meh, so f**k" attitude with some of the staff behind the scenes, that Irish woman just didn't seem on board, but for Chaz to be threatening the staff with basically "If we don't get this, it's your jobs" was a disgrace. They bought something they couldn't afford, then treated everyone like **** because of the pressure they put their selves under because they "Rolled the dice".

Red letter day for me today, decided to retire early and did my last shift yesterday.
Was going to wait til my 74th birthday in March but thought I'd start early and have the winter off.
Feet up for now as the missus works out my list of things to do around the house
You've done more than your bit mate. Enjoy.
Things would have been so different if the scouts had managed to attract their main target from the whiteboard - Zlatan
I always find it strange how often that gets overlooked. We had scouts being paid by the club to suggest names like Zlatan when we were in the Championship. They should never get a job in football again.
That was daft that like.lol and that lad they didn't like because he had gloves on..lol
Sorry it has taken so long to come back mate. Joe bloody fell the day after his birthday and was in hospital for a few days. I havent had a chance to speak to him this week. He must be getting better though as he was back to normal with his breakfast this morning, Toast, porridge and then sausage, bacon and poached eggs. Yes he can pouch haha.
Why does everyone think it valuable to do a post Fergie era. As if the fergie era is now irrelevant. It is the same as saying the premier league era. Are we to to just forget the days before the premier league, or before Fergie retired. Now, Fergies best v recent Man City best - that is a debate worth having...
The greatest of all breakfasts, particularly if it is a bread crust.Lucky bugger, I have marmite on toast
Bit posh that mate
might have to try it. Crumpets and marmite is the poshest I have been - magic they are as well
Marmite, I'm firmly in the "hate it" camp....really can't stand the stuff.
I love it but I can't say I've ever considered it for breakfast, bit strong for that time of day.
Love a crumpet, but you can stick your marmite thanks, lashings of proper butter is the business.Bit posh that mate
Within minutes of Liverpool being awarded Eurovision, hotel prices doubled for when it’s on. Can anyone explain the economics of “ high demand - prices have to increase” .
So , if I have 10 units per week for sale at £100 each and each week 10 people turn up to buy them ( = me very happy , profit and business succeeding nicely) - if for some reason I expect a one off situation that next week 15 people will be asking , why do I “ have to” say they are now £200. It’s not costing me more to produce / provide them , I could just say first come first served - so apart from pure greed profiteering because customers have no alternative, are there reasons I don’t understand?

Well said Gelders the hospitality industry have been whingeing since covid was invented and take every opportunity to fleece their customers, have you actually seen the cost of bar food these days and £9 for a pudding over here has become the norm.
They all know they have a captive audience for a couple of nights when this abomination is on in their city, and are putting the prices up accordingly, not taking account of those customers who just might need a hotel in Liverpool that same weekend and aren't remotely interested in Eurovision.
Greedy bastards are what they are.

over six and a half thousand migrant workers have died since the world cup was awarded to Qatar. But yeah talksport, you go and enjoy your "Arabian nights" coverage in your so we'll made up dramatic advert. Colin Murray walked away when the Sun bought into talksport because he had morals. All of these pundits and presenters that were outraged are now in the camp of "well its happening anyway so let's go". As for David Beckham, that propaganda advert is cringeworthy.
