  1. A win against the cheats means nothing though really. We are the scalp worth having
  2. Jack Charlton, the former Leeds and England defender who won a World Cup winner’s medal in 1966, has died. He was 85. Charlton had been diagnosed with lymphoma in the last year and was also battling dementia. He spent his entire 21-year playing career at Leeds, making a joint club record 773 appearances, before retiring as a player in 1973 and going on to enjoy a successful and colourful career as a manager. One of English football’s most popular and larger-than-life characters, he had spells in charge of Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough, Newcastle and the Republic of Ireland, who he guided to their first major finals at Euro 88 and two more in the space of 10 years. A family statement read: “Jack died peacefully on Friday, July 10 at the age of 85. He was at home in Northumberland, with his family by his side. “As well as a friend to many, he was a much-adored husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Charlton won the 1968-69 league title with Leeds, the FA Cup in 1972, the League Cup in 1968 and two UEFA Cups, in 1968 and 1971. His golden moment as a player came at Wembley in 1966 when he and brother Bobby were team-mates in England’s World Cup win against West Germany after extra time. Charlton did not win his first England cap until he was 29, in 1965, and played his 35th and final match for his country in the 1970 World Cup finals in Mexico in a group game against Czechoslovakia. A towering, uncompromising centre-half, he won the Football Writers’ Association’s Footballer of the Year award in 1967. He announced his retirement as a player aged 38 soon after missing out on Leeds’ 1973 FA Cup final defeat to Sunderland through injury and was made an OBE the year after for his services to football.

  4. Remove the zeros from the start of your member number (if it added any) that was what fixed it for me. Then over an hour waiting only for the page to freeze once I was in and confirming details. The ticket office fucks up everything it touches.
  5. There will be boos at half time at Woodison...... oh wait.
  6. Liverpool have now won 30 of their 34 Premier League games this season (drawn two, lost two); this is the fastest any side has ever reached 30 wins in a season in the history of the English Football League. THIS is how you do firsts. (and the ref is still a twat)
  7. Stupid Tyler going on about a birthday goal for Big Virg, he's not fucking 6.
  8. I'd like to see Tyler have a drought for 5 months the cunt
  9. Give me a double something, someone just showed me a pic of old madonna in her knickers and I need to clear the taste of the vomit from my mouth.
  10. I'm starting to think we could win this league.
  11. If I wasn't already being refunded for this match I'd be thinking I should be.
  12. The title was won, we can't drop more points than city already have. In that respect the game mean't fuck all really. We won the games we had to win, when it really mattered. The next game is more important as apparently there's a only a short break between this season and next and I'd like us to not drift into bad form. The season was about 38 games total and not one game. They can have a win every season at their place if we can win the league, fuck it they can even have 5 goals while we carry off the Premiership if that makes them happy.
  13. They can parade their 3 worthless points we will parade the Premiership title.
  14. Potato headed fuckwit. Forget about our fan tribal feelings, most actual teams of players have respect for fellow professionals. There is a long tradition of applauding the champions like this, just mostly not this early with 7 games to go. We didn't win the league so that other teams had to give us a guard of honour, and I believe it will happen at ALL of our remaining games. We won it because we are the best team in the league. Get clapping you fucking losers.
