I was hoping Newcastle United would win a trophy before the grim reaper comes calling. They have and I couldn't be happier.

How many of the best/most successful managers were top players/captains? Some were but a lot more weren't. Different skill sets involved.

It was already cooked before it was added to the frying pan to be coated in the sauce.

Does Sam Matterface realise that he's not on the radio and he doesn't have to keep talking to avoid dead air?

The buildings at St James Terrace are more of an impediment as they virtually touch the the East Stand.

It was 2 European Cups. Liverpool in 2005 and Man United in 2008. They were also runners-up 4 times between them, Arsenal 2006, Liverpool 2007 and Man United 2009 and 2011.

I've no idea what it's meant to be, nor how it relates to St James' Park, but it's doing its job because lots of people are talking about it.

At least MCFC's spending won trophies. SAFC's won diddly squat.

I did. Len Shackleton received 'under the counter' payments when Sunderland signed him from Newcastle United. The big irony is that Sunderland won nothing during the post-war period when their financial chicanery was at its peak.

Surely, it's 'howay' in Newcastle and 'ha'way' in Sunderland?

I'm watching the N Macedonia vs Scotland game. The studio guests say Scotland's penalty was harshly awarded for handball. Can pundits do their homework on the laws of football? Denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity via a non-deliberate handball is sanctioned by a penalty kick.

They've already managed to persuade us to defer the first payment.

Liverpool had a significant, but not dominant, history until the mid-1970s to 1990.

Arsenal joined the Football League together and played their first league game against each other. Arsenal didn't win anything until 1930 (by which time we had won all of our 4 league titles) and then dominated the decade due to finance. Post war, they had a two decade lean spell until 1970.

Before 1992, Man Utd only had 7 titles (the same as Villa and two fewer than Everton) and none in 26 years. They won 13 of the next 21 so massively overachieved given their previous history.

We don't know what would have happened in any of those seasons. My point is that, in the cup competitions specifically, any of the teams Manchester City beat on the way to the final might have gone on to win the cups in question, not just the teams who lost the final.

Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Pretty much, so you couldn't give Stoke City the title and prize money, in the event of Manchester City being stripped of the prize. There are too many imponderables.

The PL won't decide any punishment. That's the job of the independent panel.

Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Manchester City played Leicester City, Notts County, Aston Villa, Reading, and Manchester United on the way to the final. Who's to say Stoke City would have beaten any of them in the final?

BBC makes/broadcasts 'The Traitors' and 'Strictly Come Dancing'. BBC platforms aforementioned programmes by making them headline items on their news broadcasts. BBC is no longer a serious organisation.

"Newcastle United double down with 2030 title aim in hush-hush meeting at St James' Park," is the headline to a Lee Ryder article in today's Chronicle. Notwithstanding that the article bore little relation to the headline, the 'hush-hush' meeting referred to was attended by several journalists. 🤔
