Got our best people trying to work out who made Lebedev a Lord.

I didn't single out this season I meant in general. He seems to be rotating in hope more than anything else as we just don't look like the same side as the last few years.

It's always more tiring chasing the ball, perhaps passing and letting the ball down some of the work might've helped our cause? Some players are looking older and some of the new ones are leaving a bit to be desired.

I can look at Street views of my grandparents old street in Belfast and like parts of Newcastle you can see the decline if you're old enough to recall what it used to look like, decline doesn't happen overnight but it absolutely happens and even creeps into former jewel in the crown streets.

It was absolutely jumping at the time. No way could I have imagined that being the scene 30 odd years later.

I used to go clubbing in one of those photos and did a YTS induction in the other.

I once had a bloke from New Orleans introduce himself and to tell me he was Irish, I told him that was nice and my mam is Irish as well before he asked me where Ireland was? I then grabbed a beer mat, drew a rough map showing where Newcastle, Dublin, Belfast, London and Edinburgh were. 😁

I have insistent mates, they insist on round drinking and it does save you going to the bar every drink I suppose?

I find the opposite is the case. When a person is heading towards an empty pint the next in the round gets them in even if they've got a full pint themselves. Awful etiquette letting someone wait with an empty glass, it might happen in some parts of Eng but not my part of it, (there'd be hell on!)

Coins are banned? 😁 Jesus, how do they get away with this stuff in this day and age?
