I got to thinking after the Newcastle result, some Geordies are probably quite miffed that they beat us, on the basis that a big win for us could possibly have got Bruce sacked. This would inevitably have led to jubilation on Tyneside. It brought to mind the day Boro whacked us 3-0 in the cup...

Merry Christmas you lovely Blue People. My lovely wife treated me to a copy of 'A Grand Old Team To Report', written by David Prentice, for Christmas. I'm only up to chapter four but I have to say that so far, it's a great read with lots of interesting insights that cover all things Everton...

I've just read in the media that this season will be the first time in 25 years that Arsenal have finished outside the top six. Wow! That's quite a statistic, especially when you throw in all the trophies over those years. And yet.... Their fans moan and bitch more than kopites! But this got me...

How refreshing to see that we aren't one of 'the hateful eight' referred to in the media, who ganged up to stick the boot in on Citeh. These are the clubs who wrote to CAS in March to demand that Citeh be excluded immediately from European football. Rs (obviously), red mancs (obviously)...

It was coming sooner or later and now it's happened. Maybe not quite how we expected but the financial bubble of English football has well and truly burst. For how many years have we said the following; - players are paid far too much: - transfer fees are at a ridiculous level: - it costs far...

Sky have just quoted a statistic about the geordies versus 'The Big Six'. Presumably, Leicester and Sheffield United are part of this elite group now since the mancs can't string two wins together and Arsenal are currently a very flattering 11th place. Or do you retain your status as one of the...

To paraphrase the song, 'When you think they've embarrassed themselves all they can, they embarrass themselves a little bit more." So the rs U23s coach (forgive me if I can't be arsed checking his name) has said that Klopp doesn't need to be there tomorrow; the team will still "feel his...

How is it that two days after the mancs played each other, the media are still bleating on about 'aeroplane gestures' being made by some City fans,yet when their lovable neighbours were encouraging the world to 'feed the scousers' only a matter of weeks ago, there was hardly a mention of it...

Has anybody noticed that Sky Sports News has a much more professional feel to it today? No Jeff Stirling, Pinocchio, Nicholas or Merson and instead we have an altogether calmer, and more likeable set of presenters. Julian Warren is streets ahead of Stirling in every conceivable way. Such a shame...

I was trying to think of something witty to say but sod it! Does anybody else think the international break is a great chance to enjoy Leagues One and Two for a change? I love watching football but England et al do absolutely nothing for me, with or without any of our lads playing. Any thoughts...

What a great touch for Forest to celebrate their fantastic manager who passed away 15 years ago on 20 September. A round of applause on 15 minutes, fans wearing his iconic green jumper, Cloughie's image on the screen. What a great way to celebrate such a great man. Howard Kendall Day anybody???

Has anybody studied how much Premier League football is in London this Sunday? Four games, at Palace, Arsenal, Wham and Chelsea with visitors from Wolves and Villa; the mancs and the rs. I know London is a big place but this sounds like a recipe for trouble with so many fans of near rivals...

Everton that! I can't believe we've done this to Watford again. Shame on you Moshiri.

Does anybody else find it absolutely hilarious that the commentators on Sky will apologise for any bad language shouted by a random old bloke at the back of the stand, yet make no mention of several thousand fans singing 'F VAR' or 'your support is [really bad]'? It would make a pleasant change...

I'll be the first to say that I've always thought of the Community Shield as a big game. I'm saying this in advance of today's game because if the rs win, then of course it's a massive game in their opinion. If they lose, obviously it's a nothing game in their eyes. I was at Wembley in 1984 when...

Anybody who hates biased journalism and who remembers that football started well before 1992 should look away now. The above guide contains; 1. In the first item, the lovable Jamie Redknapp shares a full page on how his beloved rs 'can take the extra step this time'. Is this mediaspeak for "it's...

The plight of Bolton Wanderers is pretty well known by now. Massive debts, uncertainty about a takeover, and only a handful of players on the books, eight days before the start of their season. It seems that Bury are in a real mess and, if the media are to be believed, may not even start the...

I guess most of us have kopite friends and neighbours and I guess some of us, like me, enjoying whistling 'Z Cars' and singing 'Grand Old Team' whenever they're in the vicinity. Today, my 20 year old kopite neighbour named Oslo got locked out of his house. Did I laugh? Did I point and laugh? No...

Here's a wonderful poem that I found online that I thought was well worth sharing on here with my Blue friends. Moderators, feel free to move it if you think there's a more appropriate place for it. Lift you head please no more tears, And think of all those happy years. I'm in a place that I'm...

As a lifelong Blue, I don't mind admitting that I am envious of Spurs and the rs being in the Champions League final. I don't mind admitting that I'm also envious of Arsenal and Chelsea in the Europa League final, despite the whingeing about choice of venue. And despite the attitude of some...
