McCarthy seems to playing casino keeping - it’s going to land on “red” in a minute

Just saw 2 of the 3 goals from yesterday- blimey talk about lightening (almost) striking twice Sunderland goalie pretty much getting done symmetrically by being chipped into each top corner.

Have I missed much - had to sort out stuff with my 87 year old Dad to about half time - then 3 year old grandson took over on my time - just seen bits on here that hint at could do much better. Seeing what we signed this summer, there was no danger of me holding my breath. My decision to walk away after 45 years gets easier by the week - yes Wembley was fun last season but we were never convincing the rest of last season. I tip my cap to those of you who go this season.

Bugger! You beat me to him 😢😂

Not a trace of the season opening on FA Player ……………unless I’m being thick.

Wouldn’t be a surprise if that was why we were easily accepting of him being shown the door. He was at the centre of the scrap after the final whistle at Stoke last season, getting a bit silly in the pre season game probably confirmed the clubs concerns with his underlying mentality.

Given Martins perceived stubbornness - we will probably know Ramsdale actually did exactly that, when McCarthy is named in the starting line up for the next game. 😳

Probably because it was 21:45 Even without being pedantic 9:45pm is a crap time to announce quite a newsworthy signing as the presses are rolling, despite these days of social media old habits remain in PR

And the games smeared over 2 weeks - W/c 16th & 23rd September.

His name could be seen as a giveaway spoof name on an April Fools story: Lie-All

Arse

Forest look busy - we just look inert as the penalty box approaches

The merest chance of that is if the heavy rain coincides with high spring tides inundating drains reducing the rate of flow into the sea - Tomorrow the rain looks to be easing from 1pm and high tide is just after 3pm. The only time that a game has been called off due to rain was a night game v Palace Donkeys years ago, for the very reasons above. Also the under pitch drainage pump wasn't connected because the drainage infrastructure out side the ground couldn't cope with the potential volume of water. In a book I have about the building of St Marys from when it was new there was mention that the pump could handle as much as 8" of rain an hour (something you are only likely to see in the tropics). Hood down......anorak off! 🤪

Now it’s going to take £1000 in used notes each for me and @Saint Fan CaM to get us to delete our posts allowing you @Stripey McStripe Shirt to slip back into the shadows having erased all record of this, for the moment, minorfaux-pas 😂 😁😜🤪😇

Stripey is on the hook! 🤪

Going by something I read on the weekend seems that’s over the last season (and the Euros) JWP’esk free kick goals from outside the box are no longer in fashion.

All looked a bit clumsy on both players part and a bit soft.

But then we would have been passing to his shins!

Shit - I read that with a Welsh accent in my head 😳

He was at the centre of Windmills and Handbags away at Stoke last season

Oh! Is it his Birthday?! .......................now where did I put my coat? 🤪

Oops! I think when it was posted in the match thread, I posted it on my Bookface as it was very funny (and stupid by the guy) I also thought the lad in the blue coat was amusing - like I said at the time his mum said “you are not going out to football without your coat!!” Somehow it has embedded itself in my photos - whilst casting of to the cloud something nicer - I scrolled years back and found it to fit this bill.

What - like the one this chap is sporting? I like the chap to his right who’s mum told him to wrap up warm for the match

That measurement was taken at the end of the day after a good evening meal 😁

Oooo that water is a bit exotic! 🤪
