Sod them...The kiddy fiddling, smelly smoggie fuckers I hope City destroy them

Watching a documentary about Italia 90 on Youtube...mostly based around 4 July 1990...all of us football fans 30+ know where we were that night, never has man in tears captivated the nation so much...I believe to this day, we would have won the World Cup and got revenge on the fat, Argentinian coke head if we beat the Krauts...But it always was going to be Germanys year, recently reunited with the Wall comimg down.

Liverpool will host Bolton for the FA Cup 4th Round, cant wait

Should be a decent game.

Last time the 2 teams met Bolton won 3-1 so i think it should turn out to be a decent match with Bolton currently on great form!

I like Bolton, got very, very drunk at the Reebok when I was 17, went to see them play Tranmere, great day with great fans

That day at Bolton was great, just had a job interview near Oxford Rd Station in Manchester, and when I came out, I was talking to a couple of lads bk at Oxford Rd, I had decided to goto a football match, a group lads asked me where i was headed to, Man City were at home that day @ Maine Rd, cant remember who else was, but I was thinking about Rochdale, Stockport and Bury or even heading over to Liverpool...The lads said 'No, your coming with us to the Reebok' so I went to Bolton, this group of lads got me so drunk that in the end I was given a lifetime ban from a Pub near Bolton Station after I innocently asked the barmaid 'when she was due' she was very conscious of her weight and was not pregnant, and ended up falling asleep on the train from Manchester to Leeds and ending up in Hull...As I am a nice person and never give anybody grief on the train, it took me back to York as it was running light back to the depot

As for the match, Bolton won I think...

A few years ago when I worked at the Stadium of Light, when Sunderland played Bolton, I saw someone I met at the Reebok that day, after the whole 'where the fuck do I know you from' spiel, he remembered me as the most enthusiastic Geordie not to actually support his team

Obviously covering for the likes of JJ O'Donnell.

Lost count at the number of players Mills has played at left back this season. Wilson hasn't been given much of a chance, but did nowt wrong when he has played. Can't see him sticking around in the summer.

Always rated Magnay - performed well before the turn of the year at Grimsby. Should never have been released.

Yeah, JJ has a problem with his foot, Wilson I feel is a good left back and hasn't been given a chance. As with Magnay, although released he was offered a contract (I'm not sure if I'm meant to say that but who cares) but he rejected it.

Lets not turn this into a 'Marcus knows nowt about football' incident...Was nearly declared when Marcus called Gateshead a School Team

There were all sorts of rumours flying about, but he did say he was told he wasn't in the plans.

I heard rumours of a falling out and there is a clip online of Mills calling Magnay a liar at last seasons presentation and then something about "an inside joke".

It was the same with Luke O'Brien last year, he was never given a chance either.
However, he is now playing part time football, so no idea if something has gone on that was never made public.

Yeah, I heard it from Mags auntie. That is true although that was a joke about the liar thing, when Magnay scored the goal v Chester from 40 years, Mills said it was 35 and Mags was a liar, Mags laughed it off.

Luke O'Brien on the other hand just wasn't interested

Predictions:

Sunderland 1-1 Liverpool
Burnley 2-0 QPR
Chelsea 3-0 Newcastle
Everton 0-3 Man City
Leicester 0-0 Aston Villa
Swansea 2-2 West Ham
West Brom 1-0 Hull
Crystal Palace 1-2 Spurs

Arsenal 2-0 Stoke
Man Utd 2-2 Southampton

The problem being professional at the level Gateshead are at, Players cannot afford to go pro, look at some players in the Northern League, would certainly cut the mustard at Gateshead or Hartlepool, but going semi pro suits them, a regular job and having money thrown at them by local league sugar daddies

Defoe has been linked with Sunderland.

Where is Defoe at the moment, is he still in MLS???

EDIT...Looks like a deal has been done according to the Toronto Star

Toronto FC sells Jermain Defoe to Sunderland

Jozy Altidore may be part of the deal...good hope they can offload that big streak of shite
