Are the mags quiet at graft today ?


All I've done all day is smile. We've 2 mags in the office (I'm in Leeds) and one of them is decent, the other is a classic middle class mag. Been to about 4 games in his life, but knows everything there is to know about everything football related. He's not said a word to me all day.

The other lad came up and asked me why I'd not come in wearing red and white to take the piss ut of him... "Fair play to you, if we finish above you next season, I don't know if I'll be as magnanimous"

Hes a dick then . Next year wont really matter a toss (unless we completely do them again of course ). We've completely outdone their myth that they can ever put sufficient distance between us to claim lasting supremacy, weve clawed our way back up, filled them in in their own house and took their Europe ( if they'd took the six instead of us they'd be in not us ). So while we can celebrate extending our unbeaten run , one win , one season, is just a blip not genuinely worthy of celebrations for them , other than the relief .
 
Hahahah hammered them all day. They are stereotypical Durham mags too:

Will lose in play off semis

Will lose in the final

Relegated by Christmas

Easy start

Wait till you play us

Wait till AFCON

This won’t last

Wait till you play us (again)

Relegated next season


Oh have they had some hammer
 
Do many of them realise that when they won the Fairs cup in 1969 - the competition was by invitation only. So technically were we the first club from the region who qualified for Europe competition by winning the FA Cup in 1973?

The Fairs cup qualifying criteria included hosting a fair!! (not the hoppings).
It also stipulated that only club per city allowed.
And be a city, obvs.

Hardly surprising that UEFA don’t recognise it today.
