As an English football fan it is good to see a newly promoted to the EPL club doing well. But why the feck did it have to be Sunderland? I've turned my phone off.

I’m a Newcastle supporter, and Liverpool have always been my “second team”; but I must admit to a feeling of schardenfruede right now.

Cheers.

It's strange how supporters have 'second' teams. My birthright team is Man U. But I like Liverpool except when we are playing them. I was hoarse supporting them in 2005 when they won the European Cup. Hate  Chelsea, Spurs, Millwall and especially Arsenal. Like Everton because they are underdogs to Liverpool. Love Forest because I admired Cloughie so much. Like Sunderland after their FA cup win, hate Newcastle because they sacked Bobby Robson,  but sometimes don't mind them because  their supporters are so damned loyal

. Don't mind West Ham, moons ago they used to play stylish attacking football and won the World,Cup.  Love Leicester after their fairytale season. And truly detest Leeds, Bolton W and Man City. Glasgow Rangers have their own little box in my head full of loathing and bigotry going back hundreds of years.

It's a funny old game.

I watched a match of the day from 1999 the other day, wow !……Manchester United v can’t remember now, Charlton v Blackburn at the valley……just way better, more energy, more aggressive, more physical, proper forwards having battles, proper mid fielder's having battles, defenders actually defending…..proper players all over the show.

Ive genuinely watched about an hour of premier league football this season and just switched it off.

I watched Dorking Wanderers and a team formed by the lads at Bunch Of Amatures who are starting off in step 17 have their first ever friendly pre season, I watched some East Thurrock Utd as well……all of it way more enjoyable that premier league ! 
 

I watched Milan v Juventus yesterday, in that game was Pirlo, Maldini, Seedorf, Ibrahimovich, Inzagi to name but a few……I’m sorry, I know we have rose tinted specs but you just won’t get that game today.

I watched another thing and there was the best comment ever from Mattarazzi I think, he said when asked about Messi and Christiano Ronaldo that “if you add the two of them together you MIGHT get R9 !” 
 

Listening to John sitton talk in the back of his black cab is way better and more insightful than listening to Pep talk bollocks !

Never really had a 2nd team, and to be honest football took 2nd place to dog sports once into my teens (got barred from going on school trips when I quit the sports teams and was often made to spend games lessons walking around the pitch carrying a medicine ball along with the fat and "delicate" kids as a further punishment  ), but if there was a 2nd it would also have been Liverpool. Simply because my mam loved them as her uncle had played for them. Not liked them too much in recent years though.
