I used to be crypto skeptic, but everything changed when I met @Beatrixabner an expert trader who showed me the exactly how it works . I'm excited to share that I've just received my 4th payout of £60,000 which was credited directly to my bank account in just two hours!

@71Season Agreed 😆

@71Season 😆 aye. That would be their number one, Maradona second obvs 🙄

@71Season Rubbish. Archie Gemmill!!

@rstainbank @MitchHalley @daveinupton @LukeONien @lucyjward_ Fact.

@MitchHalley @daveinupton @LukeONien @lucyjward_ If he was “painfully average” that would still put him several steps above the current Sheffield United team.

To any young kid reading this… I’ve doubted myself in every league I’ve ever played in. Ryman Prem. Conference South. League Two. League One. Championship… And even right before my first Premier League start last night. That’s not weakness. That’s being human. That’s being alive. When I was growing up, I thought Premier League players were superhuman. Like they never felt doubt. Like they never felt nerves. The truth is…. it’s often the opposite. Social media won’t tell you that sometimes you step out there with no confidence. That’s normal. That’s ok! You now have to then step out there with courage. Confidence feels good. Courage doesn’t. But you do it anyway. Show courage enough times…. You build confidence. Here’s the mindset that’s carried me for 31 years. When it goes well: I worked for it. I earned it. Well done. Watch it back. Get better. When it doesn’t: I know I prepared the best I could. It didn’t go exactly to plan. That’s football. But Well done. Watch it back. Get better. That simple recipe gave me a special moment last night. Leading the team out. Playing alongside a group that fights for every ball. Celebrates tackles. Gives everything for the city of Sunderland. And sharing it with supporters who never gave up, even after four tough seasons in League One. So if you’re a young player feeling doubt… Low confidence… Or like you don’t believe in yourself… You’re not alone. Every player feels it. Confidence isn’t something you’re given. It’s something you build. Bit by bit. Day by day. With courage. With work. With learning. Anything worth building takes time. But that’s what makes it so worthwhile! Thank you @SunderlandAFC ❤️🤍

Still the tears 🗡️ 😭 😆

@JaysonBoocker Haha, step away from the Bostik you absolute weapon.

@andycrane64 Still fitted now. Also put into permanent mode with an override device (tiny piece of card wedged into the edge of the switch)

Just had to explain to a Gen Z what this is/was for … 💡

#OnThisDay in 1992 Sunderland beat West Ham 3-2 at Upton Park in the FA Cup 5th round replay At 2-2 Tony Norman pulled off this wonder save from Tim Breacker David Rush went on to score the winner for the Black Cats, but Norman's save was the highlight of the match

@WhufcMason @80s90sfootball Luckily we could buy Bovril at Roker that had a half life of 2 months 🔥

@80s90sfootball The away first game was the coldest I've ever been in a football ground in England. That north sea wind was lethal at the old Roker Park. Only Steaua Bucharest in 99 was colder.

@stevemagness 2. Is so true 😂 I’m currently going through this after sickness. I seem to be trying to run to fast and can’t judge “easy” 🤷🏻‍♂️

What I've noticed from being out of shape after a long injury: 1. My mind is ready to quit at the first hint of pain 2. I can't judge paces accurately 3. My breathing is out of sync All normal. A reminder that the mental side detrains as well as physical.

@BarrieEditor1 Happy Birthday Barrie. Have a great day 🎂

It’s balloon day! This was me at a family gathering yesterday. Roy has just popped in to say hello! 😁

@DrSnowdon I don’t think of it as padding, and I think it’s necessary to have feel for the era. Otherwise it’s mostly match reports. My first game was as in 1977, but my second was West Ham in 1978. So it was nice to read the details of the game, and of course I know who scored both for us.

@garydon19 Very pleasing to receive your feedback. Many others (and I) also appreciate related popular culture material thrown into the mix (despite one Amazon reviewer regarding it as 'padding'). Extent can vary between projects, depending on subject and period. This one deserved it!

The 'difficult third album' completed. (April 2025 release @PitchPublishing). Crank the late-70s' retro up to 11 (inc. Blondie and Gerry Rafferty on the stereo, the aroma of Panini stickers, & cascading Lion Bars). #Sunderland #SAFC #NorthEast #FootballBooks #AFistfulofDoldrums

@j_ashworth656 Just seen this on Facebook Jimmy. Hope you’re well

@TheStingisBack Watched a Hitchcock film last night that I’d not seen before. Torn Curtain. Not one of AH better ones in my opinion, and not much of a character for PN to play. I guess it was a decent payday.

@6WattsPerKg Absolute prick you mate.

Elite athlete with atrocious diet, or organs exhausted from a lifetime of PEDs?

@Nufc2Everything Presumably it’s the same tactics that won you a trophy and got you in the CL?

SACK HIM NOW. HOWE OUT. THATS ENOUGH NOW. ABSOLUTELY DONE WITH STALE OUT OF DATE FOUND OUT TACTICS. FUCK OFF WITH TINDALL THANKS FOR COMING. WASTE OF SPACE #NUFC

@DrSnowdon Will get this soon David, as ‘77 was my first game and 1978-79 was when my obsession took hold, so right up my street. Just working my way through my backlog of books to read first.
