This is for anyone who can't keep on the topic. It's hard not to stray, but if we have 'no specific topic ' we can't go off topic.
It is good just to be able to wander and talk about other things.
I could have named it 'Waffle'. Then I couldn't go off topic.
That is Steve McLaren to a tee. He was in our carriage coming back from London. He certainly was up his own a..e. Steve Gibson is a decent bloke. I once had a long chat with Gareth Southgate on a train to London before he was England manager. No side to Gareth, down to earth.
The thing I like about Carrick is he keeps a level head not like some of those in the Premiership with their historonics. Carrick was well schooled at Wallsend Boys club.
We have so many players out injured (or suspended for gambling).
The big downside with getting into Europe again, we still don't have a big enough squad.
We still have a long way to go. Just so unlucky with injuries.
Love your comments on some of the players.

Hello Gina
Just a quick one - us blokes have been busy talking football and all that other nonsense men talk about - I know ice cream and do-nuts are far more important.
I know you will be up to your neck in Christmas stuff but it's been a couple of weeks and I thought of you and Richard earlier and wondered how you both are getting on? (I do hope everything is OK).
Best wishes - Brian.
