Not sure if it's been posted on here, I couldn't find it doing a quick search, but if anyone is interested he's the guest on under the cosh this week


 

He can't remember anything.

Originally thought Santos snapped Johnson because Johnson had broken D'Jaffo's cheek?!?!

Said the WBA game was Santos' first game back from injury... it wasn't, it was March and he'd been playing all season (injury was in the previous March).

Said Bruce left for Palace or Birmingham. He didn't, he left for Huddersfield, then went to Wigan before Palace.

He never was the brightest player, evidence suggests that. Can't give any stories any credibility when basics like this are incorrect.
 
There's a story which I think is true about a girl who goes to a hairdresser and they get talking as hairdressers do.
Hairdresser " what you been up to lately"?
Girl " Got a new boyfriend"
Hairdresser " that's great - what's he like?"
Girl " He's a footballer"
Hairdresser " wow that's amazing, my boyfriends a footballer too - what team does he play for ?"
Girl " He plays for Sheffield United"
Hairdresser " That's a coincidence - so does my boyfriend - they must know each other - what's his name?"
Girl " Michael Tonge"
Hairdresser " WTF is happening here bitch ?" He's my boyfriend !!!!!!!!!!!"

So thats why he now has a diffrent colour for his tash , goat and head they took revenge and made him look a cunt .
 
Back when Tonge played for us a friend of mine (who wasn't a football fan, and had no idea who Tonge was) was on a driving lesson and got pranged from behind by Tonge's car. His then girlfriend was driving, and for some reason that's since escaped me (this was 15 odd years ago!), she shouldn't have been.

Said friend (who was a bit of a pot head) was accompanied to hospital by Mr and Mrs Tonge (nothing serious: just whiplash). To put this delicately: he suddenly found himself in the very fortunate position of having a very healthy bank balance, certainly enough to mean he didn't go short of pot during his recovery phase, or indeed, for the foreseeable future.

You sure the 'hairdresser' wasn't a beautician and nail specialist?

Asking for a friend ...

They said he was a future England international. Never came close. Thick as fuck bless him.

Fucking lovely feller outside of football. Big hearted and kind, not big headed (despite the jokes) at all.

Shame he went to Stoke. I think even he bitterly regretted that because it effectively finished his career.

Always treasured for those two strikes v the bindippers and that free kick against the pigs.

Agree. That move to Stoke finished him.

Pretty much what he said in the podcast. Blackwell wanted him stay but you know who wanted to move him on.

12 appearances in 4 years at Stoke during the prime of his career. Pulis just signed Tonge to make up the squad numbers.

He lost so much playing time before he ended up at Leeds but by that time he was the wrong side of 30.

Pulis admitted on 5 Live, in an interview with him and Blackwell that he spoke directly to KM on deadline day to get the deal done.

Tonge at one point looked like he was going to play top 4 football. His dribbling ability early in his career was sensational. Then, all of a sudden, it wasn't. Almost overnight he became a solid, slightly dull Championship player.

Definitely should always be remembered fondly by United fans though 👍
 
Not quite sure about the artists ideas of Jagielka with a pony tail. The same hair do as Alan Kelly.
And Brian Deane the same height as Dane Whitehouse 😀

my memory is probally being too harsh from what I remember. he had a 1 great season in 2002/03 then sort of lived off it for the rest, to the point we were glad stoke took him off our hands

Aye Sabella, who was part of an historically terrible United side before he fucked off to Leeds where he didn't do much.

Jagielka's achievements actually at United were on a par with Tonge's although of course he achieved much more afterwards.
