Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

he's one those celeb blades that get wheeled out at big matches, like paul heaton (housemartins & beautiful south) and sean bean (actor)
WOW!!! You actually know who Joe Elliott is!!!!! Man I'm impressed.
Yeah, I know Joe is Sheff utd fan, That is how I know that team. That's acutally one place I want to visit, to see where Def Leppard all started, pay respects to Steve and ....have some fun.
Pigging Crewe Alexandra. They had no need to score a late equaliser against us. Dashed unsporting.
Now I've got to wait another week to confirm our first play-off misery of the new century. To be fair our previous three encounters with this post-season lottery have seen soem unique achievements from the joyously unpredicatable Sunderland:
1987: the only team ever to be relegated on away goals. This was the one season where play-offs involved one team from the higher division. We played Gillingham over two legs, lost 3-2 down there and managed a 4-3 win at home, to go out (and down) on away goals.
1990: the only beaten play-off team to be promoted. After prompting one of the finest sulks ever to be airbrushed from Newcastle United's history by beating them at the fortress of darkness (this doesn't count for most Magpies because it's before the club's official foundation as Kevin Keegan's Newcastle Toon Army United in 1992) we decided not to bother competing a Wembley, losing 1-0 to Swindon. Luckily they'd be engaging in all sorts of financial naughties and were stripped of promotion, leaving us to enjoy the improbably sight of Brian Atkinson as a top-flight footballer.
1999: Still have nightmares. 90 points and not promoted. Putting the ball in the net at Wembley 10 times and not winning. And there are people who argue that Man City and West Ham are unlucky clubs!?!?!?!? Ha! Better PR, but not a clue about misery.
This incoherent rant was brought to you by a man surrounded by happy Hammers and nearing the end of his tether. Play-offs? Evil things. I want to go back to 1956 and start over.
