I look forward to the thread on smb "Mag at work hid my cup"

STILL the mackemslayer

Have you been in Sports Direct?

Another failed gamble, Mike.

Was a cup in the canteen at work today with a, frankly horrifying, drawing of a bloke in a Sunderland strip with a raisin for a head that said "Sunderland's Biggest Nut!" or something like that. I thought "What a poor bastard" before promptly hiding it.

love how brillo tells the labour guy to pipe down when he's in full flow

Yeah but that was largely down to the fact they had a good manager. A certain 'Simon Grayson' if memory serves.

Tooner, your girls took a hell of a beating...

I was listening to Any Questions last week where Daniel Hannan made the claim that Scotland exports more salmon to Taiwan than any single EU country, and this was the reason we should cut our ties with the EU to we can trade globally. Two things about this. First, I looked up the data and it's a blatant lie. In fact, Scotland exports close to ten times the volume of salmon to France compared with Taiwan. Naturally, the claim was unchallenged though. But secondly, it didn't occur to any of the other guests to point out the fucking obvious that if we are already trading successfully in salmon with Taiwan in the EU, that is evidence that we don't need to be outside the EU to do it. I mean howay, this is elementary logic yet the media just let this shit go through without ever challenging the Brexit narrative. It is quite surreal.

I'd just like someone to tell me that we want to sell A, B and C to X, Y and Z but we can't because of EU barriers. This will make up for the shortfall in GDP growth after Brexit. But I haven't seen anyone in politics or the media able to do that.

I shouldn't laugh but

Anyway Charlotte, you lazy bint. Does this mean you're going to be even more of a whingeing bitch than usual? And I guess you've now got an excuse to stuff your piggy-face with cake. I've heard that manc-mag fancies you - fancy asking him if he wants to change a few nappies cos it'll ruin my manicure? You can fuck right off you orange-faced freak! Who needs your poncy diets? Just cos u run around a field chasing a ball doesn't mean u should have to keep looking at a fucking calorie chart! Probably not urs anyway - hope not, it might come out half normal!

Seems like another owner who's lost interest and/or can't afford to keep shelling out money. But until recently they've always been a poorly supported club who've spent most of their time in the lower reaches of the Football League. As an aside, the FA Cup at the weekend made me think of Coventry and how far they've fallen. When they went out of the Premier League in the early 2000s they'd been a top flight side for decades (30-odd years) with good attendance figures too. Just shows what can happen.
