He’s so staggeringly bad man. Legitimately lost the dressing room 7 games in, this is about the third time he’s made a pretty unveiled dig at the players calling them shit or lazy, why does he think that would turn things around? He’s also now claiming he has a tactical framework he wants to implement after calling tactics nonsense on maybe four different occasions. I’m firmly in the camp that I hope we go down, I see it as the only hope we have Ashley might lose interest and be forced into a sale (as unrealistic as some may see that I feel there is zero chance at all he sells when we are in the PL), so I’m actually at the point where I just find this funny tbh. The whole choice of employing this total fucking idiot was a fuck up of staggering proportions, and watching it blow up in the faces of the tight, bullying, bullish, arrogant arsehole that owns us, and watching arrogant ‘I know far more than you idiots’ journo types like Luke Edwards backpedaling after giving it the “he needs a chance” to everyone that knew for a fact this appointment was going to be bad, is at least providing some entertainment at the expense of people who are largely to blame for making OUR football club the fucking laughing stock it has become (and aye I’m including pandering journalist that have shielded and made excuses for Ashley and his cronies in that blame).

I've had the worst physical pain in my life this last 8 days or so and it's been horrendous, (getting better now). Anyway as bad as it was it was still funnier than most of your posts. I think most on here know you're probably a decent enough lad so you kind of get a free pass because maybe your humour gets lost in transatlantic translation. I suppose this is more for the Man U kid in case he thinks you're a Geordie/UK/Ire NUFC fan. (Sorry, mate but it's dire crack).

Steve Bruce July " I will certainly be my own man, I always have." October "They’ve played a certain way and that certain way has been drilled into them (by Benitez),’ said Bruce. ‘We have to start with that again. If that’s the way they play, I understand that, that’s what we’ll do." He's his own man but will now use the previous managers way of playing. What a dickhead

Thanks all for the replies. Some great responses and enjoyed reading your favourite memories despite how miserable things are now. I understand the negativity on the takeover front. Football's supposed to be something to cheer you up from the miserable moments of daily life so to have that apathy sucks. Hope you all somehow get rid of Ashley and have something to smile about again.

despite reading the articles it's possible to stop at 'i quickly worked out' to realise that what will follow will be a pile of steaming bullshit. the man isn't capable of rapid thought, he's as thick as fucking pig shit. between them ashley, charnley and barnes (with bishop piping up in the background about good 'geordie'' pr) decided it would be a good idea to jetison benitez and fork out £4m to buy this simple, fat cunt. it's beyond tragic man. the sooner this club burns down, the sooner we can start rebuilding what was nufc. hope we get fucking hammered tomorrow.

If anyone wants cheering up, RTG is in full on crisis mode after their loss to Lincoln City, and subsequent goading by the Lincoln fans. Apparently Lincoln were non league a couple of years back and this represents the ultimate nadir for Sunderland. Until the next one.

Bet it goes down a storm in the Fortnite chat.

The British public is largely made up of swathes of England who have, (with honourable exceptions), in my life done nothing but put hideous conservative governments into power bar the Blair years. Hard to be trusting of the little England cunts to do the right thing.

Rory Stewart was interviewed on the beeb this morning he alluded to attending serious meetings- cabinet level - where he said the ministers were completely incompetent. No knowledge of their subject matter, treating serious national issues as if they were a joke, etc. This is hardly surprising but still really quite alarming hearing it from the horse's mouth (pun not intended). He made the point that party politics is finished in this country. Hard to disagree. If I lived in London he would get my vote with that pitch.

These offsides

Keeps on like this and the Wallsend Buffs will be able to afford a heated beer garden.

Give him a chance

Shocked Liverpool getting a pretty soft penalty to win a game they had no momentum in. Spawniest team in football.

Look out, the moose fucker is off his meds again. There will be no Albert to chip the keeper unfortunately. 0 - Absolute dry humping

We're just some kind of forum booty call when he's drunk

Sympathies for your long struggle without a trophy.

Can't be arsed to answer the questions but thanks for using the Manchester in your name and the United in ours.

Their plan was to flip it after promotion last year. It failed. Pretty sure they've already cut costs as much as they can. Even with all that there's more going out than in unless there's been a recent development I've missed as they've been off the radar a bit?

Phil Jones to stride forward with the ball in the 83rd minute and dink it over Dubravka to add the fifth.

He's a joke as well a useless cunt. Says to all and sundry he knew what he was coming into then twists like fuck the minute it (very quickly) goes tits up. I FOR ONE NEVER SEEN THIS SHIT COMING!!!

He's beyond redemption tbf. Which is a canny effort after 7 games. Even Steve Mclaren came out with better soundbites than this

What takeover? The cunt isn't selling unless a lunatic gives him the asking price AND let's him keep all of the benefits he already gets for his other businesses at NUFC's expense. N/A Looked immense last season when he broke through and I remember Gazza breaking through. (Different players but the impact was similar-ish). However that'se getting carried away a bit and Sean got fucked and has missed a bit of football with a bad injury. It hasn't helped making his comeback in the shambles at the minute and he's struggled a bit by the early standards he set. Understandable. A pure gimmick by a desperate 'board' and a desperate manager who knows he has a job because he's expected to do as he's told. 1992-93 season overall or possibly the season after where we finished 3rd the PL after promotion. Haven't time to go into it but if you're my age, 46, it shouldn't need saying. Dire beforehand, Keegan was the pied piper, amazing football, feel good factor, terraces, great away days, young and on the piss. Happy days. Three? You could well be in for another 26 year stretch pre-1992 when it comes to winning the league but as like then I'm sure whoever captains you will still get their hands on the odd trophy. Your consolation is our fantasy. Said from day one we're fucked and nothing has suggested I'm wrong. The club is fucked anyway while the parasite is sucking us so can't say I'm as arsed as I normally would be. Couldn't give a shiny shite. 0-3

He is the official liaison to other clubs though tbf

Here's a thing. Ken Clarke was regarded as an utter cunt in the 1980s and 90s. So was Hesltine etc. Has he changed, or has the entire political spectrum been dragged so far to the right he is now regarded as some wishy washy moderate, almost some Ghandi type figure? It's the latter of course. This is objectively very worrying.

This reminds me of every large organisation I've worked for. Each department working to a policy which always ends up as: "IT WASN'T US IT WAS THEM!" Workplace blame culture infecting democracy. I blame Bill gates and his fuckin spreadsheets for modern day management practices. What a cunt.

Btw I guarantee he is now using the phrase Get Brexit Done. He'll have felt like Johnson was talking directly to him during his speech, looking around the room at his wife like "are you hearing this? This man GETS me. Britain CAN rule the waves again. We just need to GET BREXIT DONE."

Also, when I'm here, I watched the second series of Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing and found it equal parts hilarious, touching and genuinely moving. A beautiful depiction of genuine friendship, stripped of all pretence, filled with warmth and affection throughout. Bob Mortimer pretty much done me in at two separate points; the gifts given to Paul with the express instruction to not touch either until he dies, with the implicit intonation that he is very much aware of his mortality cutting through like a knife and that, coupled with his description of the "eureka" moment of depression hit me harder than I honestly expected it to. As someone struggling with persistent thoughts of meaninglessness, depression and existential anxiety, seeing these raw, candid slices of emotion from him and how he places so much emphasis on the small things made me feel a lot better. Life is not what we do, it's the meaning we attach to things throughout our shared experiences with people we love and we all have something, even when we think have nothing. There's no punchline to this, I just have to get this out.

I've got a question for you. How about shut the fuck up, eh?! Oh hi, I'm an admin from Man City, I'm an admin from Chelsea, I'm an admin from Liverpool...and what do you think think the final score will be? Fuck off!
