Yes/yeah

Quietly brutal from the Beeb

Just about the only positive you can take from today is that the above should be absolutely crystal fucking clear to the owners now.

Tbf to Jones, he’s got exactly what we could have realistically expected out of these two games with these players i.e. a point. A new manager on Monday morning would be very welcome

Gemmilltastic: MATCH THREAD "Well yes this is once again a selection of players by the manager that he believes to be the best for this match." "The players are making the right decision always out there, I assume, because each and every one of them is a better footballer than I." END THREAD

Did my first ever Parkrun today. I can sort of see what all the fuss is about now. Dead canny atmosphere, all the marshalls were great. I shall return. This bloke overtook me pushing his kid in a buggy, and just disappeared into the distance. That shouldn't be allowed, but other than that, a nice morning out.

they're referring to us as isis fc and the beheaders army. I'd be willing to bet I've donated more in the last 12 months to saving the adorable pangolin from extinction (£36) at the hands of the chinese than their entire fan base has donated collectively to amnesty international since its inception 60 years ago, despite their all consuming passion on human rights. you could almost be fooled in to thinking their angst might be more to do with possibility we might have a decent football team in a few years time.

Isn’t this just “political correctness gone mad”? … ie a story in the right wing press designed to outrage middle England but if it is accurate it affects a tiny minority of people? That’s not to diminish the Trans issue in any way but the story is designed to hammer home a certain very narrow point to the easily led ie campuses are chock full of ultra liberal nutters who want to destroy society as we know it. II think back to the ex communist party members who ended up in Blair’s cabinet or in the House of Lords… when these types grow up they may bring a bit of student politics with them but it ends up being very much diluted by the realities of the real world. My niece is at Queens Belfast and is a bit of a pronoun warrior but she remains an utterly charming lass who is still essentially “her” .. I expect. the corporate world may well go fully down this road in the near future when her generation become directors and senior VPs etc, that will be normal for them but there are daft irrelevant “cultural” rules in most workplaces nowadays anyway. The world is changing and there is huge money to be made in the clicks of the outraged it’s basically now the business model of the MSM…

Big Useless Joe who wears number 7. Obviously

Just as well he's had some practice changing nappies recently.

You can just say Joelinton now mate, I've cracked the case.

Whoa, big clue here. I'm on it.

Last 5 minutes has been better. Our possession must be approaching 20% now.

I like Sutton cos the makems hate him.He once dared criticise them.He’s currently 722 on their hate list.

Jones has said all the right things and I don’t generally mind the idea of playing people who trained well in the lead up to the game. Which I think Jones used as the justification for the changes to the side for the last match. But there’s ample evidence for Jones that Krafth is shite and that there’s better options available

Fuck off/twat

So they skipped the butcher's in Sunderland? Fucking Magedia splitarse wankers!

Do you watch or listen to anything you know you like or do you purposefully set out to wind yourself up?

Fucking mental that they've been twatted 5-1 in a third division game. At least they enjoyed those new manager derby wins which will keep them nice and warm on those cold third division nights. 👍

It was nice of Sunderland themselves to honour it though. Fitting tribute tbh, classy club.

they missed a trick by not having Rose Royce - Car Wash playing to accompany that clip

Can someone explain to me how these Man United goals have been “special” Football coverage is absolutely rotten. Even more than ever

Can always count on some subsection of the world to take something valid and almost invalidate the entire thing with total fucking lunacy

Like I’m not wound up enough about our impending, nightmarish struggle against relegation, Sky are STILL trotting Martin Tyler out to ramble on like a lonely pensioner on a bus throughout this game

Still haven't got a clue about the BUJ7 thing

We have also just played Chelsea who have been superb this season and a defeat was expected. But the continuing of playing Krafth and Ritchie and having players like Wilock and Almiron on the bench.

I really do not share Fish optimism. We have an awful run of fixtures. We are fucked if we don't get a competent manager and serious investment in Jan.

Rotherham 4 v 1 SMB

This wanker is commentating on that James goal like it was Zidane in the Champions League final. It was practically an open goal and the bounce was perfect, you quim

It's gonna be mint when we can eventually do to other teams what these bellends have done to us today. Pretty much pointless even turning up for this one.

Some decent fanny in the crowd at the cricket.

Joelinton!

Good post.

Could they not tick the box with someone who's less of a cunt? 😄

There's definitely worse than Clinton Morrison which only highlights how fucking atrocious the likes of Savage and Sutton are.

@Dr Gloom don't get any food in there. You heard it here first ®

Wise choice. Graeme Jones reminds me of a cross between Mr Bean and someone else whom I haven't quite yet figured out.

The magedia was out in force today with a little section on football focus about the Hallowe’en 5-1 derby win from 2010

Please tell us, using the Bristol scale. 👍

Five points in scrabble.

good point that actually. if a pangolin, stilton and brown sauce bap tastes anywhere near as good as their bacon counterparts I'll stop my donations immediately.

ludicrous, isn’t it? It completely misses the point the PL has a higher profile than any other league worldwide, they would just buy Inter and invest the money in the squad rather than buy us as a feeder club, John Terry’s agent probably put the story out there and PIF, like you say, didn’t spend all that money and expend all that time and energy buying a club to then hand over most of the control to the minor shareholders. But hey, their owner is better because he appointed a DoF quickly

The PIF had to spend $1bn to facilitate the £305m Newcastle United deal they worked 18 months to complete. Yep it makes perfect sense that they’ll make a bad job of it now. “Just leave it lads, doesn’t matter”

I can see why people might want to encourage it. I.e. by it being normalised then it means people who are, for example, non-binary, feel comfortable adding their pronouns to their email signature. Making people to do it though?

The mental gymnastics on there at the minute. Everything from John Terry getting appointed means there’s something off with deal, to the Saudis having already moved onto other things, meaning Staveley and the Reubens will be left to run the club disastrously to our going to be a feeder club for inter Milan. All to convince themselves this is a disaster waiting to happen.

They should do a five minute bit on football focus to keep them happy, do it from the local butcher's shop in Sunderland where he's got some some red and white ribbon around a slab of pork with an 'up for the cup' sign over it and let his customers tell us how it's got the whole town buzzing. You know, like they sometimes do with lower league clubs who have a half decent run and years from now they'll point at Billy Marra the butcher and say, 'memba when wa had that brilliant cup run back in 2021? Wa got to the quarta finals before getting beht off West Ham and that cunt Moyes who sent wa down cos he couldn't lick big Sam's bewts. Anyways, the telly came around and filmed in his shop for the game, playace was chocka! Am telling ya, man, wouldn't happen anywhere else, biggest club in leyague one, us.'
