'The trouble with last night's low attendance was that the Leo moon opposed Saturn in Aquarius, engendering distance between the fans and the stadium of light. We might have experienced this literally through being physically separated from our beloved team. Difficulty in making contact can cause us to feel lonely and unloved. However, we might also experience distance on an emotional level but even though we may struggle to get to the game rest assured we'll still be classy. FTM.' Russell_Granted73MLF Best excuse yet to be fair.

Thing is, despite the claims of how classy they are, and apart from the obviously dire football, honestly, going to the SoL sounds like a fucking nioghtmare. I've been there three times, twice for largely unsuccessful NUFC games (drew, lost iirc) and once when England played Turkey where the place was a racist hell hole. But reading stuff on what happens there on the SMB, and watching STID (including the episode where the camera man was assaulted), you just think why the fuck does anybody want to do this? In contrast nothing like this has ever happened at the hundreds of NUFC matches I have attended home or away (although you do get knackers in the latter). Worst its been at SJP is just a general sense of apathy under Ashley. But even the relegation seasons (i.e. in championship) were pretty brilliant in retrospect and now the place is postively buzzing again, the atomosphere is palpable and its positively joyful. You come away from the match feeling better. I'd say its a pretty unique atmosphere tbh, exceeding anything you'll witness at places like Anfield, Old Trafford, and the Emirates. I reckon this is what really riles the mackems deep down, they know this is true.

Sunderland is an inherently sinful, blasphemous town & is possibly responsible for our late monarchs final resting place, hell. A city has a cathedral, as god ordained. Sunderland "city" has a "minister" only it's not a minister (like York, which is a cathedral) Sunderland minister is a parochial church, they just changed the name a few years after the town won the name raffle. Satanic. Tourism wise.... there's a Glass Factory! Who wouldn't want to see how glass is made, it'll surely inspire kids growing up in a region bereft of industry. Kwik-Fit - actually necessary if you've had to drive round their 1970s death trap roads, although you may be better off abandoning the vehicle and jumping on the nearest metro to a safe space. Gregg's there are several thousand Gregg's in the town. Which is necessary, it's a famous name, even in rascalry and you wouldn't want to risk anything local. The Sunderland Eye Hospital, much like Middlesbrough inspired Blade Runner, the eye hospital inspired various horror movies including the video game franchise Resident Evil. The Airshow - watch the air show from the comfort of Newcastle International with a pint of a coffee OR go mad max and risk crowd violence by going to Sunderland.

Nils fuchs giphern

True, but he's 29yrs old, so he's still probably got 2-3 seasons left. Move to Forest in January, Lead them back up next season as a senior pro. Lovely welcome back at St James', you know the whole applaud his first touch then boo his next, he laughs, we laugh, lovely stuff. Then we put the 5 past him to secure the title.

it’s the club motto

'So fuck.'

She ended the post war concensus, began the dismantling of the state, sold off our assets for the profit of the few and started the transfer of wealth from the workers to the rich. Also her housing policy has lead directly to where we are now She deserves credit for nothing

The Stadium of Light, whose name was later nicked by a time travelling Benfica fan

Well the pensioner should have thought about that before he paid the £30.

MANAGE EXPECTATIONS TONY

Mackems finding out the hard way about the Steve Bruce bounce you get once the fat twat leaves a club. Boing boing you mackem twats. Hope you didn't get too cold.

Beckham gets the £10m Qatar gig, meanwhile...

Cristiano Morgan is seething

It’s funny how poisonous it turns in such a short space of time. If you speak to one of their more sensible fans they’ll tell you this season was about staying up and consolidating. But a sizeable number seem to have the delusions they try to attribute to us. I think the standard of the league is actually doing them a favour. They’re 6 points off third but the same amount off the relegation spots. Can anyone actually remember an occasion where we were chasing an equaliser in an important league game and the ground was practically empty? They might turn up in numbers (paying non-league prices) but they’re nothing like the fan base they think they are.

can't blame them mind, every time I look at helen skelton I don't see the charleston, I see this..

The amount of excuses in that thread, they‘ll then go and say they’re the best fan base around. They’re just a shite, run of the mill, second/third tier football club, nowt special or interesting about the club or it’s fan base. I see they’re also turning on Mowbray , won’t be long until he’s hounded out by the best fan base ever who will be onto their third manager of the season. I just had a look at the other threads and on the first page alone they have threads trashing Mowbray, a one about how they’d never have Alex Neil back as he’s shit and a cunt, and one about how much of a bellend Lee Johnson is. They wonder why they can’t attract anyone with any talent

Lost at home to West Bromwich Albion tonight after being 1-0 up. And it gets better...... "Carlos Corberan's Baggies are a different outfit to the side that won just two of their first 17 matches. The Spaniard lost his first game in charge against Sheffield United at the end of October, but they have now beaten Blackpool, QPR, Stoke and the Black Cats." Four games in a row won by the new wba boss who seems to be doing a bit better than the last pudding. Amazing.

Even with only 4 weeks graft a year, you just know the bloat would take a holiday during training.

Argentina v Morocco as a crowd/fan base spectacle could be one of the great finals

The rapist’s not fit to lace Messi’s boots

I wouldn’t mind Argentina winning the cup just to piss off Ronaldo

Wicket the Wonderdog observing Croatia’s decent start to the semi final..

Smashing it out in Costa 🤣

Now that our bonesaw boys are pals with the Qataris again, I maintain that shipping Stadium 974 over here would do the trick.

What an absolute cunt this pathetic excuse for a human being is.

I've got one where they're flicking their beans. is that ok to post?

You've got me on tenterhooks here.

Had they won last night they'd have been 7th, 3pts off 3rd. Performance metrics have them slap bang in the middle of the league. They're one of the most intense pressing sides in the league. They should be pleased with the obvious progress from League One Play Off winners, to comfortably ensconced in Championship midtable within a season. That's no mean feat. Instead you've got the biggest Sunderland message board genuinely discussing getting rid of the manager. Kind of delewded, don'tcha think?

'I heard there was a rumour going around that the mags, not content with claiming Jill Scott as one of their own were now trying to claim penshaw monument for themselves the desperate kernts. They were going to turn it into a mosque so half the fans on their way to the SoL did an about turn and headed straight for the penshaw monument. The mags got wind of them coming and to nobody's surprise were on their toes before the 80s Roker hardmen got there which proves once again their arses drop when they come against us! Gerrin!!! FTM.' Dangermows. No wonder there was a sparse crowd! 😱

Remember when they used the "wedding season" excuse Meanwhile we've sold out Bournemouth at home in the league cup...IN THE SAME COLD WEATHER

Sportwashed terrorist cunt !! erm.....Marra

It's hard to believe but he was interviewed for the job just before they gave it to Allardyce. The FA also wanted to interview a plucky, young and upcoming manager named Eddie Howe but he refused the interview because he was loyal to his club.

@Monkeys Fist There is enough fucking trouble in the world without you sticking your oar in FFS!

With Bruce's wealth of experience it should be a no brainer him getting it.

Naah you’re ok

< gate open at cunt farm giph >

Yeah but Christmas will be closer by then and you just never know the effect that might have. Plus the WC final two days earlier. I'd be surprised if there's anyone left in the ground by the hour mark.

That explains the low crowd obviously.

I'm fairly confident Howe would reject an approach from the FA at this stage. I wouldn't so there's 'zero chance' of it though. The risk to Southgate continuing in the role is not from the FA, or from an approach from a club, it's from Southgate himself.

no official attendance released by the club, presumably because they're too embarrassed to claim there was thirty odd thousand in there last night. I put their game on for 15 minutes last night before the wife claimed the tele for the strictly results show (I know, I know, shameful) and it looked to me their lower bowl was just over half full. odd really when every mlf in the entire world is a regular match attendee.

Can't see them picking Moeen ahead of Leach, not since Baz and Stokes have been so keen on keeping faith in players. Only if he is injured, I would have thought.
