They’ve dug their imaginary ethical hole, now they have to live in it.

Did the Gallowgate Pigeon take that photo?

LTA with the sniper rifle...

I know that 90% of this board probably only have about ten years left to see us win a trophy but for us young 'uns we've plenty of time to wait. Missing out on Europe would be a massive set back in our development and inevitably lead to the breaking up of some of the side.

How is he a hypocrite? Because they imagined he pretended to have opinions they pretend to?

I remember Stewarr Lee likening social media usage to keeping dolphins in concrete tanks; the sound ot their own sonar bouncing back at them sends them mad. It makes me think of mackems online and wonder if the madness on RTG and Twitter manifests in real life? "Heya hinnee why don't yew slip inta summit more comfortabill?" "Ah will, al see yew upstairyaz" "Arrrr Gemma, greeyun and white?! Ah dint kna yew bombed kids lyyke"

a cup is 11

Worse than actual Dracula.

It's going to be a real head scratcher the next time an MLF is pulled in ponteyland airport by a stranger who's dead impressed by the Sunderland badge on their polo shirt but the stranger is a Saudi visiting the region. Does the MLF tell the story with pride how the QPR is dead impressed with Sunderland or does he berate the Saudi who will no doubt avoid eye contact and be well and truly put in his place by the MLF. Imagine?

Adopted a position of morality that 99.9% of them don't share and now have to pretend to hate anyone not acting in favour of it. It's going to make pariahs of their heroes and cultivating special friendships even trickier.

I'd just like to say the board is really hoping to hold on to the services of LTA. But if he has to go then that's just football. (And to be clear we want him here as much as we ever did. But you know that's football or whatever.)

"The proposal originally involved Ryan Fraser but was subsequently improved". Harsh.

Not that bothered. If us, Arsenal and other clubs that were rumored to be in for him kept their distance then there is likely a good reason. Might just be a Villa level player.

winning a cup is 10/10 - despite whatever else happens in the league

I think we have to be realistic when it comes to squad building under the watchful gaze of FFP. We lurched from a bottom half of the Premier League team, to needing a Champions League squad in, what, 18 months? We didn't have a season or two competing in the Europa League where we could have brought in more depth and raised the valuation of our existing stock. Had we ended up 6th, a LB another CB and some young players like Minteh or Kuol/Ashby, we'd have been happy. The demands of Europa League aren't as, well, demanding as they are for the Champions League and the player who we now see as not good enough, would have been fine for the likes of Union Saint-Gilloise or LASK. We could have been confident of progressing with a team comprising of Burn, ASM, Almiron, Longstaff et al. So now, we're trying to dramatically improve the quality and depth of our squad to do well in the planets elite football competition, without breaking FFP rules, without a recent history of the competition and with a squad that's barely deep enough to compete in the Premier League.

aye, the reality is below. wearside amnesty was formed in 1975, nearly half a century ago, hat doffed to them. their facebook page was created in 2009, it has less than 200 followers, their twitter account created 8 years ago has less than a hundred. sunderland supporters don't give a flying fuck about human rights, they're just very good at pretending they do.

Watching PMQs yesterday and they had two Tory MPs asking questions about Farage's account, both prominent Brexiters of course. Was there not one single national or constituency issue they thought was more important than the banking issues of a man never elected to national office? These people up in arms about Coutts' decision to withdraw banking from Farage will almost certainly be the same ones defending a baker's right not to bake a wedding cake for a gay marriage.

Anyone give a fuck if Farage gets to bank with the posh fuckers? No me neither but there’s a woman here who calmly states a few facts to him on this issue and he somewhat loses his shit

Does he have his own app though?

Look at the cunt. Absolute toucher. Wouldn’t even be allowed supervised trips off the nonce wing today, never mind being allowed to run a club like us.

Literally none of this would have happened if we hadn't had a good season just gone. They are fucking mental.

Here we go.

Get the impression he’s annoyed purely because it’s a status thing. I also get the impression there’ll be some sort of crowd funding grift off the back of this. To fund some legal action that won’t take place and won’t be paid back either. Although anyone contributing doesn’t deserve their money back. He’ll shite himself the second there’s any suggestion the bank itself may take legal action over stuff he’s saying / writing about it though. Btw, this was the first thing Jeremy Vive wanted to discuss on his shit show yesterday. Like PL says, nee one gives a shite, but he seems to have called in a few favours to make this some pressing matter which is somehow linked to everyone’s freedom. I’m thinking of not banking with Coutt’s in the future like

All we need now is for Henderson’s butchers in sunderland to start selling halal meat and they’ll go supernova. Ready to Groom seems to think this place is connected to him, but his dad was a copper ( different kind of pork), and the owners of it are called McGill. Usual standards of reality on RTG in action

I'll also be there, can't wait. It'll only be my second time seeing the mighty mags in person. First, a friendly at Hartlepool years ago, where I was treated to the likes of Marveaux, Amalfitano, and chants of "the referee's a seal!" I think the second will be a rather more exciting affair.

He’s only going there to earn the money to buy the club and bankroll them to the Premier League title.

8yr old me had a burning hatred for Gordon fucking Lee that has not dimmed

Yes, in case anyone is wondering.

Good bit of movement if this and Barnes go through in the next few days. That's some of the main priorities addressed.

Livramento, Barnes and Tonali would be outrageous business before we’ve even reached August

Good afternoon Mr. Chappell.

I'm a pretty level guy and never let emotion effect my application to work; I've sacked people I liked and hired people I wasn't very fond of. In 20 years I've swerved ruining this twice - first time was meeting Mike Ashley and second was the cunt above.

I think the reason there isn’t more hype around him is he isn’t a flashy player. Doesn’t have Grealish’s skill on the ball or Saka’s ability to beat his man. Can’t argue with his numbers mind. For all of ASM’s skill, which was a joy to watch when he was on song, his numbers weren’t good enough, simply not comparable to the players listed on that tweet, and his injury record made him expendable

Under Ashley I probably would have been...

So you're okay with relegation so long as we win a cup? >> Safety wink as I know you're not <<

They also told the miners to fuck off when the fascist was their manager. edit: Di Canio, I totally forgot his name.

Whenever I hear of Henderson I immediately think of this: So it's hard for me to imagine him being troubled with sleepless nights pondering over the humanitarian crisis resulting from the Houthi/Saudi rick.

37 page thread on this since the weekend. Marvellous. Mackem fewm and indignation could solve the energy crisis if properly harnessed.

At least they've taken down the shirt, marra.

Ameobi brothers - One out of three lorries will find its target

Now he can't give them any glory by a decade plus proxy he's a cunt as he's crossed into the Mag territory by default so they've boxed themselves in Some were hoping he was going to buy their club when it was worth even less than it is now. I guess two bob and a plastic token from a cornflakes box was a bit of a steep asking price to be fair to Henderson, no wonder he kept his powder dry.

I was about to say the fewm must be absolutely honking over there. It's not 2-3 months ago some of them were convinced he'd be heading back there as player manager

That's a terrible slur on the reputation of Khizanishvili & Sons.

Haven’t you got pics of young adults with speech impediments/mild undiagnosed autism to be pouring over?
