Just looking at the response over on Bluemoon. In a nutshell: - They weren't arsed at all about the game beforehand. - When teams were announced they were supremely confident that they would win because our lads were mostly shite and their line up very competitive. - First half they were sublime and their players were gods. - Second half their players were all coming back from injury or kids, plus Newcastle were a really dirty team and that mean Joelinton was bullying them. They were now arsed about the game though due to the indignation of losing. - At final whistle, in response to Sky stating things like "famous victory" and "no one gave Newcastle a chance at the outset", there were comments about how they had made 8 changes, how no one should have expected them to win, etc. - Lots of hate on NUFC in general, but I picked out this one just because I think it speaks to a wider point that these fans aren't getting: The reason we are no longer likeable is that we are actually trying to win and compete. I'm sure if we went back to being the sort of side that their second string could put 4 past and call it a day, we'd be back to being a benign, pitiable club that simply wasn't important enough for anyone to have negative feelings around. Now we're kicking these clubs out of competitions, we're suddenly detestable.

This is a piss free zone as the Geordie Boys continue their glorious winning ways. Eddie knows best, onwards and upwards.

That's exactly what Shearer said after Arsenal last year - everybody liked us when we turned up and gave them 3 points without a whimper but now we're competing all of a sudden we're dirty cheats. Fuck them all.

Yeah, I get that and that would be pathetic. They need to plant a new tree I guess. For me it's partly the loss of an icon but more the idiocy of human nature. Found my photo, here is a copy. Taken November 2010, much later than I had remembered.

Yeah? Well maybe afterwards you can tell me how your 'ass-cot served'.

You forgot the honey monster

The thing with the likes of Dummett and Lascelles and the "they're shit" comments, all over the place pre-game, is that the truth is they're not actually shit. To be even involved at this level means they are very good footballers. Absolutely they're not "elite" and compared to elite players they'll not look as good/will be prone to more mistakes, but put very good footballers into a team with good coaching and a solid method/plan and a sprinkling of elite around them and they'll do a job as we saw.

"Make sure our man at the game approaches Don Goodman before kick off, under no circumstances is he to mention Sunderland at all in the Newcastle United v Manchester City game. Any trouble then tell him we'll influence sky to drop him."

If they’re the only ones watching the coverage should be non-stop Newcastle seeing as it’s all the fuckers care about.

Listen, this wasn't an invitation to start one of your terrible pun runs. It's too soon.

I like this new persona for Luke Edwards. The Treequalizer.

Shows a different side to the stealing a living viewpoint. Interview made me a bit emotional ngl

He probably knows enough to be one of the physios 🙂

He's had injury issues and isn't a top end of the PL defender but Dummett's passion and effort for the club has never been questioned, seems like a decent lad, hope he gets to move into coaching here if that's his future.

dummet was a bit more suspect positionally at times but i fucking loved that crunching sliding tackle late on. i've missed the dummet reducer

Agreed. Maybe we've got more central defensive cover than we thought.Man city, even a weakened side, is one hell of a test. 4 clean sheets in a row now, loving it.

Only if it doesn't have any sleepers.

i'm finding getting around California like this is not as successful as I anticipated in terms of meeting new people, law enforcement aside.

Erm...we'd be deep in shite if Schar or Botman got injured. Lascelles and Dummett did very well yesterday, credit to them, but let's not go overboard eh? There's a significant drop in quality between them and our first choice CBs. Even with Burn at CB we've already had a taste of how it can go agianst top sides. Schar and Botman have been world class, they've gone up against the best and come out on top week after week.

Littering too, cunts

Stop the press. We have a new addition. Why aye!

Fair. You can do it yourself 👍🏻

So the teams at the top of the league press more in the opponent's third? This is revelatory stuff.

Lets not collectively suck his cock off one League Cup performance against Man City's second string.

think i got some dirt in my eye

It was a fucking joke Mr Spreadsheet.

Nice to see Sven in the team photo and Eddie always at the back letting the players take the moment. Wilson I hear had to run off early, said something about sorting out a leaky fridge

'You are charged with a heinous offence of a very serious.....' 'cough, cough' '....of a very serious matter and furthermore a sexua......' 'cough, cough, cough' '.....sexual act and.....' 'cough, cough, cough.' '.....I say! Have you tried sucking a fisherman's friend?' 'm'lud, I'm in enough trouble as it is!'

But apart from that, everyone's OK?

Had sort of a perfect day today. More or less got a promotion sorted even though I won’t have to deal with murderers in future which was fun (for me). Later getting told that quite a few officers are sad about it. Got a good but not lenient sentence at a trial even the defendant accepted as just. Beating City with a very good performance in the second half. Opening some nice beer being very happy now.

Just catching up on this thread. Dear lord.

What I thought was interesting about Lascelles and Dummett is that the ball didn’t look like a hot potato at their feet like it usually does. Not as comfortable as Schar or Botman but they were shaping to receive the ball in a better position and were moving it crisper than I’ve ever seen them do it.

What they've done like, not that I have never heard of it

Whichever cunt(s) did it, they knew what they were doing, that's not some random twat with a chainsaw from Lord tool hire.

I like this. When sports science becomes art, looks like some Warholian take on the French tricolour. Merci.

I can answer that one.

Can a train line be woke? Yes it can.

They'll park the bus and we really struggle against teams who do this. I fear the worst. 4-0

SAUSAGE!!!!!!!!!

Tino firmly in Up The Arse Corner there mind.

The list of people they absolutely detest either because of connections to us or some perceived slight of Sunderland is incredible. Apparently Don Goodman has just joined the most hated ranks, apparently for not acknowledging them enough tonight?! Alan Shearer, Jason Tindell, Darren Bent, Jimmy Nail, Sam Fender, Stephen Taylor, Jordan Henderson, Sting, Dawn Thewlis, Ant and/or Dec, Joey Barton, Callum Wilson, Eddie Howe, Brendan Foster, Kevin Keegan, Jimmy Hill..... We hates you!!! We hates you forever!!!!

Sounds like you had a better day than the defendant

I saw a comment saying she looks like Fred off Scooby Doo

I watch the business section when I'm up on early shift, (mainly for the clock on TV so I'm not late!) Anyhow, the amount of similar shit you see on it through the years, why the conservatives think they're a problem is beyond me? The bit I mentioned showed seconds clips of a young, lovely looking lass with make up on lying down on a settee, pulling a blanket over her after putting a mug down and is supposed to represent someone being off work. Sad face from the presenter, this isn't right. Happy smiley face as she describes the super rich buying luxury yachts despite the cost of living crisis. Same with the royals, anything to do with the cunts brings out the huge smile on the presenter's face, I'm sure some could introduce a story on Andrew being found guilty of sodomising a 16 year old and present it in a 'awwww, so cute, he even burst her rusty sheriff's badge. Bless.' way with a gushing smile.
