Can you afford £10 a month? Can you give up the scratch cards for a couple of days? If so the MLFs of Sunderland would like you to donate to a truly worthy cause. Last week a heinous crime was committed when Sunderland played at Preston. A local cenotaph commemorating the war dead was desecrated by mindless graffiti lauding Sunderland and slandering their rivals Newcastle United. Whilst we have no proof at all, similarly to the Athletic Bilbao founding mackem myth, we have have it on no authority that the fans responsible were obviously Mags. Unfortunately in today's climate we have a magedia who occasionally require some sort of evidence to verify an accusation. That's where you, the greatest supporters in the world come in. For just £10 a month, or more if you can afford it, we, the MLFs of Sunderland can hire a private investigator to try and pin the blame on the Mags as it must be one of them that did it. A further £20 will provide the PI with a bribe to plant evidence. Please, for the sake of our well earned reputation of classiness, think about making a donation today. Thank you. FTM.

As bad as sky are, BT just go one step beyond like madness but not as likeable.

"Yes. Well the report started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle & the less said about the end the better! But apart from that, excellent!"

Apparently they doorstepped Howe on NUFC's heinous crimes......

Why couldn't BT have just put their usual serie a commentators, presenters and pundits on instead of the fucking tedious PL/CL ear pollution arseholes like Fletcher, McManaman, Ferdinand etc? It got so bad halfway through I couldn't even get angry anymore and just softly said 'stop talking' in the general direction of the TV. Sad.

Of course it was a rogue Black Op special forces Mag. I mean, what else could it be?

Well? What you waiting for? Show and tell, show and tell FFS.

Muted till second half KO.

A good game to watch being polluted by the noise from Darren Fletcher and Steve McManaman.

"Vodka calling Coke. Vodka calling Coke. Come in Coke." "This is Coke calling Vodka. Did you get the ticket? Over." "Vodka calling Coke. Affirmative. Got it outside the Labour Club. Over." "Did you see any good families? Over." "I saw loads of them. It was the family enclosure. Over " "Get out of there, Coke. It's too dangerous. That is an order. Over" "Not a chance. Over and out."

How conned must Ancelotti have been when he took that Everton job and how long into it must it have took before he started working out his exit?

Inclined to agree however just before the manhandling began his face told a picture that he was pretty pleased with himself. Nobody comes out of that smelling of roses very much including him. I'd fucking love to know how people like him get in especially in that part of the ground.

It's a bit sad really, getting a tattoo of a 5% owner of your football club in a bid to try and stay a bit of a minor local celebrity, obviously the likes of the Ronny Gill and BBC Newcastle have sadness and desperation ingrained into their institutions so no surprise they've put him on as it's another days content sorted early doors before trying to forget they've another day just around the corner to try and get some 'news', any shit, to keep themselves in a job.

I was about five rows down from the altercation in the family. I think the trouble was he celebrated, people got pissed off but he then doubled down on it, although by the time it kicked off my view was partially obscured. The wife's cousin had his young'un and was closer so moved down the stairs to get him out the way as his bairn and others were upset. According to him the lad is a well known knacker from North Shields, I don't know who's right about him being a decent lad or a knacker, UM or the wife's cousin but in a volatile atmosphere he should've realised he was fucked celebrating or even put his hand up, it might've helped, steward was clearly out of his depth and knew little about anything, possibly even English. The lad must've seen where he was, (family enc) and should've really have took the hint. Bad crack all round tbh and yes, I've celebrated in an away end and was perfectly fine but it was in a more sparsely attended stand at a half full goodison. I wouldn't have done it had it been chocka and in a high tension match.

'black spot'

Sunderland getting into the playoffs undoubtedly the second best thing to happen to them this whole weekend, fair play.

They've had loads of golden prospects going back to Kieran Brady who's now on BBC radio Newcastle. A Scottish/Irish? Golden boy from the early 90s who tore it up in thirty odd games over four years before getting his dream move to Doncaster.

That Luke O'Nien for the mackems, fair play to the lad, played a really good part in the banshees of inisherin......

We'll take this shit out on Leeds, 100%.

I spent my honeymoon there unaware of the gay and Deutsch bit until I saw two German lads playfully splashing each other WITH WATER..... WITH WATER ok? and I remember remarking to wor lass 'Hold my Hands, Hans' in an authentic 1960s WWII film German accent. We loved it.

It was a top 3 PL clash. It isn't really for you. That game had a bit of everything really, a very sympathetic VAR which we simply don't have, it's amazingly flexible where it always has a get out of jail card when it wants, decides to look at stuff when it wants and vice versa and always has an subjective view when it wants and.....sacre bleu!...... usually goes the way of the club who'll have a manager and a compliant media crying holy hell if they have a lip on so timid refs keep themselves on the right side of the huff. Refs, we're fucked. However, we really need to put some of those chances away, even more so when we know there's a VAR intervention/non intervention around the corner. Hopefully it's a lesson learned and Man U getting beat despite another VAR non intervention in their favour means we breathe again. I'm also hoping there's a realisation in the NUFC hierarchy and a growing sense of injustice which urges them on ever further to fuck these all off. We're definitely playing with one hand tied behind our backs.

I managed to avoid it all easily enough but it obviously involves not watching the news or putting BBC on. In the days of catch up TV and iPlayers it's a bit easier to do or you just go out somewhere. The only downside is somehow I've managed to get mild sunburn on my sexy personal solar panel.

I'm not as confident in this one as I was for Man U and Spurs games for obvious reasons as they're a better side but saying that they're also worried about coming here with added pressure on them. I reckon the pressure might have slightly eased as they must know deep down it's probably over. No sloppy passes, everyone tracking, everyone finding the extra gear as we'll need it. It's a great opportunity to take a massive stride forward and also put a marker down that we're not that bad a side as well. This'll be my last match of the season attending and I've been to most of the homes, as long as we're undefeated for that I'll be happy in retrospect however I'll be plastering the walls with my own personal whitewash if we win.

His nose is too near his arse.
