Happy birthday, MF.

Also, I didn't know Owen Jones had joined Celtic?

This is comfortably the worst Celtic home shirt I've ever seen. If we do get Adidas back at some point they're going to have to up their game! They've given juventus some stinkers as well.

Their first choice was another lass who was getting already getting some money from a BBC presenter and said she 'wasn't that desperate'.

On the plus side, I'm hearing their game up here has been downgraded to a B game so it's not all bad.

Alex wondering to say where he is in case MF is on holiday there at the minute as well.

Let's hope he gets the odd Evertonian nibble.

"For those who are still unaware, although Nike are Sunderland’s current kit supplier – the partnership is managed by its local affiliate Just Sport Group, based in Spennymoor. The deal which began in 2020 has now been renewed until summer 2027. Basically, we aren’t considered important enough to have a direct relationship with Nike, and as such have a deal where we order our kits from their teamwear range and then a modestly sized factory unit in County Durham stick on the Sunderland badges and send them up the A19. When they arrive and their lack of availability, however, is the BIG problem here." https://rokerreport.sbnation.com/2023/7/6/23785504/just-not-good-enough-sunderland-need-to-catch-up-off-the-pitch-with-whats-going-on-on-it How am I just finding this out?

Tbh we can't really have a superior to them when it comes to supply issues. I was in the silver link the other day, waiting for my daughters, thought I'd have a look at our new shirt. JD didn't have it in so I went to sports direct to have a look and the only shirts they had were kids sizes. I've heard of people who ordered one online on the day they came out have been refunded by castore as they can't get them out to them. A shitty Ashley legacy we're stuck with for a couple of years yet. Nice shirt, shame about the shit wedge we're getting despite being a CL club.

No chance. Probably have an injunction put out.

Fuck me, is this shit still going? It's needs to stop Reich now, tbh.

Skating on thin ice here, mind.

I think they learned the hard way from when one of the players a few years ago, Ferguson I think it was, went through a traumatic experience when he was put up in digs in Boldon iirc? Everything's checked these days.

Pack your job in immediately and take up teaching. It's a similar response I say to (usually) Sun reading people I work with who lap up the 'benefits scroungers' 50" plasma TV, free everything patter fed to them via Tory propaganda. It's funny that the same people are worried about being made redundant and the future they face? It should be a blessing, go on the dole and live the life of Reilly, that's what happens isn't it?

Raytch. (I think).

Hurley mainly played for them in the 2nd Division and of the years he played with them in the top flight the highest they finished was 15th. From Wikipedia: 'Hurley's Sunderland career had a disastrous start; a 7–0 rout by Blackpool, coupled with him scoring an own goal on his debut, which was quickly followed by a 6–0 defeat by Burnley.' 'That's Sunderland, that is.' Aye, for their standards I can 100% see how he was their 'player of the century'.

Just did a quick image search on Bonucci's and she looks fucking mental. (Semi lob on mental).

I haven't read it for a while, deliberately, as I don't want to overdo it. Not reading anything new at the minute so when I'm finished my current book I'll get back on it.

I'd guess Raich Carter might be their greatest ever but there's going to be next to nobody who saw him play that's alive now.
