I've seen you make that comment so many times now that I'm fairly convinced it's never going to change...

I'm gonna take the hint and avoid it now all the same I keep getting wrong off HMHM for my vocabulary...I still remember that time I (ultimately as a result of brainwashing by Sky, I would argue) referred to Man Utd as 'United'. I think of that every time I have to write their name Fully deserved the criticism in fairness.

So you think saying 'I love the way you lot all carry on' would be less deserving of that picture above than the word banter. We'll have to agree to disagree on that one

Yeah I couldn't think of a better word for it though...is there one?

I love the banter on here Possibly more so than usual because I'm drunk.

I wish it was an exaggeration...

The problem though, even if you like all that stuff, is that none of it is worth actually fucking going to Sunderland for. If the airshow was in Newcastle, I'd go watch it. But since it's in Sunderland, and the place is such a dump, I just think it's not worth it. I remember going to Durham across one of the bank holidays over the summer last year with a friend from overseas, thinking I'd show him the Cathedral and all the stone paved streets etc, and it was full to the brim of drunken mackems in full Sunderland kits, screeching at each other and aggressively feeling themselves up. He thought I'd taken him to fucking Mordor. It made me really grateful to live in Newcastle, despite some of the more run down areas.

Don't start on that again...

I genuinely think we're utterly meaningless to him, but I just can't fathom the business rationale for what he's doing. Unless he's still just trying to make the best of his failed dream.

where the hell did this come from? Am I missing the hidden relevance of this post? Don't change Essemmbee, don't change.

I'm starting to wonder what the end game could possibly be though. Even though it's good news that the club is making a profit, £19m, even if we managed it each season, isn't enough to ever go anywhere. Might be enough to stay where we are I guess. So if he's not making any money out of it, he's not paying off the loan, and the club isn't making enough profit to really challenge (in the way Arsenal do), what is the point for Ashley? Just advertising? Mental lengths to go through for advertising...

We used to have Michael Owen as well, tbf. Can't get much worse than that in the boring stakes.

Is that the Fish going in there? He's southern isn't he?

God that's pathetic. I have no massively strong feelings about Sunderland, they've always been too shit to consider proper rivals, but you have to despair at the people who support them.

Oh good grief, England scored. Cue another bout of media frenzy over our chances in the Euros...

How in hell did you even find that...

Dweeb! Upon thinking about it, I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually use it seriously I think that's why he gets credit from me. It was a bold insult.

What the fuck is going on with planes at the moment. Were they always dropping out of the sky like this? Is the press now reporting on these where it previously didn't? Terrible news...

He'll be claiming credit for that and all

See also Januzaj at Man Utd. I think all clubs do this... except maybe clubs like Stoke.

Also, I don't think 'dweeb' gets used enough.

Awesome comeback.

10 as well... not exactly got a head for this stuff!

I love how he's thrown in that the government 'need to look at that'. Thanks Pards, I'm sure they'll pay attention now. That aside, I think his point is that we should be charged more for watching the games. Cos y'know, they were all such good entertainment.
