It would be interesting for someone to trawl through Parky's posts and see how many of his mystic predictions he's gotten right. I'm fairly sure he condemned us to relegation with his "We'll finish 7th" shite

Tom shamefully taking Kevin's dodgy ITK for Twitter I'd prefer to keep Routledge at least until the summer in case owt goes wrong on the right but replacing him with SWP is a clear improvement.

Still recovering from the weekend in Liverpool and I'm absolutely shattered beyond compare.

I'm not bothered about finishing above anyone as long as we end up with a decent place in the league. We're not going to get Europe, we were never going to win a cup with a tiny squad and what have Sunderland got to do with our season? The cheek calling nobody in the thread local btw

Best Newcastle manager of all time with his 100% win record Very good news though.

@yourservice has earned the keys to Toontastic with this display.

The Robert Downey Jr. joke is fantastic.

Will spend a fair whack on making his loan deals permanent IMO and could see them signing Onuouha and Welbeck on permanent deals.

Paves the way for Owen obviously.

Anna Calvi - Anna Calvi - Pretty good attempt at a cinematic pop album. Goes into Bond theme territory at times; I thought the Last Shadow Puppets' album success would have meant more of this type of stuff earlier. Probably a better attempt at a homage than that one. Cut Copy - Zonoscope - Doesn't have a song half as good as Hearts on Fire. Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson - Some of the best pop music in history. Shame he ruined his voice singing with Lennon a few years later.

It was "Send The Buggers Back" by Half a Shilling.

Top work.

That's some mong parade on that link he posted btw.

Can we get one of him on the cover of Sgt. Peppers?

Smith was good for about 4 or 5 games but Nolan and Shola's early goals kicked us on IMO. Once Guthrie got in the central midfield as well, he was mint (easy enough when you've got a few seconds to pick a pass out every time you get the ball like) and Carroll and Lovenkrands powered us through the spring. Crediting Smith with a decent hand in galvanising the dressing room seems fair if you read the articles from the time and since but on the pitch, he was fairly inconsequential.

It's the arrogance of some of them that gets to me; for people that regularly get most of their job wrong, it's infuriating. They wonder why they don't get any respect when they speak to some of the players like they're 10 year old.

Kevin Nolan is a hero and I'll have nowt said otherwise.

well, of course i condone sending donkey porn to this kid's e-mail.

I know you don't have schools in Sunderland but come on! ya nar what i ment... iv been on the drink all day mann Google Translate says; "As a 15 yr old father of six, a basic education was not my priority.Today I blame my illiteracy on licking empty cider bottles in celebration of the greatest day of my life ." canny funny... however the greatest day of my life (after the birth of my daughter) was when Richardson aka the mag destroyer scored that belter What a absolute woodenhead. One goal does not a team destroyer make. I suggest you check up Shola the Mackem Slayer's record.

They might well finish above us this season but us shipping 6 past the "Best Sunderland team in recent memory" in our first season fucking grates so much, it's a delight to see. We've got a point for every Kevin Nolan chicken dance in these two games.

"best mackem team in 30 years" can only take one point off our little newly promoted one. Shame.

Too rights, high five. I used to live just off Coatsie Road and that had FIVE chip shops, a Nisa AND the Toon Army Barber Shop. Back of the net. Slumming it with the jews? Live two mins from there tbh, just up near the Leisure Centre. The other way, next to Windmill Hills. Been a year or something since I moved now like but it was handy to basically be in walking distance of Newcastle. I remember us talking about the finer points of takeaways along your end before

To steer this back on track, any ones in particular you recommend? Probably not to a group of 21 year olds on the piss to be honest. The Albert dock has already been mentioned and might suit you, if it's purely to be on the piss then the Mathew street area will be best. I used to like the pubs around the Hope street area though - The Pilgrim, The Crack, Casablancas and the like. You really should try the Philharmonic as well, it's canny spectacular. Not sure how many places I used to go to will still be there but see what you can find. I remember Liverpool had a lot of odd clubs which you had to know about even to find - you'd need to ring a doorbell to get in - the Blue Angel club was a case in point. We're not really a group that's going to want clubs and all that, we like a quiet one in a good pub as well so I'll remember Hope Street, cheers.
