Sign me up for 113 right now. RIP

Never thought I'd see us put 7 past anyone for a while.

Sad excuse for a post, especially from a moderator You're going to find it near impossible to take the piss back, its now July 17th and you still have no new owner, no manager in place, and a group of demoralized players on inflated wages who are eager to jump ship, and an alleged rumor (from nufc-forum.com) that you're going to go into administration in 9 days (not saying I 100% believe that). Your club is well and truly fucked in total if you think about it. You can sit and "laugh" at us for likely failing to sign Peter Crouch, but what you fail to realise is that at least we have the funds to aim for a player like him now and at least we can get him up to talk to you. Crouch is not a world class player, but he's about 10 times above your level now (not just by his height either). The type of player which about is your level now, is the type of player which we are eager to ship out of our team and move on from. By the time you return to the premiership (that's if you ever do), you will be on the wrong side of a large gulf in quality in comparison to us. That gulf acting on your behalf previously which has been the principal cause of you beating us several times such as the games in 1996, 2006, 2008, etc. Secondly city of sunderland isn't "nothing" as you seem to describe it as, of course its nothing compared to the bright lights of London and the south and isn't exactly amongst the "elite" of cities in the UK, and isn't quite as good as Newcastle (though that isn't the argument). For "nothing in its own right" it will have a world heritage site by 2010, a 7th century building where education and the rebirth of learning in england began. There is also a £180 million agreement in place to build the tallest building in the region which will also be bigger than anything Scotland. A new quality shopping centre will be joining this tower, then there's the Hilton Hotel to be built this year (something newcastle doesn't have for those who claim Gatesheads assets as their own). There's also money from the government into building the tallest bridge in the United Kingdom in Sunderland. Then HM Court services are funding a new court and law complex in the city centre (which was announced today). A nothing city also isn't tied with Washington D.C, Essen, nanjing and Harbin, is it? As for what it currently has, it also has the largest theatre venue in the Northeast, and the only one which can stage west end shows. It has a rapidly improving and expanding modern university, which yet another £75 million campus is almost completed along with new funds to recruit some of the finest software lecturers and professors in the country. Mowbray park was also voted "the best city park in Britain" last year, beating even Hyde park (much to my suprise though). You should also look at the regeneration they done in Sunniside, a new conference centre, an expensive new art and music facility, new apartments and the rejuvanted modern gardens. Plus there's the most important thing of all, a rapidly improving premier league football team Sunderland's economy has increased by 83% from 1995, which is far above the national average growth and is very impressive for a city which only gained status in 1992. Hardly "nothing" is it? Sunderland may be inferior to Newcastle but it isn't nothing in total. Due to a recent city status its never developed as much as the others, but it will eventually overtake them as it's heading in the right direction. Though its no suprise why a player would choose London over Sunderland, I think a player would choose London over any city though in the long run, and if sunderland is so close to this almighty city of "Newcastle" (which bare it in mind claims half of Gatesheads attractions as it's own), why can't the players just all enjoy the mights of this nearby newcastle instead and have no problem moving to Sunderland? FTM

Indeed. Fast Show blows hot and cold for me but I love the news bits. "Nimbo cumulus!" When they shut the whole station down because of one cloud in the sky

Tell you what, he'd be a class WUM. Noel Gallagher, that is.

Is this the lot that are mainly looking for publicity? I've not really been paying full attention since it's so bastarding tedious.

Well, I think the right honourable Joe Kinnear can shove his words up his arse, the silly shithead. On the plus side, this means he'll be sitting on the sofa watching Loose Women for the rest of his days, rather than driving our football team downward again.

MOIDER SHE WROTE

So, Man City are playing 11 strikers?

What time does it start?

In our ranks, we've got Shola and Xisco, man! You could plant them on the bastard line and they'd spaff it.

He suits it.

There was a sequel btw.

Shut up, man, you fucking lemonhead.

Beye's already did one. Beresford nailed on then.

Beye or a mid 90s stalwart. Maybe John Beresford.

aye, from half 6

The man can pull off them hats like. Still looking dapper.

The very same.

I've always thought that meself. But I was out for a beer on Sat with an internet marketing guru who works with big brands like Vodaphone and he was saying that budgets thrown at the web have been growing every year for about 10 years. Because they all want higher speeds to download their porn, obviously. It's all about the smut. Why do you do twitter? No conceivable reason. I signed up to it, followed a few celebrities, then, BAM, addiction. It doesn't give me anything in return, there's no effort involved but I can't stop popping a little non-sequiter in there every other day. And I may not have been 100% serious with the porn thing btw.

Newsflash: The majority of the internet is useless. It's been good for porn and illegal downloads. That's it.

Icehouse - Hey Little Girl 80s guilty pleasures rear their ugly head again. Got The Dead Weather's album downloading and can't wait to hear that.

RawHide in the Gate used to have a night on a Wednesday since a mate of mine used to promote it. No idea if they've still got it.

Pretty sure his eyes are shut.
