Aye, in the first half Matterface and McCoist were going on and on about the atmosphere and it sounded quiet as fuck on the telly. I think it's just ITV being incapable of getting the levels right.

Look at the state of the absolute youth club the players have to gather in before they take the field.

Joelinton doesn't look like a man that'll be starting the second half. Job half done. Sunderland so far looking a shadow of the team that would have beaten Milan, PSG, and finished comfortably mid table in the PL this season.

Get in! Bet he wishes he got sent off now :lol: Stupid cunt.

I'm not happy about the lack of VAR today. The PL refs have got used to not making decisions on field.

Must be some sort of rule that mackem keepers have to be ugly and wear short sleeves.

Red bin bags.

The mackems waving tramps Christmas wrapping paper.

That On The Beach advert is 100% what CT and his lot are like in an airport lounge.

Aye, proper fucking drip.

We're doing Idols here, my lass is in a bikini.

ITV starting their coverage with Stokoe's spooky statue.

The colours are always too bright on ITV. I think they get their settings from American Football coverage.

I'll be fucking gutted if they get rid of Howe. It would be a terrible decision. You can't on the one hand talk about how far ahead of schedule we are, but then refuse to accept some backward steps. He just needs time - the CL has completely fucked our season as anyone with a brain could have predicted it would.

I tried that one. Still fucked! Might cycle back through the ones I've tried in case one of them is better than this. The scrolling on the Samsung browser is bizarre.

Aye I think I'm sorted Tom, cheers. The Samsung browser is fucking doggaz, so I'll only be using it for this place but it seems to be holding up.

Just downloaded the Samsung browser and it seems to work fine. This is the best thing that will happen to Toontastic this year, bar none.

When it fucked on my old Samsung, it was the same thing happening (phone crashes, same error messages), but a move to Firefox sorted it. Moving to Firefox hasn't sorted it this time. The odd thing is that when I first got this new phone, I used the transfer utility to get everything from my Samsung across to here, and this place was fine on Firefox. But transferring from a Samsung to a Pixel brought other problems, so I did a full reset over the Christmas, and that's completely borked this place. There must have been something transferred across in my Samsung settings that allowed this place to run ok, but that's fucked now.

Congratulations to Isegrim for achieving the worst xG against in Premier League history.

I can only imagine the fucking crowing you've been doing in your local and your fucking cul-de-sac since the takeover. There's probably no one in the north east for whom this match has bigger consequences in terms of pisstaking.

I took a break from here over the Christmas, but since I signed back in yesterday it's now completely unusable on my phone (Pixel 8 ) - it actually crashes my phone, not just the browser, and it's embedded tweets that are the cause. If there's none the page loads ok, if there's one or two it takes an age to load, and if there's lots, the touchscreen becomes unresponsive, the screen goes black and I get a load of error messages. I've tried browsers other than chrome too - all fucked. This is the only place that's causing it - I'm on my laptop atm. So basically, you're all gonna have to find a new hero to worship cos the G-Man is peace-ing out, except for the VERY rare occasions when I'm on my laptop or tablet. The alternative is that you all club together and buy me an iphone, which tbf you might all actually want to do.

Didn't they want shot of Mowbray though? And today they're chanting his name?! Or am I just wrong about that?

I just watched Quiz Lady and enjoyed it. Sandra Oh, Awkwafina, Will Ferrell. A good bit of amusing fluff. Worth it for the drug scene alone.

Aye. We all said at the end of last season that getting into the CL was class but it was likely to fuck our chances of doing it again this season. We literally had the season we had last year because we had a game a week for most of the season. If knobs on twitter think Howe should be sacked for not getting CL next season, they can fuck off.

Don't speak with your mouth full. And yes, I'd like to qualify for any European competition this season. And I'd like (and back) us to be better equipped to cope with it next season.
