Nevermind, found it http://picosong.com/3eSJ/

Dont you guys have a song or chant which goes something like 'coulda been born a mackem'. I think somebody posted it on here some years back.

Not fair, Williamson has been providing his fair share of excitement at the back over the last two games.

Man the wall! Winter is coming!

Thats my point, they both did much better than they were expected to.

A bit similar to our Hughton sacking this...

Benetiz lined up apparently Mental, truly mental. Btw how long before someone here suggests Di Matteo as Pards' replacement?

And the likes of Willo who perhaps doesnt intentionally move out of position but is so shite at being where he is supposed to be

Liven up lad! That is a seriously pessimistic view. Nufc being Nufc we will undoubtedly have our ups and downs again but to there's a long way to go and all is not lost. 2 bad homes games ffs

He hasnt played well. Tiote hasnt. Colo hasnt. Cisse hasnt. We are going through a very poor patch as team where our shape and tactics need a bit of sorting out. But to say you arent bothered by one of our best players being out? He's basically our engine room ffs. I'd want all the above mentioned players in and around the starting eleven whether they are playing well or not. Because they are proven quality, and will hit form sooner or later.

I am well aware of that theory. However, having spent nearly 7M on the likes of Anita, Im sure a few quid would have been available for a defender too. Maybe Pards was just hoping for another injury free season from Colo.

If this is what mackems are like I salute you guys for bearing with them. Im kind of having a mental image where there's something like the wall from Game of Thrones separating Sunderland from the rest of England and Newcastle walking the top of the wall. Black and white and all Charged with keeping the great unwashed from corrupting the rest of the country by constantly keeping them in their shadow and watching them obsess with it

Thats what pisses me off about Williamson as much as his league 2 standard defending. Same goes for Simpson. Shame we saw this weakness a long while back but our management just couldnt.

Aye! Might have something to do with the fact half of them are very uncomfortable on the ball so dont want anything to do with it. Always thought that people who enjoy having the ball and have the capability of holding onto it are priceless.

3? Shola? No no no no no no we are not putting him in the Ba/Cisse category!!

I get that but nobody wants a public bashing episode anyway. Pards has generally been quite objective in interviews for us which shows he believes our players are not so weak mentally so as to collapse over a bit of honesty from their manager. When we havent played well he's been man enough to admit so. So to see him start making excuses left right and centre now is a bit unsettling. Oh well, much ado about nothing anyway.

The way refs hand out cards these days....

Really pissed at Pardew's interview. As expected, blamed everything on luck and injuries and Senegal. Pathetic. Yes it wasnt a great week for us, but that is to be expected at this level. All these things are. There are rubbish tactics and some rubbish players that need sorting. Get your thick head out of Ashley's arse for a while and realise there's a bit of a job to be done here.

Santon? Please, he's been class on the whole after taking a couple of games to settle in. Haha, class! We'll at least she's seen the worst now, future visits can only get better. Must be quite a feeling, walking out there for the first time. Going to do it someday too, dont know when or how, but I'll bloody do it!!

Nice to know there was something good about today.

Dont know what that exactly means but I did acknowledge I ought not react THAT badly. Just feeling like shite thats all If Pardew blames injuries etc again he can fuck right off. Because its him and the management that decided not to strengthen in the summer knowing full well we have some league 1 standard players in the squad.

Shocking. Just shocking. Can't believe this is the same team from last season. Noone apart from Ba and HBA deserves to be called a footballer on the basis of the last 2 games. And Williamson and Simpson are fookin liabilties. Bloody takes me back to Boumsong/ Cacapa/Babayaro. And we're playing the sort of football we did in those days too. Just abysmal stuff. Shocking. Guess we were wrong to get excited after last season. Nothing really good ever happens to us. I know I ought not to feel this down but I am!! Fook this.
