PFA Young Player of the Year nominees: Liam Delap, Morgan Rogers and Ethan Nwaneri among nominees - BBC Sport Quite how they've not included Livramento in there is staggering.

Spurs got there first.

Didn't realise you were rich.

The Magpie's 'nest'. The upstairs flat was the 'boardroom' for a meeting in May 1892 between the directors of Newcastle East End and the recently folded Newcastle West End where the decision was made for East End to move to West End's ground at St James' Park with the idea of attracting West End's fan base too. Essentially the birth place of the club we know today.

Anyone being donated his brain would need a fucking refund.

It was marginally less incendiary than referring to them as 'nappy rippers' which was common place in the late 80s. Went down like a cup of cold sick.

Someone pointed out the other day that Pickford has never played for Everton against Sunderland. Wonder how that'll go down when they play them.

I remember getting the bus back from Boro and those cunts lobbing a breeze block off a bridge over the A19 and it going through the rear window.

Yeah I know, i did get where you were going with it, it's just fucking insane from them, but to be expected

I live in (or around) Reading, but I don't masquerade as one of their fans on Twitter directing hatred towards Sunderland.

All the Villa stuff is just a front? Bizarre behaviour.

TheVillaWatch on twitter btw. Firmly in the top 10 of odious cunts on there is cock-a-hoop about the opening day fixture. Seems to be part Villa / part Mackem. What an affliction.

Going back to this it's just 'another game' and the fact we think that will blow their mind. We play Liverpool away just after champions league game 8. Again, it's just 'another game'. They really do think they're THAT important to us, don't they? If they were we'd have our own version of the Parsnip board where we scurry away anything we don't want them to read we've put. The very fact this place is open to them to read at their leisure proves we really don't care ... they're just 'another team'.

I used to work with a Phil Reah.

They remind me of Spurs in many ways. It's gone under the radar largely but Levy coming out and saying that 'Postecoglou winning the Europa League wasn't enough, they want the Premier League title' is fucking scandalous. Understand your position your utter fucktards. Sunderland are just the same.

Gemmill in canine form.

Wait for their meltdown if we manage to get ourselves back to Wembley to defend the Carabao Cup. Apparently the home derby will have to shift

28 mins after their release we've done nothing but complain about when we play them have we? Not a single peep, man. Rent free in their heads

13th December - away 21st March - home

Followed by Liverpool at home!

Villa away first up.

I think the primary difference is Joelinton walks the tightrope in respect of opposition players. Joao Pedro seems to do so with his own team-mates. But I agree, big Joe will knock him into shape fairly quickly.
