They're lunatics. No other explanation. They must all be fucking mental, especially the way they keep pedalling this "class" line. There's nowt classy about them or their two bit football club. Never has been, never will be - especially when they're smearing shite all over the toilet walls and smashing up Metro's

Completely forgot about this thread. Absolutely amazing scenes. I'm currently doing at MA at Sunderland's illustrious university and the two exchange students all but refuse to go on nights out in the town, citing the fact it's shite and rough as fuck, but they both absolutely adore Newcastle. No joke, they think it's bloody marvellous. Their Facebook pages are a litany of photos of various parts of the city, along with The Sage and The Baltic. It's not just us, everyone thinks Sunderland is a fucking dive.

Providing we keep hold of Tiote and we sign a left back who doesn't need looking after I think Guthrie's form in the middle has allowed Pardew to seriously think about going down the 433/451 route. Big man in Ba or Shola up top, Maiga/HBA/Jonas/Obertan ( ) all capable of playing alongside either of them in a front three with Cabaye/Tiote/Guthrie/Gosling/Abeid vying for the three places in the middle.

Due to Newcastle for a medical tomorrow according to the Frenchies.

Frank Clark as next manager!?

He can't get his haircut man. If you ever meet him his hair is far farrrrrrr more impressive than Coloccini's. He's like a late 90's Serbian rock star. That's a worryingly accurate description

Happy birthday marra

He was bought as a replacement for Enrique so he is obviously fancied as a left back Much more strong at right back from what I've seen. Played at LB against Blackburn in the cup and had a pretty average game.

Santon is more of a right back than a left back, until he learns English and gets to grips with the physical side of the English game that is. I'm not a huge Raylor fan but he's had some cracking games this season. He's done much more than just score a few goals as some would like you to believe. Today he came up against arguably the best right back in what is almost certainly the best team in the league and he had a rough time. No shame in that, better players will do similar. We need a proper left back, hopefully we'll find one in January, but I'm not calling for the removal of Raylor on the back of this result especially as I think Santon is much better suited to the right.

Europe [and the UK] was far better off before we imported all these assorted spongers from all over the world and had a lower population. Sweet David FYP. Anyway, lets see if we can nail this down. In terms of this elastic band here, how tight are things likely to get? About as tight as an average Post Office band extended over about eight inches.

Lezzers?

If the UK populace didn't have the collective memory of a goldfish people may start actually pulling them up on that.

I'd support an FCUM/AFC Wimbledon scenario. Probably the only instance in which I would go for such a thing.

As someone who doesn't have a stable job and is looking to get a house/get married/start a family over the next half decade I'm pretty worried, particularly as all attempts to solve the problems seem to be based around propping up the system which has caused the mess rather than pursuing any actual change.

Whey! The piss soden plonker is back.

No just us. As I said we're a special case. Why's that then? Typical comment from an Irishman. Why's that I'm guessing it's either you single-handedly saved the world from the Nazis, invented the game of football or just that generally without the British colonising half the world we'd all still be living like cavemen. Or possibly all three. Aye. With the first one being the fundamental one. The Russians did more than us tbf.

I agree with FIFA, bizarrely. It's got nowt to do with respect for or a lack of it, it's just common sense. It's a can of worms not worth opening.

David Rozehnal tore it up against Bolton.

Didn't really seem to give a shit about those poor lads and lasses at Foxconn either.

A better tribute would be to let it die, surely?

When he returned to Apple after his illness he cancelled all of the organisations philanthropic campaigns, didn't donate a cent of his fortune to charity and made my Uni life hell as I tried to get to grips with Apple Macs that did infact do all the bad things that PCs did, therefore Gates > Jobs.

It did make him up like a terminally ill child who told the Make a Wish foundation he wanted to run the line at a Premier League football match.

hahaha highlight of my year to be fair Nar it was lovely meeting the pair of yous, some kids divvint suit beards like but it works well for you, like Rocky when he's training in Russia, your pals seemed nice kids too. Cracking beard. I've got that vest too.

Meeting me on Saturday, radio star on Tuesday. It's been a cracking few days for you so far, like.

Not sure it is like. He never wanted to own the club, he only ever wanted to buy and sell it for a quick buck but the buyer he had lined up pulled out after he had already bought it and he was stuck with it. They’ll still come back and 50,000 do every game. Ashley and his cronies had big plans that a brand like Nike or Apple or Mastercard or Carlsberg would wish to have naming rights over St James Park and it would be X brand @ St James Park. They underestimated marketing directors who do know what they are doing who took into consideration angry and annoyed fans who vented their protests over this idea from the start and 18 months later there is no sponsor. Mike Ashley owns a football club he doesn’t want. No evidence for any of that. Well, we understand he tried to sell it to some middle east group but fucked it up. 50k dont come back every game like. The plan was to get a big name to come in and sponsor the ground but no fucker would touch it. I also agree he doesnt want the club. Didn't Sheikh Mansour go on record at some point to say they were looking to buy us from Ashley but he was asking way to much so they went for Man City from Shinawatra instead? I remember reading some quotes saying they went for us, then Everton, then Man City.
