I've already been told by a lad at work we're playing away first game of the season because the Mackems have specifically asked to play away for their first game of the year as their pitch needs relaying. Obviously by the time their first game comes around it'll be our second so we'll be at home. I was also told we're playing Blackpool away midweek sometime during August/September (exact date was given but I can't remember) so the chances of us going down and smashing the town up is smaller

Twitter has really came into it's own over the past few days. Some fantastic citizen journalism going on right from the heart of the protests and they give out much more information much quicker than either the BBC or Sky do.

It would've been daft so soon after his retirement so i'm not bothered by this 'news'. I say 'news' because there were articles back in 2007 all but confirming the plans had been shelved.

This thread makes no sense

Makes no sense considering Ashley is our main creditor.

Probably shite, but in our current situation Curbs is a better option than Shearer. The longer the takeover drags the more we need a proven manager.

Lad on Skunkers said as much a few days ago.

Company tasked with flogging all our players have been told to stop as two bids are in the offing according to a bloke who works for them.

It always makes me chortle that whenever I read through the SMB and they get accused of being obsessed their retort is always "Nor, there's loads of threads on Newcastle websites about us!" when on any given day you could struggle to find one thread about the Mackems on either here or N-O. Even when their world is falling down such as when Keane left I think there was one solitary thread on either board It makes me laugh that you lot like to think we care and are obsessed with your club, come off it. I know your up shit creek at present and the best comebacks you have are about bringing up the past and what Newcastle nearly achieved, but f*ck me, you the deluded ones if you really think we care about your club over our own. Do you read the SMB? Because in all seriousness, that is the case over there. I can remember when we lost to Partizan nearly all the threads were about us. Which frankly is not reciprocated on Newcastle boards to anywhere near the same extent. You seem like a decent fan who puts his club first, but there definitely seems to be more bitterness on behalf of the mackems than us. The seas of Drogba avatars after the UEFA Cup semi loss too.

We wouldnt look out of place in the top half of the table imo. We have a good manager, a quality stadium, a huge following and if we get the right players in, then like i said earlier, the future is bright. Your club on other hand.................................. The reason your on the back pages as much as you are is becuase of the simple fact that your club is in such a state atm, the majority of stories are mainly about who will take you over, will Shearer be manager and which players will be staying/going. Exiting stuff! if thats anything to be proud of then im happy for you. Your Friendly Mackem mask is slipping mate. You can't say anything we don't already know, all you are doing here is trying to rub our noses in it. It'll end in tears. Shall we do attendances yet? What are you doing here? Please God no. It'll end in a big club argument and they're gayer than Meenzer

Road signs, shop signs, fake bids for the club, 'Premiership parties', t-shirts, wristbands etc. Howay kidda, to say you're not even the slightest bit obsessed flies in the face of everything that has been going on since we went down And to be fair you started the ball rolling with "Look at what we nearly won" posts by saying we'd never came close

I believe we also had the owner of Bayern Munich stood holding an impromptu press conference about how there was no way he was selling Schweinsteiger to Rangers Details!?

I'd take that over Fop any day of the week.

Do you really think that every single Sunderland Fan has an obsession with your beloved club? You've had your fun over the years, now its time for us to mock you. I for one, like many other Sunderland Fans, want to concentrate on our club and what the future holds for us rarther than laugh at your demise. I'll admit, i found this all very funny at the end of the season, but now it is rarther tedious. I would've said no a few weeks back but recent events lead me to believe otherwise.

Begs the question why the obsession with ourselves if the future is so bright. I know we released a few daft magazines when they went down but their recent antics have left me speechless

This is small fry. Didn't Pud and Ritchie get some of their Hitzfeld stuff ran on 5 Live?

No I get it, a board for clueless South Tynesiders/Mackems to talk no holds barred shite, regardless how offensive. As I've said you can tell the type of toon fan someone is by the amount of communication they have with mackems. What are you doing responding to me then? Do you regard yourself as a mackem? Only if i'm trying to wind you up

Methinks Stevie simply doesn't 'get' Skunkers

Fantastic, I want one.

The entire server went down and everything got deleted apparently (Bollocks. Windaz forgot to pay the bills clearly). Probably a good thing as the amount of old pro-Ashley threads the Mackems were bumping was making the place unreadable. It's only came back online a few days ago and they're still getting everything into place. Should be back looking like it's old self in the next day or two. DIAHF. Whats that mean? (D'oh ) Die in a house fire
