Howay

Very good appointment tbh, odd length to the deal but still happy with this.

There was a bloke a few year ago who stripped off and started legging it down the stairs obviously intending to streak but the stewards caught him at the bottom of the stairs

I really hope so because otherwise this is a bad move, our squads already paper thin as it is and fair enough he's not the best but he doesn't mess up spectacularly either which is decent for back up.

Plus it means he's relegated back down to championship level lasses nee more of the fanny prem level attracts

Canny player a few year ago but has been off form for a long time, also like what's already been said he's a total heed the baal. It's the type of player we used to buy hoping we could recapture their past form, not worth it imo like.

if that is not made up then it is a fukin disgrace he might not even leave yet Quality you mackems like. So if it is made up, it's not so much of a disgrace????

I must admit I wasn't too worried about the FA cup this season either, I would absolutely love to win it don't get me wrong but like you say this season was all about survival for us and with the paper thin squad we have extra games wouldn't do us much good. If we strengthen and add some depth to the team for next season then I'll be devastated if we get put out in similar circumstance, but like you say if we go down this season we start looking like a possible yo-yo club type or even worse doing what's happened to boro. edit. Aye Alex you're right they played in the 1st and 2nd rounds of the cup winners cup getting knocked out by Sporting Lisbon.

Saved me the hassle of saying what I wanted to say. The cheek bit too all of this coming from a mid 40's bloke who lives a Rory Delap throw from the Stadium of Shite. Fuck Sunderland if some Sheikh bought them tomorrow and won them the league next year, I wouldn't give a fuck if we came 4th top. The difference between toon fans from proper Newcastle areas i.e The Toon, parts of Gateshead and North Tyneside, and other toon fans from your split areas is, we don't give a fuck about what they do, we rarely encounter mackems, we concentrate on the toon fuck every cunt else! Aye the derby games are done for this year so I couldn't care less about the tramps, it's our 1st year back up and we're deein canny and that's all I care about. If we finish above them then normal service is resumed but I'm not arsed, them finishing above us doesn't make them 'top dogs' just have a look at both teams premier league positions over the year for proof. We've had hundreds of games in Europe, they've had 1 (?? some very low number for sure) point is they don't matter I give a shite around both derby matches otherwise I couldn't give a fuck.

Aye you wouldn't think he's only 38

And that £6m upfront rumour was started by David Craig, enough said! Fair one , still not the best time to lose him.

Good post this is exactly what old melty face does every time, the man's an utter cock.

Rising to £24m. I think Ellis Short will be laughing all the way to the bank tbf. Bent hasn't been the same player he was last season, something has clearly gone on behind the scenes, I mean what could it possibly be? His mothers racially abused by you lot hmmmmm I cant think what could possibly have tipped it for him like. There's a rumour it's only £6m up front in all.

Aye I caught that in all looked like something out of deliverance the huckle, they're always good for a laugh

Be interesting to see how much of an impact having Ben Arfa back in the side has when he recovers, and see how they spend this money if Bent does transfer away.

I know you don't have schools in Sunderland but come on! ya nar what i ment... iv been on the drink all day mann Google Translate says; "As a 15 yr old father of six, a basic education was not my priority.Today I blame my illiteracy on licking empty cider bottles in celebration of the greatest day of my life ." canny funny... however the greatest day of my life (after the birth of my daughter) was when Richardson aka the mag destroyer scored that belter Well what a sad little fucker you are then, pretty depressing that a win over a team headed for relegation is one of the best moments of your life. Imagine if you beat us 5-1 eh? that'd be better than winning the euro millions wouldn't it?

Bruce saying that the derby games are just one-offs, it's all about finishing above us. If ever there was an example of a bloke making stuff up as he went along it's him.

This, especially when you glance at their defence and think Ferdinand was somewhere around the £6m mark and Bramble was around £5m

They all deep down know we're better, it's a front they put up all this bravado. Look at the hammerings we've doled out to them in recent years it's impressive especially when you think they didn't even play against probably our best ever team (in the prem years definately) as they weren't in the prem then.

You're joking? Got to be honest, I looked away after they scored. Caught a glimpse of the last 30 seconds or so and then turned it straight off as the final whistle went. Sadly he's not joking it wasn't far off Mourinho's reaction to Porto beating Man utd in the CL a few year ago.

Not according to him. See the quote above Oh aye I don't doubt it's what he says but him supporting Man utd in the '96 Charity Shield (after his transfer away from Manchester) and then subsequently regularly supporting them when they played us tells the other side of it, it's like what Leazes was saying loads of lads from Newcastle have went elsewhere but they still didn't harp on about wanting other teams to beat us and things the way he does.

Aye I'm fairly sure I heard once he's on a sort of pay as you play deal or at the very most a low wage with significant appearance bonus, either way if that's true he's not getting much out of them.

Good post that Leazes, the man is an utter cretin total and utter scum. He changes his spots depending on who he has to appease he reminds me of how Distin's kissed the badge of pretty much every clubs he's been at, says owt to appease the people he needs too. He may once have been a Newcastle fan but that stopped in his Man utd days.

He was poor again like the pass to the touchline he did after shola passed to him on the edge of the box sums him up, mind good attitude when he stopped to give the mackems some grief on his way down the tunnel

The LOVE bringing that up man it was in 1908 or something ridiculous ffs the players that played in that game have all passed away!! The facts are simple they beat us in our relegation season and before that you're looking back over a decade since their last win over us. We're better simple as like Stevie's said before there's derbies you expect one side to always win no matter of circumstance, we're the bigger club and their players know it so they give our players respect no matter the current level of our team (which fwiw ours is better the only players of theirs I rate are Henderson and Bent). The attitude of the people, staff and players of Sunderland showed today when they reacted to an equaliser at home the same way you'd react to a champions league win (literally in Bruce's case near identical to Mourinho's reaction when he won the CL with Porto), embarrassment of a club I knew they'd trot out the 'look at the league' shite, if we were top of the league and they were bottom and they beat us 5-1 and drew 1-1 away we'd still never hear the end of it.
