The Fish 10855 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Wow, that really shows how dreadful we were last season. Wouldn't have said we spent half the season in 19th place. Really makes you wonder why McClaren didn't go A LOT sooner. Said it loads, but I don't think it would have taken that much longer for Benitez to save us. 2 games would have done it imo. Sack McClaren after the thumping by Chelsea, 18 days for Rafa to work with the players before Stoke and Bournemouth. 2pts from those, plus another point or two from later games (Norwich, Villa, Sunderland, maybe?).

That's definitely where Charnley cost us. Absolutely should have ditched McClaren after Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10855 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 That's definitely where Charnley cost us. Absolutely should have ditched McClaren after Chelsea. If we'd taken all 3 points from the mackems we would have survived on 39 and they would have gone down on 38. Despite Allardyce being an amazing manager.

The Fish 10855 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Also interesting how badly Man Utd are doing in there tbf. No surprise given their splurge. I also think at the top end of the market it's hard to get recognition in that table. I mean, £100m on one player... what can he do to provide value when the margins for error are so small at the top? He could have scored 20, assisted 20 been amazing, and Man Utd still be outside the Champions League spots. Conversely, an undervalued Kante stormed the league last year, but now an identical season would be less valuable because of his inflated price tag.

Howay 12496 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 What a gimp, I don't like "united by cancer, divided by leagues" that's just a bizzare thing to say and is just bringing the topic of cancer into a thinly veiled pop at them. The whole this is embarrassing tbh, it was embarrassing when they did it and it'll be embarrassing when that bloke does it. I had a feeling some daft shite from our support would do something like this mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Aye totally agree. Nothing needed to be done. The one about Cancer just screams "oh look at how classy we are in comparison to yous lot" which is a pathetic and sad thing to do by trying to one up someone by using cancer. It just goes to show that there is a minority of our fans who are worse than their Mackem counterparts Edited May 4, 2017 by StoneColdStephenIreland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30578 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 FFS, we're going to have to charter another plane to follow the first plane with a banner stating, 'The previous banner may not necessarily reflect the views of all NUFC fans'.

David Kelly 1244 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'm glad to see that most of the money is going to decent cause than all being wasted on something totally small time but generally can't see the logic in it at all. Even without the pathetic ending to the article, it does seem like nothing more than pathetic points scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Hilarious. Aye it's a fucking embarrassment. The mackems will rightly have a pop about this but their versions of Darren Curry already undercut that by doing the pathetic plane thing last season, so cheers Darren you've put us on equal levels for this sort of craic, wanker. It's also worth pointing out that even if this sort of thing was a good idea to do, the banner itself is tragic as fuck.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Sunderland 'stars' disappoint schools The Stadium of Light played host to the Sunderland Schools' Football Association's annual awards ceremony on Wednesday night and was due to be attended by two first team players to join in the celebration of all things youth football in the city. Except they didn't show up. The club had arranged for Bryan Oviedo and Donald Love to attend the evening but with no explanation offered, dispatched two little-known academy players instead. Disappointment abounded amongst the kids who had been hoping to spend some time with a couple of first team heroes. Ever a PR machine to make a bad impression worse, Sunderland AFC allegedly still charged for the room hire and potentially raked in cash from bar sales with no account offered for the switch of 'special guests'. The back-to-the-community rhetoric uttered by chief executive Martin Bain when he joined the club - which had been universally welcomed - appears to have disappeared along with the public face of the man himself.
