  1. was a f***ing shambles, the whole stewarding through the game. They're still incapable of hosting this game without the risk of people getting hurt. Hopefully they go down and end up with more manageable 20k crowds. That said the brainless bunch of 20 lads who caused the crush outside turnstile 71 allegedly to try and rush the turn styles because some of them didn't have tickets want to take a long look at themselves too. That's where I was, heard a few without tickets went over like, infact you could tell in the ground as the stairs were f***ing chocker. Heard about that, how bad was it? Loads of people around me got in without tickets, it was absolutely rammed. Very bad, I nearly got crushed to death and feared for my life at one point. A mixture of incompetence from SAFC staff and brain dead idiots in our support. I've only missed one Sunderland away game since 2006, don't think I'll bother going back.
  2. Dummett played most of his youth and reserve team football as a central defender.
  3. I'd be surprised if a massive conglomerate like Red Bull bought a Premier League club without the intentions of making it a regular Champions League entity. On top of the Premier League coverage, all told, the exposure would be absolutely colossal. Ashley, on the other hand, doesn't see it as an idea worth investing in, for some reason. Imagine the brand recognition he would have built from birds-eye-view coverage of the stadium, with Sports Direct plastered all over the Gallowgate roof. He tried it with the Cisse signing a couple of Januarys ago but that's the last shred of 'ambition' we'll ever see from this owner, I fear. That being said, I'd have no interest in being FC Billboard. New ownership is a nice thought but that would just be another extreme. On that train of thought, football clubs in this country should be protected by English heritage, or whatever it is that 'protects' things. For eg, Cardiff City's kit shouldn't have been changed, just like St James' Park should never have been renamed or Hull City changing their name. Football is etched into the fabric of modern history in this country, and it shouldn't be meddled with to the extent it has been in some cases. Cardiff wouldn't like being protected by English Heritage like Cadw then.

    They already do, £9 for NUFC ST holders.
  5. Not much you can do if clubs don't want him. Oh and you know this of course. We offered him around and every club in the country said no. It is a basic fundamental of the loan system, a team has to want your player. Another basic fundamental of the loan system is letting a player go at the right time instead Of holding on to him too long as cover and never playing him. Not if no clubs want him. St Mirren have tried to loan him 3 times. Other than their manager talking openly about the press we don't really know what's going on and why that hasn't come to fruition. They way you were going on before you could have thought were turning all and sundry down for him just so he can stay here as back-up. “Adam Campbell, Bigirimana and Haris (Vuckic), they need to go out on loan but we haven’t had the takers yet.” AP, yesterday.

  9. We're a right bunch of bastards when we lose...
  10. Wigan at home on 3rd December 2012 is correct.

    David Moyes in the Metro Centre about 5pm yesterday.
  14. Not really. We sold 50k for a testimonial and Barcelona as a city is probably more than 10x the size of Newcastle. Not really, Barcelona isn't that big. Newcastle would need to be some hamlet if Barcelona were 10 times the size of it. Population wise 1.6 million v 279,000, only 5 times the size..
  15. Their reaction to the quote is embarrassing to them as it shows them as not being very intelligent. Every time they bring it up it amuses me. It's not for nothing that we call them the Scouse Mackems. This. They have the same downtrodden, chip on the shoulder, bitter as fuck small time attitude. Worst away ground I've been to, small, shit, old and in a tip of an area. Give me their shit, old tip over the modern out of a box plastic shite at Hull, Southampton etc any day.
