They are mainly obsessing over his age. "Contracted till he's 34/35. Can't be many full backs that age playing in the premier league"

You sure they were mackems?

The real life mackems I know are all to a man trying to pretend and act like we haven't just been took over by the wealthiest bastards on the planet and that it's now over for them in ever competing with us again in the next 20 years at least. It's funny as fuck to see. Cannot imagine the feeling if the roles were reversed. Poor cunts.

My mackem mate just went quiet on the phone for ages today when I mentioned we had signed Trippier. Never knew a silence so golden!

"Hi Christian, how's it sound to come get kicked to fuck against Burton every week for 3% of your prior wages?" And "The lack of ambition by some of our fan base is mind boggling. We might be in League 1, but we're Sunderland AFC, FFS. Man up" ?

Every last one of these fuckers who has put us down for the last 15 years mate. Every last fucking one.

Yeah, but now I'm the crusty old man.

Honestly, in the deepest darkest days of the Ashley regime, the seemingly never ending torture, did anyone in their wildest dreams imagine that we would ever be in this kind of a scenario again? A mere six months ago I couldnt even look at anything NUFC related or talk to anyone about football let alone watch a match. Yet here we are raiding Athletico fucking Madrid ffs!. ?. I feel like I've gone from Fritzls cellar straight to the playboy mansion. Bring it on!!

Gan on mag in peyce lad!

I feel a bit like I did on takeover night! Buzzing me tits off. Need to get to sleep though. Howay the lads!

The fewm is cranking up a notch there tonight...... "But they aren’t bothered. We are under their skin, the thorn in their side, the itch they can’t scratch. They can’t do a f**king thing with us and it’s driven them insane. There’s one thing we have that they’ll never have. Self respect. Demented twats." They also keep making the point about Trippier being the "31 year old right back." ?

What a time to be alive!

Think I do this as well.

Is it known why he wants to come here specifically? Sorry if I've missed it.

I got called deluded by me mackem mate the other day for saying that we might just survive......you's are deluded Geordie bastards, you's are down man you deluded fuckers!

If this happens it's going to be a mint new year!

Black and white seats, yes please.

Heartbreaking not to win and lose so many to injury. This club is united again though for certain!

The one I was on about was definitely Ingrid.

Aye thats her! The blonde lass. Fantastic!

I also think that for my generation who were spoilt by having experienced the Keegan era so vividly growing up it has made it all the more harder to put up with the monumental decline and neglect of the Ashley era and keep going. I know personally that as I was watching this abject dross with zero prospects, in the back of my mind my 15 year old self, drunk on love and pride and emotion for the club was gnawing away at me. I just couldn't bare to see what we had become and the only thing I could do was walk away from not just NUFC but football in general. That's how intense the Keegan years were for us teenagers back then. It was everything.

Aye I remember going to the Odeon for the games it was packed. That fit lass from Metro Radio used to host it or something. Went to loads of beam backs at SJP too.

That mid 90s era was such a wild ride. I was about 14 or 15 at the time and wish I was a little older to appreciate it more but I have so many great memories. It felt like we were on top of the world, the pride we had in the team, our city, our region; it was immense. Everywhere you went in the country, once people got a hint of the accent, they all wanted to talk about the football and how much they loved watching us and how amazing the fans were. It made you feel ten foot tall.

You could see Souness was really uncomfortable while he was saying all that shite, but this Pardew fella, he seems to have something about him, could have a bright future at the club!

That we are not a big club. Big support doesn't equal a big club. Also said we were the hardest club he ever managed. Aspects of the club always undermining him at every turn. Bitter as fuck.
