midds

Our place was given a massive wedge of tickets for their WBA fixture next week. The pile must have been at least 2 or 3 inches thick. We're having to give them away, you'd expect them to be used as prizes or incentives but we're literally handing them out and there's still a load left. This happens at least 4 or 5 times every year and it's always the same.

Shearer on the bench in the rain. As if he didn't know....

Liverpool away.

As poor a debut as I can remember. especially first half. Really hoping it was nerves and/or a bit rustiness but he'll need to improve a lot pretty quickly. Bottling 50/50's, losing possession in dangerous areas and smashing crosses out of play will need to be sorted asap. Sure he'll get better.

If you show me anything that Louise Taylor has written about Newcastle which is even close to what this lad wrote I'll be amazed. It was only last December he wrote that he hopes we get relegated. Completely unsuitable to be reporting on SAFC. The nasty cunt. Hang him.

They cant seem to understand why we're so optimistic. We're rebuilding with a world class manager whether its in the Championship or not we're still moving forward. They're just continuing to exist to simply survive by the skin of their teeth every year, and deep down they know if they ever do get relegated again if they come back up it'll be the same process repeating itself. Let them have their few wins in a row and their Premier League status, we'll have ours back soon enough with some real optimism while they just continue to be miserable. I just struggle to see what they get out of supporting their club. I know they've won the last few derbies but it's been pretty dire fare down there for the last few years, they've circled the drain and stayed up, fair play, but they just seem to be postponing the inevitable whilst losing millions and millions year on year. Surely you want a bit more as a fan? Surely you want to see a bit of progress but not this lot. 17th is the equivalent of a cup win. I pity them.

That's fantastic. Surely Sunderland will match it?

Got away with only a 3-0 hiding. 1 point out of 12, in 19th place, Spurs away on Sunday. Is this what they were celebrating in May for? Getting absolutely cunted every week, nothing to enjoy, nothing to get positive about, nothing to get behind, can't even stay until the final whistle but at least they're in the premier league.

This is the proverbial holding a midget at arm's length. Everton are so comfortable and superior in every single area. It's embarrassing to be brutally honest.

Lukaku could easily have had 6 tonight.

Game over.

Bang. Gtfi.

Barkley's been ok. Like Scholes in his pomp.

How much did sky pay for the right to televise games this season?

As a spectacle this is fucking dreadful.

It's an absolute cauldron like isn't it?

Nice to see Bolassie has got his roller skates on tonight. They need a goal.

Pick that fucker out.

It's becoming more and more apparent that there's no-one to fear in this league. Not saying we'll steamroller everyone but we should be frightened of anyone. In complete control from start to finish and the confidence is building and building.

We should do Championships with boxing rules. Now the belt would pass on the Swiss. Current 'World Champions' are Uruguay.

Wouldn't have scored that without the confidence Rafa has given him.

That's pathetic from O'Shea.

Toast. No way back from here imo.
