He's tactically switched on. I don't think there is anything special about him though. Keep them up and get to another Final and maybe, just maybe... RE the makems I know I said I wanted them to win, but in reality, had they won, it wouldn't have bothered me and from a NE perspective and anti modern football perspective it would have been OK, but they lost so fuck them and all the in the world their way. Puts him a few levels above quite a few of the oafs currently managing in the league then.

Genuinely think they'll have a job on to keep hold of Poyet this summer. He's taken over a disorganised, dysfunctional rabble and moulded them into a pretty effective unit capable of giving anyone a game. I think he's put himself in the shop window a bit and someone, maybe Spurs?, could make a move for him.

Like a new signing. Anita can be the new Cabaye and Abeid can be the new Anita. No money down, much success.

Perfectly normal for a manager to try and headbutt an opposition player. See it week in, week out, can't understand why people are even discussing it as an issue. He's been given a formal warning and a £100,000 fine so it's clearly not a big deal at all.

Real will win this 3-2

Hughton sacked tomorrow I reckon.

Get ch402 on now, Fight Night Live. See 2 blokes pushing each other away with their fists. What a cunt, man.

I don't want him sacked I want him ground into a fine powder and blasted into fucking space. I held this opinion of him his morning though so my vote doesn't count really. Should Pardew be sacked for .....[insert literally any reason here]..............? Erm, yes. Yes I do.

Hope the media really get the knives out for him now like. I'll not pretend I don't want him removed from his position as soon as possible and if it's at the hands of a sustained period of (excessive?) pressure by the gentlemen of the press then so be it. I wanted him out months ago and if this incident is the ridiculous event that triggers it then fuck it.

If Pardbrow gets sacked for this......

Recently warned about his future conduct after calling Pellegrini an old cunt and he's now launching cunts from the dugout. What a monumental bellend the bloke is.

Gross misconduct. Sack the loathsome wanker please.

Hope the FA ban him for life.

Lies, damned lies and Pardew utterances.

Just trying to create/perpetuate an illusion of ambition to maintain season ticket numbers. Their words mean nothing, it's all done for a specific, monetary reason.

Doesn't really matter, we won last weekend so we don't really need to win this weekend.

And yet his Liverpool side of 1987-88 is probably the best attacking side and best to watch I've seen. Wonder how many goals John Aldridge would score in the modern era? Just a goal machine. He had some fairly good service providers that season. But he was immense. I felt Dalglish got it wrong by bringing Rush back and freezing him out. Absolutely. Just seemed to convert chance after chance for them though.

Ian WUM > Brett tbh.

3-1 loss and it'll barely register on the fuck-o-meter. Mind you neither would a 3-1 win tbh.

Created division between our own fans this has. I agree with you to an extent. Those who go each week and paid for season tickets absolutely get first dibs. No questions. The fans who have to choose games due to work, location, other commitments then if they get their hands on a ticket fair play. Over the last few weeks I've developed a great dislike for some of the people who haven't been to a game in years but are going to this. Not even as if they used to go regular then stopped in protest. I'm talking about individuals who couldn't successfully name five of our first eleven. For instance two lasses at my work who I heard talking about their trip to Wembley and the mass drinking they'll do on the day etc. Seeing genuine fans scratch around for tickets and pay extortionate prices for one while people like this have them fall in their lap because they know someone who got a share of the corporate tickets really irritates me. Bingo.

It may appear as glory hunting, but howay, the vast majority of mackem fans just like ourselves will have earned their stripes so to speak and therefore deserves to see their club lift a trophy, no?! If you support NUFC or the mackems its mainly been decades of shit followed by the odd decent but ultimately unsuccessful spell. Some choose to go to every game come what may, some choose to go to certain games and some chose to go to no games in protest, that shouldn't exclude any genuine fan from seeing and cheering their team on in a major final, however, be it in person, via TV or whatever. If NUFC got to the FA Cup Final I know I'd be able to get a ticket, even though I've not attended a game in over a year. Does that make me undeserving of seeing my club in a major final? Does that make me invalid RE final tickets etc? Fuck you, I love this club as much as anyone, and I, along with everyone and anyone, deserve to bear witness to success with our club and for the mackems, do you know what, the deserve it. Unlike the prick who manages us, I'm jealous as fuck to be honest. Wow.

How come that never happened under Ferguson? I'm not saying Moyes is blameless but it's hard to win over another managers players etc. Moyes is no Ferguson but he is better than this. They really needed to let him rebuild the whole squad in the summer, and Moyes surely should have demanded it more. He inherited the League Champions. They were the best squad in the country in May. He may have need to tweak things here and there but he's got a fucking great set of players there but he just can't get them playing for shit tbh.

Got absolutely no problem with the genuine Sunderland fans going to Wembley and cheering their team on just like they have done for years. I hope they get dicked but can't begrudge them the fact they're there and they've knocked out Chelsea, Man U and Southampton in the process. The sensible, genuine fans who've stuck by their team I can live with. What I can't abide is the arseholes who haven't been to the SoL for years in protest at Murray/Bruce/Wilkinson et al who have suddenly become the biggest fans of their team in the world again. Suddenly, after having not stepped foot in the SoL for fucking years, are "going to Wembley" and now appear to be bragging about their team winning trophies, qualifying for Europe and playing in Cup Finals. Genuine Sunderland fans getting a Wembley ticket? Fair play. Hope they lose but fair play none the less. These cunts? Get fucked.

I think it would be hilarious if Man Utd won the CL and Liverpool finished 4th and had to go into the Europa. Haven't they changed the rules now whereby even if a team outside the CL qualifying places in the league wins the CL that whoever in 4th place still qualifies? Other way round isn't it? Don't really know but I'm sure the rules have changed so that we don't get a repeat of the Chelsea-Spurs situation in 2012? You could well be right mate, thought the holders were automatic at the expense of the lowest placing league qualifiers but that may have been the one they binned. Not sure myself now. The cunts aren't getting through this tie tbh so it's all a bit moot.
