Ha, amazing. They'd be wanking themselves daft if Benitez went there.

No matter what the eventual outcome, it's pretty clear that we have a realistic chance as a club of landing a genuinely top class manager. So why the actual fuck we ended up with McClaren as choice A, B and C on our wishlist, stumbled on with no manager at all for months when he turned us down and nearly got relegated in the process, appointed him even after his promising start with Derby had become an utter shit show and they'd sacked him, bought him 80 million quid's worth of players, let him guide us back into the relegation zone again and then paid him £4 million to fuck off after 20-odd games is anyone's guess.

Merson and co talking the usual shit about managers having an impossible job, got to look at the players and the owner, don't get to buy their own players any more, never get given a fair chance, blah blah blah.

On SSN now.

We thought that last night We'll still be kicking our heels waiting for something tomorrow night.

Have you combined Chris Mort and Barry Moat into one person?

The worry is that even if we get Rafa, as soon as it looks like we're no longer in absolutely immediate danger of going down he'll be up to his old tricks again of "What's that? We need a striker? Sorry Rafa, best I can do is a 18 year old goalkeeper I'm signing as a favour for a mate of mine who's his agent. Oh, you have to play him as well cos as part of the deal he's had SPORTS DIRECT.COM UK'S NUMBER ONE tattooed on his face. Fine, walk away, I've got some cockney spiv I can give the gig to anyway, sure well be fine."

If you'd like to feel just like 'er, Your cell mate's Decka Mick from Byker.

Well I hope he's exiting.

We're going to do something stupid like tell him McClaren has to be his assistant so as not to hurt Steve's feelings and he's going to say no. Weren't there reports some managers turned us down when we first got McClaren because they were told Carver had to be their number two?

Not very exclusive like, is it?

Come on Benitez, only Villa's beneath us!

If we manage to get Benitez in, in the state we're in at the moment, this lot will have seriously landed on their feet. Which will make it all the more frustrating when they manage to completely fuck it up anyway.

I'm amazed by this whole angle of how we should have sympathy for immature little Adam for making a mistake, but of course nobody did anything stupid they later regretted as a 15-year-old lass. That's what the laws are fucking there for.

Sky News reporter outside the SoL not pulling punches - "This is a very clear, orchestrated attempt to place all of the blame on Margret Byrne's shoulders"

Suggested by who? Still denying what wasn't the accusation in the first place.

Admits decision to let Johnson continue playing for Sunderland was a "serious mistake"

2016, ladies and gentleman. Is there such a thing as a paedophilephile? Because that's exactly what these people seem like. Imagine spending more time than necessary thinking about paedophiles man, it seems to defeat the purpose of those that go this way about it. I did see a Norwegian(?) comedy sketch about paedophiles being pestered in parks by paedophile-aphiles, and them complaining they couldn't watch kids from the bushes in peace because there were people in other bushes leering at them Can't find it now and my search history of trying to find it has probably put me on a list

What's even her argument? Why does he need 'justice'? What injustice has been done to him? What would be 'justice'? Letting him off on all charges, even the ones he's admitted to?

"Business as usual" is usually a phrase meant to reassure, unfortunately our usual business is the business of spiraling chaotically towards footballing disaster and financial ruin.

Just make it happen ffs. What the fuck is "suggested some form of sounding out"? Sending out smoke circles to see if he could spot them from his garden? "I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn. - Lee Charnley"

Unfortunately for Sunderland, nobody really gives a fuck about our manager any more

Claiming to back him now would just be an admission they tried to get rid of him and failed/couldn't be arsed. Not even these lot can believe he can turn it around.
