Destroyed fan morale at a crucial point, not getting any money from it, makes us look a laughing stock. You're displaying battered wife syndrome again. Again, would prefer to be scrapping around the lower leagues with someone with a clue in charge and at least be able to take pride in the club.

York City's Bootham Crescent was renamed Kit Kat Crescent in 2005 after being their home since 1932. When the sponsorship deal ran out in 2010, it became Bootham Crescent again. Unfortunately that won't happen here because the sponsor doesn't have the make a choice about if they want to keep paying for the stadium to be named after them. People kept referring to it as Bootham Crescent over those five years mind.

Wonder what odds Paddy Power will give me that someone's crowbarred the new stadium name off within a week of it going up.

Another one to go in their Top Ten Lifetime Events as a Sunderland Fan thread, where half of them involve us and them and the other half just involve us.

Yet again I find myself thinking I'd be happier if we were playing in League One with someone with an ounce of fucking decency at the helm.

Four of our tickets came through the door this morning. Presume they're going to send the other two to my parents house like they did with the Sunderland tickets, fuck knows why. When ordering the we asked for them to be sent to my mate in Glasgow.

Why does Mike Ashley do anything? Because he's a nut.

Still think people should take a load of JJB Sports banners in. Or stuff like "Sweatshop Direct.Com"

Do we get anything from the current branding? Rememebr at least some claims that it actually cost the club money because NUFC pay for the signs and the labour erecting them.

I can imagine a revisit of the "Sports Direct is fucking shit" chants at the next home game.

How often is Eastlands/City of Manchester Stadium called the Etihad Stadium? Hopefully people will just ignore it. Also hopefully, some nutters will fix the signs with a tin of black and white paint one night.

I'm not sure of exact definitions, but is our stadium even actually an 'arena'?

Celtic fans certainly seem to think it's political...

Just seen that first Bolton goal

"Easy" games are the ones they should worry about, they looked better against Liverpool, Arsenal and Man U than they ever did against Swansea and Norwich.

Love the way he just looks up and goes "aye, right there" then *ping* pinpoint precision. Seemed to just stand there like Cantona after as well until he suddenly remembered his kid.

RVP captain, Arteta, Jones, Enrique. Good haul so far.

Own goals don't count, goals scored by beach balls count double. It's in the official Mackem Rules Of Football.

Are they arguing about if they would rather win or lose to avoid us having two weeks in second place yet?

The RTGeniuses reckon the stats are wrong in that OP, for what it's worth.

Put that on another forum, mostly to wind up the horrifically gloryhunting Canadian Barca fan there (although I don't know how much of a fan you can call him, he wanted Man U to beat them in the Champions League final because he preferred them at that point) His response

His mam seems canny as well.
