Good to hear Dowie mentioning him ahead of Sunday. Hopefully if we're chasing a goal in the last 30 minutes Shearer will think Nile could be his Macheda

Well as the article poitns out, yes there is.

Complete with Kiss Me Quick hats.

Migth take a banner with the web address of some illegal footy stream site, might keep the fucking cameras off me.

... the fuck? The fact it's floating eerily in the sky makes it look all the better

Thought the main problem with the long sleeved one was that the stripes going down the arm stop at the same point as they do on the short sleeved one (above where the league badge is) and then start again further down.

"Here we are when we are shit"

It'll be easy man, I'm out on the piss all night in Nottingham the night before so I just need to make sure I don't sober up. Saying that, Birmingham police are absolute fuckers and lift people at random going into the ground for the offence of "Attempting gain entry to a sporting event whilst drunk." Nabbed a mate of mine at Villa Park minding his own business and hoisted some lad next to me up by both arms and bundled him into a side door at St Andrews for the offence of singing as he came through the turnstiles.

Make it reversable - one side if we stay up, one if we go down. Will make you look exceptionally confident of the right result. Just make sure you show the right side

There was a fad a few seasons ago of the FA shaking its fist and threatening punishment against teams who fielded a weakened team in the Carling Cup - I seem to remember the person who got the most grief for it from the FA was Harry Redknapp, with the big four obviously just thumbing their nose at it.

The Cap and Gown. Last time I went down it was full though so we had to go and take over a Villa pub.

my god, he's got it. you know that bit in braveheart where they're lining up for battle and they all just get their arses out? upon the final whistle, whether we're safe or down, 3,000 geordie arses should be presented to the the rest of the premier league. On the plus side, they wouldn't be able to show the shots of the crowd they've been dying to broadcast on Sky Sports since we got into trouble.

My plan will be to stay as far away from cameras as possible, in case I feel agrieved by a decison and do a Drogba.

Sky live test commentary Let's hope they're still singing about us rather than supporting their team next Sunday too, it's been doing our survival hopes wonders.

What a conundrum for Sunderland now, do they support Hull against Man U or not

I'm sure Fergie doesn't want to risk Ronaldo, but after his tantrum the other day I imagine he won't be too pleased about the prospect of not setting foot on the pitch and Anelka taking the golden boot as a result.

Trying to work out what would piss me off more, winning and going down anyway or losing when we only would have needed a point to stay up.

You'd like to think the enormity of the match on Sunday would have our lot playing out of their skins, but on the previous showing of some of the sackless bastards it's hard to imagine that happening.

Those are actually the scores I've put in for my I Know The Score prediction league. If ayone wants to clutch at straws, I'm top of the league by a mile.

SUPPORT YOUR OWN FUCKING CLUB, YOU SAD FUCKING CUNTS! To be fair, us going down will be Sunderland's biggest achievement for the past three decades. It's their version of our beating Barca, twatting Man U 5-0, playing over 100 games in Europe. Liverpool have that night in Istanbul, if we go down the mackems will have that day at the SOL when instead of watching the game they listened to the mags lose on the radio. Expect to see a gold star above the Sunderland badge on their shirts next season.

Going to be a nightmare trying to keep up with other games as well through chinese whispers going through the crowd.

My plan is to just look stoney faced into the middle distance. Will probably be pissed though and don't know how I'll take it so I could end up doing anything, laughing manically, whipping it out, I dunno.

Also, we're the sixth most memorable team in the league: http://www.sporcle.com/games/premierleaguealltime_results.php Would be the most remembered outside the top four if it weren't for everyone going "Oh, and Man City" after typing in Man U

Too early in the morning for this, couldn't even remember who's in the premier league now Eventually found the best way was the remember the grounds I went to in the 93 season and shiny stickers from my Panini collecting days - sharp mental images of the Swindon, Oldham, Ipswich and Coventry stickers helped me remember them. Plus every time I got one I'd get their rivals - Portsmouth - Southampton, Villa, Birmingham, the two Sheffields etc. Working out it would accept "WBA" or "Shef Wed" helped in terms of time. Still did shit though.

I imagine if it actually comes down to it at least an element of Man U fan will be chanting about Shearer and gloating about us going down, even if it means them losing a match... EDIT: Indeed some folk would apparently happily lose to Hull if it meant sending us down http://www.redcafe.net/f6/were-gonna-relegate-hull-last-day-season-247019/
