IMO its his last season in England regardless of what happens next (Haaland has ended it as a competition for the next 2 seasons and he won't want to just exist) but do think he'll deflect on to everyone else, eventually the owners, players & fans will get some of his whining aimed at them.

SJP standing with Haydn, has a ring to it.

Also, hearing the term Rolls-Royce of a defender being aimed at Botman. I always thought the idea of a RR player is that they are superb quality but the reliability isn't there and always breaking down. Hence why it was aimed at Rio & Woodgate.

Wood is a 3/10, at best. I'll refrain from scoring Isak as its early days, but I can get on board with the rest of your ratings.

He's a dirty mackem, its in his DNA. Naa, don't believe for a second he would. About as professional as it comes. It was be a massive shock, ends his England career and probably loses Liverpool captaincy.

Bird impalers.

Equalled Bruce's achievements as a manager in 872 less games.

Nearlt threw up just looking at it.?

Imagine all the signings Livin' life in the toon Yes

The prem with Bent was, he was too good for them. They knew it, and he certainly knew it. Soon as a better offer came knocking he jumped ship. These days all it takes is stoke to come knocking and their manager is away.

Someone tag Edwards

Shame. Doing a great job under the circumstances, hounded out due to his connections with brum & villa.

Hello Mr garcia? Just checking in for your annual update on Sunderland...no Sunderland....the football team. You cheered us one once pissed in a bar to wind your mate up...no red & white.....not were not geordies....Well yes they're doing well...but they've blood...no blood...anyway...yes were still shite. Speak to you next year. Oh, sorry one last thing. How's our strongholds in california holding? Hello? Mr garcia? Nope..he's gone. Lovely Fella...can't wait to tell the lads. Ftm.

Gerrin. Such a pathetic gimp.

I'd consider a swap for Haaland.

Needs to leave for a bigger club if he wants to play regularly for England. Should put in a transfer request if he misses out on the WC squad.

Well fuck me sideways, there is a player in there. Consider me telt.

Always looking for the negative spin, ffs.

Should be 3rd. Been robbed/unlucky so far this season. Minnit sounds like VAR done us a favour today. So maybe it does even out.

20k online trying to get 1k worth of season tickets at the start of the season would suggest were a good 15k short. If these guys are sticking around and going to deliver trophies and challenge for titles, then it's really difficult to put a limit on it. Whats for certain, is the demand will be great than at the start of this season, where realistically all we did was repair a damaged season and start the journey forward.

It's no wonder they hate our takeover. It's everything they had convinced themselves theirs would be. From sheer joy of the prospect of becoming the world's richest club and being someone, finally, to it falling through, stuck with the chancers in League one and then seeing the last year of their dreams unfold, but up the road with the people they hate the most. Its glorious.

"Indications are that they want to around at least ten years, and will look to help regenerate the city as well as the club. This is a legacy project, not a money-making venture." Of course....or was this a premonition of PIF & NUFC.

West brom are Sunderland from a few year ago. Just keep getting it wrong with managerial appointments who weaken the squad in their time there and blow a bit more cash, meaning less room to manovuer and more critical they get every decision right. Hard to grt off that spiral. Whoever takes over next is going to have their hands full, and they'll revert to type...safe pair of hands, can't risk being creative, and has experience. Unfortunately they've gone through most of them now and all they'll attract are those who are experienced at failing. Another Bruce. Imagine we still had Ashley and he sacked Bruce a year ago. Who on earth would we have ended up with?

I like him, but I agree, it's not what we need.
