Much more Albert than Woodgate.

Great player who gives us something extra when counter attacking.

What about Charlie Bullshit? Is he worth a few quid or not? Hasn't got two pennies to rub together in football ownership terms. A serial freeloader who was given the gig by the Don because he's bright enough to bullshit and dazzle a few thick northerners and in fairness he's doing a great job of it down there.

If Kenedy had struck his penalty properly against Cardiff, rather than fucking about, we'd be safe now. Fine margins

Looks like the best fans in the world haven't been able to sell their tickets for tonight's crucial promotion game at the mighty Accrington Stanley #our fans #everybodyscupfinal #trafalgarsquare

0-2. Both penalties due to Zaha falling over every time someone goes near him.

Seems like quite a few of them are turning against Jack Dross. Not very keen on his management style at all.

A glance at that forum reveals tales of defecation, pissing themselves, being so drunk they were puking over people in seats in front of them, general low life behaviour and seemingly preferring a drunken mass meeting away from the stadium rather than getting behind their team during the match What a time they must have had Oh and then there's the usual geriatric wannabe hoolies giving a minute by minute account of what did and didn't go on except this time instead of boasting about what and who they did, they've decided to claim the self-righteous moral high ground as they obviously didn't fancy it against Pompey's low lives. It really is a weird site.

Hebburn are a quality set up and club.

If ever a football club deserved a break it's Gateshead.

We were never in it but perspective is definitely needed. Arsenal are performing at a Man City type level at home right now. We probably did well avoiding a drubbing.

This x 1000. I realise Hayden has been putting in decent performances recently and Diame provides steel in CM but Shelvey gives us something that no other player in the midfield ranks can. We've got more pace and movement in the side than we've had for ages and yet the guy most likely to capitalise on it is benched. I could understand it when Longstaff was playing but not now. Sorry Rafa, I think you've got this one wrong pal. Is correct, arguably the best 20 minutes or so we've played in ages was when Shelvey came on against Everton and was supplying perfect balls for Almiron to stretch them all over. However, Rafa knows that but Shelvey is currently wrapped in cotton wool. He's just not fit and barely has 20 minutes in him. I guess Rafa probably has him on the bench for a possible last throw of the dice 15 minutes but it's probably going to take an operation to get him back to full match fitness.

Struggle to think of anyone he's less like. Dyer seemed to go through life with a chip on his shoulder, Almiron seems the exact opposite.

IQ ?

Wow - that's incredible. No wonder Everton fans want rid of him.

Natural rivalry makes me want to see Sunderland get beat but I really wasn't bothered at all about yesterday. Such a meaningless competition for lower league teams and big clubs' junior teams which no one outside of the two teams involved was even aware was happening. That said, the way it turned out, no Newcastle supporter could have scripted it better

Mackems man Go full on for the FA Checkathingy Vase, while clubs with better things to do like Luton and Barnsley sack it off, and they still can't win it! Don't suppose the highest ever paid player in the history of English third tier football will be too bothered as he tees off at his exclusive golf club on the edge of Newcastle this week

Any sane mackem ( yes, I know I know ) must now be realising that taking the Johnstones paint thing so seriously could prove to be a massive mistake and distraction from their main objective. The Don seems to be such a whore for money though, the chance of making a few bob was all he would think about when clubs like Luton and Barnsley were backheeling it.

Re invest the money from cheesey chips mugs back into the club?? WTF that will go far. These cunts are embarrassing man Losing dignity pleading with them to buy their cheesy chip mugs from the club and most of the money will go straight into the pockets of certain players who put them in the position of having to enter the Johnston paints trophy in the first place. Ironic ?

And despite the really strong wind he had the ball under perfect control, at high pace, from receiving it until fouled. Ben Arfaesque.

Sunderland always have the most empty seats in football over a season, whatever league they're in. And that is despite despite ALL Sunderland fans attending ALL games, whereas most mags never attend games and many don't even know where St.James Park is.

Please don't even say it This kid has me looking forward to the next match in a way that nobody has for a while and in complete contrast to the beginning of the season. It's not just his searing pace and getting the crowd off their seats when he breaks, but the way he's changed the general dynamic of the team to a much more offensively minded unit. Love watching him.

Mackem delusion levels know no limits and never will. Spout the same old shite enough times and eventually it becomes a truth to them. The current one is that appearing in the Johnstone paint trophy final, a competion they had to play big club's schoolboy teams in, can be used as one upmanship over their Premier League rivals. Only in their world

In typical deluded mackum style they are also now thinking that the stadium capacity may need to be increased As earlier alluded to they couldn't even fill it when they were in the big league playing the top teams. In fact they barely got 30K for a cup semi final against Man Utd This season has just been their gimmick year where there's a bit of a love in going on and they're taking the flattery of posh boy and the Don hook, line and sinker. It doesn't follow that going up the leagues makes the crowd increase, in fact the opposite often happens. The tin pot cup thing is just an extension of this. Even when a club like Tow Law got to Wembley a town with a population of 2,000 took 10,000 fans. Unfortunately they're now struggling on crowds of about fifty.
