Suppose if you're them, looking at the name Newcastle United, up in 8th in January, they might just get fooled. Still funny though! tbf to them its not impossible for us to get into europe, half the league could nab one of the spots considering how tight it is, its just rather improbable Surely that kind of clause wouldn't expire at the end of the season either. It'll probably be for the length of the players contract.

Probably thinks he's downplaying how well they did for us "might look good now but they were shit here so we don't miss them". That's the way I read it anyway.

Eh? How on earth is that bitter? Have i misread that? Mackem says they were our best players based on current form. He told him they weren't and that their current form is much better then both of them were here, Mackem thinks he's bitter, simples.

Had we played some hungry young players like Vuckic, Kadar, Ferguson ect I'm pretty sure we'd have won the game. Pardew doesn't seem to realise that its pretty hard to motivate first teamers to try hard against the likes of Stevenage. Its even worse when the first team is so weakened to begin with that the first teamers become the likes of Smith and Perch.. they're terrible when motivated, when unmotivated they're tragic. Couldn't believe the animosity from the Stevenage lot BTW. What a load of freaks, we played them 13 years ago and they're still angry about it and shouting about "justice" ect

Everyone's got hard games. What's more important to look at is the fact that after 21 games played we have as many points as we had after 28 games last time around. Yet even that season it took a disastrous run of only 7 points from 10 games to get us relegated.

Some of them do have some sense, but fuck me the majority are mongs and some of them, are.. indescribable.

Something I'd love if we did more, whey, if we had any decent players. Got fairly close fairly good returns on Milner, Martins, Beye, the Zog, Duff, and er... Bassong mind. Bassong was worth the 8m tbh. Hmmm how much did you lot get for Duff? £4m

Its ok, vid doesn't work anyway

I suppose he will probably keep them up this season, but surely they had better options for £7m?

If they sign him on a 3 year deal its going to cost them nearly £15m (he's going to want 50k per week plus, surely) for a player who'll be finished in two years time, madness.

£7M for Robbie Keane

I would rather have Welbeck than Ben Afra on the footage I have seen this season and I'm not having a pop at Arfa as I haven't seen a great deal of him to make an accurate assessment but Welbeck is going to be a top player. I've seen Ben Arfa twice when Newcastle have been on the box,once was a Sunday afternoon game and he got took off early in second half(can't remember who it was against) and in all honesty thought he was very average and the other game was Man City when he got injured so obviously can't judge him on that. You don't even know the lads name (Arfa ), let alone enough about his ability to compare. You've seen him play one match (his one less then impressive performance) and like so many other Mackems obviously haven't even heard of him prior to coming here (despite him being one of the most promising players in Europe over the last several years). Welbeck's a decent to good player, but his Footballing ability isn't in the same league as Ben Arfa.

2015 Bloody hell, whilst I'm delighted he's signed I'm not sure we should be signing players on deals until they're 2038 years old. Though we set a precedent with Nicky Butt... He'll only be 28 by the end of this contract. Whatever girlfriend.

2 - 1 to Newcastle

How many of them are about Sunderland AFC?, that's the difference. Most of this thread is about RTG and how obsessed their fans are with our club. If any Premiership club had a forum focused almost entirely on our club there'd be plenty of discussion about it.

He clearly stuck his fingers in Tiotes eyes.

Utter cunt.

Offside goal for the lucky bastards.

i've heard 6 games mentioned. don't know if that translates to a month. Same amount of time. oh bugger! Two of those games would be in the cup though, so its not quite as bad as it sounds.

They'll be in his contract, almost certainly. Aye, was just thinking that. He'll have some sort of worst case scenario relegation release clause. No way will they give him a release clause. Maybe a fixed fee he can leave for if we're relegated. Isn't that what a release clause is? A release clause normally means the player is automatically released from his contract on relegation. I'm sure it isn't. You hear people say "Oh yeah, blah blah has a £5m release clause if Wigan get relegated" etc. etc. Why would any team put a clause in their players' contract that said they'd go for nowt if they got relegated? I can see a club wanting to do it for an older player on big wages (ones unaffordable in a lower division). Other then that it would be at the request of the player, and clubs agree to some crazy things if they want a player badly enough. I'm sure some players have had basic release clauses in the past, as in no fee, just an automatic release from their contract on relegation, can't remember a specific case though. Since you mentioned no fee I assumed you meant a release clause without one, just a misunderstanding.

Guthrie penalty. Also interesting to know that of the 4 goals Wigan have scored against us at their ground over the years 3 of them were scored by Ryan Taylor.
