I presume you can't read, either?

Do you think they have a list of slimeballs that they're going to bring in? Do you think he'll hire anyone who isn't likely to accept his complete lack of ambition and total contempt for fans and the region? Here's a clue: you're thick as mince if you do.

The manager matters insofar as he's just one of their cronies, and he won't give a job to anyone who won't be a patsy for him, so that's why the argument that the manager doesn't matter is correct. It's Pardew or another slimeball.

If they believe in freedom of the press, the national papers should slam this and shame him tomorrow.

Is he better than Pardew? Can he implement a structure and coach the team to play it. If so, sign him up now. Are you serious?

It's got to a point where he, nor the players, really know what's going on and where we are going.

Your position is untenable. You're a joke; please resign.

Any time a side desperately needs a win, they must pray that Newcastle United are their next opponents. We're a nothing club.

I don't have words

No manager who watches football would make that change.

I think it's just typical of a team with no identity and no momentum. We'll play well sometimes, and poorly sometimes. Unfortunately we've had a poor game in one which is very important to the region.

Abject, hopeless, aimless and boring. Oh, and utterly predictable.

We'll need to score 2 or 3 then, which I think we can do.

I want us to pop his eyes out of their sunken depths! Three points would be enough for me but I like your enthusiasm.

Really want to put the Poyet hoodoo to bed. He's a prick.

I recommend the Hotel Neesy

Anyone up for turning it into a night out as well?

Catts for me, like

Grow up man. Don't worry Gattuso. GP's got your back.

I've always regarded them as genuinely just an insignificant club. Their purpose seems to be float around not doing much and then when they get bored of that, get relegated. There's very, very little appeal to Sunderland as a whole and I have no idea how they're actually going to overcome that, because that is the main barrier preventing any sort of progress. That's a bit harsh. Think the same could be said of Swansea 5 years ago. Swansea don't have mackems. That's the dealbreaker.

Whatever the logic and merits and dourness of our situation, we're always better than that shower of shit.

Well said. They're toilet.

I still thought what he did last year was weak but happy as fuck, he tends to be if not a mackem slayer a mackem shield

Surely the club captain could defend him....oh wait! Nobody needs to defend anybody. Even without colo we have leaders in the dressing room who don't require Colo holding their hand telling them everything will be ok. He's injured, he's flew back to Argie, what's the big deal? Nobody was calling Ben Arfa when he spent months in Paris, players do sometimes go home when they injured, nothing new. People question his commitment for the cause but they weren't questioning that in the second half against Cardiff when he held us together and was excellent in getting us the 3 points required. Overall in his time here, he’s shown nothing but a first class attitude, yes his personal problems got in the way earlier this year but he’s come through that and knuckled down for us. No need to give him so much abuse. He very publicly tried to engineer a move away from us in the midst of the worst run of form and injury crisis we've had for years. He only stayed and "knuckled down" because San Lorenzo couldn't afford him and it was clear we would have sued the shit out of him. He has been a great player for us on his day but the whole episode was unsavoury and I lost some time and respect for him, completely understandably.

Shotgun CM with Ian W. The Gattuso to my Pirlo. He does the duty, I get the booty.
