This has come from the police.

I’m told the derbies are scheduled for Saturday lunchtimes in October and February.

Yep. Bullied Schar, and held it up well.

Apologies, typed too quickly with fat fingers - meant 27 points in 28 games, not 47 points (I also forgot he actually had a watching brief for two more games than I’d calculated - so it is actually 24 in 26). So, it’s actually an even worse direct comparison with Howe. As for Froggy’s point re Howe’s January signings, Man Utd’s bench in Amorim’s first game cost £420m…

Howe’s first PL season at NUFC: 43 points in 26 games. Amorim’s first PL season at MUFC: 25 pts in 27 games. Facts.

They’re paying bigger wages

Emegha, the Strasbourg striker, has been linked with us in France. Looks like our type of profile. He's very big but quick. Shades of Mateta about him.

Agreed. He’s 27 😃, and started three league games in Brazil…

Have you ever considered a career in politics? Pope has also made several saves.

RTG reduced tonight to claiming we’ve spent more than Man U, transfer-wise - “close to a billion”, apparently - so should be hammering them every time.

There’s nothing inverted about the countless inverted, right-footed runs he has made from left-back, both in recent weeks and when playing there last season vs the occasional overlap a la Monday night? Righto.

Agreed. A very good right-back, but less effective going forward than he is on the other side, where he’s basically a near-perfect modern-day inverted full-back. I really wouldn’t be surprised if one of the cartel came in for him.

I’ve only just learned that our win on Sunday was pre-agreed, courtesy of corruption. Thanks, as ever, to RTG for their investigative work.

RTG is full of bile, obviously, but @nelford_safc has taken the last 48 hours worse than any of them. Genuinely astonishing - and epically sad - levels of bitterness.

Mad. But not quite as mad as Sunderland’s situation being compared with Ukraine and Palestine…
