The picture on the pitch is taking the piss.

Aye in Sunderland. Them fuckers can't count. Probably ordered 1 keg instead of 11.

Just bizarre isn't it? The amount of times I do double takes in match threads because I'm assuming I've misread or misunderstood... We've controlled the game perfectly. Just need to finish them off.

Scarves win.

Hardly worth getting worked up about ITV pushing the under dog narrative.

I'm talking about the club putting on scarves and breakfast for the fans.

Amanda will get Saudi to buy Sunderland and level it to the ground.

Must say, our lot are smashing these moments behind the scenes. Little stuff goes a long way with fans.

Agree with above. Perfect for Trippier and coolness on the ball. Joelinton will smash them up. P.S, don't get sent off.

He's such a Steve Bruce type. Cliche producing nob head. Speaks like a mackem too.

Can't believe they've picked someone who absolutely hates Newcastle so much and has Sunderland connections.... and paired him with Roy Keane.

Gary Neville is twice the person Barton is.

Aluko is a poor pundit but not because she's a woman... which is Bartons claim. Barton is a horrible human being but he certainly doesn't represent men. I've said before and I'll say it again. He's bare minimum got an anti social personality but he's potentially a Psychopath.

I am a bit nervous but I can't look past Isak tearing them to shreds.

I'll be surprised if the team isnt: Dubravka Trippier Schar Botman Burn Longstaff Bruno Joelinton Miggy Isak Gordon Mackems are going to fucking hate Gordon.

Easy to forget we will have 6k fans there. It will be like a home fixture man.

Ah yes it's January, time to get excited by media created stories and then let down by the same media over the stories they created. While I'm at it, I'll get the razor blades out.

Bit of life in the old dog though.

Joelinton must go into the centre.

Longstaff is invisible.

You new like?

From a fucking throw in man. So simple.

Fair play to Barkley. Player reborn.

Was more thinking about signing players because we've lost a few games, rather than money.

I somewhat agree with @Geogaddiin the sense that its important to have a strong medium term view. There's no use us panicking because we've had a shaky period and start making mistakes. In short, I'd rather us not spend at all, if it meant we could refocus on key areas in the summer. In no order: CF (someone young who can step in when the crock twins are out) RW DM CB
