I think the problem someone mentioned is to move up you have to win the league and THEN win a playoff against the southern league winners to go up.

 

I think it's going to be an long process for the lasses. Looks like they are doing the long approach like Eddie and will be building up the youth and trying not to dismantle the squad morale bringing in too many new players and pushing out others. This is a step up though so there will have to be some turnover. Liverpool Feds who pipped us last year managed to finish 9th out of 12

Changes for next season (if ratified by the FA), both teams winning the respective northern & southern leagues will be promoted - there wont be a playoff between them to get into the championship

Left footed Centre back who also can play at left back - Replacement for BDB??

Since Emery took over on November 1st, they're 3rd in the league.

3rd taking 35 points from 17 games, we're 5th taking 32 points from 16 games +10/+13 GD respectively

He did a Ronaldinho style juggling the ball with his head, then gave it away  

 

 

 

I hope someone caught this, so unlucky - great skills! 

Played really well today, think he’s trying too much to be a team player and now overpassing when he could take on the defender and go for goal. Maxi needs to find the happy medium now. 

I don’t get all the negativity here, Willock was outstanding today

Should bubble along nicely as the day goes on. 

Had to think about this for a second, going on about the 4-0 win over our under 21's in the pizza cup?, surely not

Won’t be their fault as he was on loan at Lincoln at the time 

Offence allegedly occurred in Washington, they may have to give up claim to that part of "greater Sunderland" 

It'll be interesting how complex they make the QR code, the SRU (Scotland Rugby Union) have a digital ticket app, with a rotating QR code - so no screenshotting - but  the app allows for the legitimate transfer of a purchased "ticket" to another registered user that has the app.

I mean just the scene where they're talking about the pre-game music, holy fuck that is a worldy

That really could have been part of the script from "the office".  Gervais would have been proud of that

Last game of the season could be lively if Sunderland and Boro are in the final of the playoffs 

That could be quite amusing, Mackem's and their smoggy manager vs the smogs and their Geordie coach

Big Frank Chippa is something else like

I've trained myself to read the @ on any newcastle tweet first because of this bugger 

Five of us go to matches together, and have done for years, 2 of us were lucky enough to be in P3 while the other three were in P4 (missed on cup game each) - They managed to get ticket via the ballot.
I know there's never going to be a easy way to distribute tickets but there has to be a way to prevent this from happening  (Ignoring the fact he could be a WUM)

‘Let’s call out the bigotry of their owners.  That would send a message about our moral superiority.

 

Hang on, what about the swathes of bigots we have? Shit, best rethink that.  Luckily that was a whole sentence ago, I’m sure no-one will notice’

 

Are these lot for real? They must be doing this on purpose surely  Calling them thick as pigshit is doing a disservice to the IQ of pigshit

Yeah he should have said that we are desperate to replace some of our players. That would lift the team spirit and lower our transfer costs.

The Antonio Conte style of management

I guess Newcastle has been annexed by Scotland and Middlesbrough has finally become part of Yorkshire over the weekend  - Only possible reason for that statement to be factually correct - The S in SMB now stands for "Stupid"

Naa, I’d rather win the Carabao cup and be relegated than finish top four and sign players like him 

Why can't we look to do both

He's just a fad like The Geordie Dancer was and The Wealdstone Raider or whatever he's called. He couldn't go mainstream because his content on the whole is shite but he's funny and has a cult following.

Geordie Dancer is still plying his "trade" down the vaults on a matchday

Is it not more how much cash reserves they have rather than their worth? which currently stands at about $62 billion...

Yeah, their "worth" (market cap is ~$2Tn) is meaningless in this situation, available cash reserves is the key number here - if its $62bn then PIF still rule the roost on that one

Still don't understand why they just can't open the whole stadium up from the start. This isn't Mike Ashleys NUFC anymore, this game is a guaranteed sell out.

Agreed - 50k+ at the previous cup game, no reason not to expect the same level of support for this one, even with it being played 4 days before Christmas
