The Bonk

Hate to paint Caulkin with that brush. The rest, dump the bucket.

LOL, he’s had a go at Google Slides. Also, this purchase flow makes zero sense. Why can’t we have some semblance of normalcy at this fucking club?

I :lol: Gorgeous. these words entice more than the football on display.

"Squirming to safety on the cheap, with ugly smash-and-grabs, unjustly rewards the poverty of ambition which has held the club back throughout Ashley’s tenure." Hasn't put a word wrong in that entire article.

Angry Birds on the sleeve very apt for Pickford's reaction.

He’s probably not looked beyond the edge of his desk.

When I read the comments on Twitter from our fan base on the “you think we should be challenging for the title LOL” bollocks, I look longingly at Wolves and who they are as a club. The entire ground standing, cheering, hanging on every last touch until the final whistle yesterday was amazing. That’s all I want.

Me too. I'm as indifferent to their plight as I am with football in general. It’s a window into a football horror show. s*** decision after s*** decision leading to a club a few years removed from the top division into obscurity. Could happen to us. It’s what most want , imagine it , the only way to rid us of Ashley though Inviting a host of other problems if we free fall. We’re stuck in a “just good enough” level of mediocrity related purgatory until the protests take on new heights. I see where the others come from in their wanting financial implications forcing arsehole to sell up, but that’s a dangerous slope. A few years in the Championship might be the best way to see him gone (financially better there, but will lose the wealth of top flight football*) and new owners come in, but then you open yourself up to chancers like The Don. (*We don’t see that money anyway.)

You damn should all them c***s gloating after the 6 in a row and that nonce Johnson doing his aeroplane after his last minute winner, all the s*** we got about pub league when we were in the championship from the mutated c***s Its all coming home to roost now and karma is a bitch we should crow and laugh like f*** at the shitshow they have become because if it was the other way around wed never hear the last of it It’s not gloat worthy to be honest (their plight). Taking that attitude makes them have some sort of relevance, which is the exact opposite of their reality. I’d be horrified if they took pity on us, which is all I have for them.

Yikes. That picture is a perfect illustration of a club headed for administration. What a free fall for them.

How is The Don any better than Ashley. Would he have gone through the FA “fit & proper” nonsense?

This shit happening to us is my biggest fear. I mean, look at the anguish on this poor Mackem:

love this even more now that I have the context.

To lease it back to them? Stiffy, we won’t even install a swimming pool in our current facility, why would we buy the neighbours? I mentioned this some time ago. We'd be getting a first class facility for less than the cost of upgrading our current third rate training ground. And it's in South Tyneside, not Sunderland, if anyone was worried about that... The optics of this scenario means it would never happen, mate. You’re talking hypothetical ideals around a businessman who is cutting every operational corner possible.

Lose today and he’s back in, no question. Especially if we fail to score.

I’m aligned with this minus Leeds being promoted. Would love to see them slip into the playoffs and lose out.

He’s doing well but it’s questionable how much he’s at fault for Sunderland’s predicament and the standard of league he’s in is way worse. If he bought that team then it’s on him, but it’s seriously one of the slowest, most unbalanced sides I’ve ever seen. The simplest thing to do in that league is build a side that is aggressive, fast and hungry and they’ve got none of that You reckon the SPL is worse than League One? Based on what I watched yesterday I'd have to disagree with that. I would equate the SPL to mid table Championship being the pinnacle and the bottom closer aligned to League 1 promotion clubs. Celtic obviously a slight outlier. Mackems no where in that threshold. Yikes.

It would appear the reality is setting in, hence them turning on the entire club. Sad for them, glorious for us. Which is why I’d be s*** scared if Ashley sold us to one of his spivy mates. The same could happen.

Yup. Last season was officially but even during it they had their love of the Don, Charlie and their new red seats to keep them happy and feeling positive. That’s all collapses beautifully this season. Hounded out Ross to be replaced by someone shitter. Don and Charlie hate the fans as much as they hate them. They seemingly hate all the players albeit that’s nothing new. It’s marvelous. I'd be pissed if I was Donny and Methead too, they've been exposed as the chancer's we knew they were. Who would want to do business with these cunts outside of football now? (edit: even in football for that matter)

Seeing what these lot are going through, not sure I could stomach it if we ended up the same. Would be equally depressing as having our current cunt of an owner. At least our lot (players) seem to like each other, the Mackems are just grim all over.

Always a wild read through any thread on that forum.

Ahahaha ?
