I'll define "wasting my time" for them. Wasting my time is supporting a club that doesn't try. Wasting my time is refreshing the transfer rumour thread. Wasting my time is feeling despondent all weekend after another defeat when we've fielded a team that's too weak for the league we're in. Wasting my time is wondering each day if Rafa has received the assurances he needs and has signed a new contract. All of that is wasting my time. Putting some tangible effort into getting this pariah away from our club is, to me, a bloody good use of my time.

Edit - Nonsense.

You don't get a pay-off if you're sacked for gross misconduct. Running your mouth off about your boss is gross misconduct. Rafa is doing absolutely the right thing by keeping quiet and saying nothing.

Yeah, incompetence indicates attempting to do something but making a mess of it despite your best intentions. We just don't even fucking try.

This. Every word of it.

This. I mean clearly I want him to stay, but my respect for him would if anything increase if he just turned tail and walked away, sticking 2 fingers up at this regime in the process.

Yeah but some of them were pens so it doesn't count. He's shit.

I've saved this to tweet "Sunderland fans still looking for three points" when the loose their first game of the season. Looks about as full as most match days.

I'd wager that Rotherham did that with largely the same squad and not a whole new team of inferior players Was going to say the same. Sunderland are having to rip up their squat and start again, with a budget of 0. I still think they'll be fine but it does have the potential to be hilarious.

Well Donald's not wrong. Things don't show up on your radar when they're already in your fucking boat.

Don't worry, we'll peddle Lascelles soon enough.

Yeah this game's meaningless in terms of results, but it's still hilarious that they've lost it rather than horsing the opposition 5-0 like they seem to think they have a god-given right to in that league. Long may it continue, I still reckon they're good odds to go back up again but my word I'll laugh my insides out if they don't.

£20m. I'd be so done with anything to do with this club if he goes for anything less than £50m. That's what it would cost to replace him, that's what it should cost to buy him.

Is will be the £25m offer. We'll have made it after finding out about the £27m one. "We tried." That'll be our new thing. Pay some agent twat £2m to find out who has bid for certain players so we can go in below. And the club'll be absolutely gutted if it's accepted. Nah, we'd just wait until it came to personal terms and offer him the national minimum wage.

If I were to write a parody, I can't say I'd write much different to that.

To be fair though, they've at least managed to sign someone.

I wonder if: A) They vet whether you're a Sunderland fan before you start doing this B) If it's possible to install the seats backwards Just curious....

Did you skip maths entirely, or did you just not pay attention?

Can't screen it until they fathom out whether to stick it under horror or comedy.

Middlesbrough and Teesside is a much better town/city and region than Sunderland and Wearside. Mind it will be a culture shock for the player leaving behind the delights and sounds of Newcastle Upon Tyne for the Boro middlesbrough is fucking wretched man Doesn't change anything about what he said. Both statements can be true.

Loved watching him when he played for us, he was an excellent player, a total rock at the back. Hope he recovers from this.

So basically everyone wants out except this lad, and whilst I don't follow this rabble to any degree I've literally never seen his name until now. Amazing.

Want he bragging just a week or so back about how much due diligence he'd done?
