"Give them a little bit of ENCERREGMENT" How can a North East accent from a City (town) just a few miles down the road from us be so rotten to listen to?

This just made me laugh, in a thread explaining why they shouldn't worry about being rubbish in the last 5 games the opening post shared an insight about how PSG have just made it to the final of the Champions League: "Look at Paris St Germain, for example. They won the title and went unbeaten all season. But as they started to prepare the (Champions League) semi-final, they lost two games in a row. Now they're comfortable through to final."

I heard that each Mag at work brought a single greenfly along with them, verified!!

Mackelogically they will presume that they are the default winners regardless of whether it was officially ratified - in the event of Man City being stripped of any silverware that was won during the period they are being investigated over their strange financial activities.

Don't forget threats to "Wire your jaw".....

Bristol just equalised with a proper Thunder Bastard of a shot. All Bristol in 2nd half. Haha
-
What more incentive could the players have than to be in 3rd place following a win tomorrow evening? Just get at them and play like we play best, high pressure and high intensity.

Rumour has it that it is Maddison that is leaking the Spurs team info and trying to fuck up Ange. He really does hate Spurs doesn't he? haha.

Stumbled across this today. They have a thing called The SAFC Branch Liaison Council where they arrange to welcome their multitude of fan "Branches" from around the Globe.

One of them making an argument that the likes of Newcastle and Everton will revert to their mean average and go into the Championship. Correct me if I am wrong - and it pains me to say it but - Everton have been constantly in the Premier League since it was started. We been out for 2 or 3 seasons while they have been outside the top flight more than half of the years it has been around. They really think they could give Brighton or Bournemouth or PSG a game? Jebus!!

Would rather start with Osula than Wilson personally. (Well, would rather start with Isak but, if Howe was going to rotate the striker for this game....) Wilson has shown nothing in the short recent appearances other than the fact that he is a shadow of his former self as a player. It is time for him to hang his boots up - at least for us.

I think the ones that are mocking the massive celebrations that took place at the weekend are simply masking the fact that they know that they would never get such a reaction from their own set of fans for winning a trophy of any kind. It is masking their own pure jealousy that we have such an amazing support that are prepared to come out and celebrate with the team. Whether the Carabou Cup is devalued by so called top teams is somewhat moot, I didn't feel that Forest, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all lay down for us to progress and ultimately win the whole thing!

Holy shit that is bad.... and to think the Government seems to think we are all happy for them to use our taxes to pay for that joke....

The main demarcation between Sun'lun fans and Newcastle fans is now very clear to me. All Sun'lun fans go to the match whereas hardly any Newcastle fans do. (oh and we all stink) I live in Gateshead near to Heworth Metro, we have one Sunderland fan in our street. He is perfectly fine, a nice neighbour and a decent bloke. Often takes my bin in for me on a Friday once the binmen have been around. However, he doesn't go to the match..... I simply cannot figure it out!

100% correct. My mate used my dads ticket because he was too unwell to travel. We carefully tippex'd out the "C" In the end no-one checked, they were more interested in making sure we were not smuggling in anything to eat or drink.... I had a bottle of water taken by the door steward, he said I can easily buy water in the stadium! I think that is to do with the chaos at the Euros...
-
pretty sure he didn't mean it like that, his personal sacrifice and all that. The idea of - what I believed would be - a mass abandonment of season tickets was to try to force Ashley out of the club. Ultimately he left for his own reasons (which involved being pumped full of cash) but, ultimately he left and we are a better club for it.

Wholly my own opinion here. There seems to be some growing resentment coming from none season ticket holders towards those that do have season tickets, it started quite tamely but, is escalating quickly to a critisism that we somehow supported Ashley and enjoyed being managed by Steve Bruce. I have had a season ticket for so many years that I stopped counting. However, my point is that when Rafa left and Bruce was appointed I chucked my ticket in. It was my understanding that a majority of others were going to do the same. Seems that it was just a handful in the end. I was on a fixed 10 year (which seems to have become endless) deal and was paying hardly anything in reality. As the talk of the takeover was really gathering pace I asked my son and my dad if they wanted to get tickets again, initially it would be just for one season to see what happened with the takeover etc. Of course no 10 year deal prices were available, I pay close to double the amount others are paying who sit near to me. Anyway as things turned out it was the best thing I could have done and a few short months into that season it all happened. It also happened that when I bought my season tickets back that would also be the last time season tickets would be available to buy. I feel incredibly lucky for those circumstances to have rolled out for me in the way that they did. I feel heartily sorry for the ones who want to go to the match but, have the issues to buy tickets. It would be great if it was better or we had a bigger stadium or something but, we don't. I am not quite sure what else I want to say other than being a season ticket holder does not make me feel superior to anyone that doesn't. It makes me feel grateful and somewhat lucky...

There are three of us that go together to the match. Some difference of opinion between us all as to whether we feel we should stay or move to a new stadium. Me - I am the oldest by a fair margin and had my season ticket for way longer. I would like to move to new stadium. We all sit in the East Stand, anyone who sits in the East stand will confirm that it is really not fit for purpose, the concouses are a mess and way too small (narrow). The toilets are a disaster and a biohazard. My 19 year old son - Absolutely wants to stay put in the current stadium, he feels the ground could be improved considerably with some layout changes and some money spending on the facilities, such as toilets. He is convinced that a new stadium would become a soulless bowl of silence. My mate - Somewhat undecided, can see reasons to move to a new stadium and reasons to stay. So that is a straw poll of the three of us and I would bet that loads of people that are lucky enough to have season tickets have similar views.
