That ref was a joke tonight. Another bizarre moment was their player going down with a head injury and not having to leave the field? On the deck for about 5 minutes and continued straight away. Only 3 minutes added on to the first half. This league is embarrassing.

Would be nice if we could win and Huddersfield drop points going into two tough games against Sheff We'd and Leeds.

I would bet on Fulham to win them, they played us off the park at SJP and are second highest scorers in the league. Would be happy for them, Leeds or Sheff Wed to to go up. Don't want them small time cunts Reading to go up.

I have thought that about the intro on Sky, SJP looks class on it. I will be taking a keen interest in the Championship next year as it's going to be very competitive. You mean a keen interest in the mackems floundering around near the bottom of a "shit pub league" IF they go down they have their work cut out, the play off teams are all good, then you have to consider that Villa should be there after a pre season under their belt as well as maybe Norwich too. Then you have the other two PL teams who go down. Hope we go up soon so I can enjoy the play off race and play offs themselves.

There are people out there saying "I hope they stay up, I'd miss the Derby", no thanks, let them go down to League 1 and play in front of 30,000 pink seats in their cheap identiket stadium with crisp packets and empty cans floating all over the pitch.

Let me guess, some "none they are all scum" some" a few but they never go to games" and one or two "loads of mag mates but only one or two go to games whereas every SAFCer I know goes home and away" ? Only read page one but here's a taster. "3 for me too. One who goes to a few matches a season but works most Saturdays, doesn't really wind me up about anything. One who never goes but is always posting on facebook and gives the impression he hates us more than he loves them. And the other who doesn't go to matches either used to ring me when there was an opportunity to have a dig." Because every Sunderland fan goes to every game, home and away and not one of them care about NUFC one bit. Don't know how he dares tbh haha. We have a few knackers following us but they're a joke.

On the "Pure Football" section of RTG there is a thread titled "How many Mag mates do you have?" They're so fucking sad it's unreal.

That is phenomenal, honestly I know it's so cliqued to bang on about crowds, but where in the world would you get numbers like that for a season in the 2nd tier ? 48k against Preston in the League Cup too, fickle Geordies.

This is huge for me, breath of fresh air compared to the drivel we heard from Pardew and co. If we go up and Rafa gets what he wants we will be absolutely fine, I think people over rate the bottom half of the Premier League. Get some new faces in early in the Summer and we will be fine after Rafa has had a Summer to work with them. I am one of the most pessimistic fans going but I think he will get backed by Ashley. He knows if he doesn't back Rafa we will go down surely. Whatever happens it has been nice to have that nervous feeling when we are leading 1-0 and it has felt great to care about the club after actively wanting us to lose games under Pardew and Carver. That is all down to one man at the end of the day.

Totally agreed, if we do go up Rafa won't get the credit he deserves.

Lad at work was telling me that his Mam looked after Kath. He was saying that loads of ex-NUFC managers often write to her still, Pardew wrote to her pretty much every week. She was obviously a great representative of the club. RIP.

If we were successful we could easily fill a bigger ground. We average 51,000 in the second tier. A few years like we had under Robson and demand would be through the roof. Even if that is unlikely at the minute the opportunity to extend the ground should be there in case. We would be trapped in a weird kind of way should that opportunity not be there.

Average player but stood out like a sore thumb in their awful team. "Hewleeo"

Funny that they've been wanting him in the England team for ages, and now that he's made it back into the picture it could be what spells the end of his time there.

Could do with a decent number 10 more than anything else tbh.

I was there and can't say I noticed boos.

Great result tonight. Basically means that they haven't made any ground on us before a ball has been kicked. A point tomorrow isn't the end of the world and a win puts us massively on our way. Two home games against sides at the bottom who will be fighting for their lives after that. Hopefully Leeds best Brighton too.

Looked like the away team - Fulham looked a different class to us.

Are you not confident now?! :lol: :lol: I am but I just want it sealed, sick of being a bag of nerves watching the matches.

Beat Fulham on Saturday and I will be confident. Good point tonight after the last two results and Ritchie didn't get booked. Hopefully Gayle will start Saturday.

I'll be happy if it finishes 0-0, 7 points from the 3 games that people said would wreck our season is a great return - taking full points at Brighton and Huddersfield was class.

Diame coming on for useless cunt.

Perez missing a good chance apparently. Hope Gayle comes on soon.

And f***ing gouffran should have scored the rebound instead of being half asleep Both commentators said he couldn't have scored that as he was stretching and coming in from a weird angle. Have a look at the chance on sky he should of scored I believe my own eyes not what a bunch of commentators say Clip of it on @NUFC_Online on Twitter
