Indeed. No concrete news, all pure speculation. Also, why are people giving credence to a Louise Taylor article? She, along with every other Guardian North East football correspondent, fuckin hates us.

Is this in a hellhole Sunderland pub, or Wincey's shed? Why does the "fat bastard" mention his Audi and money in the bank? Has the makem sitting down got no arms? So many questions...

Phil Jones. Played most of his games as an extra goalkeeper, just couldn't use his hands. The absolute opposite to good defenders, who are rarely caught out of position, therefore don't have to dive in all over the place. Didn't Ferguson rate him as a future superstar? Must have been on the whisky that day.

Because he's shit. Because they're shit. Shit.

Ridiculously biased commentary from Pearce, couldn't hide his despair. Imagine if that had been us getting beat by a lower league team, the commentators would be orgasming.

Yes he did.

I wish Trippier would stop hoying it all the way back into our half when we have a throw in in an attacking position

Fuckin hell, ref might as well pull on a blue shirt

Bruno red mist already. A walking red card now.

Fuck sake. Fuck Ederson. There's no sentiment in this game, we've made a major fuck up not scoring there

What a load of cobblers. IF moving Leazes Terrace brick by brick WAS feasible (and I'm inclined to agree with @TheBrownBottle that it isn't and wouldn't be allowed anyway), then the potential increase would be way over 13,000 additional seats. More like potentially a 75,000 capacity.

Aye, I noticed he had an ice pack on his knee, in that post match photo of our four Geordie players.

Aye that's a good one. Thought the makems were in the first division when they beat us in the league cup in 1979. Must have been promoted that year.

Not even close. We used to get two-thirds of the old Roker End in the '80s and that held about 18,000.

The makems interpretation of the Civil War stuff is the invention - "we beat the mags in the Civil War and we've been enemies ever since". The idea that two or three settlements of less than a hundred people, fought the large Garrison town of Newcastle is laughable. They were merely used as a convenient small port to land a large invading army of Scots. We've gone over this many times before.

Should have sent Ballard off for the Isak incident in the first half. Should have booked Hume as well as Gordon (and therefore sent him off) in the only incident of the game where tempers really boiled over. Got the penalty call right at the end. So there was three major refereeing decisions to make in the game and he only got one right.

WTF Bruno yellow for winning the ball cleanly.

That can't be 40million Dan Neil surely?

They fuckin are now!!! Well done Miggy!!!

Agreed. We shouldn't be talking about wether it's a pen or a free kick or a red card, but simply celebrating an Isak goal. He still doesn't look his sharpest to me.

The inevitable injury for one of our players due to the ref letting them get away with it all game.

Yellow card at last and Hume who I've got in my yellow card acca

Howay lads, another one before half time

This is not going to end well. No VAR will hurt us, not them.
