Dunno why but it reminds me of the Havertz transfer. Maybe the fact they both have eyes of a veteran junkie

I’m guessing a sponsor is stumping up at least part of the amount. No way Madrid pay £10m off their own bat. The organisers want all the players they can get there and will have facilitated accordingly. They’ve even blagged a special stub transfer window to enable this sort of move.

I definitely think Chelsea plan on signing him, then doing him dirty and bringing in another big name striker who immediately replaces him as number 1, then selling for £40m+ come Jan, or even loaning in Jan in the hope he goes on a tear and looking for £50m+.

I think the difference this year with Guehi is that it’s only 12 months on his contract. Makes it less likely Parish can play similar brinkmanship. Less likely, but still possible.

We just buckled today. Sometimes it happens. We lucked out and it didn’t matter. No real relevance to be taken at all from the game - we made it, so fuck it! @jack j called it right

@Dokko either go every game next season or never go again. You can’t keep dipping in

It was!!!

That wasn’t in the box

That was a legit goal. Thank fuck

Villa gonna be allowed

Are they stopping all games to start together? This is fucking ridiculous

Thats a definite troll

Barnes and Gordon competing for shit stakes

We look awful right now. Nerves or whatever.

Gordon doing his normal against everton

Pickford looked absolutely fucking hanging in that interview

Not won owt since the 70s, boast about their massive followings in the lower leagues and live in the shadow of their neighbours…

As much as I hate the Mackems, I’d probably disagree. There’s actually some decent assets - lots of highly valued young players who may look shit whenever I watch them but if they are getting 8 figures for players like Watson it indicates they’ll probably gets 8 figures for Bellingham, Rigg and maybe one or two others, plus the stadium and compared to some of the mid table premier league clubs a decent support - they’ll sell out for at least the first season in the premier league you’d imagine - it’ll potentially be an attractive proposition. They’re not too dissimilar to Man City in terms of pre-takeover profile, but the ownership game and rules have very much changed since then and Sunderland is a lot more backwater than Manchester. I hope nobody does come in for them, but wouldn’t rule it out, particularly with the US hardon for soccerball and some prominence via their hilarious documentary. Even with new owners I think they’d be straight back down, just maybe in better position to stabilise and go again. Without new owners I’m hoping they do a Luton, who themselves did a Sunderland. Frankly, I just want them consigned back to the championship asap and to fuck off into oblivion. Can’t completely count on it tho.

Kiefer fucking Moore. Sunderland’s man of the match

Glad I took 4-1 on the Mackems to go up at HT. so fucking predictable

I would normally criticise the corpo seats for not coming back on time, but reckon I would have hung back with the free booze rather than watch this. On a side note, what was that barnet all about

My only real concern is if Moyes gives them a complete pass to play however they fancy and they just pile into attacking. Feels highly unlikely and still think we would win, but I am less concerned if they sit deep - as mentioned above, think we have found ways through this in recent months and would do so again. Regardless, nerves are still there and building. How the fuck is it so tight going into the last game. Nuts.

No Murphy, which is harsh when Madueke is in there. No Bowen either.

Trippier possible

No Joelinton. Shame
