Scottish national anthem would be much better if they just let Ronnie the Corrie sing it complete with "COME ON!!!" at the end of every line.

I wish the pundits and commentators would mention that this is a friendly but not a friendly a few more times. I'm a bit unclear on the whole thing and if they were to talk about it more it would really help.

Should focus on his job, you don't see school dinner ladies trying to play professional football so why's he trying to feed kids?!?!?!

Came on to highlight just that, he's bang on.

What a load of boring tosh that was.

I thought he looked familiar, just realised I used to work with his younger brother a few years ago. If he's owt like his brother he'll be a good bloke to have around.

I know some on here are less keen on Undr the Cosh but would recommend the Mark Halsey episode just out. The ones they've done with referees so far have been excellent and this one is possibly the best one yet (Jeff Winter and Kevin Lynch the other ones worth a go). He proper hates Mike Riley which I'm sure plenty on here can relate to

Thick bastards have got nowt to do but talk about our ownership all day and night because there's absolutely fuck all of interest happening in their club or city as usual. Bang average Championship side overseen by a mumbling old gadgey in a stadium with more crisp packets on the pitch than supporters in the crowd. Shit hole of a city with no tourism, nothing about it and full of troglodytes who bleat on about how terrible the mags are because they can't bear living in our shadow. Highlight of their year is wearing their new red and white rag from the club shop to Ponteland Airport before their 6 night all inclusive in Benidorm. They'll hark back to the monsoon game and 6 in a row (conveniently ignoring the fact they knowingly played a paedophile in most of the games) and bang on about how they are much classier than we are and how the rest of the country likes them better than us (conveniently ignoring the fact that anyone visiting Sunderland as an away fan or indeed a player chooses to stay in Newcastle) because it's all they have to keep them going. keep banging on about our Saudi ownership lads, it'll drown out the sound of the Champions League music and our hoardes of fans celebrating.

Cancel the red arrows and make them the black and white arrows too, can't be having Sunlin colours during the Great Newcastle Run.

I hope for comedic effect he's counting down with the starter pistol in the air "three... two... one...." and then before he can activate it, Tindall steps in front of him and fires his own one

Ten Hag

The most irritating thing about the first goal was for a keeper who fucking constantly boots long kicks into touch, the one time he should have done exactly that he passes it straight to the opposition.

This is fucking typical.

The way he wandered after his own shit clearance in the lead up to the first goal he could have convinced me.

Hope they take his new contract off the table and ask him for two good games of football in a row before he can sign it. He's been absolutely shite this season.

Absolutely shown up for the second week in a row. Quite clearly it isn't working but no doubt it'll be the same formation and starting team next week. The fixtures do get kinder but we wouldn't beat the Craggy Island 5-a-side team playing like this. Really hope he can sort it out and string a few wins together asap because he's very quickly undoing 18 months of good work with this shit unbalanced midfield selection.

Nice work lads.

Oh good, another chance wasted.

Crap. I've lost all faith that he'll keep clean sheets and win us points any more, looks like an absolute spent force.

Absolutely shit lads. Well done.

Fucking hell man Isak. I've seen Page 3 models show less than he did that ball to van Hecke there ffs.

This is the pits. Why the fuck didn't he change it at half time when it was quite clearly not working

Trippier has been absolutely honking. So much for the "standard-bearer", unless it's a white flag.

No changes

Big half coming up here. Really hope he makes a proactive change at HT and doesn't wait til 65-70 mins to start changing it. The midfield just isn't working in either capacity. It's like a saloon door when Brighton attack and Isak still manages to look isolated. As for Miguel Alsoran, I swear to god he'd better not trot out another 90 minutes of bugger all whilst others are subbed. Can't be arsed with it.
