If they go down, thats been their golden years. 10 years in the top flight, a cup final, 7 relegation fights. not a sniff of Europe granted the derby wins give them that- thats it their golden era. Just remember we had the Keegan era, the Robson years, 100+ games in Europe.

thats all they will be able to afford to put out

years of suviving by one last throw of the dice- will take its toll on their future now the luck has run out.

still have to play boro hull and swansea, cant see them winning all 3- and only need to lose one really to be gone.

If swansea beat Boro tmrw- they will be 10 points adrift

colback pushing peopel in the back ffs

Mackems losing.

2-1

Where's this rain? I know it's forecast but i'm in Waalsend and there's nowt. been watching the radar, was at wallsend park earlier- it passed us , just to the south looks like jarrow and mackemland got it all.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, the phrase is actually 'Moo Point'. You know, like a cow's opinion, it doesnt matter...its moo. haha

they really need a bronze statue for Wenger when he leaves- I hope that same guy makes it.

quite hilarious that such a vain person is the subject so many bad statues

:lol: cant get over this statue

we needed to see something viable in January IMO.

wasnt Marco hinting last night,( not sure only heard it in background) that they could go into administration, and fall further down the leagues?

somebody needs to act FAST

:lol:

whos that supposed to look like?

I was 5 when we sold Cole, I remember walking into school the next morning - I was in year 1 - and the big year 6s knowing I was mad for the toon asking me what I thought, told them what an outrage it was, I can picture where I was standing. Really was one of those big event moments of childhood, 'you remember where you were'. That and when KK left, and my dad walk to my school and into the playground to tell me. I was playing snooker in the Battle Hill club when I found out we'd sold Cole. lol. wasnt it the entertainment complex then? I was training to be an NVQ assessor at Newcastle college, lecturer took great pleasure in announcing it for some reason.

same things will happen to Rafa this summer. if hes even around to see it.

Sorry - NO he wasn't a bigger icon than Supermac. Quinn yes, by far, but Supermac was fantastic. As good as Cole was, he was basically a two season success at SJP...Macdonald was there for 5 years and only injuries stopped him scoring 30 goals every year. As quick as Cole was, he couldn't touch Macdonald over 20-30 yards as Macdonald could do the 100 metres on 10.9 secs. He was better in the air than Cole too. No way was Cole a bigger icon than Supermac....ask anyone who saw both of them regularly..... having seen both, can only just remember supermac from the old Leazes, have to agree with this.

The terms he could negotiate on a free would certainly soften the blow of relegation for him They must have been desperate to include such a clause. It's almost a financial incentive for him to be relegated hes been playing in his flip flops since Jan anyway

Seriously?? The bloke is 34, and only back in the squad because of injuries. what hes saying is he would like to play next season for england and in the premier league, and knows it wont be at Sunderland- like- ' HI OTHER TEAMS IM AVAILABLE ASAP'

haha
