its insanity blaming Rafa for our current situation.

nee chance down there- best would be 2-1 but more likely a good howking but who cares.

he would be quickly surrounded by security guards, escorted down the steps and never seen in SJP again. and the whole shit show would just roll on as is. It only ends when he sells, He only sells when the fans stop paying him to stay.

you cant see whats obvious right in front of your face?

Not much in there that isn't close to hitting the nail on the head. What would you suggest was 'horseshit'? 10 games / no wins. Is it unreasonable to question Rafa? Pardew etc got fucking pelters for such runs. And the boo's at yesterdays substitution? Rafa having any responsibility for the players in the squad is utter fucking horseshit. The owners regime and lack of funding is 100% the reason for the squad we have , and therefore hold full responsibility for the fact the manager cant pick a competitive team, and the 'dire situation the team is in.'

Ive not been for 8 years now. Ive spoken to a couple of customers at work I know who are season ticket holders, and when I have brought up the subject of Ashley and gone a (controlled) rant , they have simply looked at me with a blank expression, almost tilting their heads side ways like a confused dog, and I have had to change the subject back to something they can comprehend.

Round and round and round we go. I wish Rafa wasn't such a thoroughly decent man and told Ashley where to stick his profit before walking once the transfer window shut. This season will be like losing a loved one to cancer, as the 'atmosphere' at St James' proves, when it should have been a full on anti-Ashley revolt. Such a strange status quo and I fear people will turn on Rafa before they turn on Ashley. If they do that will be the final nail in the coffin as far as my interest in this damn football club goes. will the same fans, be chuffed with a promotion next season, and believe we will invest and show ambition once we are back up? heard one say we would invest 200mil on total sport at the end of last season.

Ive said it somewhere else- but if he gets an offer for the club- is he more or less likely to accept if the stadium is empty? in fact- even without an offer- if the stadium is empty is he more or less likely to decide to make an effort to find a buyer.

We would have 15/20 years ago. Our fan base has changed so much. Staggering how he can sit there unchallenged after all he's done. Staggering until you remember the type of fan who goes nowadays Yeah was in some proper angry protests in the 89 relegation.

Rafa should pick himself and bang a hattrick in

how can anyone make the argument that staying away doesnt encourage him to leave. Its simple- he gets an offer for eg 350mil. should he accept- well maybe I will as the gravy train is drying up fans are stopping pouring cash in and might be time to cash out. nah as 50k are still paying me well to be here I think i will stick around for 400- 450 mil.

caller on radio newcastle just called the match fans scabs. Thats the only way forward now- tell the 50k what they are- Scabs paying for the clubs demise.

we either get sold or go down IMO.

50,359 couple thou chucked it in?

Which end are we attacking second half? neither

hope we can score before Christmas

we just waste all our chances, and are vulnerable when defending.

Even under Ashley we’ve had more joy in Europe than Sunderland have had in their entire history. They should be ashamed at that. FFs.

aye , and the meltdown has started on rtg.

never ending Mackem identity crisis

on telly what would have more impact would be a 70 min walk out- would also get the support of many of the support the team fans.

doubt he can play til jan 1st?
