Ketsbaia

On a side note, I'm spending Friday at the training ground near Pardew, the players and staff. I'll have to hold my resentment in, imagine that

Finally summoned the guts to post here tonight. I’m still not convinced today actually happened because even my worst nightmares didn’t go this far. As fans, the derby means a lot to us and we assume the players feel the same. Ours don’t, they made that clear today and I’ll find it VERY hard to forgive most of them. One of the worst performances I’ve ever seen – it was a pathetic attempt at one - and I think only Debuchy & Ben Arfa escape this game with any credit. I never want to see Jonas Gutierrez play for us again, the first two goals were directly his fault, he’s embarrassing. Yes, our players were tired, but they didn’t give a monkeys today. It’s fine having these technical French players but we need Bartons and Nolans for days like this – people that have passion, desire and heart. I just feel really silly for calling these heroes on Thursday. As for the match, 3-0 was harsh but we deserved to lose. Our attacks are so predictable, we’re easy to suss out. There’s no movement and it’s all so routine. We were repeatedly caught on the counter attack and made Paolo Di Canio look like a genius. I’d love to think this was the match that finally turned the masses against Pardew but I’ll not hold my breath. Howard Webb and his team were awful, absolutely awful. Not saying we deserved a draw, but if they gave that goal it’s a totally different game. Where do we go from here? I have no idea where the 2 or 3 points we need will come from. Play anything like today and we’re gonners. Pardew must go in the summer, Jonas/Tiote/Shola need to be replaced with boreholes and the new manager needs to buy some battlers that don’t hide. Today was an eye-opener for sure, our players and manager let everyone down. The behaviour from both sets of fans has been disgraceful too. Giving us all a bad name. I’m absolutely furious and crushed tonight. tl;dr

Nervous. Very nervous.

At the end of the day, Sunderland are shit. Really, really shit. If we put in some effort, we'll beat them.

This

We had a 2 goal deficit to Benfica and still didn't attack until the 2nd half. God knows what he'll do tomorrow.

Inigo Martinez is a good one too.

Do Spain have tacklers?

Pardew.....honestly, man. Cannot stand him.

Everytime I get nervous about the match tonight, I just think of the players we have and the players they have. That helps.

Now they're all doing their chest thumping "To my mag mates, tomorrow we're not friends. We're enemies. Sun'lun' til I die, Paolo will lead us to victory. In Paolo we trust FTM marra" spiel. Personally, I just shrug my shoulders.

Start the drinking very, very early. You should run AA meetings.

Must admit, I'm bored out of my mind tonight.

Just thinking the same. Are we missing something? A vital clue that's been hidden? Can't believe the Total Sport NUFC fans went for a draw

I liked this line from the Daily Mail's take on it: Carroll £35m, Henderson £20m, Allen £15m, Borini £10m, Downing £20m......they're practically Dortmund already

I'm undecided on this tbh, on one hand its nice having it as a reason to laugh at them every year. But on the other hand i s*** bricks every time a derby comes around and quite frankly my long term health could do without it. Being alive is canny

I'd use derby days as another reason for them to go tbh.

Good scores today.

Really? Fucking hell

David Icke on here IIRC. I think it's time I sign up there with the name David Icke.

What did they say? Let me guess: it'll be a draw (preferably 1-1) because we'll be tired from Thursday and Di Canio will have them riled up?

It's quite fun playing with the mackems on twitter. There's so much fury inside them

Popped over to Toontastic for the first time and saw there's another Ketsbaia there
