:lol: this thread

I'd dread to see the state of our lot if we got to Wembly or a final any time soon like. Nobody could accuse us of not being loud, that i'm sure of but there'd be some states mind.

I'd be furious with them quotes like. Mentioning Charltons PL seasons, seemingly forgetting Sunderland have soent more season in the PL over the last 30 years. Slagging off the fans for 'not believing' when they've already lost one cup final, limped over the line and lost 21 points from winning positions. Their loss on Sunday had sweet fuck all to do with the belief of the fans. Sunderland have the farthest to travel out of anyone in that league yet still take big numbers everywhere. They get good attendances considering theyve had fuck all success like, certainly bigger than fuckin Charlton. The fuckin cheek of the cunt to mention Charlton taking more to Wembley. Sunderland have already been and lost and a day, ticket and overnight stay in London costs a fucking fortune, especially so for what will be one of the poorest fanbases in the country. Not that he'd know about that, being an eton educated, red chino wearing gobshite cunt.

The North East's obsession with this man :lol:

Week long holiday for Eid in the UAE starting on Monday btw. So if nowt happens on Friday (which it clearly wont ) you can certainly bet there'll be no updates for a good while after. https://www.khaleejtimes.com/ramadan-2019/9-day-eid-al-fitr-holiday-in-uae-

Talksport middle east correspondent who's done a few articles for ESPN and BeIn. Know nowt specky cunt basically. My final prediction on this horseshit: This will rumble on with radio silence for weeks and the club will be no further along with their Rafa negotiations. Same owld shite.

Just seen someone refer to him as Sheikh Barry Moat

Such euphoria yesterday . It's funny to see this place and twitter go crazy, its genuinely class like even if unwarranted. The local journalists know fuck all and neither do TalkSport etc.. They can speculate, research and dig around for bits about bobs all they want, but the fact is they know nothing of the deal. It'll just be a case of waiting now to see if anything materializes. The fact that its been leaked in the first place and its gone from 'done deal' to just a bid accepted without proof of funds tells you all you need to know imo. This one will peter out like the rest and it'll be another false dawn. Like has been said before, if we're going to get bought it'll be done swiftly and everything will be tied up by the time its out in the press. Not dragged out over weeks of negotiations.

Reckon that TV presenter is having us on at the behest of Mido like

Yeah but they aren't saying anything Just it's done and when people ask about the Sun the responses is "it's done". Their words aren't exactly the most inspiring, almost like they read the reports and assumed they were reliable. Saying it’s done is pretty definitive like It's also what The Sun said They haven't said anything more and when people ask them if they have their own information their answers being "it's done" which doesn't answer the question isn't exactly definitive. All along the info came from the Arab side of things. Very much doubt they are reading the sun over breakfast. But they're probably going off reports they've seen on twitter from The Sun and taking it at face value.

Means nowt like

Its absolute horseshit. Some clown from the The S*n completely blindsides everyone by claiming we've been sold and every other journo is running about trying to find out details. Clearly none of them know anything because the story is utter bollocks. Whether journalists are fabricating it or its based on false information, who knows but given the fact that its gone from a 'done deal' to 'in talks' tells you everything you need to know. This one has been bollocks from the start. No doubt it'll drag on and there will be radio silence or at best tiny snippets for weeks e.g Kenyon and Stavely and absolutely fuck all will come of it. It's funny how these things always crop up at critical times, like right before a transfer window or during negotiations to renew our managers contract. One would even suggest that the club aren't willing to give Benitez what he wants and this will provide a decent smokescreen to absolve the club of blame. Benitez will wind down his contract while these 'negotiations' are taking place and then it'll be too late to do anything.

Another Ashley false flag

Like what's down in Man City. ??

Couldnt have been sweeter this. I burst out laughing when it went in like.

Some meeting this like.

Mad to think Alan Brazil was once a professional athlete. Also, is this the worst dressed photo of all time? Laughably bad

Brilliant flag mind.

He was never a midfielder like. Ferguson trying to convert him a central midfielder and then that horrific injury ruined him. Prior to that he was a decent player.

Cant remember the likes of Jimmy McRamshackle from back in the 30's but in my lifetime Faye and Smith were the worst. Obertan shades it for me though, as highlighted by his career since leaving us. 8 games at Anzhi, relegated to L1 with Wigan and then onto Levski Sofia. Woeful, woeful footballer.

Nicky Butt was our player of the year in 2006/2007 yet he's somehow our WORST ever midfielder?

Passed away. RIP.

Nah. Home and away are segregated for a reason. If you're in the home end as an away supporter and you keep your mouth shut, then fair enough. Jump up and celebrate and you deserve to be ejected/given a hiding.

Whats gone on then exactly? I've barely followed it. Is it a case of asset stripping by an owner or what?

That Lawro AMA is class.
