It's nice to see the Benfica fans are as excited to be playing us as we are playing them. -
Shocking news!

When the draw was made, the board invasion from the Benfica fans went from cute, to adorable, to just about adopting them as our own. The closer we got to the game, the more the twattishness began to come out. Still not sure how serious the banter is, but it's pretty obvious both sets of fans are bricking it at this point. They have the better recent history and play some excellent football, which worries us. We have the better individuals in certain key positions and a certain mystery to our side which worries them. No calling this tie until the whistle goes at St James' IMO. HTL! -

The question remains though, can Benfica do it on a cold Monday night in Stoke? -

Pacy or hold-up player? A Bellamy or a Fellaini? -
Much rather hone in on and nab PE Aubameyang than go back in for Remy personally.

Lucky bastards who are going, have a great time and sing your lungs out. Show them Lisbians what Geordies on the terraces are made of

Who or what is Swindon? Never heard of it.

Apparently he has been on holiday in Hawaii iihc.

If that happens we'll defo need to reinvest quite heavily again in the summer. The Amalfitano signing along with Gosling have turned out to be hopeless punts at picking players on a free and then get some value into them and sell them on. Yeah but it happens. Gosling has done close to fuck all, and Amalfitano has done precisely fuck all. Maybe we really meant to move for Morgan but fucked it up somehow?

But you can't criticise them for that! It's journalism, not politics. What do their views and actions have to do with anything? If you express your opinion on their behaviour you're basically oppressing them, stop it. How is journalism and politics not directly linked? The profession was created and continues to be used to influence public opinion! SAFC is a privately owned company and they can ban whoever they like from their press conferences. Once again, I don't deny that the club has brought this s*** storm on itself. Whether they intended to do that or not, they're now scrambling to try and deal with it. As long as they do that without breaking any laws, then so what? Football influences public opinion! It probably influences public opinion more than every leaflet put through every bloody door in the country! The very fact that this debate is going on is evidence that it's not 'so what', people have a pretty non-controversial opinion that they don't want a fascist manager in the premier league and people are trying to imply they can't hold that opinion because it somehow infringes on the rights of others for reasons I can't quite pin down. Paolo Di Canio has the right to be a fascist, other people have the right to believe he's a f***ing c*** for holding those views and they will continue to say so. Not going to disagree with that at all. However, PL or L2, it shouldn't matter imo. He'll be in as much of a role model position to kids growing up in Sunderland as he was for kids growing up in Swindon. But there's a lot of kids that follow the premier league and know the name and personality of every manager in it. How many could name Swindon's current manager, and know what kind of person he is to be allowed to hold that position? And this is what I completely disagree with. If this was a true campaign to protect the values of a democratic nation, it wouldn't matter how high profile the club he's taken charge of was. It's like saying a few civilian casualties in war torn country are less important than a celebrity that's been killed by a drunk driver. It's just not right imo.

I genuinely don't even understand why this question has to be asked. There'd be more outrage if Nick Griffin became a member of cabinet then if he became MP. There'd be more outrage on here if a jihadi sympathiser was the CEO of Amazon than if he was the boss of a haulage firm in Kent. There'd be more outrage on here if someone with extreme views took over North Tyneside council than if they took over somewhere in London or France. Proximity and the high-profile or otherwise nature of the position, it's no real mystery. We've had a thread on the mackems sicne the board was opened, go have a look in the Swindon thread to see if it was discussed there. as so it's not the principle then, it's the heightened level of publicity that's bothering people and the fact it's sunderland just wanted to know Spot on.

Definitely. As much as I'd love for them to disappear into oblivion, they're not going anywhere for now. Might as well keep the pressure on a team below us. Wins for QPR, Stoke, Chelsea and NUFC and I'll be delighted.
