26 pts.

23 pts on the bench 

I dare not even have a look at my score this week. If I get more than 25 I'll be shocked

We're currently 2 points off safety, I don't think it's really cut-and-dry that we'll go down.

 

Of course it isn't. Absolute madness to say so. There are 28 games left ffs. f*** knows what's gonna happen.

 

If your feeling is that we're gonna go down, I'm not gonna argue it as such, but I'll reserve my right to sit on the fence at this point.

Howay man. If you don't shout that we're shit and going down with 28 games left and have a shit defence and center midfield until you're blue in the face, it means you're not a true fan, and it means you don't want ashley out, and are happy to continue to bend over and take it up the arse by the cockney mafia.

Only in football does a paedophile not get his comeuppance. He'll be having a great night while us non-fiddlers are crushed.

English football.

Can't believe he's young. He looks 50 years old. Also who the hell is he? How did he get a high pressure game like this with no experience? The Premiership is corrupt for sure. It will come out eventually just like it has with Fifa, Platini et al.

This. Can't fucking wait.

Easy to look at the ridiculous refereeing decisions like, but this carries on for as long as Ashley's here really. All the little reasons during matches are just insignificant sidenotes to the fact that the identity of our club and the idea of any club, but in this case our's, has been completely gutted from the inside out to the extent that the quagmire has engulfed our own fanbase and our identity as fans is supporting something because it bears a name and nothing more.

 

There's no real desire to compete from owner to chairman, to staff, players and fans. Players that do are touted to bigger clubs by the media and our own club alike, fans that do are told they're deluded by the media, other fans and our own fans - such has Ashley stamped his identity upon NUFC.

 

Other fans seem to wear failure as a badge of honour, as if to only prove their endurance for being relentlessly lied to, sold to, mocked and then asked for help in the form of not protesting, so that it doesn't 'affect the players' who by in quality and quantity alone are just one byproduct of why the atmosphere is so s*** in the first place. People now go into derbies just not wanting to be embarrassed. That alone is f***ing embarrassing and it's only something that goes unnoticed because it's gradual. That outlook in 2008 would have been laughed at and it should be now.

 

Our identity as a club has almost entirely gone like. This is the one we have now, I don't see the one we had anywhere at any level.

That's been generally the case for Ashley's entire tenure yes, but can you honestly say that we weren't clearly the better side today? The players were up for it, AND played football. We were miles better than the shit we were served up in the previous 5 defeats. It was nowhere the near the non-descript performances under al pards and carver.

One poor refereeing decision doesn't explain 3-0 ffs. Sixth loss in a row to these c***s.

 

I'm sorry… but how doesn't it? A red card is a game changing decision.

 

Hughesy: Blaming Mike Williamson (and others) for Coloccini being utterly s*** since 2013.

Why have you always got to be so f***ing antagonistic?

It's the Ronaldo brand.

f***ing walk McLaren.

 

How is this his fault? The ref turned the game all by himself. Without that red card we'd probably still have won.

Don;t talk sense. It's not as if we've absolutely controlled this match from start to finish and have been fucked over by a bent ref.

Fuck off english football. More corrupt than the greeks and the south americans. Unreal. i hope the whole thing burns down in a massive fire.

Only consolation is that these are definitely going down. They are absolutely wank.

Why the fuck does Wijnaldum disappear like this ffs.

Dummett is a total liability at LB.

Yedlin is fucking shit.

Anyone who blames him for that is a f***ing c***.

This.

Absolute disgrace. Fucking seething. Sick and tired of the refs being as bent as cops. Disgusting league, bottling officials. Fuck off. No pen, no red.

All the best Brummie

Allardyce hasn't approached any of his old staff, Neil McDonald used to do a hell of a lot of the behind the scenes work at West Ham yet Bracewell has been given the job. No idea what Short has told Allardyce but if things don't start well, don't expect them to improve.

I always got the impression that he did f*** all. He has so much backroom staff that in the end the only job left was to sit on the dugout during the game and take interviews. To be honest I think he knows this is his last job, no one is going to want him anymore.

Yup. In addition to making lots of signings for his favorite agent or two...

Dummett over Haidara for me for aerial ability. It's Sunderland's best hope. That and turning into a kicking fest.

 

I think our attacking players have enough to score against them without help from LB. Janmaat can do his usual thing from RB because his end product is far better than what we'll get from LB.

 

 

Aye.  They're going to be lumping balls into our box every chance they get and Dummett is far better suited than Haidara whose had some real stinkers so far this season.  Out of the two, Dummett is the better defender.

Problem with that is if Dummett defends too narrow, we could well be leaving their crossers unmarked. Really need to get pressing out wide to stop that shit. The Norwich game was ridiculous in this respect.

Great interview. Thanks VI. Much appreciated.

Saw the title, thought he had a brother and wondered what the f*** could he have done to get to 132 pages so fast.

No you f***ing didn't

It's not so bad, tbh. It's not like the World Cup would ever be in a place like...Oh.

Yeah. That Russia/Qatar double-decision was an insult to the game tbh. I don't usually support US interference with matters that don't concern it, but I wholeheartedly hope they out the fuck out of Blatter and that entire cartel this time round. They all belong behind bars for a long long time.

Agreed. If you have a look online, there's been similar incidents down the years :-(

Yup. And all FIFA can do is squibble about who's going to rob the most money out of the game. Football is just a cesspool at the moment and I can't wait for it to implode on itself.

We all know that there is a huge problem in Eastern Europe when it comes to racism and anti-senitsim. It goes back hundreds of years. :-( Uefa will do f*** all, but imagine if a similar thing happened over here?

Aye, but there's a massive difference between having a racist opinion, and beating the fuck out of someone in plain sight because of it.

Why were Man City fans booing the Champions League anthem last night?

 

Because UEFA fined them over FFP.

I'm sure Sheikh Mansour cried into his Special K over the amount

Christ almighty. Not good. Bet some of the Chelsea supporters and John Terry felt right at home!

It's times like this when football should just fucking stop. If indeed this was a racially motivated attack, the arseholes should be locked up for a long time. It's time all of football came down hard on racists and supremacists of any kind. Dynamo should be thrown out of the CL and heavily fined. Probably nowt to do with the club, but it's the only way clubs will start taking this shit seriously. It's 2015 ffs. Loathsome cunts.
