For fuck sake, I've just realised that its only for one season this strip!! Another plan of Ashley's to squeeze all our money out of us. I'll still end up buying it though...

Love the front but the backs a pain in the ass. If it had red numbers then it'd be class.

Nope. Wasn't at the match.

OMG jammy cunts!

Who the hell are an Irish newspaper to talk about what the English Premiership needs? Do English papers talk about which clubs 'should' be in the Spanish, Italian, Etc. leagues? Talk about your own shitty league. Some of the worst plastic fans come from Ireland. Their league is s*** so they support an English team (while possibly 'hating' the English). I wonder how many of the Irish Sunderland fans still exist now Keane is gone? I know mate. In Ireland the only teams that are spoken about are the "top 4" . At a push Villa, Man City and Spurs. Last year it was disgusting, tbh. All over the shops they were full with scum jerseys etc and all over the tele it was Keano, Quinny and the mackems (even tho they were doing shit). Everyone either supported the mackems or had them as their 2nd team, yet no one knew/knows what the word 'mackem' means. Pathetic. But this season no one ever talks about them- their just another club. No one wears the shirts anymore either. Its all because Keano ran away... As for the Irish League- well I follow it and go to games often and its not great but the hardcore fans are great supporters, imo. But people over here totally neglect the league and just go and support Man Utd or Liverpool. The highest attendance you we'd see is around 4-5k. Plus, all the teams are going bust. Financially there's little or no stability and in the last 4 or 5 consecutive seasons all the winners have gone into financial trouble and potential ruin.....one of them already relegated. Btw, there's 10 teams in the Premier Division!

Always look on the Wearside for shite?

I know. Muppet. Another gem: Funny how despite our drought of silverware we've still won more than Leeds. Ever.

Absolutely super article!! Its so well written and such thought and research added in. So refreshing. Much better than this pathetic, bitter piece of bullshit!! : http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/sport/2009/0420/1224245022587.html

Just did the predictor: 16. NEWCASTLE Pts- 38 17. Sunderland Pts- 36 ------------------------------- 18. Hull Pts- 35 19. Boro Pts- 32 20. West Brom Pts- 26 I had us down to beat Pompey 1-0, Boro 2-0, and draw with Fulham 1-1 and Villa 2-2! Very optimistic but you never know...

For a few months now I've been having visions of us getting relegated on the last day of the season at Villa Park. I cant believe how real that thought is....

What was that he once said after that game in 2003 when we beat them? They'd been denied a goal in the last minute and he said after the match "The big clubs always get the decisions"

I'm feeling nervous just thinking about the match, tbh. It wont get off my fucking mind!!!

Na... Lets let Neil decide..

From BBC: That was during our match yesterday.

Retro as fuck. I like it.

It really isn't a priority right now. Aye, I know that, but I'm always interested to see our new strips. I know what you mean though...

When the heck are we gonna see any sort of previews for it? Normally we've seen nearly all of it by now (with those 'strip tease' things the club insist on doing). I'm getting impatient.

My god I'd it yer hand off for 17th place right now! I'd try and avoid surviving by goal difference, I really would, but at this stage I'll take it.

Aye - complete miserable feckers. That's a great shame.....it used to be one of the most ferocious stands in the country. They still are to be honest, a bit quieter nowadays though. The South East Corner tends to generate the Gallowgate atmosphere. I was just trying to get a bite... Unlucky...

The amount of times Birmingham have been shown this year we're guaranteed to be shown lots if we go down.

Lets hope St.James' is a cauldron of noise and a bear pit which spurs the lads on to a way overdue win. We need to make it as intimidating as possible for the ref and the opposition.

I couldn't disagree more.

Anything less than a point will see us down.

Shit atmosphere at the semi final

9. We have to win our remaining home games to stay up, but I just cant see us doing that.
