He's just scored a 90th minute winner Ibrahimovic that is. They were 0-3 down.

Big result for Shields today winning and Hyde getting beat. They look nailed on for the title now. Can see them making easy work of the Premier next season too.

Yeah that's nonsense.

Our current odds of relegation with the bookies range from 40/1 to 100/1

Fuck we playing at.

Kachunga was down for a good 2 mins.

5 is fair IMO. I'd have said 4 but there was a lot of stoppages.

5 minuti

As if we won't fuck this up

Unless Birmingham can take 6-7 points from their next 3 they'll stay up.

Yeah that's them staying up. Oh well.

How bad are Derby? fucking hell

This is vile

He was a PL midfielder between around 2005 and 2011. I can only guess you started following the PL properly after that? He developed a cultish personality for himself thanks to zany and 'hilarious' on-pitch antics that would always be highlighted on Soccer AM. This has inevitably led to him forging something of a Z list celebrity status since he retired. Being fair, there was a spell where he played to a decent level and made the England squad. However watching him on Soccer AM's 'You Know The Drill' on Youtube, I can see where he comes from in thinking he stole a living. Some of the videos he struggles with the most basic of training drills.

August 9th deadline is gonna be a nightmare with a month of World Cup football as well.

A cruciate injury can kill any players' career tbf. Especially considering so much of his game was dribbling and pace.

That's just pretty much completely wrong. Just because you chose to eat at steakhouses and pancake places doesn't make that the only food options in a country with 52 states and 300 million people from pretty much every corner of the planet. I'm really struggling to see why this point has become so debated. It's not even a remotely controversial statement.

It all just meldges in to one huge lump tbh. It was like a competition. They opened it in 1997 at 40k, we expanded in 1998 from 36 to 52, so they expanded again up to nearly 49 in 2000. Hence their ground is a fair whack too big now, even when they were getting 40k. But it made sense for both clubs at the time if you look back at the trajectory of the teams and the crowds. Yeah true. The first season they finished 7th with Quinn and Phillips it was actually difficult to get tickets for Sunderland games. So they expanded and tbf in the next 7th place season they averaged 47k. That fell to 44k and then 36k for the 19 point season. They overshot based on what was a wave at the time. But both clubs were ambitious and optimistic. It was a far better era for North East football, especially when you also consider Boro.

I'm surprised people don't know this stuff. I'm born 93 and even I knew they built SoS before we expanded SJP.

It's the 2016/17 season. This season isn't on there yet.

Yup. Although the likes of Arsenal were maxed out at 38k at Highbury. http://www.worldfootball.net/attendance/eng-premier-league-1998-1999/1/ http://european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/sund.htm Also again the following season until we expanded.

They don't help themselves like do they. I've been along to watch the Heed only once in my time. Was a good standard, but in all honesty so long as they're at the athletics track I probably won't be back along. If NUFC aren't playing and I fancy something else I'll pretty much always rather go along to a NL game where for 1/3 of the price you can stand next to the pitch. At the moment the Heed don't fill a niche as a good professional team nor as an intimate non-league side, instead occupying a grey area in between, which IMO goes a long way to explaining their poor crowds.
