"One for sorrow" is a decent slogan for Mike Ashley's NUFC. I'll be disappointed if we change the badge, 1) cos the current badge is beautiful and attached to many happy memories, 2) feels like we're aimlessly following the latest trend, and 3) clubs are doubtless changing to these circle designs to reduce their manufacturing costs or for some wanky brand bullshit.

That was the green and navy blue one, think it was hastily introduced after the Sheff Wed home game where both sides wore their away kits. Anyone know if that was the one and only league game we've ever played at SJP in an away kit?

Was "Who Let The Dogs Out?", different interpretations of why that was: https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/steve-bruces-song.569441/ https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/sunderland-manager-steve-bruce-wants-3335713

Was this a bit like that Tim Vine football quiz that was on telly then?

What was this?

I know Maddison has been out of form but I still think he's very unlucky not to be getting a look-in.

Less points won at the top and bottom of the league has meant more to go around in the "middle", innit. Although I'd point out that Man City's total is about normal for PL winners, it's the last few years that have been abnormal with 2 teams getting towards 100 points.

Sez yee fucking re-spawning every ten minutes after bans, instantly recognisable due to thick AF takes on absolutely everything.

'We’ll never say it’s an achievement to finish 12th for a club of our stature, but it’s an achievement'

Has a face for the radio tbf to the fat horrible mess.

Ask yourself how much you really know about other PL also-rans and also ask yourself how confident you'd be spouting your opinion on their situation. It's the English disease in a nutshell, scores of people loudly pontificating on stuff they know absolutely fuck-all about.

was higher than that in fucking 1996.

That drunk radgie seems dead canny tbh

I'm jealous of Leicester full stop. If I could pick any side to support the last five years it would be them. All they do is sell and buy sensibly and let people who know what they're doing make the decisions, so frustrating that Ashley thinks he's too smart or edgy to do the same.

"sad mackem bastard" n'all He'll be gutted, his fridge won't know what's hit it this evening.

Allardyce still claiming he plays scintillating football ffs.

Before the match, Bruce declared he wasn't worried about having crowds back. After 11 minutes the crowd chanted: “Steve Bruce, he's got a big fat head.” After 12 minutes, Rafa Benitez's name was sung and then demanded Mike Ashley “get out of our club.”

fucking hate him

Honestly if that game gets called off, man I've wanted to get 100 points in a week on FF for ages now and am currently sat on 99 with 5 players potentially playing this evening

My take is that Bruce realises that he's got away with it massively this season and next season he might not be so lucky. Especially now fans and some players clearly hate him. He wants his pay-off without having to deal with fans IRL next season. In his head he deserves it, achieved what his boss asked for and can leave with his fat stupid head held high. I'd honestly have a small slither of respect for him if he walked away without a pay-off but there's absolutely no chance. Like all PFMs he's a self-obsessed, money-obsessed conman with no integrity or genuine passion for the game beyond what he can get out of it for himself.

Thought he was big enough to take criticism as that's what he keeps telling everyone. Weird.

Love these Friday night fixtures that clash with Gogglebox as there is only one winner there.

No

He seemed nice.
