Stifler

I’d gardening leave him for the rest of his contract. I’m sorry but we need to make an example. Man Utd are club that we’ll leave behind, if you think you are going there instead of being with us then you are going there when they dead and fucking buried. It’s like when Fergie would only sell us his shot, not a chance he would let his good players come to us. We got their used goods like Butt, and Obertan

Surely it will be done so we can get something for him in the summer, and worse case scenario we have someone as back up.

I’m not so sure about that though. I said earlier in this thread, it’s alright going to Man Utd with big plans, but Man Utd aren’t going to be building up players who need to develop. Their fans now demand the big stars, they don’t care that kid A from some unknown French club will be mint in 5 years time, they will want Mbappe now, then kid A in 5 years time. The owners, especially the Glazers if they hang around will want that as well. Big names sell shirts, they get the tourists coming through the gate instead of going 5 miles across the city of Manchester. That’s why Ronaldo came back. Also from my point of view, the very best job he’ll do at Man Utd is re-establish the status quo that we have had since the 50’-60’s. At Newcastle he could change the face of football.

I’m surprised an MLS team are not after him to be honest.

I’ve bought a hospitality seat for the Portsmouth match, despite only having 1 booking reference, they appear to have given me 2 different tickets. Is that normal?

Are you watching? Are you watching? Are you watching North Shields?

Still had to pay for the tickets, a reduced price fair enough, but they went fast.

Can’t wait for when this locked Premier League inevitably comes along, and Palace are locked in to stay forever, with their 2 banners, and a guy with a fucking drum.

Forever giving relegation shite hope.

The only game they care about is next Monday.

Why didn’t the keeper dive for it?

I got offered a place at Sunderland uni, I ended up going to Northumbria. I looked into my UCAS email account that I created after I had graduated from Northumbria, and I was still getting emails from them offering free tickets. If I had access to the account still, I wonder if I’d still be getting those emails.

The lack of wider support for them is a glaring issue that they refuse to acknowledge. I’m not going to sit here and say that they don’t have their share of loyal fans, because they do, I even went to uni with one of them. However they overestimate their support. For example I remember when those two chancers owned their club, and they had realised that they were exactly that. The Euro millions topped £200m at the time and they posed the question of if they won, would they buy the club, which at the time was for sale for about £30m-£50m. Each one of the said that they wouldn’t. So at the time they thought their club was going bust, but if someone put £200m into their account they wouldn’t give £50m to save their club. At the same time there was rumours of the supporters consortium starting up to save and buy shares off Ashley for NUFC and although that wouldn’t have been enough to buy the club, I would certainly have put £100m or so into the pot for us to buy NUFC off him. It’s alright saying you support your club through thick and thin, but it’s no good if even in a hypothetical scenario you have millions beyond your means and you still wouldn’t put in to save your club, never mind only going to games when you can walk into the reception at Sunderland Uni/Sunderland Council/local school, and pick up a free ticket.

Cast your mind back to us 3 years ago.

Nah.

Any point in watching this tonight? I’d imagine this will be a routine win for Chelsea.

Because Alonso is going to Liverpool.

It wouldn’t apply for the Blackburn game though, would it?

Aye. I don’t know the tactics or can read a play, but I know the basic rules and game reasonably understand what is happening.

Fuck sake, sickening bastards.

Shall I send out my Ellie cat, or my Bennie cat to deal with it?

Aye but in their defence they are looking at how the Premier League are clamping down on us as soon as a journalist says we are linked with either a player, or a sponsorship deal, they vote to block it. I think Villa are aware of this, and are not wanting to pop their heads up incase they go after them as well.

I think Villa are like us, they don’t really agree with it, but they are less likely to want to rock the boat. Palace love it, but for them, and for Villa, the proposed stadium infrastructure being included in your costs, fucks them over. It was only a few weeks ago that Palace had agreed to buy a car park off Sainsbury’s so they could build their new stand, it’s currently in the tender process. Villa have had to put the brakes on their stadium improvements, despite them citing they want fans in if they get into the Champions League, I doubt that’s the reason.

Aye, I honestly think we’ll get the Super League, but we’ll end up with a closed Premier League. Americans owning loads of teams now, not just the top 6. People like Parish at Palace will be happy to be locked in to the money, plus also being able to sell Palace if they are on the right side of the relegation line when it comes into play. The Premier League will be looking at what the NFL are doing and want to have a piece of that. Bigger TV money, a Premier League online store where they sell merchandise from all the clubs directly, even games abroad. The European teams will end up wanting to do similar and it will be go either way if they just end up replacing the Champions League, or if it’s in place of their domestic leagues.

I still fancy us to give them a good game at OT later in the season. We could do the triple over them this season.
