I don't think the club subsidise it. I think Nexus spot that 50k people come into town every other week and think they'd rather get 20,000 people paying £1 a game rather than nowt.

Club comment on Colback departure. After the announcement that Jack Colback has signed for Newcastle United, SAFC has issued the following statement: “Jack is a player we have nurtured and developed through our academy system since he was eight years old. We gave him the opportunity to become a professional footballer and are therefore extremely disappointed in the events that have led to his departure from the club. “This wasn’t about money - the club agreed to all of the terms demanded of us during discussions and we were always led to believe that Jack wanted to stay with us. At his and his representatives’ request, final talks were put on hold until the club secured its top flight status. To our dismay however, we were subsequently never given the chance to negotiate with him to stay. “For him to then leave the club that has supported him throughout his formative years in such a manner, with no chance for Sunderland to recover any of the significant investment that it has made in him as a player, has left a bitter taste."

Tough as hell to make signings when you're at the F1.

Isn't that the same Blanc who fell out with Ben Arfa and can't stand him? point well missed sir No, saw your point, but also pointing out that said 'real fucking manager' has made the same mistake with Ben Arfa as our shit manager. WHolly agree with your point, disagree with your example is all.

Surely that bloke has created a message for his pal Stuart Allison, saying hello to him from Pardew? As much as I despise the bloke, there's no way Pardew would have created that himself man.

Real Sociadad. ZzzZzzzzzzzzz

John Terry at Discovery Cove in Orlando.

Club accounts said 22m iirc which contradicted their 35m claim or whatever it was.

Are you going to the Roma game on Friday? I will be working that night so I won't be able to make it. Shame. I've managed to get it scheduled into my holiday plans haha. Think many will be there?

Are you going to the Roma game on Friday?

Going to Disney next week for a couple of weeks. I think a trip to watch Orlando City vs AS Roma next Friday is in order.

Western Sydmey Wanderers. A club formed two years ago because western sydneysiders wanted their own team and didn't like the city boys of Sydney fc. They reached the A-League grand final and lost in extra time. Afterwards their chairman released this statement

"The face pony" - I genuinely fucking love this. Incroyable, mon amis.

No because you agreed to the terms when you started the contract, so there's no get out. You can cancel, but you'll lose what you've spent already.

The "number of games attended by nufc.com" soopafan-o-meter.

Keegan leading a consortium to buy the club would be the greatest thing to happen to the club in my lifetime.

Time for a dossier?

Was knocked unconscious after dropping a goalpost in February.

The exposure is diluted if it's not done in a gaudy manner.

He completely and utterly ripped off my Mackem Boom Bust Cycle as well, and fobbed me off when I complained. The tossbag.

@hydefclive: @LFC I suppose now isn't a good time to ask about a pre season friendly ? Will email you Friday instead. :-(

Compare and contrast to this statement from the owner of Western Sydney Wanderers FC, after they lost the A-League grand final yesterday. To put it into perspective, their club was only formed 2 years ago after a decade of campaigning for the club to be initiated into the A-League:
