Fuck me. One month When it’s put into that context it really does just blow your mind man. Club potentially fucked for a generation because of the incompetencies of the last few weeks

It’s opening already?! Good stuff. Was fucking rotten the last time I went in about 4 years ago

Anybody who continues going to the games after this appointment deserve everything they fucking get. I shall proudly take the moral high ground after every humiliating defeat that they continue to go to.

As if we ever thought that smiley would be required again... Only this time we'll be using it against ourselves.

Was he actually a pie salesman?

I honestly think Bruce will say no and we'll get Pardew

You are missing the point though, it's an appointment to ensure there won't be any protests. For every fan who has half a brain, there will be four who will give Bruce some rope because he's a local and 'will know what this club is about.' It's genius actually, not only will Ashley kill the Rafa protests, he'll get to have a good laugh at our expense as well! Surely fans aren't that thick? I'm sorry but they can't be

Genuinely (un)believable. Swiftly turned down by potentially decent names in Arteta and Vieira - so they've gone with the tried and tested method of Pardew, Carver and McLaren - they all ended well didn't they.

Deary me

I think the worst thing has to be that the transfer window now shuts at the beginning of the season. We’ll know how fucked we are after one game

Why not log back in as Odin? - I miss him posting under that user name. D. Yimentov Fooling no one frankly I'm not Odin. He's a little slug compared to me. And if you want to keep slinging petty accusations, name any pub car park between Cramlington and Birtley and I'll meet you there, man on man. But I'm warning you, I'm big and I'm hard .

Amazing

What's our lowest PL attendance since the extension of L7?

Do you think a lot of it could also be modern football? I feel like a hell of a lot has changed in the last 10 years tbh - and for worse. I was watching an episode of the Likely Lads the other day. The way they talk about football in that period (72-74) fills me with envy tbh. It must have been amazing to be involved in at the time. I always think of the '74 cup semi and final. The amount of fans turning up to SJP even though we'd lost! It just seems a time that is ancient history. A different type of player, generally a different type of player. A different football club.

FFS Believable though...

Well, that's that then. One of the most important periods in the club's history and Wraith has managed to cock it up

He may have thought we'd not down tools. We haven't in the past... KK, Shearer, Hughton going. Kinnear and Pardew coming in. Sports Direct Arena. Why would he think this time would be any different? We've been mugs for 11 years.

No strikers. No manager. Lookin' goooooood

Do people think every major revolution in History happened because people just continued following the status quo? Imagine France in 1789 or Russian in 1917. 'I'm so sick of that bloody King. We should do something about it.' 'Yeah, I agree! Maybe if we revolt and tell him we're not going to put up with this s*** anymore we might get change. Heck! If they still won't listen, we'll get rid of him altogether and chop off his head! 'Na. On second thought. We'll just complain a bit but still pay our taxes when called upon and hopefully our murmuring of discontent will make them listen' 'Yeah, that might work actually. It hasn't worked for the last 500 years but I'm sure we're due a bit of good fortune soon!' THE END. :rant: :rant:

Your face on the Sunderland question man. We now you'd have said yes given the chance...

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you wouldn't

Not sure if serious. Worked with him years ago at NUFC. He’s a nice guy and a vey good coach. Of course, shouldn’t be leading 1st team training mind

This wins the internet for the day

Surely there would have to be a vote for a 'Trust President' or whatever. Perhaps a 2 year term. Then people can stop bitching and moaning as to who is the face of the Trust, so to speak
