We've landed on our feet with this bloke.

He signed with a contract that would allow him to leave should we get relegated. Both parties agreed. This was always on the cards. It's the destination that's the problem though.

Would be better with a Paypal option if it can be done.

Great news and well done to everyone involved.

Good chance of a bidding war if that happens.

Most of his sub appearances were probably at left back.

How did it go then? Too busy signing players to have a meeting about flags i guess.

Avoidable?

Townsend has just bought a house in the area, a cunning plan to hide the fact he's leaving.

:lol:

Cant wait for the World cup in Russia. The game's a fucking mess.

Is that directly below the away fans / an attempt to hush them up? Isn't it the corner bit between the Leazes and the Milburn?

Lovely cute little Mongrel

Aye everyone around here always wants to discuss Rafa and tell us how lucky we have it (as if we didn't know already). Was out walking the dog the other day and spoke to this bloke who got it when I told him my dogs name was Shola - we then had a chat for Christ knows how long just talking about how unreal he is. Black Lab?

Wish he would get something wrong, just to prove he's human.

They're just preparing themselves for a new raft of excuses for why we will, yet again, be the best supported club in the North East. Their pain must be unimaginable.

Aye, its fucking weird!

Their obsession with Newcastle Airport is bizarre to say the least. If an airport is so important to them surely they'd be better off going after Durham Tees Valley as nobody else seems to want that one. It's anything with the word "Newcastle" in it. About a third of Sunderland has a Newcastle post code.

The second bit is bollocks.

We'll soon be able to add "biggest crowds in the North East even in the championship" though.

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for them now.

Not really difficult like.

Its bollocks, I remember the sameoutlets writing articles about how we where financially f***ed a few eeks before the end of the season as we had players on big money without any relegation clauses. Nah, I'm sure that was to do with wages. No clauses were put in Shelveys/Townsends contracts to reduce their salary in the event of relegation. Its been widely reported Townsend does have a release clause though It would be insanity to have an £8m release clause for a player we paid £12m for 6 months ago. Mike Ashley doesn't do insanity clauses.

Admittedly there is a very specific type of black person who would be offended by this - that would be the pseudo-militant, faux-Panther type who has most likely grown up in middle class surburbia. But you're right, I don't know anyone with half a brain who would be offended by this in any way whatsoever. And as I said, it actually does black people a disservice by conflating the very real issue of racism with incredibly trivial musings. Many white people live their lives looking for opportunities to be offended on behalf of ethnic minorities. I assume they have nothing better to do in their lives.

Develop a limp and use the lift!
