this is gold

I think they'll sell the club, from a player perspective, along the lines of..............join us for a couple of years and look where you could end up..........Carroll went to Liverpool on over £100k per week, Cabaye to PSG for big dollar...............these guys are living the dream based on a couple of good seasons for us. We'll move you up a level and won't stand in your way should a big bid come in. Effectively, we're a shop window, and in the fickle world of footballers some are probably very grateful for the increase in wages, profile and to get the chance for their big move. Sad times. This. It's not just how we sell ourselves to players though, its our operating principle. Constantly gambling on these unproven cheap players being good enough & committed enough to keep us out of the shit for another year before they move on and another unknown quantity comes in. To compound the risk involved we're doing this with a manager who has no track record for developing& improving players. I'm not sure what the gambling analogy would be, maybe betting on a horse then tying it's tail to a nearby pardew-shaped plank of wood?!?. But one day it's going to all end in tears when we fill the squad with shit players who are actually just happy to sit here picking up wages for 3 years while we go crashing through the divisions ignoring Pardew whose tactics/coaching still consists of telling them to run around lots, get in their faces etc.

As funny as it was to see Shola sent off, I do wonder how many times he has been in that exact same situation with a Rooney or a Gerrard who won't stop screaming at him, and backed down without a wimper.

Load of guff that. They lost to Chelsea at home and drew with a team in brilliant form away on the back of a crazy amount of wins. The big bottle that history should remember is Fergie gifting it to Citeh when seven points ahead (same games played) with seven games to go. Ferk, they were even 4-2 up against Everton with ten minutes to go when it all started going pear-shaped. It doesn't fit the big Fergie narrative though, so all we get is Keegan and possibly from next season Brendan Rogers. Lets brand them losers instead. Just as a parallel, Clarence Seedorf may have won the CL four times, but he was also in the Milan side that threw the game away in Instanbul. s*** can happen to anyone. Yep. He threw it away to Arsenal in 1998 as well. 13 points too wasn't it. Anyway, last night reminded me of something but I just can't put my finger on it. Away fans who haven't seen their team win the league in decades devastated having just chucked away crucial points being taunted by home fans who are nowhere near the title race. Shit now I remember- it was Anfield in 1996. Suck it up bitches.

I saw that from a distance, loads of stewards were coming up from elsewhere in the ground to have a go at him. The daft thing is he is completely harmless he just likes to do silly things and have a bit of an audience for the ensuing mock argument with the stewards. He always goes without a fight and reasonably politely with a smile on his face. Putting hands on him when he was walking out peacefully from a professional security point of view was just moronic. Especially in such a charged atmosphere. Didn't see it fully myself but was this the guy who as being lead out started doing one armed press ups?... My friends who saw it said it was hilarious... That's the one

Lad a few rows back from me, known for being a bit of a 'character' in the Gallowgate. Stood up and walked off on 60 mins. Less than 5 mins later there's a bit of a commotion in the Milburn and lo and behold the daft bastard has somehow managed make his way round and is stood next to the fence 20 or so seats from Ashley making 'fat bastard' gestures etc before being led away by 2 stewards (who he is lecturing about something with grandiose gestures etc) we were crying with laughter then at the SW corner 1 of them swung at him causing a ruckus with fans who were on the way out for the second walkout jumping in on the stewards to look after him. He might not be back next season!!!

Safc contacted Bilbao about 15 years ago and told them of the supposed link. Bilbao knew nothing about it Read more: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/who-based-their-kit-on-sunderland-in-spain.912377/#ixzz30T7wFxLP What a brilliant phone call that must have been, hopefully made by the mackem kinnear. 'Eyer fernandew it's peyter from sun'land. We're your best marra's ye knaa, can wey have a pre-seyson friendly or sumat.' 'Who are you?' 'Yewer long lost brothers on weyerside, send us a teym pennant will yer?' 'Leave us alone and don't call again. Crazy engleesh.'

Pardew's interview on SSN Sat there smirking throughout. Bell-end. 'He trained with a different group to that which I trained with.' Just talk properly you prick. 'It's not about Hatem, it's not about me.' Bullshit. It is always about you.

I think it's also to do with one being a PL club and one being a FL club. On paper the two organisations have different and separate rules and regulations. In practice, the FL has in the past docked points for fielding ineligible players and applies this consistently. On the other hand after the West Ham fiasco in 2007 I don't see how the PL will ever be able to dock points for fielding ineligible players, especially in this case with it being a much less serious offence.

That was a very long advantage to bring back for a pen. Three seconds max, no? (plus, it was outside the box anyway) Still a red either way mind- you can wait until the ball goes out before giving a red if you see fit, similar to when refs wave play on then come back to book a player a minute later. And a horrendous piece of defending all round.

The team celebrations every time they get a decision from the ref man :lol: Swear Colback had two team-mates high five him for falling over halfway through that. Cardiff just look appalling mind- proper Sunday league.

They'll win today, think it'll go down to the last day regarding survival.

I know they've already wrapped up their league and all but Koln look overpriced at 11/8, away at lower mid-table Ingolstadt who are pretty much safe and with not a lot to play for themselves and who have a better away record than home. cheeky double with sheff Utd 13\10

Fml. I thought this was a joke thread. Its not. can they not just release the man Utd away game on dvd instead?

Genuinely beyond words. ?!?! The whole thread seems to have started from a post on a Liverpool message board about noise at the SOL during the minute's silence, and how this post must have been written by a shit-stirring mag as nothing of the sort happened. Only 3 days ago the same posters were all discussing a SAFC fan making noise from their south stand during the minute's silence and what a mong he was. It's like every night when RTG goes to sleep they collectively press the 'reset' button on any short-medium term memories and start again from fresh when they wake up. Would explain the usual thought process-"I know I'll call him a f**king mag- don't recall anyone using that insult here before."

Half of the thick cunts probably think the photo is actually of our posters. And as for 'that fowerum is reyalley embarrassing leyk'- fuck me son. Probably not enough pointless swearing/threats of random violence for his taste?!?

always wondered how it would play out if one of them ever called out 'Magcatcherhutch' on writing like a retard. Lots of swearing and non-specific threats of violence it seems- aka business as usual!!!

Or, depending how you look at it, an opportunity for a long weekend away on the lash, in Bournemouth's case with the added attraction of a ground the vast majority won't have seen the toon play at before. Think glass half full You just know our away fixture would be one of the few selected for midweek. True. Or changed to Monday night at the last minute.

In answer to the OP, in order of preference: Bournemouth would look like a good weekend away, I know some toon fans who live down there that I normally only see about once a season, and, importantly, would without doubt fill 1 of the relegation spots. Wigan is a decent day out on the lash with very cheap beer even if the match is normally dogshit. Never been to Forest so would be favourable towards them but imo they will struggle to make the play-offs anyway. Derby is not too far away and convenient being on the cross-country mainline, if not the most pleasant place/people. Probably wouldn't bother with Ipswich or QPR again personally, but might change my mind if they come up and I'm not working that weekend. And Reading/Brighton can fuck right off!!!

boro is like sunderland with the nice bit(s??) taken out.

sunderland have scored more goals at St James' Park in 2014 than Newcastle. It's April. This is actually amazing. Is there an ultimate prize from the Guinness book of Records? Pards is in with a shout. He'll be on for a lifetime achievement award at this rate. He fucking loves records for being shit does 'Pards.'

Did this happen? Not trying to be contrary, just asking. Wasn't at the match tbf but was reported by nufc.com and I have personally never found them to be ones for overly-exaggerating. There was a definite change in the attitude of a lot of the strawberry corner on Saturday when santon went over to applaud at the end while Anita and Coloccini made half-arsed attempts at following/ watching and the rest sloped off to the tunnel. General swearing, shouting, flicking v's and wanker signs while he looked shocked and made apologetic gestures. Can sense patience wearing thin.
