With regard to Newcastle, strikes me as somewhat odd that he signed Bolton players and was signing players he had initially planned to sign for Bolton. He was also sacked during a period where Chris Mort and his team we auditing all of the clubs accounts and business dealings. His only signing from Bolton for us was Abdoulaye Faye. Nolan was signed by Kinnear a year after he'd gone. These were his signings for us... http://www.nufc.com/2016-17html/transfers-allardyce.html

Thats after last nights results. Win tonight and we could go back to 3rd??!! Still too early to be panicking yet, IMO.

Oh aye, they'll have him back alright.... anything to try and get that 17th place finish again. SMB - 'Sunderland Morally Bankrupt'

Hehe... handbags on Good Morning Britain between Piers Morgan and Jason Cundy just then. Cundy basically saying Sam was a victim of entrapment, and why should we (England) and the FA be 'whiter than white' when the Russians and other football federations do what they like?? Also said Sam should have just been given a slap on the wrist. According to the likes of Cundy (and Dowie), its not Sams fault he went to a shady meeting weeks after getting his 'dream job' and started making his big daft gob go into overdrive.

SSN: Derby have requested Nigel Pearson does not take charge of tonight's match. Could he be one of the managers?

They must have had an idea he'd go for it though. And this isnt the first time he's been targetted for something like this, but he managed to slime his way out of it before. Did this happen just after he was appointed as England Manager? If so, thats just crazy, and so arrogant of him to do that after finally getting the job he's been after for years??!! You would think being caught telling people how to break FA rules as England Manager would make his position untenable, and then that would surely be the end of his mangerial career?

Aye, it was disappointing not to put Villa to bed in that first half, considering the possesion and chances (and half chances) we had. But, I think I'd be more concerned if we weren't creating the chances, rather than just missing them. Hopefully one or two players will be on extra shooting / one-on-one practice before the next match. I'm still not getting too carried away or worried about our form yet. Unlike my Brighton supporting Boss who is suddenly full of it again, now they are back in the top 3. He'd been very quiet about their form since we beat them up here. He of all fans should know better than shouting too early about going up! Its a long season in this league, and as long as we are thereabouts at Christmas, we can hopefully add any reinforcements needed in January, to push on for the 2nd half of the season.

Mackem at work is blaming Moyes today... saying its him who picks the team, and made the subs on saturday that saw then surrender a 2-0 lead. Hehe, if the general feeling is the same across the fanbase, then his days are numbered if they don't win shortly. Really will be a ridiculous record of sacking/changing managers if they do get rid, like.

Just watched it on the MOTD repeat... Moyes blaming the players again in his post match comments

Paying the price for all them chances... its been coming since that offside header, we've gradually sat deeper and let them come onto us.

FFS... theres the warning. Need to put these to bed.

These are terrible, like. We should be at least 2 or 3 up by now. Lets hope we don't rue the missed chances.

GET INN!! Looks like an OG

Every season since Bruce was sacked in 2011 I think Not far off. Think O'Neill got just over 2 years and Poyet got about 18 months. All other have been appointed as a fire fighter and sacked not long into the new season.

I know its Palace and Pardew, but that is so funny after they were 2-0 up.

HAHAHAHA 2-0 up to 2-3 down

Creased. We could put up 2 or 3 teams from the same time frame that would annihilate that heap of s***. We could probably put up worse teams that have challenged for silverware* and/or played in Europe! * The 1998 & 1999 Cup final teams were nowt to shout about at the time!

From post #31... "The fans really are the best thing about this club. I always know we'll pull through any sh*t in the end with fans like ours."

Gravy allll owa his shirt marra A p*ssed up pie eh? Must have been steak and ale. Mackem pie launcher mustn't have fancied eating that pie at half time, as the food stalls have usually closed by that late in the game. Surely not another made up tale of Massive lad fans getting one over on obsessed mags??!!

Barton: “He is one of the better managers I have played for, but I don’t think the fans ever related to him. “He justified their prejudices because he looked like a stereotypical wide boy. “He fancied himself a little too obviously for their tastes. “The average Geordie who works his b**locks off can’t bring himself to give a good-looking Cockney lad the benefit of the doubt. “He is much more comfortable with the grittiness of one of his own. That’s why Alan Shearer is idolised and Pards mistrusted. “Rightly or wrongly, he was seen as Ashley’s ambassador and apologist.” Yeah Joey, thats exactly why we didn't like Pardew. Nothing to do with the fact Ashley sacked a decent manager (another southerner, no less) and replaced him with an out of work failure, who would do as he was told.
