I knew John Anderson should have kept his mouth shut on the pre-match build up on the radio... kept saying he 'couldn't see where they could hurt us'. Things like that always come back and bite you!

Found the image on someones Flickr (from 2009), via a Google Search...

f***ing tory government, cant even give you's lot new looking phone boxes . Is that in town? Seen it on FB and someone has said it's London?! Aye, that doesn't look like anywhere in town, and not sure there are any red phoneboxes left are there? Of course NUFC fans always wreck phoneboxes after defeats, its a well known fact.

I love how any of their supporters outside of Sunderland/Wearside are all 'Branches', even up in Northumberland. Yet any Newcastle supporter outside of Newcastle, or even worse, anywhere like Durham is just a 'Plastic Mag'. You couldn't make it up.

They must think its like Darras Hall.

Reviewing their sponsorship deal with 'Invest in Africa' in the summer, with Tullow Oil being accused of bribery in Africa. Oh Dear. More questionable headlines linked to the 'Classy Club'.

We just need Gillespie to ping them crosses in.

Noticed a funny comment from Colin Murray last night on MOTD2, at the lead in to the Sunderland highlights. Talked about [Di Canio] being nervous the night before his first game, and 'getting ready in the dark'.... neither Hansen or Kilbane reacted, so I think it went right owa their heads.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4877532/MIchael-Owen-frustrated-at-being-a-non-starter-at-Stoke-City.html He must be on a 'pay-as-you-play' deal now, if he's complaining at not getting on the pitch.

A late Taylor winner and they would probably burn RTG to the ground. Hehe aye, if Stevie scored a winner against them i dont know who'd explode first... Him or them??!! )

Zamora sent off for QPR.... Dont really want Wigan to win, but I'll let them have this one to put the mackems into the bottom 3.

UNBELIEVABLE..... INJURY TIME CISSE AGAIN!!!!

They really are a desperate bunch aren't they? Aye... as if 'Ponteland' Airport wouldn't be swarming in red and white shirts if they ever had a european match to go to?! They seem to miss the fact that they wear their shirts to go on holiday... making a statement when travelling from 'Ponteland Airport'.

Minor thing, but notice there are no sponsors logos on any of the training kit on those pics from Portugal - whereas the training pics from the UK have Virgin Media and SD.com on them.

I like the way the local media keep calling it The 'Real' Stadium of of Light..... true, of course. Magedia in full effect.

[bBC Newcastle]: Durham Miners now letting their banner stay at the Stadium of Far Right, following Di Canio's statement today. Wonder if Miliband will ask for his job back, next??!!

They already made their statement on Monday. Looks like they're just gonna try and ride out the media sh*tstorm till the end of the season.

http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/local/all-news/irish-lawyer-margaret-byrne-31-is-new-sunderland-afc-chief-executive-1-3551981 Apparently she's a qualified solicitor.... yet she came out with that statement.

Just remembered, there was a crackin little dig on North east Tonight, on their sports bulletin. They finished discussing Di Canio/SunderLOL, and then got on about Newcastle heading out 'to play at The Real Stadium of Light'. I bet there were a few things thrown at stolen TV's in Pennywell this evening. Bloody Magedia!

In todays press conference he has said he watched their matches against Norwich and Man Utd. I'd guess this appointment was on the cards for longer than saturday night. In fact, total sport suggested last night that O'Neills backroom staff had been told to clear out their stuff at the academy on Friday, and that he himself took satrudays match knowing he was already being binned.

2 up top looking like they'll be Wickham and Graham then... both arguably 'target men', neither with any great pace... expect them to get stuck right in though.

Bennett on Total Sport just said he thinks there will now be some [pro-fascist] people, in Sunderland jerseys 'infiltrating' the crowd, in attempt to 'Influence' people, following Di Canio's appiontment. Think BBC Newcastle might need to find a new co-commentator for SunderLOL's matches soon.

Actually took me a moment to notice the fans in the background. Fantastic work.

Thats brilliant... one of them even mentions the 1-9 result as a come back.

Its been said before, there are other reasons this has made headlines, but one is undoutedly that Sunderland are a higher profile club than Swindon, and top flight (for the time being). Its much like us and the Wonga deal. Not as many headlines when they sponsored Blackpool And Hearts(?).
