Seemed like a long match, in more ways than one. Will still watch highlights though

Ouch! Inoperable Ego-bleed if he reads that!

Swap ‘working class’ for 4th world troglodytes (Ooh, get me and my middle class England speak) and I reckon your bellend would remain unstung in that particular wasps’ nest, Legionnaire

They might not have many, but they’ve got the spirits of Jesus and George Best (apparently) in attendance. Latter probs offering moral support to Gibson. Can’t complete with that, they win the best fans trophy.

Took me a while but now can’t unsee it. Worryingly can now see Dave Lee Travis, Jesus’s right eye becomes his His left eye... now fearing I’ve been driven mental by the Makems (or their deal with the devil, ). Edit: might be Mo Salah rather than DLT... that might make it worse.

Not sure what made me laugh most: the ‘could-do-with-a-clean, well-worn, Xmas-present,’ trainer-worship OR the flag display :lol: Tragic really.

Don’t think I have seen an emptier stadium. Except for occasional reserve games at SJP, which always struck me as quite a eerie experience. Must be demoralising to play there and surely leads to the players following suit and also not giving a shit.

Aye, the Turks do a canny spread and, it seems, are not bad at Basil Fawlty impersonations!

Slimani looked sharp as fuck! Oh.... not that good news then.

Dear God, someone please tell me that video's been doctored. “Eets awlroit King, we all know yow care...”

you can get up to 11 points apparently... that’s about 15 games worth for them!!

How much truth is there in this? Appears to be quite a sore point.. the Keegan side. Comes up a lot. (Not from the North East. ) Bullshit, if the inference is people from Sunderland saw the light (moved away from the light/shite?) in the Keegan era. Equally shite that there are loads of Makem accents in the ground and it’s (probably not unrelated) nonsense that people from South Tyneside and North Durham sound like they’re from Sunderland. Obviously kids who grow up in ‘mixed’ areas will gravitate towards more successful ‘PL’ brand side. If you roll forward to a few years in the third tier, we will no doubt see the sensible saveable ones (probably SR3 postcode, for Metro ease and SR6 for Northerly mind clearing fresh air, will be first to wriggle free) drifting towards their regional capital. I remember hearing in the 90s that the biggest proportion of current season tickets were from Gateshead NE postcodes. And there were relatively even more from South of the Tyne than North on the (then long) waiting list. Maybe in a decade we’ll see an increase in the SR codes.

Me neither, still sounds about right though

The race is on, that’s the race to not finish bottom, of the well-beaten but resilient few.

loving their work.

A couple of seasons ago I recall an already relegated side tonking one of the best teams in the country 5-1. 55% sounds about right.

Yep ? Makes sense now. Division 1 must be Mephistopheles‘s revenge. He’s landed them all in an ever present private hell.

It hasn’t escaped my attention that none of the players picked for England play for teams who play in black and white. Southgate is ... is... a wanker!

Watching that makes me want to set-up a high tech training centre. Bet there is loads of top kit you could use. Set academy fee for yearly use, with regular charts/feedback tracking progress. Supplemented with pay to play sessions for legends (in their own mind).

You would think Southgate, of all England managers, would be well placed to spot talented CBs and leaders. Disappointed for him if it means he has no chance of going to Russia; you don’t get many chances of a World Cup. Given the existing competition I will be very surprised if he doesn’t get his chance at some point.

It is a f***ing horrific and shameful song. No doubt fuelled by Sunderland-type ‘poor cousin’ jealousy, City fans called Man Utd fans ‘Munichs’ for years; some probably still do. I appreciate with time, the rawness of human tragedy can fade, and it just becomes a ‘thing,’ associated with a club. But I found the recent Munich air disaster documentary, particularly Bobby Charlton’s reaction through the eyes of his family, so moving it would really sicken me to hear people sing that now.

That's just what I had in mind, Congo (...well, not literally, like!)

What about hockle on a cunt, Cunt?
