Hilarious as The Don getting fleeced for Grigg, Bent karma, Charlton, Portsmouth, Burton, shitting in the seats, fitting the seats, not filling the seats are/were the ultimate event that sums up Sunderland is heaping praise on the club for providing one of the lads with a slice of cheese for his burger after he forgot to bring his usual Aldi slice. Can't imagine why they're fewmin

Got asked to go to that event but, at £120 a ticket, I baulked. Love the bit where he says "we" also near the end re-iterates what I said about Sunday. They (new owners) had a brief cameo appearance by "NUFC future". What we could/will be. Of course they had to see, 1st hand, how shit we really were and how shit Bruce was.

I'm harsh as fuck sometimes. Watched a clip of some young wonderboy Breakfast BBC had in the studio this morning and thought "he's not THAT good". Then realised he was only 4. Absolutely held the ball better than Joelinton, mind.

I had the same vibe when I read Shearer's. I've got mutuals with Bruce and they both say what a great bloke he is. Know him from school etc and have kept in touch. Both, tho, recognize what a shit manager he is and "hasn't helped himself with the victim blaming" Maxi's just a nice kid who's been soft soaped.

On the subject off "Oh Fortuna" I was delighted when the club started playing that. First time I heard it at the ground I had a warm, smug like, feeling in my brain. Very similar to the way I felt when a track came up on tv while the wife was watching Handmaids Tale. "That's On the Nature of Daylight by Max Richter that" I declared "you're so fu*king weird you" she replied Had Carmina Burana on cd for years before the toon used it. Worth noting, given the outrage at our authoritarian new owners, that Karl Orff plied his trade under Nazi Germany and was blacklisted post WWII. Just the thing to add to the offended masses of MSM ;-0

I'm with Thorpinho, PA bloke needs to stfu. Total w*nker

Invited to spend the duration of the game in an executive box. £36k per season, allegedly. Having sat all over the ground I already knew mobile phone reception can be patchy in places but was very surprised to find the club "wifi" equally shite. Only a couple, of the 8, managed to connect and that was by standing by the internal waving their arms about ;-) £36 fookin K

Just read it. As ever he's spot on.

27th Dec 2017. Home defeat v Man City. Went home and took the dog out, 9 year old border collie Bella. Kicked the ball for her and when she ran for it she twisted, let out an awful howl then couldn't move. I carried her indoors, then took her up to Morpeth 24hr vets. Turned out she'd damaged her spine. Back legs had gone so we had to let her go, 17th Oct 2021 v Spurs Pre-takeover invite into an exec box. Timing is everything. Free bar as well. We had season tickets for years but Ashley's joyless governance saw us off, Looking forward to a cheery full house. Will walk the dog, 3 year old border collie Flora when I get in.

Rename the "Sir" John Hall stand to something else. Anything else. Blokes a big fat fucking tory donating fraud. Never put a penny in and waltz off with millions.

Load of bairns on here. I supported Newcastle when I had dickies and worms, the school had outside bogs and dog shit was white. Saltwell Park monkey tree was a fucking bush. Irving Nattrass was my 1st hero cos I liked his name

Yewtree?

That might hold water if he (Ashley) ever cared about his public/business profile or how things "look".

Was up all night lamping

93 minutes

10 years time they'll be doing one of these for Peter Shilton

Despite spending a decent amount of money. The good from Rafa has been totally washed away It really has. The defensive unit that he compiled, organised and drilled to death has been dismantled in the name of a stronger attack and exciting football. Which of course hasn't been delivered. He's like a back-to-front Dalglish. Like a back to front panto donkey more like?

My mate, a retired screw, had to keep an eye on her for a while. Says she'd often wait for the footsteps nearing her door then lie there facing th door, legs akimbo, flicking the bean for when the unlucky guard had to check through the hatch. anyhoo, Bruce is fucking rancid.

As stated, to sit back you need to be organised and well drilled. No matter who you play. To play attacking football, in the premise you're keeping the ball from the opposition thus diluting their offensive threat, you need to actually keep the ball. We can do neither. Hence the number of shots we concede etc etc

Bruce doesn't need the suit, tbf

Always preferred Ovett to Coe. I think even back then I could see Coe being a corrupt, snivelling, arse licking tory c*nt. Proved right in the end. Ovett being Alf Tupper, obvs.

Surely that first paragraph is all very illegal and if true would land the club in loads of bother. First thing I thought. Is absolutely illegal and breaking furlough rules. Club needs grassed up.

The situation will develop as pif wont wait around forever. Also Ian Mearns MP made an interesting point last night, at what point does Ashley consider this a restraint of trade. Though there own rules don’t appear to have a set timescale for a decision, however a court could rule that this delay is not reasonable and does constitute a restraint of trade. Don’t think it will come to this though as I expect decision in next 2 weeks. Mike Ashley thought lockdown was a restraint of trade Like this much

Unfortunately you are right on this, apart from in ideal world they should give 2 f#%ks about fans. Their product is looking pretty soulless and uninspiring on the telly at present. It's not the PL's job to do what is best for NUFC fans. It's NUFC's job to do that. It's not the PL's fault that we've been left to rot. That's completely on Ashley. Why do the premier league have fan relation officers then, they do have some duty of care when it comes to fans. Unfortunately in this case they clearly don’t give 2 s***s. Anyone thinking the Premier League give, or should give, any f**ks about the fans needs to view the broadcasting timetable for matches. "Booked your travel and accommodation, you say?" "tough shit"
