Oh yes, the defensive mentality. Young urchins playing offside traps within sight of famous Tyne Bridge

Let’s rewind the footage and capture the moment where you can see his heart actually break.

Any spare ticket would be hugely appreciated

Spurs have that same profoundly depressing quality that we had in Robson’s last full season. Going to just about win most games, but it’s all pretty joyless. And then lose the hard games.

Our away end looked looked like a sprawling mass of delirium today. Imagine Arsenal or Chelsea in the same circumstances, even the Manchester clubs or Liverpool. We are on board in a way that their spoilt fans aren’t, and this is going to be an incredible ride

Just hope Liverpool can do us a favour.

Your life seems sad. Are you okay?

Did win at home against the best team in the league. Also a handy victory against Man City.

We seemed to have so many mint home games that season. Bellamy was fantastic to watch. I think he’s my favourite ever player in lots of ways.

Seem to remember Villa were top going into that?

Any spares going mate?

It’s not okay, though, and I doubt the protesters think it is.

Well there is no point outside of your first three words, I suppose. Education is good.

Lots of people do, and are concerned about the ownership and its implications. And as such they are attempting to educate people like you who don’t know about what exactly we are in bed with here. You’re bothered or you’re not but they are fully entitled to help people understand.

I’ve done it more than once- Sunderland, Spurs x2- and my honest advice would be to just not bother, mate. Thoroughly awful experience.

It is genuinely concerning reading a few of the people on that Ready to Go thread about us. It is just hatred on a level way beyond what I have ever experienced as a football fan in a split area of the North East with plenty of Sunderland supporting mates. It hurts me that this is happening to them and I just hope they find solace somehow. Thoughts and prayers. It’s only a game, lads.

Saka injured

I’m evidently a deluded Geordie because before seeing West Ham brought up, it never occurred to me to consider anything other than a Man Utd loss as being the best result for us.

The thing about Caulkin is that he goes for ‘grumpy old curmudgeon’ on podcasts and lacks the wit to quite pull it off, so just makes him sound a bit like hard work. His writing is fine though, if a bit over lyrical at times.

On this note, who are we supporting today?

My mate and I both made the same point at the exact same time that Botman is genuinely a player you never notice- as a testament to how good he is. Probably harms his chances on polls like this.

Bruno. I even got the underground shit that he did with Skam.

They mad

Do people on the internet still say ‘This.’? If they do: This.

What happened is that they did just that but then Leazes Terrace was replaced brick by brick one hundred metres closer to the the ground.
