What major issues do you mean?

I might be wrong, but I do think a huge part of this is the fact that we’re going to spend loads and start competing. If some generic American hedge fund were in charge, doing some limp social media stuff about Sunderland lol, I think these conversations would be very different. I know that it doesn’t apply to you and others though- really shit if people who stopped going genuinely to get rid of Ashley can’t get back in.

By the way, that was the fucking height of unprofessionalism too. Update your details or sorry you lose your points. Like, come on- work out a way of doing it yourselves you cretins

This leads to a genuine- albeit slightly ungenerous- question. Would those who got rid of their season ticket to do their bit to remove Ashley be clamouring so much if his replacement had been the new Burnley owners, or even Southampton’s? Quite possibly in lots of cases, but I think that many, just as I was, were just bored and worn out.

Yeah, this is what I'm thinking too. I remember when they shifted fans during the expansion to 52,000, one of the attendant assumptions was that it would be bad news for all those that had been on the waiting list since the nineties. In the end, the club pretty comfortably accommodated everybody. Think it will be a similar story this time.

Is it actually true that he is a Tory? In which case I don’t really want anything to do with them while we have a fucking foodbank outside of our stadium.

Worrying.

That’s probably why you get on so well. Similar.

Genuine question: Why do Sunderland not take the knee?

Not a single Sunderland player took the knee

Few days later, my nana died on the day of the first goal, the funeral was on the day of the second

I really want the Wincey spin-off, wherein he and a bunch of wacky regulars sit around his garden shed bar getting into all sorts of scrapes and entanglements

It also highlights how little a shit cunts like Baz actually give, given that they’re happy to weaponise human suffering as football ‘banter’. It’s basically following the same logic of the tea towel twats in our own support: ‘How does this thing relate to football and can I use it to feel superior?’

By the way, we’re probably going to get to Wembley ourselves in the next couple of years. When we do can it not be the basis for several thousand online debates about how many each had at Trafalgar Square the night before. Can we just stick to bars and leave them to their own sad little tradition in peace?

Alright lads- we’re not going to let you do your display as it might cause a fire and the subsequent death of thousands. YOU HAVE BROKEN THE PASSION

Cunt.

In this instance, how would they have been damned by not making their third kit Saudi colours?

Seems like Castore are playing a pretty shitty and cynical game here.

It is hilarious that a genuine factor in Sunderland’s lukewarm Wembley appearances is their fans forgetting why they’re actually there and going to the match groggy and hungover. Like, what complete fuckwits.

Feel like pure shit just want Lawro back

I would choose the important game. I remember when Aguero won it for city. I was watching our game until Everton scored their third and switched over. A Liverpool supporting friend watched their dead rubber against QPR. I know I should applaud their commitment to their team but it just struck me as insular and frankly unimaginative

Not sure how what Vieira did is that much different to what Ronaldo did, to be honest. (The stuff with the young lad's phone, not the rape.)

I’ll be watching, desperate for them to lose. Not going to pretend otherwise.

From Rednapp’s Spurs as I recall, amusingly

Of course it was! We were involved. Lost 3-1 at Everton
