et tu brute

It is correct

He was taking the piss wasn't he, as he was saying it was the reason for Ronaldo's shocked face at the end.

They love their lies and inaccuracies.

Common theme over there, anyone leaving them twiddling their thumbs and being unable to answer points raised to counteract their faux outrage, is gone within a short period

I see keyboard warrior skylon has started a Sunderland sportswashing thread now

Any mag reaction of this just shows how thick they are man so stop shitting it that we’ll look daft. It’s a friendly against a Saudi Arabian team in a different country, not much else to it imo

Or that they refuse to attend the derby game as they are giving money to our owners

I see they have a new thread on there called 'The Mags' (probably be merged soon as usual), where they are going from anything we win having no meaning to them, to trying to justify why we won't get too 4 this season. Plenty of mental gymnastics going on with the broken fuckers to add to their 'comfy blanket'. This is only still at the start also

I see they're taking yesterday's result well, the faux outrage in full swing today

Really interesting game and one I hope we are at them from the start as I'm not sure how they will manage our high press. Obviously they have some top quality also and they could easily have scored 3 goals today with better finishing. The team who gets the first goal will be crucial I feel.

Through to the next round and a further display (Tranmere) of why we still need quite a few upgrades within the squad. I'm content that Howe and the owners will know this already though.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wilson actually starts if he's over his sickness spell. He has had half a game rest and this game is his last chance to have an opportunity to give another nudge to Southgate before he announces the squad.

We all know the reason for their faux outrage, the fact we got the big money takeover, which is now further compounded by the progress we're making. You just need to see their attitude and actual amusement at the takeover not happening before October 7th. Broken totally broken.

Won it by quite a big margin also. Some really good goals, but the technique of that Fulham goal was just outrageous

He didn't score two of those hat tricks in October though and he got player of the month in September so was already rewarded for that. Just can't see anyone but Almiron.

No chance when you look at the quality of goals he has scored and the fact he is not a striker.

Must be a dream come true for the lad, gets his dream move to his boyhood club at the time when the club is at its highest point for over 20 years and is virtually a first team regular (he wasn't at Brighton). All he needs to cement everything is a goal. Great story for a lad who spent all his early years in the lower divisions. He's actually a lot better with the ball than I thought before he signed, obviously not Botman or Schar levels, but he usually finds a black and white shirt.

They're Broken, totally bricking it, with the increasing realism of our takeover folding out before them, and so are using every comfort blanket (usually lies) so that they can to try to cope - fuck them

Class that video, his teammates singing toon army and his sister wearing her black and white top at the match

The daft fucker needs to compare gates from the same era of time and not nearly 30 years later, when all gates have increased. They keep bringing the larger population despite the two cities being only fucking 14 miles apart. Typical mackems trying to distort or usually lie about stuff to make a point. Bit like when they keep mentioning Ashley giving 10,000 tickets away, conveniently ignoring that the actual average up to that point was 46,000. When it comes to comparing attendances, they are a distant second best.

The daft fuckers were trying to convince themselves that if you're not born in Newcastle then you're not a Geordie a few weeks ago

The best one is when there is engineering work on the Metro, some of them always bang on about it's only when they have home games and never when we do. They still spout this shite even when some of their own supporters point out that this is rubbish

When is the player/manager/goal of the month announced is it usually on a Thursday or a Friday?

The fact he is only 22 and that all aspects of his game will in all probability improve is quite scary

Yeah I think they will probably finish upper mid table. I've been quite shocked how poor the standard of the championship is this year as it's usually half decent. The gap between the Championship and Premier League is widening. The majority of promoted teams are ones who have been relegated and have the advantage of premiership money.
