Sign a centre back. Linked with a few other players but nothing doing. Someone to embarrass themselves on here on transfer deadline day because they don’t think we’ve got enough wingers.

Arena site is the only place that I think makes sense if moving becomes inevitable. There’s going to be huge resistance to building next door, as there was in the 90s. I don’t think it’s a battle the owners will really want to have. Not sure what the current state of the arena site is (heard loads of contradictory suggestions about who owns it, plans for it once the new Sage opens etc) but if they can get that entire area between the railway and Skinnerburn Road it should be plenty big enough. Absolutely phenomenal location too, even though that side of the Redheugh is pretty shabby. Loads of potential around that part of the city that you imagine the Reubens would be all over.

Watched it with the wife, who is more the target audience given she knows next to nothing about football. She was furious the second episode wasn’t immediately available to watch, then spent 20 mins chewing my ear off and asking questions, then made me read out our entire team and show her pictures of those names she didn’t recognise (Jacob Murphy’s her favourite fyi).

The Leicester game was a completely freak result on the balance of everything. Games like Leeds at home is probably a better example.

“Found it hard to watch.” It’s not an ISIS execution video you wet blanket, although with our owners…

Didn’t start properly until after the World Cup apparently

They’re not giving anything meaningful away at a talk in.

Just saw a leak on Twitter. Apparently we finish fourth.

This place is pretty weird in general. After the Willock winger debate yesterday I’m not convinced people on here actually watch our games.

You’ve got people whinging about the narration in one breath and then flipping their lids over a negative review in the other Are you all alright?

And another seat becomes available. The circle of live continues.

The atmosphere is horse shit for most games anyway. I don’t think Dave from Cruddas Park sitting in the East Stand rather than the Gallowgate is going to make our singing of the Blaydon Races any worse.

Wonder if it’s a great idea telling the whole world that we play association football on a regulation size pitch while adhering to the laws of the game as laid down by the FA.

On a few occasions last season when I saw them they were looking pretty average only for him to pop up and do something.

Not even if it was Barry Bennell.

I’ve had a long hard think about this lads and I’ve decided that not only do I not care who narrates a documentary but anyone who has feelings about the topic should be executed for being a massive fucking fanny.

Right back was arguably our biggest problem position. The drop off in quality between first choice and second choice was vast.

We’re not signing anyone of any quality to be third choice, so at that stage you’re just taking up a squad place for the sake of it.

I miss his excuses like. The Olympics

SAFC is an absolute money-pit for anyone silly enough to try and spend their way to any degree of success. I do think Little Lord Fauntleroy’s plan to Moneyball it is sensible.

I want to take the piss out of the triathletes with the shits, but it’s just an indication of how colossally fucked this country is rather than anything Sunderland has done.

Nee stepovers though.

Repeatedly slurping on his Tango Ice Blast when it’s evident to everyone in the screen there’s fuck all left and hasn’t been since the trailers finished.
