Sunderland Still Shit I remember a Ceefax headline back in the early 90's, which said, "Sunderland to get Ball back for Grimsby". Always tickled me that.

It kind of sums up their " city". What The Reader ‘centricity’ Quote Meanwhile, in completely unrelated news, we think Sunderland AFC personnel might not read this column. No, really. Last week we dealt with the endlessly amusing topic of corporate gobbledegook. So did club bods peruse it? Following news that a new club bigwig "aims to establish greater levels of leadership and ensure a renewed commitment to fan centricity can be fully embraced throughout the club", I think we should be told.

BlueStar Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 It's an opinion piece, so they've just let some random heed the ball write an extended letter to them and published it as an article I think. Doubt he was even paid for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I love the irony that it's written to whinge about how much whingers whinge about things, and then admits no-one's actually whinged about the thing the whingeing article whinges whingers are going to whinge about, so the only whinger there is actually the whingeing author whingeing about whingeing.

The Fountain Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 A few loons are suggesting that the upcoming England game at SJP is down to Saudi bribery. A few sensible ones have pointed out that Riverside and SOL have also hosted England games but it's falling on deaf ears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Their North Shields-born keeper Patterson was a childhood Toon fan, but is very diplomatic in terms of not mentioning it while talking about things like how he understands how much the derby means as a fan from up here, letting them assume he's always been an MLF.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Good move for him. A club that should be pushing to get back first attempt, then he'll have plenty of exposure first season in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting those cunts to sell him to us will be nigh on an impossible task unless Rigg rejects all other offers. Only way would to be to run his contract down to next summer. However, I fancy they’ll give him an ultimatum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Is he (Rigg) able to join whoever he wants until he turns 17? It would be a compensation fee for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite exciting to see what we could have in a few years when we've built our academy up. No longer fielding walking corpses during an injury crisis, instead turning to a young live wire with the world in front of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UV Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 As he was cheering on his boyhood club and watching a 17 year old Lewis Miley starting games in the Champions league, I'm sure Rigg was thinking how much better off he was failing to make the bench at a struggling Championship club that's had more managers in his lifetime than he's had birthdays. He'll surely also have taken note of how far young Jobe has progressed this season under the superb coaching setup at Sunderland and looked on RTG to see the encouraging and patient support that he receives from their loyal supporters while developing as a player. He'll be itching to sign a long term professional contract with them I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
