And "marra" is often used in, especially former mining parts of, north Durham and south Northumberland which are predominantly Newcastle supporting areas. It's not really a Sunderland thing as many suppose it to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a Sunderland thing as many suppose it to be. Marra originates from Cumbria, from the lead mines. Two young lads working the ventilation shafts were known as half marras, sharing a wage. When the Cumbrian lads moved to the Northumberland and Durham pits the term was incorporated into north east pit yak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted Sunday at 13:34 Share Posted Sunday at 13:34 No they will be going spare at this. It’s Mag-Saudi corruption brazenly out in the open. Bribes all owa the place man. Why haven’t the government and the king made a joint statement decrying this? It’d have been like Christmas Eve for them last night dreaming of a points deduction for us. But once again the spawny Mag comes up smelling of roses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted Sunday at 13:43 Share Posted Sunday at 13:43 It must be upsetting to learn that a winger on our books who has never kicked a ball for us just went for three times what they hope Jack Clarke is worth … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted Sunday at 15:34 Share Posted Sunday at 15:34 Their club was worth £32m when Metven and Donald bought it. The equivalent of a Newcastle reserve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris L Posted Monday at 16:53 Share Posted Monday at 16:53 Sensible decision by rigg. If he joined a prem side. He’d either be in the reserves or loaned out anywhere and everywhere for a couple of years. At Sunderland he will get first team football probably quite often. wonder if any club approached him with /Sunderland and had the offer of staying at Sunderland on loan next season. But chose to stay there as their player instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Rigg and his family held all the cards in the negotiation, would imagine there is quite a low release clause to get him out of there whenever he wanted.

et tu brute Posted Monday at 20:29 Share Posted Monday at 20:29 (edited) Sensible decision, must admit everytime I've seen him play for them, he hasn't stood out. Only 16 though so not really surprising. Best to stay at that level and grow in surroundings he's comfortable with, as he would only be loaned out by a premiership club Edited Monday at 20:33 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted Tuesday at 07:47 Share Posted Tuesday at 07:47 Noticed in the Anthony Gordon thread over on readytogroom they are laughing that our bubble is about to burst and our owners don't want to spend. I'll let them off as PSR and FFP means fuck all to a club like sunlun with their wealth of 20+m players they successfully fend suitors off every season. But to the rest of us mere mortals, we have to stick to the financial constructs of the PL, I know, still alien to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted Tuesday at 09:54 Share Posted Tuesday at 09:54 They're playing mental gymnastics over there and failing badly. They were absolutely desperate for us to sell one of our top players or fail to be within PSR and have a points reduction. Now that hasn't happened they are bleating about corruption. Their faux outrage at the Saudi ownership has been replaced by their true reason against our owners. The amount of shite posted on five separate threads (Isak, Gordon, Minteh, Almiron and PSR) is an embarrassing display of total fewm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
