precisely this. their six in a row came at a time when for me at least I couldn't have felt any more detached from the fucking abomination of ashley's sports direct fc. I'm far more interested in seeing an end to the league stranglehold the bindippers and man city have over us than I have beating the mackems 7 times in succession. the former will win us a league title.

He doesn’t get it because he never had to trudge through the 80s it would be a bit of a shock if they beat Sheffield Utd. But it’s better for Sunderland to play them in a one off cup final type of match than over two legs so they’ve got a decent chance imo. You’d think they’d really struggle to be remotely competitive with the way things are now if they came up though. It’s got to the point where it’s unusual if one of the promoted 3 stays up and you’d think they’d be the least well equipped.

I'll still find it hilarious if they blow it btw.

It would be good for the region tbf which, setting rivalries aside, does matter. That place is properly run down and having a PL club would help. I'd sooner have them knocking about lower mid table than the likes of Fulham.

That's my stepmam, you can do what you want with her.

Just be fucking sorry like the rest of us… Did you expect a phone call!

Six in a row is a mackem comfort blanket construct, it's a straw they clutch on to. It means nothing. They have no place at the table upon which we feast. Fuck em.

It was your Mam and that’s not what she got in her face

I'd rather have 100 PL footballers in comas than see one Newcastle goal wrongly ruled out because of the linesman going too early with his flag.

I'm unsure whether you were seeing the band or having a bit of hanky panky with Toonpack.

Honestly though, I fucking love Italy. What a country.

So sorry to hear this late.

Fucked over Brighton and us and then got sacked by Jim Rat King. I assume his reputation has been torched by his own behaviour, but if I were the FA I would view him as a short term appointment

Sounds like I’m in the minority here but I’d welcome the return of derby day. I’m mates with some Sunderland fans and it’ll be nice to consign the six in a row nonsense to history. If they are lucky enough to be promoted, they’re going to struggle just as much as the recently promoted teams. The gulf between the championship and PL has never been bigger because of PSR. Only Forest in recent years have managed it and they only did it by flirting with relegation after a points deduction. Bring it on. It’s unlikely to end well for them, whatever happens

Hm. Early 20th century imperial conflict geography clearly not a strong point

As Gemmill's post states, no it's not. 😛

I have no doubt they'll spawn it, the cunts even got promoted when they didn't win the playoffs (Swindon bollocks) they were the turd that wouldn't flush for years and years of late goal lifesavers. They can fuck off, they don't deserve the financial injection the Prem would bring.

I’ve no issue with the lino, it’s the ruling. It’s fucking stupid.

The benefit is fewer attacks are stopped incorrectly. Even with the rule in place, you still see linesman occasionally raise their flag incorrectly or raise their flag at the end of the passage of play and be wrong.

Yeah I don’t blame the lino, she was simple applying the rules. Fucking stupid rule though. Don’t see hrs benefit aside from winding people up.

My dad was saying he saw CT walking round the estate this morning, chewing on his fingernails and muttering about "... the threat of Wilson Isidor..." and "Luke 'the wall' O'Nien". My dad tried to approach but he just got "DANIEL FUCKING BALLARD" screamed in his face.

Given the season they’ve had it’ll be a travesty if Sheff Utd don’t make it. Reminds me of the only season when we did take part in the playoffs though, be just like Sunderland to spawn it into the top league.

You can stick your derby up your arse sideways, fucking hated everything about it since 1979 and the cunt Rowell hat-trick, felt a bit rough in the morning but went anyway, got tonsillitis missed next game (beat Charlton 5-3 ffs). That said times have changed, they are turbo-shit and we're anything but.

We picked up 18 points from the promoted teams this season. They’re just not very good and I don’t see Sheffield United or Sunderland bucking the trend. Local rivalry or not
