Agreed. Isak will be there on his goal numbers alone. But at least he was carrying an injury unlike Palmer and Fernandez who have no right to be on there.

Being massively racist in secret allows you to appear morally superior in public though

They move any thread about Newcastle to the members only area because they are worried about losing sponsors due to too much criticism of the Saudi's, right? That's the line, isn't it? They have to obscure those threads for fear of sponsors reacting poorly to the brave Sunderland fans calling out the oppressive regime. Now, surely they wouldn't want to take any money from anyone who would be offended by criticism of that regime, right? Wouldn't accepting that money be a form of tolerance? They are the largest Sunderland board out there, couldn't they self-fund the site? How much money does it really take to keep a site like that ticking over? I asked our good friend Chat GPT; To estimate how much it would cost each member of Sunderland’s Ready to Go (RTG) Message Board per month to keep the site running, we need to make a few educated assumptions or obtain some actual figures. 🔍 Assumptions and Estimations: 1. Monthly Running Costs of RTG Includes: Server hosting Domain registration Software (forum platform) Admin/moderation effort (usually volunteered) Typical cost for a large, active message board: ~ £50–£200/month, depending on traffic, features, and hosting type (shared, VPS, or dedicated server). Let’s assume: £100/month as a reasonable midpoint. 2. Number of Members RTG is one of the more active UK football forums. Let's estimate: Tier Registered Users Active Monthly Users Conservative 5,000 1,000 Likely 10,000 2,000 High 20,000 5,000 Let’s go with 2,000 active monthly users, a realistic ballpark for a forum like RTG. 📊 Per Member Cost Calculation Total Cost Active Users Monthly Per Member £100 2,000 £0.05 £100 1,000 £0.10 £100 500 £0.20 ✅ Final Estimate: If RTG costs ~£100/month to operate and has around 2,000 active monthly members, each member would only need to contribute ~£0.05 per month (or 60p/year) to keep it running. Even with a lower user count or higher cost, you're still looking at well under £1 per person per month. Surely that's better than cowing to the pressure from the Saudi's?

Raoul Moat is celestial. He crashed down millions of years ago and dwelled in the sewers of Rothbury promising the local constabulary that they could all float too.

isak isn't even our player of the season tbh. he was brilliant in phases and we would be nowhere without his goals but for consistency across the season, it's tonali or burn.

of course they had to have a man u player in there

Fucking Palmer He was massively off the boil for about 6 months

What came first? castles with moats, or Raoul Moat. AI shite again, I rest my case your honour.

If this directly attributable to the Trump then I simply cannot hack the audacity his boot lickers have to criticise Biden for his inability to speak. Even if Biden had come out with this shit his team would have heavily edited it to make it make sense.

Teas, coffees, emptied the dishwasher, put the bins out (both the rubbish and the ice bath ones). What a man.

My favourite part about them is when the one reasonable poster (out of the thousands of chin dribblers) in each thread points out the irony in calling us obsessed while crying over footy tops on the internet. The pile on is almost always spectacular. A bunch of dings on the internet bullying a grown mackem man by calling him a secret mag. They don't have enough mag top threads IMO.

According to the rumour mill the mackems are willing to pay £30m for Joe Gomez. This is the exact kind of signing I want them to make. That's the Sunderland model they keep rabbiting on about. The model of signing Jack Rodwell, calling your manager a prick on Netflix and ending up in league one.

Google disagrees.

Lets see what happens next week when clubs apparently have to sell to comply with PSR... according to a media that is well known for being spot on with these things

Next month is going to be unbearable.... https://www.adidas.co.uk/oasis

I genuinely don’t know what is real anymore over there.

I'm not going there, but Toonpack and Dr Gloom will pick this up later and spend three days of the transfer window making dreadful piscean related puns. They both talk POLLOCKS Ps... I have had squid (and octopus, much to my wife's disgust) such as you suggest in Alicante's last traditional tapas bar...the condensation off the ceiling dripped into your food if you weren't careful .. no idea if it's still there,few years back now...

Gemmill nailed the Hot Mitch Summer.

3 weeks in to june, every player we're linked to fucking off elsewhere, the recruitment man skedaddles and isak to the bindippers intensifying. nice weather though.

It should be illegal to work in this sort of heat tbh. Just declare an emergency bank holiday and we’ll all put our money into the pubs

People lining up to pay fortunes for bang average Liverpool players is beyond a joke now

In olden days castles, for defensive reasons, often had a wide and deep trench dug around them, often then filled with water. Attacking armies had to take care to avoid falling into it, the act of not falling in was called moat-evasion. Armies that attacked and captured castles were said to be highly moat-evaded, those that failed and ran away were less moat-evaded.

whilst at the same time moving at a fucking snail's pace setting up CL size sponsorship deals which help fund them.
