Looks like Matt Ritchie is coming for MF's job. TBH if I had to chose one of our current players who seems like they'd enjoy murdering hookers and burying them in the woods then Ritchie is the first that springs to mind.

As if Salah and co stay on their feet if that happens to them! We know they don't and we know what happens next. Longstaff and NUFC don't have the fear factor that the likes of Klopp and Liverpool do. It's not corruption but it's an unconscious bias/fear that discriminates against the non-sky faves.

Aye, absolutely beautiful to see the wheels come flying off the Klopp farewell tour bus.

Bin Dipper just walked in and we played YNWA, he wasn't happy

Man who negotiates contract for a living complains about the contract he negotiated. Boris Johnsonesque.

Infiltrated by mysterious mag fans once again! Will it never end? Secretly drifting in and out when they know the MLF one punch hard cunts are visiting their relatives out of town. Damn you all!!

Hurley was old enough to have heard first hand tales of Sunderland’s record victory against us, in 1908… … when we won the title, again. RIP MLF MARRA! and of course

🎶He walked into my life And now his moaning's over And it's beautiful I think it's beautiful Can't you see, it's fucking LFC You really must agree together they are deplorable But we are beautiful Beautiful We are beautiful🎵

^ This 100% Jota went down 5 minutes after the miniscule of touches against us and he still got a pen, it's fucking laughable.

Chuffed as nuts. Didn’t apply for a ticket. Then fancied going after the spurs match so put the feelers out and got lucky. Then Monday I got a text reminding me that it’s Orbital in Southampton tomorrow night and not being in the first flush of youth as they say I flogged the ticket on and so I won’t be getting in at stupid o’clock tomorrow morning after paying to watch that parcel of fucking shit 😀 Thoughts and prayers with agent @Dr Gloom though 🙏🏻😔 hope he’s not regretting his life choices tonight

But Whickham and West Auckland are both in county Durham marra. Must have been a fifth column of fans of massive lads with a grudge against toilets.

The lads were just after a pint in the Black and White bar.

I do love how they make the SoL seem like such a lovely place.

If you’d set off back then you could’ve been on the moon by now. Makes you think

We played like absolute shit and deserved to lose. That said. That is the new worst decision by VAR this week (because it's like this every week for at least one team in the PL). This week it was our turn to be royally fucked over by the tinpot officiating in this league. How the ref doesn't give it on the field is beyond me. It's a blatant pull back, penalty, and possibly a red card for a denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity. He has a clear view of it. The commentators (despite their clear Palace bias) actually seemed confused that he hadn't given it. Then, the fact that VAR don't overturn it is just insane. I actually burst out laughing when it wasn't overturned. It is comical at this point. VAR is just a game of Russian roulette. You just hope the bullet isn't in the chamber for your team each week. How can they be without bias in making the decision when the ref books Longstaff during the check? It's pretty clear that he's done that to make a point about the decision. You know then that immediately he's set his stall out and the VAR idiots in the booth have to decide either to make their mate look like an idiot by making the correct decision or close shop and protect their little weak-willed buddy on the pitch. And obviously we get the latter because these little dweebs stick together like the most pathetic gang you can possibly imagine. VAR is a charade. In an industry with so much money at stake it's mental that this is the standard of officiating that passes for acceptable. Anyway, fair result. One of our worst performances of the season. That said, Palace were pretty shit too, despite all the possession and chances they had.

Is this place running horribly slow for everyone or just me? Taking ages to load pages.

What he lacks in height, he makes up for in radge

Things you love to see. #1

He'll need a ladder to get into the fucker, he's only 4'6

One of the best central defenders to have ever played the game. For Sunderland in the 60s

This is true but Hurley was from the black and white era before the world turned colour and was a centre back which makes his veneratio less explicable to me, fair does though. Whereas most of us will have seen David Kelly play, he was centre forward, and also a part-time arms inspector befor Blair murdered him. RIP.

RIP to a man I honestly thought was already long dead. That's a good innings as they say. I loved David Kelly amongst others yet in reality, as massive a cult hero he is, he was usually a lower league player. I'm pretty sure most of Hurley's seasons are Sunderland were in division two but they loved him and there's nothing wrong with that. His first ever game for Sunderland was in a seven nil defeat so it's good to know they've always been a basket case of a club.

If we can follow that up with "and who the fuck is Charlie Hurley?" that would be great.

Aye I thought he could have stayed on his feet, but its a pen. If thats any Top 6 team thats a pen.

I think he felt the touch and went down. I bet he has a shit reputation with the referees. I think there have been at least two other similar incidents this season (Liverpool away and Milan away that I can recall)z i felt like he could have stayed on his feet but it’s probably still enough for a penalty. I can see why the ref thought it was soft in real-time. anyway, we deserved to lose so I’m at peace this morning. That team was a Bruce team. Hopefully Eddie goes back to 4 at the back now.

I think Gemmill did.

FYP

Scrapped my Ford Focus today. Bought with 4k miles in 2008 Stuck with the wife's fiat500 now

Let's start with "who the fuck is Dodds?!" and go from there.

Of course he could have stayed on his feet, the only tackles where you can't are brutal and almost never occur in the box. You have to go down in a scenerio like that to rightfully get the penalty. Usually anyway. He was right to go down but he has to be the least convincing player when going down under contact and it's reflected in how rarely he wins free kicks. I believe it's because he's fundamentally slow, so falling over always seems delayed. We need to get Jonas in to teach him, he was the best I've seen at Newcastle at winning free-kicks.

Due to your sunny disposition I suggest you put the book down and read something a bit more uplifting.

They deserved to win but I felt we were denied a penalty- dunno how it looked on the replay but in real time I was sure VAR would overturn it
