Sissoko for fuck sake x 2!

Sorenson in goal for them today.

As long as he passes when he should!

Man u now 3-2 up. Could do with the Mackems winning.

HBA starting slightly worries me. I hope he proves me completely wrong but I'd rather he comes on in the second half.

:lol: "Hi, I'm Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her Other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, and I have personally devoted my energies into making sure Sunderland will always be second best to Newcastle Upon Tyne by imposing my will on leading politicians and British businessmen so that they may favour the Tyne over the Wear."

I absolutely fucking loathe Mark Hughes and once saw a couple of fellow Mags set upon by a good few of their lot in the home paddock section of their old ground on Boxing day a few years ago so have no warm feelings for the club either. Please send them back home with 0 points and hopefully a goal difference at least two goals worse off.

Can I just thank CT on behalf of the Toontastic community for not only informing us about him now having a broken pepper grinder but also for presenting us with photographic evidence as I'm sure there may have been a few who might've seriously doubted such momentous news. Well done, Andrew! (And hope you can replace the broken one with a new one).

Pay on the day then. There's absolutely no need to have a season ticket under the current regime, walk up games are sometimes cheaper than the discounted ST price. (Derby games and the likes of Liverpool/ManU etc obviously wont be cheaper).

We did the same! I told them Mam and Dad were a little bit short of money this year so don't look disappointed in front of your mam and stood in between the living room and dining room as they looked under the tree. There was a couple of presents there but most were on the settee. It took them long enough to look up through us and see the settee, mind. (bless them they never once flickered when then they thought they had nothing and I didn't plan at all for them to go to the tree!)

Made dinner and pudding, ate dinner and pudding. Am on Jack Daniels now watching Treasure Island the 2nd thing I've watched on tv all day. Girls were happy so I was happy. Didn't get to in-laws as I was busy in kitchen but did get to my folks house for a couple of hours after dinner. Hope everyones day went well and you're all kicking back chilled in whatever way gets you there.

Merry Christmas and may your god go with you. Six points from next two home games would be lovely, please Santa.

It's not just about affection for a club though is it? He's one of the main men and got to be enjoying himself then next minute he's Demba Surplus.

I just think it's a waste of a decent talent. One minute you're number one, well respected in the game, loved by a set of supporters and feared by opposing teams. Next you're a squad member not even getting on the bench and your own clubs fans don't care if you exist or not. I know what I'd prefer.

Seriously though, well done to CT for making a big effort and getting into the Christmas spirits and champion ale despite his poverty. God bless them, everyone.

:lol:

I know that the club under Ashley asked to be away on Boxing day at the beginning of a season until recently so that explains the lack of home games under him.

Going to pop to Sainsbury's in Heaton soon. I'm not getting much but am not looking forward to it all the same.

As long as he doesn't get pulled off at half time and settles for an orange instead.

To be fair, Souness/Shepherd had blown any transfer money Roeder might've got if my memory serves me. I've got plenty of time for the bloke, served this club well enough as a player, steadied the ship and got Souness's side up to seventh which I doubt the bluffer would've managed that year. Heard Roeder on talksport not too long ago and he can't hide what he feels for Newcastle United.

My youngest is getting a keyboard. (Which has a 3.5mm jack for earphones.)

A couple of years ago when my two had been sent to bed on Christmas eve I waited about twenty minutes then tip toed in the hallway to see if I could hear if they were still awake which they were. I then played a YouTube clip on my phone of just bells jingling on a sleigh for about twenty seconds before fading then tip toed back in the living room. I could hear them loudly whispering about hearing Santa and it gave me a big cheesy grin all night and was great the next day when they brought it up.

I watched it live and the playacting, the whinging, the whining was pathetic and laughable. And that was just the Arsenal fans! Two very easy to dislike clubs, two sets of horrible players. P.s. Demba Ba not even on the bench. Not sure if he's injured? He's got to be having some regrets going there?
