Apparently on Twitter talking about turning the floodlights off during night games in spring to cut costs. Truly the dawn of an exciting new age.

Be surprised if a load of hopeless nobodies who couldn't be arsed to play for them in the championship suddenly decide they want to play for them in League One. Oh fuck I'm being negative. Up The Don.

Anyone expressing any doubt over the financial clout of The Don is quickly being shot down for making things up, being negative, and having no sources. I'm yet to see any sources as to exactly how big The Don's bank account though. They are in full on delusion here. Denial even. If we had just gone into League One and had been given away to some bloke who immediately started talking about 'living within our means' I'd be getting ready for a long and painful time. Not rambling on about the Premier League

I'm from Benwell. I currently live in Bishop Auckland after growing up in Newton Aycliffe. #durhammag

Don't think The Don has the funds to bail the Roofing out, or they'd be all over it. Some of these lads are on 60 quid a game, you know.

One of them on Jarrow Roofing BCA going bust: Sunderland residents/fans willing these other local clubs on to better things, likes of Shields and that. Fuck them man. Chance we could be playing the c*nts some day. Each time one of these rag tag lot gain a promotion and we get relegated we lose a handful of fans. Fuck them. Hahaha. Giving it the big one about maybe one day catching us when they're actually terrified of Northern League clubs overtaking them.

Hahaha. From a group of nameless international investors putting the cash in to the Echo being a 'mag rag' and deflated utterings of 'I'm just waiting for all the details to come out marra' in a week. They've been relegated to League One and bought out by some Del Boy chancer. Unlucky.

Hahaha classic man. They really are fucking done on every level. Not a single one of them has any idea what's going on or what to do. Particularly the gaffer.

It's absolutely class how the realisation slowly set in that they were down. A few news outlets reported it and the head scratching began. I mean the Championship is not the top flight and not where we all want to be but it's full of big, decent football clubs. Derby, N. Forest, Leeds, Sheff Wed etc. Where they're going now (and we have never been) is the land of Luton, Accrington Stanley, Fleetwood Town. Hopefully Notts County get themselves up and Shola runs riot. Lads this is class mind. It's only 2 years ago they were 'kicking on' under Fat Sam. Hahaha. Fuck off

That thread about them playing Man City and us against Hull in '91 has some classic stuff. Sunlun fans 'enhancing their reputation in Manchester'. Jesus Christ it's utterly laughable. Dunno what's more tragic, this delusion that everyone loves them, or how desperate they are for it to be true. At least half of Manchester will be laughing at them going down again after they cheered Utd losing the title. They'll probably get accused of 'being disrespectful' by County Durham's Real Sewpa Genuine Proper Salt Of The Earth Football Club FC.

I love the odd posts that are appearing about how 'Benitez has done a good job' and 'the Mags actually look a solid top flight team' like some huge penny has dropped and they've just realised all their pre season nonsense about them passing us on their way up has come back to slap them hard in the face. The forced humility especially is brilliant.

I like how they have this image of themselves as a proper football fan's club, and that everyone in the country actually hates Newcastle despite (what they think) is the media loving us, everyone's second team etc. They think they're a proper old fashioned club and we are 'plastic 1992 Mags' and that match going fans in England know it. They seem to be unable to understand why fans of other clubs are taking the piss out of their laughable football club and their hilarious demise. Apparently Sheff Wed fans were 'disrespectful' to take the piss. Hahaha

I feel a bit for Pellegrino and Soton fans tbh. Selling players every year. No investment. Owners seemingly just wanting to extract every penny and give nothing in return... All sounds very familiar...

Loads of faults with Jenas' nonsense. I'll have a go at listing them: He talks about being on the same level as Gerrard and Lampard but the rest of Newcastle being below that. NUFC finished above both Liverpool and Chelsea in 03. Only Man Utd and Arsenal above. Who does he think he should have been replacing in their teams? Scholes? Vieira? Behave. He went on to join a garbage Spurs side. Anyone remember Juande Ramos? Jacques Santini? Earned 14 England caps while at Newcastle. Left at 22 and earned 7 more. Talks about not being able to handle playing at the Toon but seems to think he's unfazed playing for England at Wembley. Was never even our best midfielder. Speed and Dyer better in the middle. Robert and Solano better out wide. He's really pissed me off here, the ungrateful little weasel. He owes his career to NUFC. He's bitter about something somewhere along the line. Jesus man just the bare faced cheek of mentioning the all time goalscorer of Chelsea FC, multiple Premier League winner and European Champion Frank Lampard alongside himself!!! He'll then go on tele and call Toon fans deluded!!! I can't handle it lads

It's brilliant but after finishing it I wasn't tempted to go and get the Platinum trophy simply because the endgame isn't padded out enough. The ultra rare mods aren't powerful enough to make it worth my while and there's literally nothing else to try and get. Loved it other than that. Plot and narrative was incredibly gripping.

4 accurate passes in the opening 10 minutes

Man Utd are pedestrian compared to this lot though. Hope I'm wrong, of course.

Can't see anything other than a good hiding for us here. How do you go about containing Salah-Mane-Firmino? Will be Benny Hill esque scenes as Lejuene and Yedlin chase their shadows.

If Chelsea have already secured top 4 by the final day then I fancy us to do them at SJP. Something wrong about this current Chelsea squad, if they can't be arsed they don't bother. They wanted Mourinho gone and finished 10th the other year.

Doesn't stop running either.

Aye, it does include taking the lead at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge and then getting absolutely spanked like, so not as if it's all points we should definitely have had. Still, bad isn't it?

We have thrown 19 points from winning positions so far this season. Now it's obviously not as simple as just adding them on and saying 'we should be sixth!' but that's a huge amount. I'd like to see what the average is for the league as a whole and see where we'd be if it wasn't such a big issue for us. It's clearly a problem and needs sorting.

It will sink in further when they're playing our U21s in the EFL Trophy in front of 5000 at the SoL.

We can't go 11 points clear by beating Preston. It'll be 10 but only if Huddersfield lose their first game. I suppose you could have meant goal difference too like. Huddersfield play just before and then just after our game at home to Preston. That's a huge game now. If we lose that game we could well be going into the final 2 matches with just a 1 point lead. I don't want to be overly negative but I really can't believe we are in this situation. A month ago I genuinely thought we had the league all but sewn up.

2-1 I've gone. Just don't trust us to keep a clean sheet at the minute, think the lads at the back are feeling the pressure more than the likes of Ritchie, Gayle, Shelvey. Think we'll have enough to win though.
