It's a shame they don't have Rondon between them. I'd happily have used the Perez money to sign ASM and Rondon permanently. I still think ASM and Almiron will find their shooting boots

This has got a 3-2 loss written all over it

If we had a front 3 that could finish we would be in the top 4. The 2 wide men have murdered most teams

2 points off 5th as it stands. And that's with Joelinton bereft of confidence

Quite probably. She wouldn't give a shit about the crowd being noisy, she's part feral. I've got a free ticket for the match and no childcare. I would have sat her on my knee and put her on the ipad when she got bored, but I suspect the club would make me buy another seat for her

Anyone ever taken a young bairn to the match. If I take my 3 year old to Bournemouth game can she sit on my knee or do I have to buy her own seat?

The issue is the European leagues all conform to the same standards with VAR. The final decision stands with the ref who views replays on a pitch side monitor. The Premier League think they are Billy big bollocks and made up their own VAR rules which are shit and don't work

Alright Stevie

Apparently James Milner's last game was his 777th for club and country. He's also won: Premier League League Cup FA Cup Champions League UEFA Super Cup Not bad for a 33 year old plodder

Apparently it's been 12 years since Sunderland were in 1st place in any league, even for 1 day

Fair fucks tbh. I hope Bulgaria get done for last night, but I'm also not going to pretend that England's away support are paragons of virtue. Most of them are cunts as well, they just keep their racism to themselves and smash up local bars instead.

Scored 22 goals in his last 21 internationals tbf. And that includes games against Portugal, Germany, Brazil, Chile, Ukraine, Switzerland etc.

The favourite for the job is Wycombe's manager. The same Wycombe who finished 3pts above the relegation places in league one last season. I appreciate Wycombe are a smaller club, but it doesn't exactly bode well for a team expecting automatic promotion

Blyth are away or I would have been there. They've imploded this season unfortunately and Lee Clarke is liable to get sacked before Steve Bruce does

Fans in glass houses....

Again though, being in League 1 under Ashley would in no way be more fun than being in the Premier League under Ashley. That's Mackem level of cognitive dissonance when they reckon they love away trips to Lincoln and Fleetwood There are plenty of clubs like Pompey who are fucked after being out of the premier league for too long

I can accept apathy, it's the knackers wanting us to lose that wind me up. Mackem esque

He's not confirming the takeover is off, but he's hardly going to sack the manager if it's imminent

I disagree, but it's a fair enough explanation.

But that's based on fuck all as well. It's a complete guess. It's not far behind that plan NUFC fans had to all chip in some cash and offer it to Ashley so he would sell the club to the fans.

It's not an argument tbf. It's me quoting the bloke in an interview and Sammy calling him a liar

He didn't sell up after the last 2 relegations. Why would he do it after a 3rd? A relegation knocks 2/3rds off the price of the club. If anything he's more likely to sell if we stay in the premier league.

8 points from 8 games is not a decent start ffs. That's 38 points a season. Which is relegation form

Apparently we want us to play well, so Bruce doesn't get sacked, so we've got more chance of playing badly, then we have a better chance at getting relegated.
