  1. He blocks everyone. I've been blocked since he was all over twitter saying Branthwaite didn't do anything wrong when he nearly blinded Dael Fry. I was a bit upset and told him so.
  2. Kavanagh has been making bench. Surely some type of striker is coming in
  3. Latte Lath has a lot of potential. I can see why the cub went for him. At our level, with our money that's all we can do - buy potential (especially with strikers). A run in the team next season, 15-20 goals later he could be worth £10m+.
  4. We might want to give Kieron Scott a new deal as well. Played a blinder.
  5. It was always going to be a struggle but this tactic with Howson has confused matters and gifted them goals. This game was about getting to 20 minutes to go and still being in it. It's been a *** show at the back.
  6. Potentially they could buy Rogers and loan him back for remainder of the season. I can't see him getting near their first team.
  7. We should just get Diallo for shits and giggles. The mackems heads would explode 🤯 Be pretty funny.
  8. I'm pretty sure most Sunderland fans do see it as a derby/rivalry. Their online forums are not at all representative of their fan base. That's why they have wore smog suits, sung songs about us, get a spike in their home attendance for a 12 o'clock kick off on TV. It's cool to say we aren't a derby. Which is fine, saying that is actually part of the rivalry. It's them belittling us - classic rivalry behaviour.
  9. On the long shot it's really difficult to tell the difference.
  10. He operated like a big club chief executive and it is no coincidence we became a big club for a period. I know Gibson financed it but he was always in the press, in with the FA, dealing with the best players, giving us a voice at the top table. I noticed Ravanelli replied to the Boro post on Instagram. I am sure he played a huge role in getting him to come. We were mixing it with the big boys, I mean we were one match away from playing Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup! Magic times and he was massive in that. RIP Keith.
  11. I think a lot of mackems are using their FA cup game with us years ago when they only gave us ~3k due to safety concerns as one of the reasons they are angry - "mags get special treatment" To be fair however you spin it Sunderland have had a nightmare and their fans are seriously *** off 😂 - moved season ticket holders to accommodate 6k Newcastle fans - stopped Sunderland fans doing an anti Saudi banner - decked out "the black cats bar" in Newcastle colours It's tragic and embarrassing if you are a mackem. You just know the geordies will be singing for the next 50 y
  12. Me? No. But gives us a good chance of making play offs. Of course we do ideally need more than a striker. Just think we can't rely on Coburn and Latte Lath through to the end of the season.
  13. We have controlled the game against plenty of teams this season much higher than Rotherham, and I think the second half today was about running on empty. We were certainly good enough in the first half. The squad does lack quality, and of course ideally we will get a few in. Just believe we are most short in the striker area and that should be the priority. The issue we have is getting someone in is going to be tough.
  14. I think that was today, and yeah both were poor. But we did control the game against Rotherham and couldn't hit a barn door. You put Archer into this team and we make play offs I think. I realise getting someone like Archer again is a long shot.
  15. I think we do create enough quality chances. We just don't put them away. A striker is the priority for me. Coburn and Latte Lath aren't getting us in the play offs - and I think both have a future at the club.
  16. We need a good championship striker. Coburn is promising but should be back up. Latte Lath is raw but needs time. Unfortunately I just can't see anyone who is available or would come.
  17. Tank was empty second half. Thought Rogers was outstanding and Greenwood was worryingly absent. I can't work out if Barlaser is good or useless. Hackney, Crooks, Latte Lath all back in training I think Carrick just said. They will make us much stronger.
  18. Greenwood been anonymous. Looks afraid to make a mistake.
  19. Asking for my mates dad - is this on the red button? As it is a 'midweek' game.
  20. Bet Hull can't believe their luck. We just gave it to them. We have a distinct lack of quality in the forward areas.
