He has a lot to answer for! :)

I think work output across the NE has dropped considerably from SAFC supporters. I know a number of mags who are also trying to keep up to date with developments.

Mrs Rocks (No) thinks Im having an internet affair the amount of time im on here.

Don’t worry about that mate, we’ll make up for it. I’ve seen a study that makes a very strong case that the fortunes of the football club have a direct impact on the levels of sickness, morale and ultimately output in the workplace across the region.

When SAFC are doing well, the city and (vast areas of) the region are healthier and more productive. FACT

I should just say that there are very well respected posters with more direct info from SAFC. However they're not about to jeopardise their relationship with the current owners by betraying a confidence for the sake of a bit of attention on here. I won't repeat anything they've told me because they'd quite rightly stop telling me.

It's exactly the same with the tickets I sort for people, other posters generally help but I've allowed myself to become a focal point for two reasons.

Firstly these lads don't want some of the endless negativity and snide cracks from the resident tossers. Secondly I don't give a shit. The many people who know me can read my posts knowing I'm repeating exactly what I've been told. The people who doubt me and sneer aren't worth the steam off my piss tbh. If I say I'll buy a ticket, or sort one for someone, people can rely on me 100% which takes the worry out of dealing with strangers, on a message board.

All I'll say, finally, is that the info from other people is even better than I've posted ...

... I wish I could hoy it up on here but can't.

When I see Glen Fuhrman's mate, on Sunday, I'll be able to post that because it will be first hand and not mentioned to me by one of the lads on here.

Hope that helps.

If my head says were doing a Wolves and my heart says were doing a Man city, am I on the right track or shall I be even more optimistic?

You do realise you can't use that line on the day it's announced right ...
... or is that still Sunderland?

😂 The wise owls said today I'm using that line today and tomorrow and Friday. If it hasn't happened by then I'll leave the board to find the appropriate words 😫

There was a study done years ago, about productivity in the shipyards on a Monday which showed level rose significantly following a Lads win on the Saturday

Absolutely fascinating ...

Perhaps he’s busy working on other things.

Yes, I’m not saying I think he will have anything to do with day to day running necessarily. I was just saying that by having a shareholding, he would still be counted amongst our owners in terms of total ownership wealth.
