Good job you lot aren’t obsessed with us, I’d hate to see what you’d be like if you were. We really are your lives aren’t we.

Just remember what your previous record signing said, you aren’t a big club, the fans are deluded and all he wanted to do was retire after he realised what he’d done and signed for you. Looking forward to you continuing to try to big up Newcastle during the next few days, as you’ll probably crawl away once our glorious takeover is officially announced.

It's hard to believe what with this thread and the Brexit stuff in the politics forum, but both the site traffic and number of visitors are actually well down on normal this week. It's all just very concentrated in a couple of places.

Last few days have seen < 17K unique users per day (normally between 20K and 35K) and < 400K page views/day (normally between 500K and 1M).

The site was seeing treble the traffic in the last week in May (play-off final week) compared to this week.

This isn’t a bite or a criticism and I’ve taken most of what you have posted with a pinch of salt but in all honesty I have to question your motives and/or your age. Sunderland (much like Newcastle) have a lot of exiles. Whether we are generally more tolerant of our nearest and dearest rivals (in equal measure) is always debatable. My brother who I love dearly, is a staunch black and white. Born in Sunderland, raised in Kent. He loves a bit of banter and he takes a lot of grief from me his dad and his many red n white cousins.
He in a way like yourself sometimes tries any way possible to find an excuse to say Newcastle will always be bigger better than Sunderland, his knowledge of the game and history (for a good few clubs) goes a long way with us putting up with it. Like you he throws a few stats here and there. Sadly you don’t fall into the same category as you seem to have this belief that by Supporting Sunderland, we (geordies “, and Mackems if you want) ,are some sub human species just occupying space south of the tyne.
We (Sunderland) have our our own Cheb helmets, but I have to say you sir really wear the crown well.
I personally couldn’t give two shakes of a sheiks knob what Newcastle (the club) have or haven’t done it’s really somewhat irrelevant to me as a Sunderland fan. I love having a bit of craic with my Newcastle supporting mates (sensible people funnily enough and don’t smell quite so strongly of gravy) but you seem intent on actions no like a 14 year old who thinks his life begins and ends about how good you are and how bad we are. It’s a sad life to lead if that’s what’s most important to you.
You’re lot have some good intelligent fans but in all honesty cannot see what this constant ‘my dads bigger than your dad’ mentality is going to achieve other than just make you look, as I said earlier, a bit of a womble. Seriously if you ever lived life outside of a football bubble you’d find there were a lot more sad c**** in the world than a bunch of Sunderland fans who may (or may not) eventually get a little bit of comfort and actual success in supporting a team that ‘will be forever in your shadow’. If ever we were to achieve anything like City, or even Leicester, I’d pat my mag brother on the back and simply say ‘hard lines’. Oh and maybe just maybe IF we actually won something (I reiterate WON) something of note, I may, just maybe, I’d spend a moment or two to gloat a little

The flight plan says yes and the lad who's giving me the info hasn't updated that info.

Having dealt with the mega-rich, with private planes, I know how easy it is for them to change times and dates.

The Oligarch I worked for was a nightmare and his lass was worse.

I once had to send the pilot back to Milan, from Nice, because she'd left her slippers and wanted them.

RTG is the internets best source for a recommendation on literally anything :lol:

It’s like New Years Eve, a bit fighting amongst fans, bitching, point scoring, knobhead mag in the corner.

Billionaires arrive, Jack Ross turns up and starts singing Auld Lang Syne, everyone tells him to fuck off, bit more battle and off to bed.

Lets not forget the ultimate Geordie, wearer of the 'famous' number 9 who not only took them down as manager but now it seems was trying to engineer a move away to Liverpool at the first sign of adversity :lol::lol::lol:

Good post mate, but. I really wouldn’t give him the oxygen of replying to his shite.

I remember reading that apparently he also wanted to sign for Man U after Blackburn, but the then Blackburn owner wouldn’t sell to a title rival so sold him to the mags instead.

Found a recent link actually.

I’d originally read it in the book “and up steps Michael Gray”.
