NUFC/Sportwashing

Interesting the coverage the unwashed get when they are in trouble. As we faded badly and sleepwalked into the third tier backwaters under the pathetic management of Moyes, Grayson and Coleman etc, the media never said a word.

Sycophantic interviews with the hideous Moyes by representatives of BBC Newcastle, not a word uttered in anger by Barnes, Gabbiadini or Pryde and the Mag Media like Caulkin, Bird, Hardy, Edwards (Orient fan with leanings towards NUFC) etc were equally culpable in not fighting the supporters corner.

Indeed, I seem to remember our support being questioned for putting pressure on players and absolutely nothing being said that we were actually dying on our feet because of pathetic overall management at all levels, allied to a horrendous transfer market policy that brought in a large nucleus of ineffective, disinterested and over paid players who were a disgrace to the shirt.

But aye, the Mags struggle and the media are screaming from the rooftops and giving unofficial fan groups huge back page headlines and an NUST member bleating on for ages on BBC Newcastle’s Total Sport last night saying 94% of their deluded fan base wanted the hideous Saudi’s in charge of their club. Not once did the show’s host Simon Pryde question the Saudi’s human rights record, the killing of a journalist, treatment of women etc. And at one stage actually stated (paraphrasing) that NUFC supporters hadn’t actually been treated too well.

Whaaaattt????

Oh for a Doug Weatherall or someone that can report on the two clubs without bias, but sadly I think those days are long gone 😔

Same as it ever was.

I don’t know why it’s always been like that - I think if Sunderland turned a corner and massively pushed on it would change.
 
Bruce has two games to Win one and lose one to equal his record for Sunderland.
Played 98 won 29 draws 28 lost 41

Current record
Played 96 won 28 draws 28 lost 40

Quite remarkable how similar the stats are.

Next 2 games
Away - Palace
Home - Chelsea

Then Sacked.

What got me was when Look North gave someone from one of their supporters groups a platform to whinge and cry cos they'd "only" spent 25 mil in the transfer window. Our club practically died in front of our very eyes while they sat back and said nothing.
