There absolutely will be an article on "The Mag" about Sunderland fans reactions. And it will include screenshots from on here. I remember being randomly quoted on there a while back, for article about our reactions when we were relegated.

Aye there will, the mag fanzine/ website is absolutely obsessed with what we think about them. Absolutely weird behaviour

I am at peace with Sunderland and enjoy watching brick by brick as our club will come together last thing I want is a money grab trophies 🏆 in our cabinets. Really Newcastle do you really think you will out spend Man City or Chelsea? Remember these flashy footballers want the bright lights of London not the town centre of Newcastle!!

But the Bigg Market and Quayside are world famous 😂

I'm really late to the discussion as I just sat back and read all the crap posted.
Have I missed something as the BBC state that PIF are separate to the State however their chairman is The Crown Prince? How does that work?

Apparently there’s 2 MBSs and 2 PIFs around. One set are really bad and the Premier League wanted nothing to do with them. They sanction the murder of journalists, using their own planes in the process, bomb Yemen, been held responsible for 9-11, etc…, etc…

The other set are the good guys who are trying to change and are buying Newcastle without using the states money, they’re totally independent. Sounds to me like a few brown paper bags have been passed around.

Woke up feeling deflated but having just seen the state of them outside of the ground and that the rest of the country is now seeing what we’ve seen for the last 30 years or more I don’t really care anymore. It will be fun watching them fail as they are all dressed with tea towels on their head making fools of themselves. The Jake Humphrey tweets have also made today a laugh.

I've missed these as I have him muted, what's the craic?

I’m a worker bee, I don’t change anything. The whole football thing has become a circus that makes it increasingly irrelevant. I ll support Ncle as I always have yet agree with Brian Clough when he said that live tv matches would ruin the game.
Equally, I’m sure people who work for Nissan don’t think too much about which export markers their products are sold in…
People just want something to cheer for, to smile at, to feel that something is going right
The righteous indignation sits as badly as the justifications for counties (or their proxies) owning club level football

Thanks for the reply. The bit in bold is quite something. I don't think righteous indignation or apparent hypocrisy is as bad as the justifications for human rights abusers to own a football club

It's Saudi Arabia they'll just build another town centre as easily as them other awabs are building cities for the world cup.

It wouldn't surprise me if they moved the training ground to London
 
I keep hearing Gerrard's name for manager. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if the prince has his own shortlist of managers. He gave WWE a list of wrestlers he wanted to see and most of them have been dead for 20+ years.

I'm sure he asked for Muhammad Ali at a boxing show last year and in WWEs case they had too bring back a 66y/o Hulk Hogan pay him alot of money and took so much shit for it because of all the problems that come with him just too make the prince happy.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if Shelvey's currently shitting herself because she has too explain to him why he can't have a Bobby Robson/Johan Cruyff dream team
