Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Saudi State FC - FA Cup 3rd Round – Saturday 6th January 2024 - KO 12:45

How will them chucking up some black and white signs impact our fans in any way? Not particularly delighted about it, but the reaction is way over the top. It's being used in the same way as a 'corporate' area, and we don't know who's footing the bill for it.

 

I’m guessing you didn’t mean to quote me there?

 

If this is true, whoever is responsible for making these decisions should be shown the door immediately!

You wouldn't see anyone at SJP making these concessions for our fans.

 

Bloody hell mate don’t say that some of the children’s heads on here will explode if they can’t have their daily dig at the club, that’s what they live for.

 

They will be more experienced but one thing in our favour is that our young lads should have more energy and as the game goes on and the Arabs are getting tired our young ‘uns could have an advantage.

 

That looks legit to me

 

The issue is we shouldn’t be seen to be rolling out the red carpet for them. It certainly looks that way and from a PR view it looks proper ****.

I would bet my house on it that they wouldn’t do it if it was the other way around

 

I think you may be underestimating the strength of feeling over this (I know I had) but a lot of people will definitely want him out for it.

 

Ha ha! F ucking hell, here’s a suggestion get a life mate, you and your little band are more embarrassing to the club than what they are.

 

Mags don’t use either of those phrases in songs though do they?

This could be all snide am holding judgement.

 

You might lose your house, so don’t bet it mate incase there’s a replay

 

What band would that be?

 

I rent

 

It’s mad to me but one thing our fanbase have proven themselves to be good at recently is over the top reactions.

I don’t like it and think it’s poor decision making and PR but I’m not looking to boycott, hound the owner out or (ironically) for heads heads to roll for it.

 

Fair enough to them but feck that. I remember how desperate we were for a takeover from the last lot. Not wanting that again.

I want Davison out. Not KLD.

 

If you don’t know now you never will.

 

Def not impressed about having any newcastle decorations in our stadium - some of these could still be photoshopped so i'll believe it when i get a picture from a reliable source.

If true then its poor from the club n theyll def need to learn from this for the future n offer an apology to us for it.

Seen folk wanting kld out for it which is def taking it too far imo.

However the most important thing will be what happens in the pitch. A win for us and most will forget about it as we will have local bragging rights!!

If they are at their best they win but anything can happen in the cup
