    We used to mock the Mags for mistaking endless protesting as passion ...

    ... we now have people wanting us to protest about seagull poo and the speed a half time pint is poured.*

    In the meantime clubs are going bust before our eyes.

    *An obvious exaggeration for comic effect.

    I think on here if it’s player related ‘he needs replacing with better’, transfer budget / recruitment related ‘won’t pay the fees ‘ etc all good. Speakman being nasty to the neighbours cat, Beale has a graty voice can live elsewhere.

    I actually don’t think anyone hates jobe there simply pointing out which seems clear as day that the lad needs a rest

    It is too easy to lookk at individual players and find fault as you could really pick out most of the team, it is really about our tactics formations and attitude on the pitch. These young players should be puffing there chests out and playing the brand of football they were brought here to play not this backs to the wall slow and turgid build up we have been playing since before TM was relieved of his duties.

    There should be different buttons to press to show how much disdain I have for this comment, it is utter rubbish and complete WUM waffle.

    Said this myself a while ago. Not in a moaning complaint way, just as an opinion.

    The Black Cats Bar thing has been blown out of all proportion and people are imagining what happened on, at best, very slim evidence. Because they've convinced themselves over that there is something wrong, they're jumping at shadows and turning every minor thing into evidence that the club is in dire straits.

    Haway man Norton, the owner was devastated and promised an investigation, has he blown it up to?

    Agreed. I think the worst thing that could have happened was us getting drawn against the Saudis in the cup. Regardless of our positions in football right now, a game against them lot was always going to heighten tensions. I agree re BCB - there are so many versions of the truth hanging around, and even the truth can be spun a few ways - the ticket allocation/gate receipts narrative could be spun to support OR attack the powers that be. People need to move on

    Exactly this, Jobe is a fantastic prospect but appears like he needs a rest, I feel there are better attacking options than him currently in the squad and playing them elsewhere so Jobe fit in is detrimental to the team as a whole. We can't afford that on our current run.

    I don't think anyone hates Jobe however some fans will start to have a go at him soon if he keeps underperforming, he needs protecting from that.

    Squad definitely needs some reinforcements. Could do with shaking up the team a bit too

    As I said earlier, I think next week it will all kick off with clubs sorting out deals. They might as well make the window a week long

    The various international tournaments aren't helping either.

    Well, the signs were put up, and he's said he wasn't happy about it and will investigate. That should be the end of it. We don't need all these endless theories about who did it, why it was done, who knew about it, and whatever else.

    Everyone thinks everything is a conspiracy nowadays. Its usually not.

    He's been a free agent since May. If we wanted him, we could have signed him at any point, regardless of transfer windows. We aren't signing him.
