If there is one thing in football you can rely on, it is that dafty with a bell at Pompey.

I have met him, and he is a canny enough bloke, tbh. Daft for Pompey. I remember a few characters back in the day from us who were as daft, although they never had a bloody noisey bell, would have done my head in. I remember a lad who used to come into the fullwell, must have been late 80s. Always arrived as the lads were coming onto the pitch and he would give this massive bellow of 'haway lets rev em up' and the atmosphere would crank up. I moved to the paddocks but then at wembley 92 with 5 mins to go I heard him before I saw him. Daft as a brush, but great supporter. Football is enriched by all sorts of great characters, bell included I suppose.

He's not though, he's a pervert who keeps being banned from the ground for exposure, lewd gestures, etc ...

... half a dozen times last season iirc.

His latest was for being caught going into the women's toilets 'for a laugh'.

There's been calls, from Portsmouth fans, for a permanent ban.
 
Jesus. Just back from few days in Skegness. No WiFi in caravan. ****e reception all over gaff. Mobile data kicks in late in day and you get access to this forum.

Genuinely spent 90 mins or so each night trawling through this thread. Traumatised me every night.

Gutted Clarke seems gone but any genuine fan must be aware need to sell before we buy. Deal seems OK given the sell on clause.

End of last season I wasn't arsed who left. Clarke started well this season but he is not irreplaceable. Good luck to him.

Hopefully a great first signing since Clarke with Wilson. Awaiting more incoming soon.

How can two forums with the same club be so different? Wish the negative fans would go and join them lot up the road. Club ran completely different to couple of years ago and in line with the present football financial state.

To be honest I'm just glad I'm home.
So the last couple of pages are people talking about exotic places such as LA, San Francisco and Santa Barbara then you come on and announce that you've just got back from Skegness.

Made me chuckle <laugh>
 
Ha'way mate it's hardly unbridled anarchy.

One person came on for an argument and kept it up for hours, another was deliberately contrary.

Various people responded, the majority politely, and debated the issues just as you do.

This has been, and still is, a very good thread in my opinion.
It has been a good thread
However I have to admit I sometimes get confused when there are talking about none Sunderland information
 
I know it's fishpaste but maybe the last sentence can put the sales figure into perspective

@Capt_Fishpaste
[HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG] prob could have got a couple extra million from Ipswich for Clarke, but I’m told the add-ons are ‘practically guaranteed’ so it’s still the third largest Sunderland have ever received.

Market is what it is. Same price as Gyokeres, who’s the best I’ve seen at this level.

Sounds like a bell end.

That’s a very good point.

Love Jacky, but not in the same league as Gyokeres.
 
Might be controversial but I really think this sale helping us get the likes of Isidor, Simic and potentially Mendy and more will really benefit us a lot more.

we’ve needed a sale like this to start shopping in those higher markets. We’ve been shopping in that 1-2m market for a while.

this Isidor has a buy option if €4m and Simic was valued at €12m in December just gone.

I’ve just been watching some Wilson clips and he looks a ****ing player.

Be a pinch at that price if he adapts. Looks a happy carrot on all the club videos loads of personality.

Feels like a good un.
 
Imagine if we win tomorrow, Mundle has a good game playing in Clarke's place, we are top of the table, have signed a couple of decent strikers, and we have cash in the bank with a week of the transfer window still to go. What will people moan about then?
A single half time hot dog costing £6! I couldn’t believe it last week <laugh>

Anyway, sorry to bring the mood down. Guess it was a distraction from people arguing between each other for a hour or two. Haha

You’ve done anything but bring the mood down for me matey. You’ve shared a heart wrenching story with a result anyone would be glad to hear with your little one recovering to go to his first game. You’ve also brought out some great words and feelings from lots of your fellow posters getting some much needed good will and good feeling into this thread after it was beginning to go south a bit.
Hope you and your family have a great time at the game and hope the little one gets hooked forever like he rest of us!

News to me mate. Years ago when I bumped into him in a pub. Shows how good I am at judging characters eh.
