Terrible thing. They keep saying they'll stop it, but are terrified of upsetting players.

Think this season only the captain is allowed to speak to the ref? We'll see how long that lasts, if they do it.
All it would take is for a ref to send a couple people off for doing exactly that and players would stop doing it. I’d be happy for them ruining a couple games to get rid off that behaviour

100%. They targeted the perfect fanbase. Probably just because we’re local and get to see it first hand but I’ve genuinely never known so many gobshites around here who know absolutely nothing about football, don’t and never have gone to the matches yet act like they’re the best fans in the world. The amount that have crawled out of the woodwork is insane. Reckon my gym in CLS in 80% mags. The ****er is parked on the Wear.
History repeating itself mate. The same thing happened c.33 years ago when the Halls took over,declared an independent Geordie Nation and appointed little Gobby Kev. Durham was suddenly full of Mag shirts,worn by people who'd never been to Sid James and didn't even know how to get there.
 
Man if we get diakite it’s a joke

there’s no real flaw in his game he’s just good at everything

obviously doesn’t mean he won’t ever lose a duel or make a mistake but there’s nothing he does constantly wrong
What is the latest on Diakite?
 
Sorry if this has already been dealt with.....I haven't got the time to scroll back....but,is it right to assume that Lauriente was lined up as replacement for Mundle,whose hamstring scuppered his move away,hence our killing the deal?

It's not known exactly why Lauriente's deal was pulled, other than it was our choice and is "expected" to be something to do with not finding an agreement with the player.

King Kev who’s ego blew the title bookies had already paid out on …

… then walked out, sued the club and was never seen at SJP ever again <laugh>
 
Put that down to the coaching upheaval, I guess.

Which I'm hoping he isn't responsible for.

even if he is trigger happy with head coaches, I get the impression that at Sunderland its KLD who will decide if RLB gets sacked or not. Ghisolfi and Speakman would need to find the replacement and make recommendations, but I reckon KLD makes the decisions.
 
In an ideal world we'd get 2 of the 3 cb linked and a new keeper but we havent got an unlimited budget, especially when we need other improvements.

Just a thought as the keeper links had gone really quiet while being linked to move top cb. Knowing us we'll sign a keeper out the blue <laugh>

I honestly think if we got 2 of the 3 CBs and a keeper I'd be happy and actually fairly confident we could survive. We could maybe use one more winger since Mundle got injured but other than that I think we're in quite good shape. There's a bit of a clamour to upgrade up front but I'm pretty happy with Mayenda and Isidor, for the first half of the season at least.

If we upgrade both CBs, GK, and striker, literally the only player left in our first team who was already here permanently last season would be Hume...
 
I want to sign a Striker who is a bit different to the ones we have got, someone physical who can hold it up but wouldnt be worried if we didnt

Like everyone is saying CB's the main issue for me - But Seelt is doing himself no harm atm
